I still play Quake with Rygel's HR texture pack and the Darkplaces mod and it looks beautiful. It still has incredible replay value. It NEEDS SLI, even.

Why on earth would Quake need SLI... lol

Agreed on Quake Live, they took Q3TA and made it browser compatible, and now it's a standalone. Doing great so far.

I played Quake when it first came out in software mode, on a Cyrix 5x86 120. Back then it was great, but I can't see playing it now, with its low polygon count models and wooden animation sequences.

I played it on a Pentium 75 with 16MB of RAM. Software mode.
Those were the days... Couldn't manage more than like 240P resolution hehe.
