Quake 3 Arena Online
I don’t know why, but I am more attracted to older games than newer ones. It could be because they don’t require as much hardware as the newer ones, or because they are more fun to play. But I do know that some of them are better in every way than the newer ones. I always try to find older games that work on either Snow Leopard through Power PC emulation with Rosetta, or intel patches and universal binary updates so you can play them on you new mac, right now. Most of the game posts will be about older games working on newer systems, so be prepared for the nostalgia. The first game that I will be talking about is Quake III and Team Arena for intel macs.
Quake has been a great gaming series, hosting conventions every year, and still holding a spot on the best games ever made. But did you know that you can get Quake 3 and Team Arena on your intel mac? Neither did I, until I did a little digging. Power PC users have had this longer than intel users, but there is a site called ioquake that made an intel version of Quake III and Team Arena. All you need is the .pak files and you’re good to go.
Installing the game couldn’t be any easier. Just drag the ioquake3 folder to your applications folder. The Quake III .pak files go in the baseq3 folder and the Team Arena .pak files go in the missionpack folder.
So dust of your Quake III disc, get those .pak files, and relive Quake III and Team Arena on your intel mac!
