Want music? Insert a CD!

This is a great game, always has been, I have played it over and over through-out the years as it was the first game that ever got me into online gaming, I joined my first clan while playing Quake and competed for placings for two years. One thing about this game that most people don't realize, it never had an actual soundtrack in the game files, the music was written to the game CD as audio tracks and could be played on any stereo, the opposite is also true, insert a music CD while playing and you can listen to your favorite music while playing, this was a deliberate feature done by id Software that everyone seems to have forgotten. If you want the original tracks then you can find them for download on the internet, then burn an audio CD and away you go. IF YOU WANT MUSIC THEN INSERT AN AUDIO CD! Please update your description GoG and possibly include an audio CD image ready to mount/burn so people can have the full package. I luckily still have my original disc, others aren't so lucky, but everyone should be able to enjoy this game as it was originally created.

All-time classic FPS

Unique and memorable setting combining modern age and medieval times. There's not an ounce of happiness in this universe, just demon organs and especially brutal weapons. Grotesque and dark levels look and feel depressing, filled with monsters and very high speed gameplay. Quality shooter that was a step up from the already magnificient Doom. World of Quake I still don't know do i like the world of this game or not. It's raw, the levels look all the same. A human military base at the beginning of each episode which houses a portal that takes us to medieval-themed levels. Castles and temples filled with secrets and monsters that kill you in matter of seconds. All my "problems" with this game are just in the overall look of the game, and they're just preferences. This world just isn't my thing, everything else is spot-on, though the lore is a bit too similar to Doom. Instead of hell, this time we're facing a mysterious hostile creature codenamed "Quake", and his army.

Just too repetitive.

I'm a big fan of several 90's FPS games, especially Doom 2, Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior and Rise of the Triad. Quake was a game I also liked a lot way back when it first came out, but I kinda got tired of it way faster than the other games mentioned above. The endlessly murky, dour surroundings, repetitive music and overall one-note atmosphere really grinds on my nerves after a while. It also doesn't help that the gameplay just isn't all that much fun after a while. The weapons mostly just copy-paste the Doom lineup, but with a downgrade or two. The lightning gun that replaces the BFG is really unimaginative and boring. There's essentially 3 machine gun like weapons in the game. The enemies also get kinda boring after a while. The fat ogre dudes that lob grenades at you are the most fun to fight in the long term, but most other enemies get stale - unlike the incredibly clever lineup of enemies in ID's older game, Doom 2. The blue, bouncing exploding goo blobs that you start encountering later in the game are super tedious and never fail to elicit a groan from me. Two mission packs are included as well, but they're mixed at best. MP1 is pretty bland and only manages to add poorly designed levels, lame weapons and rather annoying new enemies. MP2 is more fun, but kinda lazy, with new weapons just being re-skins with beefier firepower. At least the level designs are ok, but sometimes they really manage to pull off some spectacularly annoying level segments. Overall, I'd say Quake hasn't aged well. It sure was neat seeing "real" 3D after the pseudo-3d of Duke and Doom, but I'd much rather go back and play those technologically inferior games instead. They had actual fun gameplay in spades. Not to mention how the embarassingly outdate Rise of the Triad was more fun than a stack of 1.000 Quakes. I bought Quake on GOG recently and wrote all of this because I was reminded why I hadn't touched it in years...

Doesn't work

This game does not run in its current state. I'm not going to use third party apps to make it playable, or change the source of the files myself.
