Quake 3 Arena currently supports a solid number of active servers, making it possible to enjoy the game after its winter sale. It’s a good time to revisit it for a nostalgic experience with some modern updates.

Test the demo initially. I saved the demo file, but encountered significant issues when trying to run it.

For a game that's 17 years old now (1999-12-02 launch), it's still a decent game but you might have to play around using Compatibility Mode "WinXP SP2" in Win7 and newer due to MANY changes since then. There is also a Open source clone called OpenArena that's free and will run Q3 maps and .pak files as "mods" (eg: STVoy: Elite Force & ST: Elite Force 2 can be run this way, just a bit of a pain though), if you don't mind playing around a bit to get it or Q3 running.
