I remember my first session on the Quake 3 Arena demo. I played so long that it felt like my eyes were bleeding! Quake 3 remains the only non-MMO that I have played for over 24 hours straight. It is, for me, the best FPS ever, and all you champions of UT can STFU!

I shall never forget the day when I first played Quake on the PC. Wonderful moment! It had the same appeal like a fat kid all over cake. I was completely hooked to Quake back in the day, but I do need get around and play Quake 4! I heard it wasn't the greatest nor the poorest.

I remember the first time getting a nailgun in a hidden area on the shareware stage. That prompted me to order the full game that very night over the phone from a retailer in PC Gamer. The sounds, the enemies, the free-flowing movement - everything about Quake I was cool.

Fun memories.
