So we're using Zandronum for the DOOM NetPlay - theres another version, I think qZandronum??? - and that one is for Quake maps; the Quake community focuses more on Quake MODS, whereas the DOOM community focuses on retro maps that we all know and love - but if yer into Quake, you might wanna take a peak at qZandronum. (Or maybe I'm misnaming the Zandronum fork... but there is one for Quake that I fired up...)

Come by the DOOM meetup next month; 03/02/2024 - detailed info in the DOOM Menu @ 2oFB... it was a blast!!

Not really my thing any more. I'm waiting for GTA VI to come out and hope it's better than V.

I'm glad the server is still up, I jumped on yesterday a couple of
times.

One request? Bigger maps. It's a little frazzling spawning right where
you died and dying again and again and again.

I've only ever played the first GTA.. I remember playing it in 1998, and at the time I had a PC with a 3DFX Voodoo2 card, and I played the Voodoo accelerated version of GTA. I thought it was fun, though I never played any of the later GTA games.

The first was the overhead view and 8 bit sound or something like that. I did have a copy of it. I think the next one I played was GTA3 and then Vice City which was probably my favorite since it had the 80's theme.

One of the things I hate about the game is some of the missions to get 100% like do 100 taxi drops, 100 fires. Very mundane. I tend to get those done early before it gets more difficult. It was also a good way to build up a little cash.

I really didn't care for GTA V as much. Maybe I'm not into the profanity as I get older. I do like how it is open world and not quite as linear as the others.

GTA 2 Multiplayer still holds up today. Tons of fun.
