<div class="IPBDescription">Happy birthday skippy! :D</div>Today is Quake 1's birthday! It is now 8 years old!

Seems like a long, long time, doesn't it? I still remember I picked up the Quake 1 Shareware CD the day it came out...
and its still in my cd rack, just like its been for these past 8 years. :D

    Wow... that's a long time. I've only been gaming online since MW3 and RogueSpear. (1998-1999 or so)

    I have been a Doom fan before then, though <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
