Sorry, this isn’t on topic, but we’re coming up on the 10th anniversary of Daikatana. Are there any plans to commemorate that event, like releasing the game on GOG.com, Steam or for free – or is that beyond your control (I guess EIDOS owns the distribution rights)?

Awesome.

Man you’re bringing back memories here. 14 years already?

You know… I’ve been wanting to play through Quake again; dunno why but I’ve been sorta jonesing for some old-school FPS action.

Anyone know how to get Quake running on a Windows 7 machine? I’ve looked into DosBox, but not sure if that’s a good solution…

Heh I remember getting a copy of QTest off a UK computer magazine’s cover CD (I did ask a friend who had the Internet to download it for me, but he said his 33.6k modem was too slow .

I installed it on my 486, ran it… shrinked the screen down to its smallest size and said “I need a new PC… right now”. It was fascinating being able to walk over a ledge, and then walk underneath it.

I was lucky enough to be around when this evolution in gaming was introduced and quite frankly guys without it I dont think online gaming would be what it is today without it.

I can remember days of when me and buddies dialed direct into each others modems running at 14.4k and playing 1vs1.
