Happy birthday to the Internet SHAREWARE version of Quake! 🎂🎉🍾🥂
Remember, it was only 8 maps long. To get the full game you had to order it for $45 + $5 S&H (about $100 today) and wait for it to get finished and shipped to you.

@dosnostalgic I loved that old ASCII installer progress bar. It feels like the dumbest thing in the world to love, but it really impressed pre-teen me for some reason. @dosnostalgic it's fun how in Doom and Quake the best episode is the one that was distributed in shareware version.
Don't get me wrong, the other are good too, but leave impact on player. Didn't even finished Doom episodes, but maybe I just like Quake more. :) |
@dosnostalgic I played that Shareware for years, I think.
