The Quakes, the Unreals, the original war shooters. These were the trailblazers of the pre-millennium, the cool kids of the '90s - pioneering FPS games that caused a teenage exodus from the streets as individuals retreated into the darkest corners of their homes.
No slither of screen glare could disrupt their sightlines of enemy players running around those corrugated corridors, asteroid surfaces, and sprawling battlefields that are now burned into the backs of their skulls. What happened to the great online shooters of yesteryear? You may have heard tell that Quake III Arena was working a zero-hours job scraping asbestos off pipes, and that the original Doom has been embroiled in a toxic three-way relationship with a pair of succubae, but our investigations show these rumours to be false.
The reality is that these shooters are alive and fragging; you just need to know where to look for them, and how to get them to play nice with modern machines. We're here to show you the way.
