Hard to believe it's been 30 years since Quake came out. Time flies and all that. Anyway, kudos to the devs on releasing this for free if you already own the base game.

Personally, I was never the biggest fan of Quake 1. Back in the day, it ran kinda slow on my Pentium 133 at higher resolutions (i.e. above 320x200), and its low-polygon enemies didn't look so great even then. Compare that to Duke3D, which came out around the same time, had better environment interactivity, ran fine at 640x480, and had more detailed (though sprite-based) enemies.

I still appreciated Quake for its fully 3D environments, dark atmosphere and foreboding soundtrack, but it never really clicked with me. The sequel was much more to my liking. I especially remember being blown away by the colored lighting, and how the glow from the blaster pistol illuminated the surroundings.
