Children...

I played qtest1. under DOS. By modem. A 14.4K modem. with a PPP dialer.

"LIAR!", you'll shout. "It's impossible to play in such nightmare scenario!".

Yes, it was impossible to play. But I simply ignored it, and played. Or at least, tried.

And then I did what NOBODY else would dare: I played Quake... Under a DOS window in OS/2. And I discovered that it was better than pure DOS, because good ol' OS/2 had 32-bit modem drivers and an embedded TCP/IP stack for every DOS window, so no need of the god-damned dialer I used in MS-DOS. I played literally hundreds of hours of NetQuake (mostly Threewave CTF) under OS/2 - and I mean hundreds, as my telephone bills could testify. Oh, those were the days...

good ol os/2 may it rest in peace well it actually still exsist

its called ecomm station been toying a bit with it except for no directx support (well it does have an emu based on wine) opengl stuff runs quite ok

Never did like multiplayer, the culture and the trash talk just hold zero appeal to me, and the type of game I do enjoy most involves exploration and going "oooh! ahhh!" at architecture. Quake SP is a great and simple quick-fix for that kind of thing (no goddamned "fiendish AI" either to get in the way of me doing what I like) but QW is utterly useless so far as I'm concerned.
