Where can you buy the original Quake new on CD?

[Hardball]

I recently discovered that my original Quake CD has been lost and when I looked into getting a retail replacement, the local stores had little to none of the old pc games available for purchase. Where could I get a new copy of Quake on CD if it's even possible? Also, I'm not interested in going the digital download route.

Wow. Just . . . wow.

Those prices are a tad steep for a 15+ year old game. I like me some Quake, but at that cost, used may be the way to go on this.

I still have the shareware cd

I have a similar problem, with Quake III. I have the box and everything in it, except for the actual disc. Have no idea what happened to it.

eBay.

I would imagine it would be one of those games you'd be able to find for free legally to download somewhere.

It looks from Amazon that there's a silly collector's bubble going on for unopened '90s games. Wonder if it's the same guys who trade in unbuilt Heathkits.

The game was on sale pretty good last week on Steam. It's still $10 so I wouldn't pay more than that for it.

He's looking for a physical copy.

Yeah, I know he is. I'm just saying that's a good $ amount for a copy as far as value.

People selling it on Amazon used is pretty cheap:

Yeah it was a really good deal especially if you bought the complete pack.

Right on! Someone who still loves Quake! I've seen a box containg Quake, Quake II and Quake III-Arena for $10 in EB.

I just started playing Quake Live the browser version of Q3. Not a bad time waster for free. The Quake series from 1-3 is the most epic FPS of all time.

I'd check GameStop they have lots of old stuff.

I was debating whether to buy it or not on Steam for nostalgia. Think it was less than $5.

gamestop doesnt have anything cool like this.

but as for getting Quake 1 new? i thought it would be out of print?

 

[stahlhart]

Has anyone gotten Quake to run with Windows 7? Will it work with 7 using something like DOSBox? I've got an original copy, but haven't tried installing it yet.

online or store (B&M)?

There is a Win32 executable floating around the net that can be dropped into the quake folder.

I think it's winquake.exe

I remember doing a few small tweaks and getting original 1995 Doom on cd rom to work with windows 7.

So i'm thinking you shouldn't have a problem with Quake.

winquake is the official id windows version of quake and it comes on the CD. its pretty bare bones though. you can also get glquake which is the official opengl version. theres alot of more modern quake ports out there since the source code was released many years ago. one of the more modern active ones is ezquake.
