Very few games create the same feeling as Quake

Revolutionary times. I had Voodoo 1 from Diamond, I mounted a small fan, overclocked to 55Mhz. Everything stable. Such a breakthrough jump in "graphics" should be experienced by everyone.

The day I plugged in my STB Blackmagic Voodoo2 with a whopping 12mb and went from Software to hardware rendering pretty much changed everything for me. I had only read in magazines and a few websites and what not what it could do but man, seeing it in person, in MY computer....Everything was so smooth and pretty.

Love this. Reminds me of my gold times. BTW it should be win 95 instead of 98 :)

This game was, in my opinion, a mixture of chilling tension and a kind of creepy atmosphere, like for example the Orges walking around with their chainsaw with the blade dragging across the floor and the music giving it a kind of extra atmosphere. I thought that suited it. Quake was also my very first 3D game (I don't know how else to put it, sorry about that).

The good ole days!

A very nice 1997 system. Quake 1 had really high system requirements for that period.

i had some issues with this computer last week. Sometime voodoo complete not working, last two days i had artefacts. But problem solved. PCI slot also connector on card oxidated so i cleaned and is working again ❤

It ran fine on my 60 MHz Pentium in software mode at 320x240. I didn't get my first 3D card until 2001, which was a lowly GeForce2 MX200 PCI, but it ran GLQuake perfectly in 1280x960.

pew pew :)

[@mephestys2995]

I see GL_FLASHBLEND is enabled, i wonder how much of a speedup that even actually provided

[@fradd182]

Maybe too bright for the ambient that quake was meant to be, but running fine on a voodoo.

[@nick9323]

nice necro achievement, tho i prefer playing q1 on modern, like vkquake, etc. engines . But hexen2 may be better in original form ..

[@SINfromPL]

looks sped up?

[@chriswilson9331]

Na, that's how the movement was.

[@wasrad]

lol no thats just how we did it back then. CTF with grappling hooks....oh man.....you had to have been on your 5th mountain dew in an hour keep up. Then Team Fortress came out and REALLY changed everything....

[@SINfromPL]

@@wasrad i know how it ran back then, it looks fine on mobile but felt speed up on my pc
