     Description:         Deathmatch FPS based on the Quake 1 engine

This is not very accurate. Wikipedia says: "Nexuiz uses DarkPlaces, a vastly
improved Quake engine."

The Nexuiz info page says: "Nexuiz is based on the Darkplaces engine. The
darkplaces engine is an advanced Quake1 engine developed mainly by Forest
'LordHavoc' Hale, who has been working with the Quake1 engine for many years. A
few of Darkplaces main features are Quake3bsp support, realtime lighting and
shadowing, new particle effects, advanced menu system, and Md3/Md2 model
support."

Anyone who never heard about this game and read the portage description for it
will think it does not have good graphic effects and Nexuiz is obsolete. I
suggest this new description: "Deathmatch FPS based on DarkPlaces, a vastly
improved Quake engine."
