Original Quake (1996) PC Gameplay 1

Original Quake (1996) on PC. First three levels of one of my favourite games of all-time. No fancy source ports - this is the way it was meant to be played!
Level 1 - The Slipgate Complex
Level 2 - Castle Of The Damned
Level 3 - The Necropolis

I just beat Doom Eternal for my first time, it was quite an experience but it didn't feel that special because I grew up with modern game graphics. I figured id check out the history of FPS games and its really impressive what they were able to do back in the 90s, I'm kind of jealous. I couldn't imagine how it felt to experience this stuff for the first time. Getting a PC game must of felt like a treasure back then, nowadays it all feels the same.

Maybe games stop evolving, but now there is one game that can give you the experience that "Quake" in 1996 could have created. This game is "Half-Life: Alyx" and all the innovations can be experienced on Valve's VR helmet "Valve Index". Perhaps expensive, but a computer for "Quake" in those years was also not cheap.

[@Suckit626]

I've heard that by beating the campaign in eternal you can play the og doom on a computer in doomguys fortress and you can also get doom 2 if you type a certain code into said computer

[@mpoulin]

Yeah, I played Wolfenstein and Doom back in the day. I remember seeing Quake for the first time at my buddy's (may he RIP) house and was blown away! It was very impressive in the day.

[@ELEKTROSKANSEN]

Been there, done that and I gotta say - I really appreciate taht I had that chance, because current games still awe me. Doom Eternal was absolutely amazing, I was blown away. Yes, graphics aren't progressing as fast as they used to nowdays, but it still amazes me what people can do these days. Quake 1 was a blast and a breakthrough, but the real deal was Quake 2. Oh man, the moment I realised my bullets are changing the textures on the enemies, making them look like they've been shot... That was so REAL! :D

[@ELEKTROSKANSEN]

@@stev11 funny thing, I didn't care much for Alyx - but Doom 3 VR and Doom VFR blew my mind! :)

[@HowBigistheMap]

The game that made me a gamer...

[@duncanmcknight4622]

I ain't afraid of no Quake. Thanks Duke.

[@hamzaa.8082]

Thanks for the memories. The first time I played this game was probably in 1999.. I remember that I used to feel a bit scared when the game starts.

I spent more time here than in school 😎

The music was what the game was, freakin' nightmarish.

[@undoneonion90]

I'm not gonna lie, this game actually gave me nightmares as a kid... well, every FPS game did, I wasn't fond of monsters getting in my face. Thankfully I outgrew that fear as I got older, but man that was a harrowing experience growing up.

[@somerandomperson_23]

pure nostalgia

[@frogtheneonsaber]

I wish those human enemies were stroggs. But this is quake 1. Not 2 or 4

[@kmexperience]

This game really immersed you in another world, much more so than the sequels (as good as they were). If Id gives us another big Quake release, they should really bring back this element. They could still probably work in the Strogg and the arena.

[@vengeancegauloise6049]

wtf i never noticed the NIN on the boxes

[@SHUPIRATE1991]

This game and Duke nukem were my 2 games. I remember using MPlayer to play online

[@robinh5339]

I remember being blown away by seeing this in 1996. Also it was the first FPS game where we used the mouse to look around, which was another hallelujah moment. Plus the multiplayer server mode introduced a new era.

[@mooglywoogle4264]

I remember playing this as a kid at a community computer space in rural France. Crazy memories.

Joe rogan had an addiction with this game holy shit 🤣🤣

[@bombinramen520]

The game that made half life

[@BryonLeonard]

Thanks

[@johneymute]

It’s just absolutely incredible how well 3D could be faked with raycasting and the other variant but less processing the bsp engine could be,just amezing what can be done with such alternative solutions for it,

[@lol72d986n]

And thus, an FPS revolution was born...

[@shanes.6227]

you can very clearly see its a technological improvement from the 90s from the first second of the video

[@shanes.6227]

columbine kids prob played quake

[@SniperRed0092]

Started playing this 🔥

[@phoenixofhyrule7342]

Any download links please?

[@fernandoandres3117]

Today, I played this game as you did in this video, no source ports or any type of mod. I don't have major problems with the gameplay, the only exception is that I can't hear the music, is it necessary to have the cd in the driver?

[@nick15uk]

The music was stored on the original disc and therefore is required for playback. You could probably pick it up for cheap from eBay?

[@fernandoandres3117]

@@nick15uk I see. Two years ago I bought from ebay one of the box versions released for PC in 1997. Since today, I wanted to experiment how different is by playing without sourceports (always used QuakeSpasmSpiked). I have been surprised that the game works perfectly in windows 10. The thing is that I don't want the cd to wear out because I want to keep it as a collectible. Pretty sure that they are very cheap on ebay. What I didn't know either was that the cd was required to hear the music. If that's the case then is very similar to the retail versions of Half-Life and its first expansion, since they don't require the cd to play but it does for hearing the entire soundtrack while playing.
