Out of the Blue

Today is a pretty significant anniversary as far as we're concerned, as it is the anniversary of the full version of QUAKE, which started appearing in customer mailboxes 13 years ago today. It was in anticipation of this 3D first-person shooter from id Software that originally inspired the creation of the website that became Blue's News. Happy birthday QUAKE!
