I ordered my copy of Q3A Special Edition for Linux from Loki and had no problems. I received it by dec. 22 (I live in Argentina). I'm so happy I can't stop fragging!!! Can't wait for the next lan party...:)
Ultima Underworld is an RPG. It's something else, you're comparing two completely different game genres. What you don't seem to get right is the fact that nobody cares about te game 'plot', because these games are intended for multiplayer gaming. I've enjoyed playing doom and doom2 over GammeConnection on my favourite BBS, and I always enjoy the improved realism of new versions of quake. Of course it's boring to play Q1,2,3 on single-player. It sucks to go around blowing things up with nothing to think about (even if graphics are really nice).
I guess you never played CTF. And if you did, you lost. I spend hours with my Quake clan's people to define a strategy for our next rival, and it's no child game to stand up before real human experienced opponents on a CTF tournament. For THAT, you need brain cells. Lots of it.
of course that doesn't mean you have to like the game. I just think you haven't tried the best part of it.
I was just wondering.. most gamers buy Intel chips because of their better fpu performance (at least until we can get our hands on an Athlon). But some games have been released (usually unofficial) with 3dnow! enhaced binaries which prove AMD chips can be great for gaming too. Is there any possibility that we'll see a 3Dnow! enhaced version of Q3A for linux or at least one for Q2? (i know there's one for windoze).
