I still remember playing multiplayer deathmatch (more than 1v1) over modem, with ~200 ping, and still feeling how crazy responsive it was. That was as transformative of an experience much like seeing SuperMario 64 for the first time.
Quake multiplayer was where I had to abandoned playing "closed style" on a keyboard and instead adopt the WASD mouse and Keyboard style.
Also remember when GameSpy was QSpy, and PlanetQuake was just a fan site?
And the fun of playing Threewave CTF with the grappling hook.
- malbs 10y agoI reckon you're talking about QuakeWorld. Because Quake on a 200+ ping was ice-skate-mode.
- balls187 10y agoI can't recall exactly when I made the switch to Quakeworld, but I'm pretty sure when I first fired up Quake1 over modem, it was still quite responsive even with the original netcode.
