Archiving the history of the video game Quake 2: created by id Software; customized by the Quake 2 community.
"Quake Shareware: id Software hat sich offenbart, Quake, um das sich so viele legenden rankten, liegt als shareware-version mit einer episode und acht levels vor. Fur uns anlass genug, ein erstes statement arzugeren und antwort auf die vielen nachahmer ausfohrlich unter die lupe zu nehmen."
"There's no doubt that playing games against a human is infinitely more fun than playing against a computer. Until recently, however, graphic multiplayer gaming was solely the domain of those with access to their workplace's local area network – not the ideal place to play games. But now all this is changing."
"Bill Gates: I played the videogames of the time, when I had more time. Frogger, Pac-Man, Defender... NEXT Generation: What the hell does Bill Gates know about games, anyway?"
"As long as the potential to play games exist, games will be played. Just as the most functional elastic band becomes ammunition in the occasional office skirmish, after hours office computers cease to run Excel and Doom is booted up. The relationship between leisure and business computing is tight. The current boom of state-of-the-art games development enjoyed by PC owners is a direct consequence of the PC's widespread penetration into the home as a business machine. Gaming follows on the coattails of more sober applications."
"Edge: Where did the idea for Wolfenstein 3D and Doom originally come from? John Carmack: They were both examples of gameplay looking for a game. We designed the user interaction and display technology to be as cool as possible, then worked a game around it. Wolfenstein was a homage to an old favourite, but Doom is just a killer environment with no pretensions of having a real story."
