On many occasions, I can't connect to a server because they are full. I have many friends that come regularly onto quake1 servers. Thanks to people like Mr. Shambler , Tux , and Dolomite quake1 still gets exposure. People forget, the reason that quakeII exists is because of quake1. Without quake1 being such a great game, quake2 would not be here today, nor quake3.
People forget their roots and get lost in high powered weapons and flashy gimics.
Some, have never even experienced this. And I feel sorry for them. It's a great feeling, to here when an enemy is coming in the megahealth room on dm4 and chuck a couple rockets down the hall. In conclusion, if someone sends you somenews having to do with quake1, post it. There are still a great number of people who want to know about it.
