Archiving the history of the video game Quake 2: created by id Software; customized by the Quake 2 community.
"The release of Doom II in 1994 was one of the most unnoticed letdowns of the gaming world.

Taking offense, you charge out of the fray, pinning the munchkin angrily with the feeble spray from your recreational bird shooter. The Gremlin whips about, and you gasp in horror as a hail of rockets blows you and the surrounding monsters into cyber-chunks."
