The ever first version, of what now is Excessive Plus, started in the late 2001. It was called "NOT Mr. Pants Excessive", maybe you actually played it because it used "Excessive" as the gamename but was never released.

The biggest thanks goes of course to Dan 'Mr. Pants' Schoenblum who created the original Excessive Overkill modification for Quake III Arena. It was the inspiration for this modification.
