Playstation 1 was the first consol to have these games, though they were available on PC before that, i first played doom in the late 1980's (88-89 if my memory serves me correctly) as a demo on my dads work computer.

 

[smithrc]

yep - all were on the PC first...

(Assuming you Duke nukem 3D as the others were 2d platform games )

 

[demonmagus]

hmmm ok.

ayone know the latest hardware I can use to play these games.

like ps1 for quake like cfc said

Ah, the only three games worth playing, I love these games. Doom & Duke much more then Quake, I wasn't hot at Quake but Doom and I were best friends for years and I was great at Duke until we went underwater, then my computer wasn't fast enough and I always got octopussed to death.

In fact.....an hour or so ago, I was shutting my bathroom window and heard some chavs shouting in the street and muttered to myself "gonna rip 'em a new one" - and it must be YEARS since I last played Duke. I do miss it. Odd to suddenly see a thread about it here

Quake, yes, one of the best games ever. For anyone interested, I wrote an essay about the sources and magic of this wonderful program for the AppleLust site. The great thing with Quake is it remains awesomely playable even today. Some programmers continue to plug away at it... there's TenebraeQuake that is amazingly beautiful but needs one heck of a computer to run, even by modern standards!

Cheers,

Neale

There were actually console versions of Doom before the PSX. The Atari Jaguar, 3DO, Sega 32x all had versions, and I think there was even a version for the SNES.

Neal, TenebraeQuake looks amazing! I'm gonna download it, although I'm not encouraged by your system requirements comment

 

[nmonks]

The newer versions are much better. I tried it out this weekend on my MacBook Pro, and the Universal Binary version at least works fine. The PPC version on my older G4 Mac wasn't nearly so playable. And yes, it looks fab!

Cheers,

mate those are class game i wish they would relese them on the xbox 360 live arcade

Hey Neale, I may be missing something, but since I don't know where my original Quake CD is, I was trying to use the shareware version to test it out, and I can't seem to install it without Classic. I really don't want to install Classic, so do you know of a way to get it installed without it?

First download the PC shareware version of the game. Not the Mac one. I grabbed it from the Mac GLQuake page, here. Unstuff the archive, and you'll find a folder called ID1. That's the game data. Put that into a "Quake" folder. Then, download TenebraeQuake. Put the application into the "Quake" folder as well. Launch the game. That's it!

GLQuake itself, by the way, is fun to have around. It's OS X friendly, though not Intel-native, and runs all the 3rd party mods and maps perfectly well (something that cannot be said for TenebraeQuake).

Finally, FruitzOfDojo also have an OS X Quake 2 application that runs very well. Again, you don't need Mac Quake 2 to use it, the PC Quake 2 CD has all the game data you need. A good game, though I actually think the original Quake has the edge in sheer fun.

Cheers,

Neale

Ah, thanks, the PC demos I was finding didn't have the ID1 folder, so I was a bit confused. This should help a lot. Thanks! I'll post about how well, or not so well, it runs
