Default Quake 3 Arena

Just tidying up the home office and found a copy of quake 3 arena, i remember getting this free with a GFX card years ago as some package deal, forgot i had it, checked the wiki page and it was released 1999

figured i would see if my battered old thinkpad x22 laptop would run it

worked fine, thats not the part
checked to see if any servers are running (seriously doubted it)

**** me, loads of people are still playing this game

i am shocked

this is a perfect way for me to waste time at work now

anybody still playing this (after 9 years pmsl)

ps. lets not turn this into a thinkpad x22 vs PS3 debate
edit, just found a copy of "tom clancys ghost recon" installing now

old pc games = awesome for running on laptops

Spent way too many hours on Q3, was the definitive FPS. That and the original UT.

There is a new, updated version coming soon. It will be free of charge, with an updated engine and maps etc. and with an xbox-live-style friends / matchmaking / tournaments website hub too.

Google Quake Zero / Quake Live.
