> I'm guessing he meant Quake 2. He mentions x86 and [DEC] Alpha. Did a Q3 port to the Alpha even exist?
I can't seem to find any evidence of one, so I am thinking it must be Q2, which was ported to Linux and NT Alpha. Jeez, just seeing that gave me a pang of nostalgia; I never got to work on an Alpha machine (spent plenty of time on SPARC though) but I always wanted to. I remember people being really excited about Alpha, thinking it was The Future™.
That was back in the days where it was hard to imagine that in 20 years the vast majority of computers would be either running on 8086 or Acorn descendants...
>> The main FP work I did on that thing on the alpha improved the framerate by about 50% on alpha - FP was _that_ critical for it.
