Hi Myrmidon,
    You probably want to use a quake source port for playing such as glquake
or xquake.  There are better ones that those I listed, but I just haven't
used them.   When using glquake, don't forget to rename the opengl32.dl in
your quake directory.

    Other source port info is available here:
http://www.quakesrc.org/?Page=links

As far as maps go, look here:
ftp://3darchives.in-span.net/pub/   (idgames2)

Have fun!

G.

This is a package that includes a number of useful utilities and add-ons as
well as some popular DM maps, on top of probably the best and most
up-to-date still-in-development QW replacement, FuhQuake (which also works
for single player)

Where is the old school fragfest going to be at?  Around Houston maybe?

And no Q1 fragfest is complete without CTF with the _classic_
grappling hook that hangs onto your enemy even when he's out
of sight, as you listen to his life ebbing away. . .just the thing for
those late-night campouts in the window overlooking the
causeway outside the base. . .
