One of the big daddies of boomer shooters - slightly disappointed a few folk on release because it wasn't an actual sequel to Quake, but still got top reviews and sold millions of early 3D accelerator cards like the Voodoo2. Eventually suffered some mild backlash for being grey and remembered as a bit dull.

Felt like a bit of an odd choice for Night Dive to remaster in their own modern engine, but this is almost certain to be my bargain of the year, considering I got it as a free upgrade to an existing Quake 2 purchase (with the original version still included if required). Everything's updated and polished while still looking, feeling, and sounding like the original, and I swear it's actually more of a blast than ever. I didn't enjoy it this much in 1997.

You also get the two mission packs, which I never played, but I'm several levels into The Reckoning and it's just as much fun. There's also a brand-new mission pack from the guys who made the acclaimed new levels for the original Quake, and I'm looking forward to giving that a shot. Finally, a proper port of Quake 64, which is apparently quite different from the original.

That's just a staggering amount of quality content, and I'd happily have paid the full price knowing how good it is. Recommended to anyone who enjoys old-school shooters - don't wait for a sale, get it now!
