Quake

A short Flashback

This page is a cut-down version of my former Quake section that had been around here in the late 1990s. I thought I keep a few words of memory here, in order to pay tribute to all the fellow Quake players from the dawn of online gaming.

I am a veteran Quake player and on the scene since the zero hour of Quake in 1996. Right after finishing the single player mission of Quake, I started playing over the Internet with an 28k analog modem. Since those days I'm known by the name [Q]AGGRESSOR.

I've been asked a lot of times for what clan the '[Q]' stands for. The simple answer is, that it isn't a clansign at all. It just stands for 'Quake'. I carry this name in this particular unique design since my first online games in 1996 and I still use it today when playing online or at LAN parties.

Most of the time I had been a lone fighter but over the years I also joined two clans. So I had been a member of "7th Circle Of Hell (7COH)" and "For Fucks Sake (FFS)". Both clans are now out of existence and have sunken into oblivion long ago. But back those days we had been well respected Capture-The-Flag players. Both clans, by the way, were based in the UK.

Today, I still play Quake from time to time. But those occasions are very, very rare and you will rather find me in other online games. As I already mentioned, I still use the same name, so look out, maybe we'll meet some day :-)

To finish this short flashback, let me send out some greetings.

I greet all my former clan mates of 7COH and FFS as well as all the fellow Quake players that had been on the "ZEKI", "TOPSID" and "LOCANET" servers. Special greetings go to the veterans of clan TGC, we had great fun! And of course greetings to all the other Quake players out there that had (and sometimes still have) a helluva time with Quake.

Greets,
[Q]AGGRESSOR (aka TheBlackzone)
