I thought the Quake guy's helmet was his hair and he had gray hair and a gray beard.

Try playing winquake instead of glquake

I've been playing Quake for the first time, and I love it. It feels like when I played doom for the first time on my dad's shitty old computer.

Because I have it on Steam, I launched 'Quake' without finding out what the other options were. So I played the original, non-video accelerated version, and I really like it.

I tried the OpenGL version, but 60FPS doesn't feel right to me. Anyone else feel the same? Or am I doing it wrong?

Anything I should try to make the experience better, or should I just play the original?

Also, how the fuck do I make the UI bigger in higher resolutions? It's so god damn tiny.

I find quake kinda boring compared to doom. Any player maps that have a more trigger happy doom like experience rather than the slower quake gameplay?

Wait a minute.

Why the fuck didn't Quake 1 have a soundtrack?

So i was born in the late 80's, meaning the golden age of the FPS pasted me by. Serious sam, the duke, Doom guy, they were all before my time. (my introduction to FPS was Golden eye, and later TimeSplitters)

I decided to play Quake 1 for the first time the other day. I thought id be like Doom or Duke3d. I was very surprised to find it was better. I'm loving it.

Only thing is, i was having trouble getting it to run windowed. (i have since fixed that) But while i was doing that i ran into a mod called darkplaces. It's great except it fucking gives you all the weapons in a huge drop at the start of a stage, i don't know why you would do that. so i can't play that mod, it feel like cheating.

TL;DR Playing Quake for the first time, i love it, but Darkplaces mod Y U Give me all weapons at start?
