      I wish I could go back and play it again for the first time. It was one of the first games I played after getting my first voodoo card. It felt like I was experiencing the bleeding edge of tech.

      Thinking about it, i can’t remeber a time in the last decade that a game made me feel that way. Crysis was probably the last time.

      More on topic, yes everyone should own it. I think I bought a steam or GOG bundle and got all the doom and quake games for like $5-$10 or something like that.

        I remember getting a Voodoo card specifically to play Quake II as one of the first hardware 3D games. Isn’t it the one where at the beginning you get out of a crashed rocket or something like that?

        Thinking about it, i can’t remeber a time in the last decade that a game made me feel that way. Crysis was probably the last time.

        Some games that did it for me recently:

        • Cyberpunk with its new RT Overdrive features.
        • Portal RTX

        Messing around with VR gave me that sense of wonder again for a while. If you ever get the chance to play around with it i recommend it

      II is epic. It’s a total must if that’s your thing. It literally set the standard. Ok, well Q1 did, but II, what a treat.

      I don’t like it nearly as much as the first but it’s definitely worth a pickup. Still better than the vast majority of boomer shooters that have come out in the past 8 or so years. The remaster is well done.

    I wonder if mods still work with the remastered version.

    Oh the days of deathmatch on Lithium II servers.
