Id Software still only have two games on the App Store – Doom Classic and Rage HD. Each got rid of the story element, to focus entirely on transforming the first person genre – and each proved to be massively popular. At the time, Windows was the last word in gaming and the platform was rife with multiplayer gamers, something consoles had yet to properly implement.īoth Quake III and Unreal Tournament were released within days of each other, and both featured the same breed of deathmatch-driven multiplayer action. Quake III Arena was originally released for PC, Mac and Linux before making its way onto the consoles of the era, namely the Dreamcast, PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360.
It's taken quite some time, but thanks to Beben III ($0.99) from developer Ronny Stiftel, Quake III Arena and it's open source equivalent playable on iOS.
The result was an addictive, repetitive and brutal deathmatch experience that continues to be played to this day in various forms.
