Magazines, advertisements, updates

I added several magazine scans and also some transcriptions. Those pages are wiki-pages, go ahead and transcribe more (you might want to add a note on the page when you start, so no-one else does the same). I love reading those old writings about Quake. If you know of specific issues please share, if you know where to find scans, even better.

In one magazine I found yet another advertisement, a two page version of the "granny pie" one. I positioned the two pages as good as possible, sadly there is a gap. See http://www.quaddicted.com/quake/advertisement

SSL seems to be working fine or maybe no-one apart from me is using it.


If negke stopped being so lazy there would be two new old map releases for you to play (the vie888 ones).

good stuff, thanks for posting! (ssl seems to work fine for me btw.)

I wish I could find the Oct '95 PC Gamer US, which was the first place I heard of Quake. Can't remember if there was much interesting in the article.. although IIRC it had a screenshot with the dragon, and a suggestion that Quake might be out by Christmas '95! The cover had a thor hammer:
