I don't know. One of the great things id software did with Quake 3 was to make it playable cross-platform, not just on computers (Mac/Windows/Linux) but also on the console (Dreamcast).

I'm a PC gamer too, but I generally prefer consoles for everything except the first person shooter (Q3) - though I'm now getting into Tropico and want to play a few other "building" type games such as Civilization III.

I'll check on the compatibility thing. That would certainly be awesome <b>and</b> possible, but I have no idea whether or not they've implemented such functionality. Unfortunately, I can no longer look up game stuff at work (stupid filter argh) so the earliest I'll know is later tonight, and that's assuming I remember to check.
