Game Description
Quake III Arena explodes onto the Dreamcast with the kind of twitch-based, reflex-driven combat that defined a generation of competitive shooters. Engineered by id Software for pure multiplayer mayhem, this arena battler drops players into sci-fi war zones where every second counts, and every missed shot could mean the difference between fragging and being fragged.
Featuring blazing-fast action and meticulously balanced weapons, Quake III delivers razor-edge firefights across gothic tech-themed arenas that test aim, movement, and map control. The Dreamcast release captures the spirit of its PC counterpart with fluid framerates, excellent level fidelity, and support for the Dreamcast Mouse & Keyboard (sold separately), giving players the edge with precision control.
Whether battling bots in solo matches or practicing advanced movement techniques like rocket-jumping and strafe-circling, Quake III Arena is a hardcore shooter fan’s dream. It's a landmark title that brought high-level deathmatch to console in style—and remains a standout release for collectors who crave fast, no-frills FPS action.

Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Quake III Arena marked a turning point in arena shooter design—eliminating campaign storytelling in favor of pure competitive focus. Its Dreamcast adaptation stunned players with how faithfully it translated the fast-paced PC action, and it became one of the earliest examples of true first-person shooter parity on console.
Though known primarily for its multiplayer heritage, Quake III's bot AI and tight solo training modes gave Dreamcast players hours of replayability. The optional mouse and keyboard support was a rare and forward-thinking feature, making this a must-own for FPS purists and hardware collectors alike.
