Quake 1, although the online community is barely hanging on and it's a shadow of it's former self. It's the only online FPS I played almost daily for two years consecutively. I loved the incredible pace, or how if you were fortunate enough to wield the rocket launcher you held all the cards (not to the mention the added luxury of being able to rocket jump). It was the game to make online gaming popular, plus Id actively encouraged user created content so it became one of the first games to have a large mod community.Then, come 1998-1999 people jumped ship for games like Unreal Tournament and Tribes. A very sad day indeed, today you will be lucky to find server.
GS agrees too, read Quake's article in the "greatest games of all time" section here in Gamespot.

Ah yes, I have many fond memories of Quake. I wish I hadn't lost my copy ages ago. Hey, do me a favor and check if my old server is still running, quake.snowcrest.net, hehe.

I still have my copy, however my carelessness has led to countless scratches on the back of the CD and it hasn't worked since the start of this year. So, unfortunately I can only play Quake 3 (I refuse to acknowledge that Quake 4 exists) Is there a way of checking without the game?[QUOTE="NerdMan"][QUOTE="rpg9000owner"]Quake 1, although the online community is barely hanging on and it's a shadow of it's former self.

So, unfortunately I can only play Quake 3 (I refuse to acknowledge that Quake 4 exists) Is there a way of checking without the game?I don't think so. I highly doubt it's still running anyway.

I've seen Quake collector packs at local retailers that have Quake 1-3 all for 20 bucks. Maybe your area has them as well?Enemy Territory: Wolfenstein, which is available for free online. The best things in life really are free. :)project343
What server do you play on?
