The Fascination of Quake up to Quake III Arena

#Quake revolutionized FPS gaming in 1996 with its fully #3D engine, dark gothic atmosphere, and fast-paced gameplay.
It wasn’t just a game but a milestone that shaped multiplayer with intense #deathmatch battles and laid the foundation for #esports.

#Quake2 shifted to a #scifi setting with improved graphics and gameplay, keeping the pace high and expanding the modding scene.

Then #Quake3Arena focused purely on competitive multiplayer, refining movement mechanics like #rocketjump and #strafejump, making it the ultimate #arenashooter. The series’ legacy lies in its technical innovation, community-driven #mods, and timeless #gameplay that still inspires #FPS gamers today.

This weekend I made what felt like a thousand updates to https://www.classicmacdemos.com/ to improve compatibility, SEO, speed, security, and consistency, and other stuff that folks probably won't even notice, but that I'll sleep better at night for having done.

I'm super grateful to that-ben from Macintosh Repository and @mihaip for their tremendous collaboration and guidance. It's pretty amazing to start a little hobby project and then find yourself working with #retrocomputing rock stars.

I just added demos for #Quake3Arena and #StarWars Episode 1: Racer, bringing the collection to 72 game demos. HTTP-only mode for classic mac web browsers is halfway decent. Fire up iCab and give it a visit for some bite-sized #retrogaming fun.

I am an #Innkeeper at a Bed and Breakfast in the greater #AustinTX area and a retired #SystemsEngineer.

A long time ago, I taught myself #C and then later, #HTML, #CSS, and #Python. Now, I am trying to learn #Rust.

I enjoy #AmateurAstronomy, #BirdWatching, #RosevillePottery, #SciFi, #Fantasy, #HairMetal, #SmoothJazz, #Classical, #Ingress, #Chess, #QuakeLive, #Quake3Arena, and #Texas42. And yes, #KurtVonnegut is one of my favorite authors.

Quake III Arena: gameplay via Steam Play on MX-Linux 17 Horizon.

Thanks to the new version of Steam Play that use Proton (Wine-based) to run games developed only for Windows.

He's still on route to improve the ffmpeg script for the screen capture, though.
