I know what you mean, to a degree. I have been playing since the original Quake and could barely imagine having more fun than I did with that. I recall all the lag, but I also remember the innovation, awesome soundtrack, badass monsters (Ogre? Sloth? Skrag? The bigass bloodquenching baddie whose name i forgot:)), the eruption of a scripting world. it was all just too fun. nowadays we simply have varying degrees of robot-like monsters. Quake3 models seem good, but I cant judge it until i leave TRIBES and EverQuest, get my new K7 500MHz system up, and play through Unreal Tournament some more and then finally move on to Q3. Stuck on a P233 MMX w/ Diamond Moster3D II & 128MB RAM for now. PS: remember the mod where you could play as the Quake1 monsters?
