Hi everyone



Thought I would add to the hysteria...




Taken from THE EVENING STANDARD - Wednesday 15 May 1996



"The New Computer Game That Is Going To Take Britain By Storm"



bla bla bla




"To avoid such problems, the software team is planning


to release Quake on the Internet at some time -


yet to be confirmed - over the next week."




..I can't take much more of this...aaarrrrggghhhhh!



I reckon midnight on Saturday 18 May (00:00 am).


After the team have had a few beers to celebrate.


Any takers ?



Hear's hoping !
