Check out http://www.ucs.usl.edu/~dhm7206/quake.html

Apparently, John Romero had lunch with some guy from 3DRealms and told him that they are expecting
Quake to be out some time in April. :(

I guess that the important thing to me is when is the shareware coming out? If the shareware
came out in Jan. or Feb. I'd have no trouble waiting til April or beyond for the full version.
But if the shareware doesn't come out until April or so that will seriously suck.

   i'd expect the shareware version to come out only a week or two before the
actual game itsself (discounting any beta versions).

Maybe there wont be a shareware version.
I'm sure Id probably made more money per amount of time after release
with Doom II than they did with Doom.
I dont know the exact amounts Id made on any of their games, but
its not like i would really care anyway... unless they will let
me borrow one of those cars they commute in... :)
