The original TeamFortress was written as an add-on 'mod' for Quake and released as freeware on 24 August 1996. The first release for QuakeWorld (v2.0) came on 22 December 1996. It was sufficiently successful that Walker, Cook and Caughley formed 'TeamFortress Software' to develop Team Fortress 2 as a commercial mod for Quake II. Instead, TeamFortress Software was bought by Valve, the work they had done on TF2 was polished and released as Team Fortress Classic (aka TFC & TFv1.5) for the Game Half-Life (which is based off a heavily modified Quake engine). Work on a more ambitious follow up, again titled TeamFortress 2, continued but has never been released.
