The id1 folder should be in your quake install folder. For example /quake/id1/

I just realized what I downloaded was a patch, not the actual game. I don't have the shareware or retail version of quake, so I can't play it.

Does anyone still sell the game for Mac?

You don't need the mac specific version of the game. The PC version will work just fine. Even the PC shareware version will work, though you will have to install DOSBOX to run the installer.exe to uncompress the files and get access to the id1 folder. Either that, or install it on a PC and copy the folder over onto your mac. Either way works fine.

The OP provided a link to download an exe. Can I install that exe file on my PC, and just take the id1 folder from it after it decompresses the files? Or do I need to find the shareware version?

Yep. Just install it and decompress it on your PC and copy the id1 folder onto your mac. It should work fine.

It worked!! Thanks a lot DOACleric!!

I'm posting so that maybe I will remember to stop by these IPs and drop some hurt later on.

I would like to play. I will look into it once I get home from work....I've never played Q1 but I remember playing Q2 online when it came out a few years back.....that was my first FPS....it changed my entire gaming life:thumbsup:

Do I need the package posted in the OP or could I use my original Quake 1 full version? Do I need FuhQuake even to join those servers? I don't care much about the graphics when I'm playing a fast-paced, kickass DM game like Quake 1, tho I suppose it couldn't hurt...

Eh, there's not really an easy way I know of, of using your Quake 1 full version. FuhQuake is pretty much the best Quake 1 client out there right now, and it's what's required for every league/tournament for Quake 1, so you can be rest assured that it's good. And I know what you mean about gameplay>graphics, but don't worry -- the graphics are still pretty bad compared to the likes of HL2/D3, but they're a huge improvement from the original game's.

Drop me a PM sometime with your AIM and maybe we can get some games going

[Beef Taco]

I can't seem to find a server with any people in them, what are the ip's you guys are playing on?

 

[Xephian]

Nice, thanks.

 

[KoolDrew]

Everytime I join a server it is empty I've just been having fun playing single player.

 

[SonicIce]

Is this legal? . GLQuake has Glide for you 3Dfx people.

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

I'm going to try this out later

 

[Xyclone]

Downloading now, thanks.

 

[luigi1]

Si\o I download this then run start? what am I suposted to do? How lame is this?

 

[Trizik]

i can't find servers with people in them either. if anyone's up for some Quake 1 CTF, Xfire me @ "Trizik"

i'll try to get a group together and set a time for us all to play. maybe on the weekend, Saturday night.

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

I forgot how fast this game was. Definately my all time fav.

 

[Xyclone]

Xfire me on "Xyclon3," I just downloaded it.
