I'm often asked why I hate Microsoft - "What did they ever do to you?". Well, I'll tell you. They made dodgy programs and standards which have wasted hundreds of hours of my time involving lost work in crashes and stupidity.

It's about Kintaro's computer, not everybody's.  And SW's specs aren't "fucking awesome" anyway. ;)

improved a lot since 1, 1 and 2 have a story, 3 is deathmatch/ctf/etc on different maps and was mainly for multiplayer, quake4 continues from where quake2 left off, yet has similar multiplayer to quake3.

I'd like to get Quake 4 Special Edition purely because it comes with Quake 2, which I haven't played in YEARS. :(

Why not download the GPL'd source code for Q2 and compile it?

I've looked for it, but I can't find any download links that actually WORK. :mad:

Hard for me to answer, I as find Quake 1 flawless.  It's totally brilliant.  I wonder if there's any Linux binaries that actually WORK (ie, not compiled for libc5) out there.

Quake 2 was pretty good also, very different, but good in its own right.  The mission-based gameplay was a bit disorganized, but it wins in all other areas.

Quake 3 was...bleh.  Great for people who love multiplayer, I guess, but I never got much into that.  UT2k4 is a much better multiplayer game than Q3 anyway, from personal experience, so I bet the then-current release (plain UT?) also beat it.

I've recently given up on true gaming, so I don't think I'll even play Q4.  I might fire up Q1 every once in a while, but I don't go farther than that.

I love the original Quake, too.

When I do get to play it, which is always only the demo, I won't stop playing it. :P

Only the demo?  Ouch, sucks for you.  You're missing a lot of great stuff.

The origional won't run on XP so I boot with FreeDOS and it works a treat.
