Quake(The original)....

Pottering about with some old files I came across my old Quake install; By the looks of the files it was moved straight from my old original PC in use in the late 90's. Needless to say my nostalgia was sated with a still working Quake game. Even on Window 10. Great until I had to get used to the non standard keyboard keys.... And no auto mouse look.....Of it's day for sure.

The folder is a modded mess of files. So many memories. Including LAN matches at my then place of employment.

Here's some of the files....

Folders for days.

GL Quake

WinQuake

Quake World

Quake Ultimate

Quakebot v1.1   Even the readme file for this is 'nostalgic':

    QuakeBot v1.1

    -------------

    This mod is an improvement over the original ReaperBot v0.81 . The impulses

    and basic command set is similar to the ReaperBot's. Unzip this archive with 

    the pkzip switch "-d" (restore directory structure) into C:\QUAKE\QBOT and

    run it with the following command line:

    quake.exe -winmem 16 -listen 16 -game qbot

    Added Features

    --------------

    . Reaperbot silent jumping bug fixed.

    . Reaperbot thud sound when landing fixed.

    . Reaperbot dissappearing weapon bug fixed.

    . Reaperbot names and skill designation convention changed.

    . Reaperbot spawned in teamplay mode have random team colors.

    . Reaperbot spawned in deathmatch have different shirt and pants colors.

    . Realistic bot-vision implemented.

    . Realistic bot-player-physics implemented.

    . True observer mode implemented.

    . Scores appear on ranking screen.

    . Deathmatch 3 mode supported.

    . Useless messages removed.

    . *Some* bugs that cause crashes fixed.

    . *Some* modified gfx and sounds.

    Note: The ranking screen works in Teamplay mode, but its kinda messed up.

    Unlike version 1.0, this version has random skill setting disabled because

    I found that advanced players prefered to play skill 3 bots most of the time

    anyway and skill randomization just made it more tedious to spawn a skill 3.

    Consider yourself warned :o)

The ID1 'main' folder had a number of my old in game made demo files. Only one of which worked straight away on loading. Nothing fantastic gameplay wise. Recorded for fun and just because back then; But given I don't have video of my old gameplay from that time(I had no option to record it) it was interesting to see again.
