It's good to hear from you, and I'm honored that you took a moment from your Joomla! 1.5 bender to drop in. ;-) I'm not a big fan of violence -- it's one of the reasons I'm not a fan of pro football and hockey -- but then here I am enjoying these bloodthirsty games. (Although I rarely play video games now.) I don't know how I'm going to cope personally with letting my daughter grapple with the big, messy, unfair and cruel world out there. I just hope she'll learn to appreciate the good parts as I *try* to do. Hi, Amy! It’s good to hear from you, and I’m honored that you took a moment from your Joomla! 1.5 bender to drop in. ;-)

Somehow, it made it into my house and was installed on our computers when my kids were young - very young - too young for the kind of violence depicted in those games. It was then that I realized I had no control of my son's thinking and it scared me completely to realize that his brain worked independently of mine! Now, 17, custodian of my unconditional love, his independence makes me quake in my boots. And, I don't wear boots, Scott. I'll share this with my son, Sam. He'll enjoy it. Hope you are well!

Single and multiplayer support, but not especially designed for multiplayer. Not to mention custom multiplayer-only levels for Quake 2 and Quake 3. Shame I currently have no place to host them...though some screen shots can be found on the net, and one of the Q2 and a couple of the Q3 maps seem to turn up occasionally on servers.
