I was utterly besotted by the immense feeling of satisfaction felt when killing another player that was in a totally different part of the world. Of course, the project is only in a beta state as of now, so who knows if will expand support to reward players for wins and other statistics.My first ever online gaming experience was round my cousin’s house in Scotland playing Quake II on this 3DFX Voodoo 2-based rig. Unlike NanoQuakeJS, which is entirely free to play, NanoQuake requires that players pay a nominal entry fee to enter the tournament. All they have to do is, well, play.Ī similar project called NanoQuake was released earlier this year that utilizes Quake 2. This Quake project instead adapts an old video game to new standards, asking nothing of the player aside from their participation. However, a good amount of those titles require an initial investment and are very simple games that require little to no involvement, like CryptoKitties. Esports is another popular avenue for blockchain technology. Those sorts of games exist all over, especially on the Ethereum blockchain. What’s most interesting about this project isn’t so much that it’s a game that rewards you in cryptocurrency. That way, wallet holders aren’t competing for space on a main blockchain, but rather verifying transactions on their own personal blockchain. It works thanks to something called a Block Lattice, which essentially gives every NANO account its own blockchain in which to track transactions. The project has been around since 2015 and currently sits at the #44 cryptocurrency by market cap, according to. If you’re lucky, you may even get first place.Īs for NANO, the cryptocurrency is meant to be a fast, feeless, and scalable asset. From there, a new round automatically starts. Matches are in the free-for-all game mode and play until a player gets to 25 frags (kills). However, it’s essential that players change their in-game name upon log-in to receive any rewards.

There are a couple of different maps to play, each with their own weapons and layouts to master. That engine was then ported into Javascript for play on a web browser, called QuakeJS. I can vouch for this, having two transactions pending in my wallet – one for each match I played.Īccording to the registration form, this version of Quake is a port of ioquake3, a free engine based on Quake 3. This version of Quake 3 rewards players in NANO based on how much damage they do per game.

There aren’t any menus to jump through or confusing setups – it’s just simple, classic gaming: you, a gun, and something to shoot at. The application quickly transfers you into a match of Quake 3 with other players. Registering and playing is free: /I7Uh1e5IrD Play Quake in web browser and get $nano ?
