Quake III Arena was released in 1999. It was open-sourced in 2005.

(from the source release you can see benreesman remembered right: it was lcc)

Id Tech 3 was great, gave us a lot of forks.

  • Yeah, my favorite Q3 engine game was Jedi Outcast (the engine must have been licensed, since the game was released before 2005, when it was open sourced)

    • My childhood game from ioquake3 was Tremulous and a bit of Urban Terror, around the age of 14. Side-note: before that it was Armagetron Advanced, but that has nothing to do with Q3.
