It went really great - we had over 15 BBS players through the meetup; it was really fun chatting and fragging with people you've been BBSing with for years... just like back in the old days; minus all the modem lag!

Quake 2 was my multiplayer game. We had a CTF clan, Frags 'R' Us and would play Thunderwalker CTF maps. There was me, Big Mel, Ichora and some other kid whose name I can't remember. We were unbeatable. We played tons of matches with several games in each match and lost maybe 2 or 3 games at the most. We were insanely good.

So we're using Zandronum for the DOOM NetPlay - theres another version, I think qZandronum??? - and that one is for Quake maps; the Quake community focuses more on Quake MODS, whereas the DOOM community focuses on retro maps that we all know and love - but if yer into Quake, you might wanna take a peak at qZandronum. (Or maybe I'm misnaming the Zandronum fork... but there is one for Quake that I fired up...)

Come by the DOOM meetup next month; 03/02/2024 - detailed info in the DOOM Menu @ 2oFB... it was a blast!!

Are you keeping the server up? I saw it running on Sunday, hoped it is
going to be a continual thing.

Quake II was great. I used to play Sheridan: city1 - the same map, all
the time.

I think Quake 1 was my peak FPS game, though. I would love to find some
of the maps I played back in the day.

I loved the Quake 1 NiN soundtrack - I still have it somewhere...

I'm glad the server is still up, I jumped on yesterday a couple of
times.

One request? Bigger maps. It's a little frazzling spawning right where
you died and dying again and again and again.

I played Quake 2 quite a bit in the late 90s. I remember it being a fun game, but I also remember it being fairly bad if there was any significant lag.

I've only ever played the first GTA.. I remember playing it in 1998, and at the time I had a PC with a 3DFX Voodoo2 card, and I played the Voodoo accelerated version of GTA. I thought it was fun, though I never played any of the later GTA games.

Quake was fun. Since then though, I think the Unreal Tournament seris has been my favorite FPS games. I still played Unreal Tournament 3 up until a few yeaers ago, when I started noticing most of the servers I'd usually play on had pretty much all disappeared. Ironically, I think there are still some servers up for the original Unreal Tournament..

Since then, I've found a free open-source FPS called Xonotic - It's fairly similar in style to Unreal Tournament, and it's available for Windows, Linux, and Mac.

Me and Big Mel had cable modem or something highspeed at the time, Ichora had 64K DSL and the other guy was some amazing HPB.

I remember using Gamespy to find the fastest servers.

The first was the overhead view and 8 bit sound or something like that. I did have a copy of it. I think the next one I played was GTA3 and then Vice City which was probably my favorite since it had the 80's theme.

One of the things I hate about the game is some of the missions to get 100% like do 100 taxi drops, 100 fires. Very mundane. I tend to get those done early before it gets more difficult. It was also a good way to build up a little cash.

I really didn't care for GTA V as much. Maybe I'm not into the profanity as I get older. I do like how it is open world and not quite as linear as the others.

Server is up 24/7 - DWANGO5 maps are currently loaded, because thats what we're playing next month on 03/02 - hope you'll join again!! Available for practicing right now - and daily until the next meetup!

The DWANGO5 maps are the most iconic DOOM II multiplayer maps ever - I'm sure you'll remember them - they're live now, but I think you know that!

GTA 2 Multiplayer still holds up today. Tons of fun.

I really don't remember much about it. It was a long, long time ago.

I loved the Quake 1 NiN soundtrack - I still have it somewhere...

I liked the Quake 1 TW CTF maps. Didn't like Q2 as much, too many maps weren't symetrical so one team often had an advantage.

I liked the CD soundtrack for MechWarrior 2 also. My favorite song from that is Pyre Light.

I only learned this just this week, but the soundtrack from SimCity 3000
was at one time available on CD. I wish I had known that back then. ;)

That's cool.
Although I played the first 2 SimCity games a lot, I didn't play the later SimCity games much at all. I'm not sure why.

same here, but the last simcity that came out I ended up getting under macos because for some reason it was free at the time. and it was pretty good.

I always though it would be pretty cool to have a doorgame that is pretty much like simcity or simcity 2000, might even be one out there and I just havent seen it yet.. my faves were simcity 2000, red alert 2, and roller coaster tycoon..

I played 2000 because it would work well on my 386DX40. I didn't pick up
3000 until I had a machine that it could run on (it required Windows). I wanted to pick up 4 but its system requirements at the time were well above whatever I had.

3000 is an upgrade to 2000. Gameplay is a little more complicated, but
there are some things that are a little easier than in 2000.
