Now I have to remember all the activation points for the secret areas. Man, I remember being the only person with a Voodoo 1 and getting to play the 3DFx Glide version.

How is this one different from Quake 1 RTX?

I guess the fact that it is official. Also, it's free if you already own it (I have it on steam). Here are the release notes:

Man, this will forever be the "game that started it all". Grew up in a small town with like 0 video stores, arcades etc, and upon a trip to one of the places that had a mall, saw it in a computer shop being demo'd. The rest is history I guess

Also, been a diehard Trent Reznor fan ever since

Doom started it ALL!

I only got to play it around the same time when we purchased our first PC. Probably enjoyed both equally as much, but I can still remember wandering into that shop, eyes wide and jaw hanging open as zombies got mowed down by a nail gun. I mean, a nail gun... so edgy, so cool?!

We'd sneek into the Rhodes University Comp Sci labs at night with the original Doom demo stiffy discs. Generally didn't get evicted for misuse of university assets but so got to pull all nighters!

I did not even own a pc, used to live at my friends house lol he had a sis 6326 graphics card or something.

This thread is bringing back so memories

I remember using the keyboard to play, then one day a friend who stayed in Cape Town came to visit and he showed me the console. It was like magic... he typed "+mlook" and bam, suddenly you could use the mouse to aim. This was groundbreaking shit

 

[Johndaog]

That was quite a nice discovery this morning
The soundtrack is epic!

Groundbreaking but at first I preferred my original setup (arrow keys for movement and A/Z to look up down) but of course it didn't take long to see the light!

quak1 and +mlook was the first time i played fps with mouse. I first pushed back and said it'll never catch on. Then got my ass handed to me by my cousin and was forced to give it a try

 

[ian_stagib]

btw, I just tried this update out. 4k@120hz really does make this a nice update. Should try out some of the mods and see if they work with this. Also gonna be nice to set up multiplayer using steam invites

Modern Vintage Gamer just released a video about it, he was working on the remaster

 

[OuTBreaK]

It's free on Bethesda as well if you purchased the original version there.

Crossplay!?!??!
Half my old LAN buddies have given in to the dark side (console) so this is a big win for me
