Quake3 Beta Shots

61

While thumb_061900_beta_1.jpg (2896 bytes) pulling apart a couple of machines over the weekend hoping to run some more benchmarks I cam across a bunch of old screenshots of the early Quake3 betas. Hey cool! I'm gonna index all the shots tonight and give you guys a few more details on what maps become what, but seeing as that John Carmack was kind enough to already give me permission to post them here you go (just click next image). There are 33 screenshots there, the shots are dated February of 1999 although I'm not 100% sure that is the actual date. Feel free to try and identify what levels became what. A couple of them got axed completely though. I'll get that thumbnailed index with labels done tonight. Many thanks to John Carmack for permission to post these. If those arent enough, here are a few more shots for ya. 8:30pm update: I dug up this level index page that Zoid put together a while ago for quick comparisons.
