Unreal Tournament, abbreviated UT, (sometimes referred to as UT99, UT Classic, UT1, or UT:GOTY to differentiate from Unreal Tournament 2003, Unreal Tournament 2004, and Unreal Tournament 3) is a popular first-person shooter video game.

To prove just how good the game was, and still is, I am part of a 5 year old clan which had formed in UT99's glory days. That clan is House of Fools, and even after UT3 stole the spotlight from the other first person shooters in the series, it still ROCKS
GOod old time FPS, released after Quake, not able to best it, but far from unpopular :)
