I have zero nostalgia for Quake (i was 5 when it came out lol), but i wonder how this will do! Quake Champions didn't seem to light the world on fire, but i wonder if the multiplayer scene here will blow up.
Quake itself was ok. The multiplayer version was fun. But the real fun started when people began modding the game. The original Team Fortress was actually a free mod for Quake which I'm pretty sure quickly became the most popular instance of the game for online play.
Funny random tidbit, I actually remember playing the game with one dude who specifically had to brag about having a high powered 1ghz processor as his username in the game (something like 1gigahertz or something cheesy like that). Pretty sure back then I was still rocking a 700mhz AMD Athlon Thunderbird processor.
The mods were fantastic. One that always sticks in my mind was Quake Rally. I think you controlled a car and drove it through the standard levels or some new maps, I can't remember, it's been so long.
Hot dang, I never heard of that mod, I'll have to check it out! lol
