I still play classic quake, though. I did buy CounterStrike: Source to
complete my collection of Valve games, but I have never played it. And
the less it's said about Global Ops or the new thing that came later,
the better.

FYI. Quake 1 is 28 yrs. old according to https://x.com/daytechhistory/status/1804484489202000034. :O

The fact that Quake is 28 is less shocking to me. I think that's
because a) it's not really a game people play frequently, and b) it
LOOKS old. The three years between "Quake" and "Half Life" allowed a
lot of changes that resulted in one game still looking like something
I might play, and the other looking potato. Original "Quake" had a 256
color palette... and so many of those colors were brown. It wasn't a
good looking game in 1996, and it hasn't aged well at all.

I mean, yeah, original "Counterstrike" looks really rough too... but
it's got nothin' on how poorly "Quake" compares.

Fair, but the original Half Life also had a lot of limitations fixed in
the Steam release.
