It went really great - we had over 15 BBS players through the meetup; it was really fun chatting and fragging with people you've been BBSing with for years... just like back in the old days; minus all the modem lag!

Next month we'll be playing DWANGO5 maps, one of the most iconic multiplayer map sets ever release for DOOM 2.

1st Saturday every month @ 6PM PST / 9PM EST - detailed Zandronum/DoomSeeker install/setup instruction on 2oFB in the DOOM Menu.

The 2oFB .pk3 added a ton of easter eggs into the maps that will be growing next month; DWANGO5 maps are loaded on the server and players can practice all month long!

Hope you can jump in on 03/02/2024!!

Quake 2 was my multiplayer game. We had a CTF clan, Frags 'R' Us and would play Thunderwalker CTF maps. There was me, Big Mel, Ichora and some other kid whose name I can't remember. We were unbeatable. We played tons of matches with several games in each match and lost maybe 2 or 3 games at the most. We were insanely good.

Are you keeping the server up? I saw it running on Sunday, hoped it is
going to be a continual thing.

Quake II was great. I used to play Sheridan: city1 - the same map, all
the time.

I think Quake 1 was my peak FPS game, though. I would love to find some
of the maps I played back in the day.

I loved the Quake 1 NiN soundtrack - I still have it somewhere...

I played Quake 2 quite a bit in the late 90s. I remember it being a fun game, but I also remember it being fairly bad if there was any significant lag.

Quake was fun. Since then though, I think the Unreal Tournament seris has been my favorite FPS games. I still played Unreal Tournament 3 up until a few yeaers ago, when I started noticing most of the servers I'd usually play on had pretty much all disappeared. Ironically, I think there are still some servers up for the original Unreal Tournament..

Since then, I've found a free open-source FPS called Xonotic - It's fairly similar in style to Unreal Tournament, and it's available for Windows, Linux, and Mac.

Me and Big Mel had cable modem or something highspeed at the time, Ichora had 64K DSL and the other guy was some amazing HPB.

I remember using Gamespy to find the fastest servers.

I really don't remember much about it. It was a long, long time ago.

I liked the Quake 1 TW CTF maps. Didn't like Q2 as much, too many maps weren't symetrical so one team often had an advantage.

I liked the CD soundtrack for MechWarrior 2 also. My favorite song from that is Pyre Light.

I only learned this just this week, but the soundtrack from SimCity 3000
was at one time available on CD. I wish I had known that back then. ;)

That's cool.
Although I played the first 2 SimCity games a lot, I didn't play the later SimCity games much at all. I'm not sure why.

same here, but the last simcity that came out I ended up getting under macos because for some reason it was free at the time. and it was pretty good.

I always though it would be pretty cool to have a doorgame that is pretty much like simcity or simcity 2000, might even be one out there and I just havent seen it yet.. my faves were simcity 2000, red alert 2, and roller coaster tycoon..

I played 2000 because it would work well on my 386DX40. I didn't pick up
3000 until I had a machine that it could run on (it required Windows). I
wanted to pick up 4 but its system requirements at the time were well above
whatever I had.

3000 is an upgrade to 2000. Gameplay is a little more complicated, but
there are some things that are a little easier than in 2000.
