The Unholy TempleŸ ver .9‘ or TEMPLE OF PAIN is a Multiplayer level. The level is relatively medium sized and is designed to look like a temple. It was also intended to be hard to hide from other players, also known as camping, which means most areas have high visibility.
The level name is due to a trick utilizing the manner in which Quake displays various characters. A character which appears to be a square are placed on both sides of "The Unholy Temple", these characters are seen as spaces in the game. The "Ÿ" and "‘" characters are placed around the "ver. 9" in order to put glowing brackets around the version number.
A message appears as the player moves forward that states "Welcome to Ôèå Ôåíðìå......". The words "Ôèå Ôåíðìå" are translated by Quake to read "The Temple" in brown letters.
This level is notable for being one of the earliest levels to use colored text.
