nostalgia at its finest

[featherfoot07]

I know i must have spelt that wrong but I don't care.

Have you ever wondered where your favorite game started off? Modern Warefare 2? Battlefield: Bad Company 2? Where did they evolve from? What did they come from?

The anwser: Quake.

Guess what ladies and gentlemen: Everything quake is 50% off for the Steam Mid-Week madness deal. So, if you like me and old enough to remember tearing up on quake when basic home computers could run these games well, when graphics didn't mean jack squat in a game.....

Go buy them and play with me, This is a huge case of nostalgia for me. Namely, this is where Half-Life came from so - its special to me.

now some of us old folks would argue that it started with Wolfenstein 3D, but that wouldn't be as cool of a segue way (sp?) into the Steam sale.

Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake. Close enough

Bought the ID super pack a long time ago when it too was on sale, and it has been awhile since I blasted through Quake. Might be time to bust it out again!

Ahh quake, i remember those days. We didnt care about damn graphics in those days. Now the only thing that makes a game good is graphics!

Duke Nukem 3d (1996) came before Quake and Doom (1993) came before Duke Nukem.

Wolfenstien 3C came out in 1992 but I don't think it had a multi-player option.

The earliest 3D war game I can think of has been around a little bit longer. It's called Chess.

Counter Strike is already enough nostalgia for me.

I missed out on the good old days of PC gaming, but at least I've enjoyed Quake III. Also, I suggest everyone tries out Quake Live, it's free after all.

First game I remember was Rainbow Six.
That game was awesome,
I was ~5-7

Shadow Warrior and Duke Nukem 3D!

I used to play against Quaffer in Doom when it first came out. Come to think of it, he beat me at Duke Nukem too.

Did 'Chess' come before Go? I tried that game a few times but got my but kicked. Black and white stones on a huge grid board and the strategy is incredibly complex.
