The NetGames List: Q

Quake 1.09

1 to 16 players.

TCP/IP, modem/serial. Crossplatform!

PowerMac Only. CD-ROM.

What is Quake? I couldn't even find a story line. But who needs one, Quake features the ground-breaking true 3D engine, and lives up to Id's 0% plot, 100% action philosophy. Everything in Quake is a real 3D object, which simply adds to the life-like physics of this game: monsters hack and slash at up like never before!

If you've ever played Doom (which is available for virtually every major platform and game console), you already know what Quake's gameplay is like. Just expect more.

Networkable Mac Games Tip:

Attention modem users: you can squeeze extra performance from your netgames by setting up a direct TCP connection between yours and your opponents computer. Check out the Modem to Modem PPP page for details!

Quake can be especially demanding, and sensitive to your system configuration. Be sure to stop by the Performance Tuning Page for squeezing the most performance from your netgames!
