Quake's single-player campaign is organized into four individual episodes with seven to eight levels in each (including one secret level per episode, one of which is a "low gravity" level that challenges the player's abilities in a different way). If the player's character dies, they must restart at the beginning of that level. The game may be saved at any time in the PC versions and between levels in the console versions. Upon completing an episode, the player is returned to the hub "START" level, where another episode can be chosen. Each episode starts the player from scratch, without any previously collected items. Episode one (which formed the shareware or downloadable demo version of Quake) has the most traditional ideology of a boss in the last level. The ultimate objective at the end of each episode is to recover a magic rune. After all of the runes are collected, the floor of the hub level opens up to reveal an entrance to the "END" level which contains a final puzzle.

Before the release of the full game or the shareware version of Quake, id Software released QTest on February 24, 1996. It was described as a technology demo and was limited to three multiplayer maps. There was no single-player support and some of the gameplay and graphics were unfinished or different from their final versions. QTest gave gamers their first peek into the filesystem and modifiability of the Quake engine, and many entity mods (that placed monsters in the otherwise empty multiplayer maps) and custom player skins began appearing online before the full game was even released.[29]
A Flash-based version of the game by Michael Rennie runs Quake at full speed in any Flash-enabled web browser. Based on the shareware version of the game, it includes only the first episode and is available for free on the web.[60]
Nintendo Life gave the Switch version a rave review, saying it "wisely avoids tinkering with the magic formula that made the game so great in the first place, instead keeping the look and feel of the original intact whilst carefully adding all manner of modern bells and whistles in a feature-packed port that's an absolute dream to spend time with." They particularly praised the level designs, puzzle elements, atmospheric game world, and numerous configuration options for the graphical upgrades and multiplayer sessions. They argued that the smooth performance in both docked and handheld mode and ability to play the game as portable makes the Switch version the definitive version of the game.[111]
Originally released for MS-DOS, patches were later released for the MS-DOS version to take advantage of compatible 3D accelerator at the time.Official source port for Microsoft Windows includes WinQuake which utilise DirectX 3.0 and visually identical to software-rendered MS-DOS version. And GLQuake, a fully 3D accelerated version of the game using OpenGL.
Although the full PC version of Quake can be purchased for a small price (e.g. Steam), this post will show how to use the latest Quake demo (Shareware 1.06) and turn it into the full version using the original CD. Overall, this method will make the game use the original music from the CD and add support for Windows and OpenGL.
To be able to enjoy the full version of Quake, you will need access to your own Quake CD. The Quake CD files will not be supplied, but a method to install them on your hard drive is shown at the end of this post.
As is, the original Quake CD or the original Quake demo (shareware) will not install on Windows 10. To overcome this, the latest Quake Shareware 1.06 (installer v0.99a), which is distributed with a Windows installer, can be used instead. To turn the demo into the full version, files from the original Quake CD will be required (see later).
The shareware version of Quake will give access to the first episode of the game (Dimension of the Doomed). The full version of Quake has a total of four episodes and includes the end of the game.
Assuming c:/quake as the install directory (recommended), the shareware should be installed to c:/quake (the default location). It will install the executable files required to run the DOS version (quake.exe), GLQuake (glquake.exe) and WinQuake (winquake.exe). GLQuake and WinQuake are source ports of Quake (also called game engines). The DOS version of Quake will most likely not work in Windows 10, but WinQuake and GLQuake should be playable.
WinQuake and GLQuake can be launched as discussed earlier, but will now run the full version of the game. By keeping the game CD in the CD ROM drive, the original Quake CD soundtrack will be automatically used as music.
The original Quake can be revived on Windows 10 using OpenGL. To do this, the latest Quake demo (Shareware 1.06) can be installed, updating the .exe file and turning it into the full version using the original CD.
But first up, how do you get your hands on the modified game? Simply download the necessary files from the VKQuake-RT github page and merge them with the version of Quake you own per the instructions on the page. It's all relatively straightforward, but I do recommend making one small change to the instructions. DLSS and FSR2 are supported - and both deliver great results overall, by the way - but the recommended DLSS 2.4.0 should be swapped out for the earlier DLSS 2.2.6. Doing this eliminates blurring issues that kick in with the more recent rendition of Nvidia's machine-learning upscaling technology.
You can download the full version of Quake from the download store listed below. If you buy a game you don't only get the full version game, you also support DOS Games Archive. For every sale we receive a small fee from the download store which helps us to keep this free website alive. Thank you and have fun!
One other notable inclusion: Players can access a built-in add-on menu to download a simulated Quake 64 using the PC version as a base to mimic the original. That version includes simulated, N64-like blur effects that cannot be turned off. The add-on interface resembles Bethesda's recent Doom and Doom 2 port projects on consoles and PC, suggesting that more "mod" packs of levels and content will come to this Quake 1 re-release in future updates.
Note: If you own the Windows version of Quake 1, skip the step in the guide that goes over downloading FreeQuake and instead get your own Quake 1 Pak files and set them up in the id1 sub-folder in Quakespasm.
Quake Epsilon is a graphically enhanced build of shareware Quake 1 for Windows/Linux/Mac, which can be upgraded to the full version of Quake along with it's mission packs Scourge of Armagon and Dissolution of Eternity by copying the full-version .pak files into the correct folders.
For those who are unfamiliar with the Quake Epsilon build, it is, or was, a free HD build of Quake 1 with recent-gen graphics. I've worked on it for about the past ten years, on-and-off, including doing soundtrack work for it and the expansions. My final release has been 'More Dimensions', which you can see info for here. And after that, I've decided to quit the quake modding scene, for various reasons, including ten years being a long time to focus on any one game. This is an explanation of the soundtrack for More Dimensions, including it's influences and the life events that contributed to it. The full soundtrack is now available here.
Copper works with any version of Quake (even the original executable), but UDOB requires an engine with support for increased limits and alpha cutout textures. Fitzquake-derived engines such as IronWail, vkQuake, or Quakespasm are recommended. DarkPlaces is not officially supported.
Bethesda is letting players also download free fan-made mods and missions into the remake, including Quake 64, with more on the way. It's unclear if older mods will be compatible with this version, but we'll update when we know more. 2ff7e9595c
