I've finished a VERY early version of Quake for Linux (xquake) that

supports 3rd person view (like Tomb Raider, Crusin' USA, etal.) You can

actually position the camera behind the player and see him as he runs

around capping people.

Anyway, if anyone's interested in trying it, you can download it from

ftp://128.111.78.175/pub/quake/
