#1: I don\'t know why it shouldn\'t be, the pace at which news are being posted here is not too hectic. :) Also, who knows, maybe this game is worth giving a try. (91% / 9849KB downloaded)

Did you read the news story? It\'s in the news because the devchat is ORGANISED by QuakeNet not just ON QuakeNet. Yes, that\'s right - I have spent the last 3 months on the phone to various developers and publishers trying to organise devchats on QuakeNet as something we Opers can give back to you users. Nicely just happen to be the first - and they\'re nice blokes too.

Ive been playing all last night, its really addictive. The instructions do look a little daunting at first, but it only takes 5 minutes to work it all out, and its well worth it. If you have any problems you can also pop into the channel on QuakeNet.
