Sweet. I hope they start running internet servers for Quake through Steam like GameSpy does. Hopefully I can hit up some Team Fortress in the original 2Fort.

70 is a pretty good deal

(edit: errr... where's quake 4?)

I don't really know a lot about Steam. I have the original Quake buried somewhere in my room, would I be able to install that and play that online on Steam or would I have to buy their game through direct download?

Thats a good deal for all of those games. I always wanted to play Hexen II. I remember the demo awhile back but I never did get the game.

They may have some sort of CD/CD key activation like they do with HL2, but I doubt it.

I just checked steampowered.com, they won't do it.

They won't allow people who already have Q3 to play on Steam servers? BAH!

I'm really tempted to get the Super pack. I already own most of the games, but a lot of them are on 3.5 floppies.

They passed out free coupons for Quake 1 at quakecon for this. wooo Pretty cool announcement.

They probably didn't add it because it's too recent and the boxed game still sells well at stores.

The only game that's really missing from that collection is the Hexen II mission pack, and maybe Heretic II.

[edit]Also, an official PC port of Doom 64 would be awesome.

Wow, I really want to get that pack of games. A lot of neat things I want to play again, especially Quake 3 team arena.

Now, is Steam actually going to host any servers for these games? I'd really like to get back into some TeamFortress for Quake, but not if I have to deal with GameSpy or anything of that nature.

I realized that I'd save myself money by just getting the Quake 3 Arena pack and Commander Keen. Anyone else interested in Q3A?

I've been pondering it, but it might mess up my hard earned CSS skills.

I ended up getting the id games pack. If anyone wants to play something I'm up for a game.
