This is the shareware version of Quake, not the full version. It only contains the first act. The fact that these sellers are selling a cd that you can download for free is absurd.

I was bored a while back, so I decided to dust this game off (it was a lot of dust) and play it again.
I must say, even though the graphics were quite a bit dated, they never detracted from my enjoyment of the game. I've played quite a few FPS games, and many modern ones still cannot hold a candle to this game. It was good for its time, and is still good today.
It's simple, fast-paced, and every bit the game it was in '96.
Do note though, you'll need to make sure you understand how to run older games, as it does not natively run in Vista or XP (I could be wrong about XP). It's fairly easy to get it to work on them, but do some research first so you're not lost when you get the game.

Back on the 90s this game rocked! nothing came close to it and then the GL drivers came out WOW! I was amazed of the speed and graphics. Online multiplayer is simply the best, fun, funny and competitive. Quake 2 and 3 were very good also! Quake 4 to me was a waste money, only id software knew how do the quake sequels. Other fun multiplayer FPS games are Unreal and Soldier of Fortune 2. These are older games too so crank up the settings to the max and enjoy!

This is Quake, a true classic!
I've followed PC game history since the beginning. If you have any interest in shooters and have never played this one, you need to collect it. It is very old and still very fun. Read more

GL makes the difference
This game was so much fun- it had multiplayer that really worked back in the day. meaning it was possible to lose to all the dorks who are compulsive players, as much as you want. Read more

great classic
Revolutionary for its time, Quake produces all of its visuals in three dimensions. Online multiplayer is still supported, and is great fun to suppliment the single player game. Read more

Quake
I got interested in Quake when I was around 25 years old. My apt. mate introduced me to the Doom series of games. I eventually bought Quake and liked it a lot. Read more
