I really do not know which is better, because I have not had much time to
play either, but the point I was trying to make is that from all the
Quake  info I have seen and heard, John Romero lied in the interview.
Half of what he said would not be there is, and what he promised they say
will not be there. It looks bad, but I think I like Apogee's method much
better. They did not hype Duke 3D much at all, and did not start talking
about it and advertising it 3 years before the first beta was released.
