(Link removed because it was no longer working - the filename was "thresh1.zip")
Here is a description of this demo from the site:
"The demo was recorded at 4 a.m. in April 1997. Thresh declined to play MikeJ on about 6 servers because Mikej's ping was slightly lower on each one and also refused to let any spectators watch. MikeJ finally gave up and told Thresh to pick any server he wanted. Thresh (as always) plays a smart match against a pretty good player (who has since gotten much better) to win the match. The final score isn't very indicative of how well the game was played by both players."
1. The client used is called FTE and it was downloaded from here:
(Warning it could trigger your antivirus)
triptohell.info/moodles/autoup/win64/
(I did not get any viruses and everything worked after I downloaded
fteglqw.exe or fteglqw64.exe)
2. The effects used are from this forum post:

3. The HQ Textures and HUD elements are downloaded from here:
qrp.quakeone.com/downloads/
(just put the .pk3's in "Quake/id1"
4. The teleporter effect can be activated with this command in the console "r_telestyle 3"
The demo is super old, but I like seeing ThresH play and I wanted to experiment with a new client for oldschool demos.

I watched this live in the room. It was epic.
-
its wonderful to see how the technique used back in the day were so different than now but the pacing is still fast as ever
-
woah old school, thanks for posting these!
-
A bit surreal to watch this 25 years later.
-
Still the best death match game ever made.
-
Good old Quake. My favorite fps from the ninetees. Theres no other game with such a rough atmosphere, the sound effects, the theme, the weapons everything fits perfectly together. And the multiplayer was amazing as hell.

This channel is fucking great, man.

Awesome. Reminds me a times when our IT teacher in secondary school allowed us to do Quake tournament 25 years ago. It was fun :)
-
Completely off topic: Love the rocket mod that's used. Those particles and explosions look sexy af.
-
Watching the new generation of gamers commenting on how primitive these players' techniques are is like watching those barf colored skin tight suits wearing cyclists commenting on pictures of people riding on penny farthings.

Man, back in the days when people spoke in full sentences when saying "glhf"

Good ol Quake was the best. Especially CTF, Rocket Arena, and Hypnotic.

surprises me how some of the tactics thresh came up with on this map is still used in high tier duels from all of the new games. his positioning was really good for this being one of the first competitive FPS games. they must have played this so much when it came out. the same kind of positioning is pretty critical to keeping map control, and i can see it with the RA. but then i saw him convert map control once or twice by going up through the top area to RA. since he still had a clean red armor, and had just picked up mega health, he made the smartest decision to push from highground to avoid excess damage, and then just gets control again. i highly doubt many players were this methodical.

Is there anywhere that we can still play this map online? Like, does Quake live on steam have it?
-
Hi guys, may I ask where to install this game for a Mac?
