I know it changes geographically but the 80's were rad and the 90's were wicked, where I come from anyway.
..also Quakeworld rocks. Still have it installed.


Ditto for 1980s compared to 1990s. Do you still play QW?

IMO, QuakeC is what made Quake something really special. The modding community took it to the next level.

I learned C programming making mods for Quake, before I was even interested in programming professionally.

I never built any that were distributed to the community. Mostly I just fooled around with making stupidly overpowered weapons for me and my friends.

Seeking missles, mirv grenades, spike mirv grenades, seeking missles that spawned spike mirv grenades... You get the idea.>> ^ant:
