Bill Kendrick writes "Quake's 3D graphics too realistic for you? Why not try this map, which reproduces the classic Atari 2600 game of blocky dragons and castles, Adventure!" I especially like the models for the dragons.

I can't wait til he replaces the Quake gun with the "-" 'sword' from the game.
New Tetris Quake engine? by zensonic · 2002-09-10 20:25 · Score: 4, Funny

Haven't seen any announcements of this Tetris quake engine anywhere?

Somebody has way too much time doing things like this. ;-)

Nethack fans rejoice! by Jugalator · 2002-09-10 20:36 · Score: 5, Funny

Finally, Quake has been brought to a level Nethack fans might actually enjoy.

Whether it was brought up or brought down to that level, well, that's another question. :)

FSAA and still blocky gfx nooooo ;-) by The+Moving+Shadow · 2002-09-10 21:45 · Score: 2, Funny

I was just proud i could enable all those fancy options like FSAA, quadrillion supersampling, image smoothing, mothion blur et cetera and now i still have these blocky graphics and jagged edges! ;-) I guess i'll have to buy an even fancier videocard to see the yellow dragon less blocky...

  see the yellow dragon less blocky...
  No problem. Just smear some grease on a pair of sunglasses and squint a bit. Voila - analog anti-aliasing! Works with any graphics card! Infinite resolution! Unlimited processing power! Cleans your teeth while you sleep! XP!
  I should patent this so no one else can abuse the technology...

I guess Q3A Nethack might look something like this canine-themed picture.
He's got the visuals... by zaren · 2002-09-11 01:25 · Score: 3, Funny

but what about the audio? Will we be able to hear a simple *bloop* when picking up an item? How about the sound when killing a dragon with the sword? And I seem to recall an odd sound loop when running into certain things...

I don't have Quake3 (sacrilege!), but I might just go get a copy after this map is finished :D
