This is interesting ... it talks about the idea behind the super computer room in DM3 ... dunno if anybody else seen it.

Cool. Never realized that room was supposed to represent a bunch of computers because I always played software mode without textures etc.

I have always played WITH textures but, just like you, had never realized that.

If you enable ambient sounds, you can also hear these beeps and other "computery" sounds when it that room. Good story though. Who would have thought a deal gone bad would lead to the most popular tdm map in QW? ;-)

Ambient sounds ftw. Teleporters windy sounds, swamp sounds etc

That computer room was a maze when playing with keyboard only.

Hehe interesting. And I agree, ambient sounds ftw, just recently re-enabled them ingame.

Exactly. At least there's one more person on this board that has actually played Quake the old way

That's a sweet read As weird as Romero is/was in the past, he has a ton of cool stuff for us Quake-heads coming out in the recent years in the form of his writeups and .map releases and so on
