Quake questions

[grave_digga]

Why are mac-people being punished?

Because they are using overpriced intel pcs with a lousy OS on it.

There are also Mac ports of some newer engines...

Quake is intended to be run on Windows 7 and other updated operating systems. (including Mac,with certain clients)


Quake has more support now, then it did during its hey dey.

If you watch a video of Quake1 uploaded to YouTube, I garuntee it wasn't recorded using the out of date engines from your past.

Things you need :

Quake Installer (google for clanhdz,and explore)
Updated Quake Client/Engine ( QuakeOne - Quake 1 Resurrection - Quake 1 File Downloads - Quake Clients there is a Mac client somewhere in there... )
Patience (You won't need too much of this,because you have Quakeone.com to assist)

When you think about gaming on a computer,or go shopping for a game at a retail store on the computer platform, if your first thought is Mac then something is warped in your reality. Choosing Mac is to punish yourself when it comes to gaming....this was true when quake1 came out,and is still true today.

Cheers I'll definitely try what you recommended.

It's not like I got Mac for gaming, I'm a professional musician and this is my everyday tool. I guess I could get a cheap/light pc for games such as Quake but we'll see. And yes, Mac can run windows but unfortunately the drive on my Mac is quite busy enough with all the stuff and heavy apps. I've got on daily use.

When it comes down to all this huzzling with engines and ports and stuff I'm crippled. For that I'm glad there's this site. I haven't got much freetime but I'll definitely want to get this work. All this because of one certain game...
