If this is right… Romero made a lot of “Military Sh!t” on Quake. That epic game was a team effort. Romero was just an awesome member of that awesome team. A little respect to the M1 maps!!

Great read! It is always nice to hear from Romero. There’s still a lively community playing quake, and that computer room on DM3 has been alive for almost a decade and a half!

Check us out on quakeworld.nu … and of course the biggest edition of QHLan yet (number 14!) is coming up first week of november

Yeah. I couldn´t find it either. That´s why those coold contibutionis from Romero are needed. To fill in the gaps…

Talking about this, if it is worth noting… The “Dark Fantasy” style of yours kicked ass in Quake. I always hated the “Military Sh!t” of the first levels of the Episodes (made by McGee I think). Your design should have ruled the game. You know what? It would be super cool if you some day released all level as you intended it to be ! Dark Fantasy all over it ! It would leave your mark to the new generation of “Quakers” playing it on new 3D engines…

I think i´ll just dive in Masters of Doom again ! Thanks John ! Sad how things ended. You and Carmack would rule the world. More then he did alone. Although I loved Quake as it was back then… If it had more of you there… It would have been f#cking brilliant.

” and a couple with PowerPC’s in them.”

I think you mean HP PA-RISC boxes. Nextstep never ran on PPC outside of NeXT.

So you left because of that Windows stuff? Because that was also the time I stopped playing on PCs, game running on Windows, what a weird idea? And I am still not gaming on PC, except Live for Speed which has no alternative on consoles. Interesting read though (I found this thanks to article about Cray at root.cz).
