| RTCW AND QUAKE 3 WIDESCREEN A post on Shacknews has instructions on how to play Quake III engine games such as Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Medal of Honor, and of course Quake III Arena in 16x9 widescreen mode. The instructions seem only applicable to NVIDIA owners using WinXP/2K, and require a
willingness to muck around with your driver INF file, but they've even posted a ready made
