Quake in college

    I'm in college at the moment and every computer uses NT4 and I was just wondering if theres any way to get it to work as it just won't play for me(boo hoo). It's quake1 if you're wondering and I'm getting a bit tired of half-life so if anyone has any suggestions drop me a line.

    bye for now

    Get your hands on winquake.exe and it should run fine. Don't have a link, but you should be able to find it in the files section of Quake.ie

    what exactly can you not get working ?
    running winquake 1.9 shouldn't be a problem aslong as everybody is on the same network.
    obviously for quake world you will need to put a server up on say a unix server whose right ports you can access from the NT lan.

    Maybe you should direct your brilliant vitriol at people who actually do play quake from college. btw, do you actually go out and get drunk and get laid when you have
    1 or 2 hours break between lectures?
    if so, fair play smile.gif

    with those being your 1873rd and 1874th posts wwman, it's real obvious that you get out lots.
    did your ma never tell you that if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything, i know that's what she said to me. she also said it's time for your dinner and that you were to come home right away smile.gif

    of course i get out...out-patiants are only in on days
    as for posting. well, most of my posts before the new year were all late at night coz i woked dod*** hours. now they are all 9 to 5 mostly and never at the weekend coz i dont touch my pc usually at the weekend coz i have a life. (and the missus would kill me)
    someday you will understand.
    having a relationship is more important than online gaming

    anyway, since when have my posts looked like a lot of thought went into them?
    give me some credit here. if i want a deep philisophical conversation i'll watch tv...

    it won't run because it's quake for dos which doesn't run under nt

    will win quake and where do I get it.

    btw I bought my version of quake and I thought it was the latest version (ie windows/nt support) so why won't it run???

    bye for now
