Play Quake with the DarkPlaces engine

Quake: another all time classic, although this DOS game looks like it was never really finished properly (which is true). Poorly designed weaponry. No gun-changing animation. Cartoonish characters. But it was an instant classic FPS anyway, with true 3D level design and polygonal characters, as well as TCP/IP network support. With the DarkPlaces quake engine you still can play Quake on a computer with a modern operating system! The DarkPlaces Quake engine is the best source port we've encountered so far. Other Quake source ports we've tested: ezQuake.

So, what do you need to get Quake running with DarkPlaces on Windows 10, Windows 8 and Windows 7?

Installation of Quake

Quake 1 Free

  • If you have an original Quake CD with a DOS version, install the game with DOSBox. Instructions on how to install a game from CD in DOSBox are here. The game files are in the ID1 folder of the Quake installation.
  • If you have an original Quake CD with a Windows version, you don't have to install the game. The game files are in the ID1 folder on the CD.
  • You don't have the original Quake game? Download Quake (including Mission Pack 1 and 2) on GOG.com or Steam!

Installation of the DarkPlaces Quake engine

  • Download the latest stable/official release of the DarkPlaces Quake engine files:

Quake CD soundtrack

The music of Quake on the original installation CD consists of CD audio tracks (starting with track 2), which are not copied to your hard disk when you install the game. The audio files remain on the CD. If you want them, you'll have to extract them.

As such, the music tracks are not copied to your hard disk when you install the mission packs. The CD audio remains on the CD. If you want them, you'll have to extract them. However, there are pk3 archives available which contain the soundtrack of the mission pack. Here's how to get and install them:

  • CD audio of Quake Mission pack 1: Scourge of Armagon:
    • Download the soundtrack (HIPNOTIC_Music.pk3)
    • Copy the downloaded file to the HIPNOTIC folder, in this example c:gamesquakedpHIPNOTIC

Mouse strafing issue after ALT+TAB

When you use ALT+TAB to switch Windows, or to exit full screen, and you return to the game (by pressing ALT+TAB again or the likes), you might find that when you move your mouse, your character strafes (moves from left to right, not turning). You can solve this issue by pressing the ALT key. To prevent this from happening you can also first press ESC in the game to go to the main menu and then press ALT+TAB.

Quake is a first-person shooter PC game released in 1996. It was developed by id Software, the same company that created the Doomfranchise. Today, there are plenty of ways to download Quake for free on the web.

Quake Download Links

The easiest way to download Quake on a PC today is to purchase it on Steam. There are also several websites that host popular Quake ports and mods that you can play for free. Some ports and mods also require the original Quake game files in order to play.

  • Best Old Games has the original DOS version, which will require a DOS emulator such as DOSBOX to play.
  • QuakeOne.com includes a multiplayer component which uses the original shareware to enable multiplayer mode.
  • DarkPlaces is a source port for Quake that features enhancements such as support for high-resolution, real-time shadows rendering, particle effects, and more.
  • GLQuake is another source port of Quake built using the OpenGL graphics library developed by id Software.
  • EzQuake is a multiplayer source port for Quake that is still updated. It features updated graphics, particle effects, and more.

About the Original Quake

In Quake, players take on the role of a character simply known as the Ranger who has been given a quest to stop an enemy named Quake. Players teleport from present day back to a medieval setting where they must fight monsters and other creates using a variety of different weapons.

Quake includes a single-player campaign and multiplayer game modes. The single-player story campaign contains more than thirty missions split across four episodes. These thirty levels include 26 standard levels and secret stages. There is also one final boss fight.

The multiplayer portion of Quake helped popularize multiplayer shooters and introduced a number of new games and gameplay techniques such as bunny hopping. The multiplayer component also includes the ability to play the single-player campaign cooperatively.

The gameplay in Quake is similar to Doom, and the environments have a gothic look and feel. Quake is considered the successor to the Doom series because it was built with some of the same technology. One enhancement included in Quake over Doom is full 3D rendering of the graphics.

Quake Ports

Similar to Doom and Duke Nukem 3D, Quake has also been ported to a number of game systems including Mac OS, Linux, and a number of home console systems. The source code for Quake was also released, so a number of clones/ports have been created for the PC that are free to download and play. Nonetheless, the copyright to original and official Quake is still maintained, and the game is available for purchase via Steam for a very reasonable price. This makes the need to download the old DOS version or port somewhat unnecessary considering the game costs about the same as a cup of coffee.

However, many of the ports available for Quake enhance various aspects of the original or include additional gameplay options. Quake has also been heavily modded over the years, and there are a number of add-ons that may not work with the Steam version. One such mod to be born from Quake was the original Team Fortress. The Quake modding community is still very active with more than 100 mods available at ​modddb.com
