Well, here's what I got when I fingered help this afternoon...
Some useful info regarding both Quake and Hell on Earth.

Status of DOOM ][---Updated: Fri, Sep 2 5:18pm
Let's get some things straight here.
1) If you have DOOM ][ right now you are a pirate.
2) There is no way to justify having a copy of this.
I have been asked to point out that not everyone here owns
a Ferrari and those who do still do not own houses. This means
that we are NOT all totally rolling in money. Therefore you
cannot say that having DOOM ][ will not hurt us. The profits from
DOOM funded DOOM ][ and the profits we make from DOOM ][ will do to
make QUAKE. If you like id games and you want to see more of them
don't pirate.

Status of QUAKE---Updated: Thu, Sep 1st 11:41am
This will not be out until sometime next summer.
John now has a simple (slow) engine running. It uses converted
DOOM maps and runs them with flats for textures. It looks REALLY
cool.
Ok, imagine this. You have a health thing and you don't need it.
You meet someone in the game who has a nice weapon but is really
low on health. You guys decide to exchange items. You don't really
trust this guy so you bring along a friend and tell him to hide out
somewhere with a bead on the other guy's head. You meet somewhere
in the middle of a field and face off. You drop your health, he drops
his weapon and you both strafe over the object of your desire. You
start to back away (not turning your back on him) and suddenly decide
you're going to whack this guy before he gets a chance to use that
health. You move towards him and draw back with your hammer. He notices
this and starts to duck, but it's too late. You smash him in the head
and watch him fly down to the ground, landing on his side. You smash
his still body a few more times and cause him to explode! Now you and
your friend pick up all of the items your dead friend left on the
ground. As you are walking off you pick up his severed head and put
it in a bag. That will come in useful later... when you need something
to sacrifice to a demon.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know about you, but I sure as hell can't wait to see this...
