Man I had a 386 pc with a Monster3D card and a 28.8 modem still running GL Quake till not long ago. Good times back in the mid 90’s, dragging our PC’s to the computer lab at UBC where my buddy worked, to 4 on 4 deathmatch with other clans on stanford.edu’s Quake servers on the university’s T1 internet connection. Good times. We always had to take our receipts for our computers with us so Security wouldn’t think we were just stealing computers from the lab when we left. It’s crazy that my fibre to the home internet connection that I have today has more than three times the bandwidth than what the whole university ran on.

Remember when Dennis Fong aka D11 Thresh from the Death Row Quake clan won John Carmack’s Ferrari for winning the very first QuakeCon? That guy was deadly. I once screenshotted a rocket kill I got on him, but it wasn’t fair because he was fighting two other guys at once in a hallway on DM5.
