Terminal Gibbage - Ten Year Anniversary is Approaching
Some of the folks who know my history with computers will know that I’m (almost ashamedly) responsible for starting the UK’s first Quake Clan. The Clan, Terminal Gibbage, originally consisted of myself and a couple of workmates (Anthrax, and Morph). It started off slow, until I was approached by an enthusiastic character named ‘Jester‘, we got talking about the iminent release of QuakeWorld, and both wanted to hit the scene running…
Jester convinced me that the Clan’s original, happy-go-lucky style to camaraderie would attract like minded people, who just wanted to meet up with fellow Quake/QuakeWorld players, and shoot-the-shit out of them… Online — of course.
I created a web site (TG Page), which unfortunately is no longer in existence, and does not appear in the Way Back Machine, but there is a ‘newer’ version there.
We hung out in IRC on #tg, and we participated in multiple Leagues, including the UKCL (United Kingdom Clan League), we had a skin in the QuakeWorld Skin Pack (called “terminal”).
Unfortunately, I can’t find a full roster, but the names that spring to mind are Grim, Ruiner, Onyx, Interphaz, Scanman, DocTee, Jester, Illusion, Nutz, Odyssey, Unzip, and Kami.Kaze.
And here’s Jester’s initial announcement that TG had opened its doors:
The UK based Quake clan Terminal Gibbage is now recruiting. We are prepared to give anyone a chance to prove there worth. Be warned we’re not just a clan who are just in it for the sake of being a clan. We are a group of serious Die-Hard Quake players and we are looking for gamers of the same nature.

If you were a member of TG, or have any images/demo material of the clan, I’d be interested in receiving it… I feel a re-union LAN party coming on
