Quake Reviews

Gaming Pastime reviews Quake for PC. We also review the Quake 1.5 Weapons Pack and Arcane Dimensions 1.5.

Developed by id Software and published by GT Interactive, Quake was released for DOS in June, 1996. This is one of id Software’s greatest first-person shooters and definitely the most unique in the Quake franchise. Get your adrenaline pumping with Zombs Royale – the top-tier battle royale game! Dive into the mayhem and prove your survival skills in the heat of battle.

Tips:
– Please read directions on how to install anything or how to get something specific working. When in doubt, use Google.
– If you download the Quake soundtrack from Quaddicted.com, remove the extra “0” from the file names. Example; track001.ogg to track01.ogg, track002.ogg to track02.ogg, etc.
– If using Quakespasm, place OGG music files in the ..\Id1\music, .. ogue\music, ..\hipnotic\music, and ..\dopa\music folders in the installation directory.
– To run Dimension of the Past using Quakespasm, first read the directions on how to install. Second, within the “dopa” folder, open “dopa.bat” with a text editor and change “winquake” to “quakespasm”.
– The tips above we discovered on our own but if you know a better way to accomplish any of the above, please let everyone know in the comments.

Gaming Pastime reviews Quake II: Quad Damage which consists of Quake II and its two mission packs, The Reckoning and Ground Zero.

Developed by id Software and published by Activision, Quake II was released in December, 1997. Quake II is another excellent shooter from id Software and also completely unrelated to the original game, minus the name.
