If you have to ask, you'll never know...

What can I say? It's Quake 3. It had to pick up all the baggage accumulated by its two superb and well-loved predecessors, and that with a pure and undiluted focus on the intense fast-action multiplayer aspects for which Id had become known. I don't know anyone who thinks that Quake 3 failed to live up to or perhaps exceed the tremendous hype and expectations preceding its release. There are probably people who think that, but I don't know them. If you haven't played Q3A and you have even a modicum of interest in multiplayer entertainment, stop reading and make this purchase. As others have pointed out, the current price ($14.99 regular price at the present time) is not reasonable for a digital copy of a decades-old classic. No biggie, wait for a sale. Though either way, if you play it as much as some of us have, you'll be paying pennies per hour of entertainment.

Simply The Best

Having played Q3A on and off for some 20+yrs I can say that the game is both simplistic but also incredibly hard to master and Thats from someone that used to play at top tier levels (32nd core - CTF clanbase gold cup Div 1 Winners) Gameplay wise Its perfect , Smooth to Play at 125 fps (for a slight edge) intuitive weapon Switching , Customisable FOV , FPS limit , BrightBits .. Ive played so many Games over the years (since Pong) but nothing comes close to the rush u get from this game especially at competition level .. ID Softwares Multiplayer Master Piece

Great game, on a sale

Although the game does not come with precompiled binaries for Linux, you can download ioQuake3 binaries through the package repository that you use. Pretty fun arena shooter!

Far better than the steam version.

Runs perfect, plays just like it did back in the day. Frantic arena shooter action at it's finest. You owe it to yourself to own this one. Vastly superior to the steam version because it will actually run on Windows 7,8, 8.1, and probably 10. You can also run it in any resolution with a fix I found on the GOG forums here: https://www.gog.com/forum/quake_series/quake_3_arena_hd_resolution_texture_pack_small_fixes_links_inside Buy it if you love fast paced, old school arena shooter action. A little pricey at $20 dollars maybe, but remember you can copy this game as you please & give it to all your friends if you'd like.

Best competitive online FPS

Amazingly fast, immersive atmosphere, challenging online experience. Still played today, I loved it since I first bought it in 1999. The maps are awesome, I love the gothic atmosphere I can feel in some of those. It is a bit expensive (14.99€ now).
