Ok so I have quake 1, registered version 2.01 I think. And when I start it up it gives me a register screen saying that I can order all the episodes, yet it's the retail copy, I thought the retail copy had all the episodes. It also has a code on the back that is says "source code" what gives?

Huh. Weird. Soooo how do I know if I'm getting a real retail copy when I buy it on amazon or eBay?

Has anyone tried the Stream version? Is it based on DOSBox and does it work on a DOS PC?

That's not Quake, but WinQuake/GLQuake/Quakeworld. But I guess you could get some DOS binaries from a patch and "attach" them to steam data files.

Sorry, I was wrong. A DOS executable is included, but not listed on steam options. It works with DOSBox, but it complains about the CD (=no music).

I see, thank you for looking into this!

Another question, does GLQuake also play CD Audio tracks when you have the original disc?

Brain fart, steam wraps quake in dosbox. Anywho, I figured out the error. I was running shareware quake. 😦 Registered quake was in quake_1 folder not the quake folder.
