ZeusBots were where it was at, for me.

First few computers were too slow to run Quake effectively, but then I had a Duron 900 (they ran slow AND hot!), bought a 'PC Powerplay' magazine that came with a CD full of quake mods, and a map with 20-40 of ZeusBots worked just fine!

Oh man, PCPowerPlay! I had my q3 mod written up in there in 2000 [1].

Holy shit it's Soldat in the quake engine. Dude that's cool. Totally giving that a bash with friends if we ever LAN again.

Thank you for the correction, sorry, it has been forever. The link is fantastic, thank you for that as well.
