The goal of this project is to archive all versions of all Quake II bots.
Quake II is a computer game released by id Software in late 1997. The source code that controls the game was released shortly after.
Bots represent a historical breakthrough in computer game artificial intelligence (e.g. opponents that act like human players) and are also a lot of fun to play (e.g. a multiplayer game that can be enjoyed as a single player game).
This project seeks to (1) locate, (2) archive, and (3) host all versions of all Quake 2 bots in their original distributed form.
If you have backups of old Quake 2 bots, you can help.
