 1 - What is QUAKE?

     QUAKE is a 3D 'point of view' action orientated game with
  certain role playing elements from id Software. It is the successor
  to DOOM and features an engine with many enhancements, such as:

   . full six degrees of freedom. no more 2.5Dness as in DOOM
   . polygon based, texture mapped items
   . environmental sound effects
   . advanced player interactions
   . highly advanced networking capabilities:
      + QUAKE servers that can be linked among eachother
      + dozens of players in one game
      + leave/join games in progress
      + source code availability for the server. make your
        own modifications and recompile on other platforms.

   . QUAKE will come with its own C like programming language,
     allowing you to addons to the game never before possible

     A plot for the game has not been conceived yet. It will
  possibly center around a fantasy/medival theme, but people will
  be able to create their own scenarios.

     QUAKE will be available for DOS first. A port to Linux and
  other Unix platforms should follow thereafter and then a native
  Windows '95 version. Other platforms such as OS/2 will soon follow.

Hmmm, Cat.
