Any one feel like a dip? Once you slip into The Ancient Aqueduct with your waterproof shotgun (a Quake special feature) you will believe that you have been transported into another world. Roger has created a fascinating world that is highly immersive (no pun intended). His blending of Quake styles and themes drips with originality.While Roger indicates in his readme file that there is no story per se, it plays like a movie. The underwater construction, well heck the entire construction feels like it could be a real place.

"The aqueduct is split into 3 colour coded sectors, finish red sector to move onto green and complete green to move onto Blue. I enjoy finding secrets in levels so I placed in 6 for your amusement" -Roger Staines

When I played it I appreciated those six secrets (good luck finding them all), they came in oh so handy. I also completed this level without using the nailgun. Not because I am a pro it was only because I did'nt find it! I would make a great sniper with a shotgun :-)

Well if you have not played this one yet you really should. Despite how it sounds the underwater sequences are minimal, but the fun and gameplay is maximum. Come on in, the waters fine.

This aint' your pool at the YMCA. Hmmm, mighty big filter skimmers they use here too.

Now aint' that a pretty sight. I feel kinda like I am in Rome Did you know that the Babylonians and Egyptians built large scale undergound aqueducts but the Romans preferred a row of arches (like this one here) supporting the channels along which water flowed downhill from mountains to cities.See Quake is educational as well as fun!
