Area 51

Three small space base maps with unusual but not necessarily bad new textures. OK.

Utterly amazing. Reminded me of Jedi Knight with its plain yet working texturing and high focus on exploration.

Definitely worth playing. The gameplay isn't anything special. The texturing is good.

A great set of maps. The end is rather meh compared to what precedes it. Might be something of a fetish, but it hits most of the right spots for me.

I agree, just played and beated it ! Nice map pack with a fresh theme (sci-fi base) :)

Also check out "EvilTown" by the same author !

A decent set of maps that progressively drops off in quality as it goes on - the first map is decently maze-like but simple enough that you shouldn't get stuck, the second map has the exit hidden behind a false wall (!) and the third map is just dumb.

Only OK. It's about what you'd expect in a super-tiny fan-made episode from 1997. There's no reason to play it in 2018.

(Reading what other have written ...) Wow, that is some astonishingly over-the-top praise! Are you guys all Anders Gustavsson's family members or something?

The new skin of the buttons could have a better indication, like color changing or something. The progress of the maps are good, the only thing to complain about is the part where you press a button to get the silver key, that open the door near it (the second map, I think). I didn't saw the button and had to backtrack a little.

Apart from that, the maps really felt like exploring, especially the second map where you need to swim through the foundations of the facility, it felt like an exploring game more than quake.

1997, really hits the mark.

There IS reason to play it in 2018.

Above average for sure.

I have a lot of fun with this one and the custom textures gives it a really refreshing look..

Good to know I'm not the only one playing this in 2019! I'm actually playing through all the maps with four or more stars and 3.3 or more user rating, chronologically. Looking forward to starting 1998 soon. :D

This one was OK.

A wonderfully immersive mini episode, due to a whole new custom texture set and theme. The Sci-Fi motif is really well done and there is a nice cohesion between all of the maps. Exploration is a key factor to get the best experience. My only niggle is that, in map 2, discovering a secret is required for progression. Fortunately, the misaligned texture where it is located is pretty obvious.
