Quake II Mission Pack: The Reckoning Shipped is the story today, and it fits right into the fast-moving PC gaming pileup of June 1998. Activision announced in a press release that: Just when you thought you had saved the planet from alien domination and conquered the Strogg stronghold in the blockbuster computer game QUAKE II, id Software unleashes a new round of killing mayhem with the launch of the QUAKE II Mission Pack: The Reckoning. Developed by Xatrix Entertainment and distributed by Activision, Inc., QUAKE II Mission Pack: The Reckoning will soon hit retail store shelves across the country with a suggested retail price of $29.95. QUAKE II Mission Pack: The Reckoning will feature 18 new death-defying levels, 7 deathmatch levels, new enemies and new weapons. For players keeping one eye on patches, demos, hardware, and whatever the big studios are cooking up next, this is exactly the kind of update that can disappear in a day and matter a month later.
