Oh my god, I was so addicted to Q3 when it first came out. It took me years to get over that one but now I may have to load up the railgun once again.

quakelive.com calls itself a beta programme signup page. You enter your e-mail address, and they thank you for signing up, but that there's no guarantee you'll be accepted onto the trial.
