Announcing a new scenario for Quake:



Marathon to Quake - Across Dimensions


http://www.wolfenet.com/~optica/dimentia.html



As the character from Quake, you will get the chance to explore ancient


S'pht Empires, discover untold truths about the Origins of Evil, and save


humankind from a fate more terrible than Hell... a Slaver Race known


throughout time as the Pfhor.



In a plotline that promises to compliment both Universes, new


opportunities arrise. Not only will the player be able to choose between


the Quake and Marathon arsenal, also Alien weapons will be at the ready;


including the Pfhor Staff and Alien "Shotgun".



The scenario will be ready for the PC version of Quake soon. We will also


have the scenario ready for the Macintosh version of Quake as soon as it


becomes available.



Currently we have screenshots of the Pfhor and Trooper in action. Expect


other aliens to follow, like Compilers and Enforcers. But it won't stop


there....



See you on the other side!
