not sure if anyone would consider this even a "warm" deal, but considering if you ever want to go back and play any of these games, individually theyre like 5-20 bucks each.

Does anyone still play any quakes in multiplayer?

I wouldnt mind re-playing a few doom games, have only a few memories of wolfenstein from when i was younger, and ive never played quake before.

50 bucks is a lot to spend for a bunch of old games though. what do you guys think?

Man, that list of games brings back some memories. I think it's a pretty decent deal considering Rage costs $30 and Doom 3 with the RoE expansion pack costs $30 together.

These days, Quake Live can be played for free and is the platform used in Quakecon and other pro competitions. It's basically a browser-based Quake III Arena. I played Quake III Arena pretty consistently from when it came out up until the middle of last year when I stopped playing and switched to playing Black Ops/MW3 on the 360.

Warm deal confirmed.

doom3 engine games (doom 3 [hurr], quake 4, quake wars enemy territory, etc) have terrible multiplayer due to 30fps server physics sync. Horrible architecture.

I guess if you want all those, I think i played most of them already.

I would just like to have some of them in my steam library, as im trying to get all my games in there, but to be honesy i probably would never touch any of them.

All the Dooms i would like to have in case i want to re-play them, so hopefully there will be another sale just for those. Already own Rage as well.

Quakeworld Painkeep is alive and well at http://weenieville.net/pkclassic.htm although you are best served by using the \id1\pak1.pak you get from Steam to make your nQuake install registered Quake (for multiplayer anyway). There are better alternatives for single player Quake clients.
