Quake Arena Arcade

Quake III Arena originally came out in 1999, which immediately makes me feel old just thinking about.

For example, should I use the rocket launcher, shotgun, or can I get away with a gauntlet kill? These were the important questions of my (not too distant) youth, whose answers I would like to believe helped me become a better human being.
