I've always like the look and atmosphere of Quake 1 the best, with the more
gothic attributes.  Quake 2 is far and away a better game, though.
Personally, I'm glad that Q3A is going back to the look of Q1.  I may be the
only one....  I don't like overly colorful games.  I felt like Unreal was
"cartoony".

damn right, the feel and atmosphere of an ID game has always been helped 
to a certain degree by the level of it's brown-ness, 

Adding too many bright colors would make them seem like just another 3D 
game cloner, which they definetely are not (well technically they are, 
but you see my point, heh).

Yeah, I loved Duke's level layout. Hollywood & Red Light were excellent to play
on. Glad I got them converted to play on Quake.

There was a screenshot I saw in a magazine where the player was looking 
at a big wall with large bright yellow and blue areas on it. It looked 
like a very nice change.

Then I found out that there had been a printing error, and that picture 
had come out brighter than it should have done. The actual picture looks 
very dull.

Yeah, right. The atmosphere was much better than in games like UNREAL, which was
a bit too colorful.

Ironic that I originally saw this picture, and it was very bright and 
nice-looking, and a big change from id's previous games, but it turned 
out to be a printing error, and in fact looked just as dull as anything 
in Quake 2.

You will meet a tall dark stranger. Unfortunately he's holding a large gun.

I remember when the first Quake2 screenshots came out. People slammed
them as being too clourful. Q2 was the better game, but (personally) I
prefer the browns of Q1 for atmosphere.

Both Q2 and Q1 had the same colour depth, just different palettes.

However, Quake 2 in OpenGL mode had coloured lighting - so although the 
textures were only 256 colour, they could simulate a larger palette by 
using coloured lights in the right places.
