Netscape users may experience a problem when they try to view a larger version of the thumbnail, I'm aware of it and will hopefully have it fixed soon (it works fine with Internet Explorer). Enjoy!

New Classic Quake Mod In The Works - Thu 02-11-1999 17:43
-- - - - --- - -- - --- - --- -- - -- - -- - - --
Here's the unedited press release from Pels Interactive:

I'm proud to announce that pels interactive is working on a classic mod for Quake, it's called QTS. In QTS we have taken all the cool sounds from the qtest, this is all the pain, death and land sounds. You will also be able to run around ca. 38 % faster then before, this will make the gameplay much faster and more challenging and really hard to hit your opponents. You will also be able to jump really high, this is so funny and the feeling is awesome, with the high jump you'll be able to reach places you've never been before, lava-jump will also be an option. There will be 4 new dm levels, all made for the qts jump and running system.

I guess this just goes to show you that there's still life left to Classic Quake afterall :)
