The artificial player for Quake
The Omicron Bot is named after the (ex-)Clan, and the Clan is named after the 15th letter of the Greek alphabet. The Omicron Bot is an artificial player for the computer game Quake and is the result of a project initially started to educate the Omicron Clan members in the way(s) of the deathmatch warrior. The project has grown all out of proportion and the bot was released worldwide on December 4th, 1997 with over 10000 downloads within the first 24 hours (not bad for the time). In the "best quake add-on" contest held at QWF it was voted on a shared 10th place, together with the Reaper bot. That's pretty good for a bot out for nearly a month, to gain that high a position.
To cut the story... the Omicron Bot (*FINAL*) version 1.02 is out! Below you'll find some download links and some stuff to read for the die-hard Omicron bot fans.
