Iru Intro – Quaka for Windows

 

I play for the first time at Iru Intro. My old computer. I am a happy player. And, it is with Windows 2000 SP4. Cool operational system. But, for the weekend – most best thing it is a game for weekend. To test system. I decide to play first Quake. There is version 1998 year. Re release from Activision. It goes with Quake. With three forms. This is Quake for Dos. Win Quake and GL Quake.

And, by the way, for now, I have played at Win Quake. Quake for windows, this is a full title. Such a long and loud name. Quake under the windows. So, in a short. OpenGl version not works for me, because of I do not have installed open GL. So, Windows version. Ms Dos version for Win2000, also, cannot start.

So, there is one interesting thing. That in Quake for windows it is a resolution. 320 x 240. 640 x 480 and 1024 x 768 as max. By the way, 320 x 240 is looking very good! Very pixelated and creep! And, it is going good for Quake! Industrial kind! Dark kind! Gothic! Creep. Such a gray pixels. Darkness. With a higher resolution it, someway, adds something like sharpness. And it is, already, not so big atmosphere. So, it is find out, a point, that to play Quake it is cool with 320 x 240.

I play it with keyboards. Mouse with this version is not very useful. And it, almost, does nothing. Short, this is like Doom for MS DOS, control is here. With keyboard everything. Saying the truth I have little issue. With my computer, there is no sound driver yet. Well, you know. To play Quake without sound. Well, this is scary! A little loss of atmosphere. Well, what can I do!

I am without sound, at all. I go to the second level only now. Well, I was lost there. At the second level. I cannot, there is a big door there, to open it. Such dark and gothic hall. And it has a passage to underwater. Water is so muddy. Yellow or green. Everything is floats before they eyes. Cool exciting effect.

And, this version of Quake, I see as a something new! I am playing! Well, maybe, to try another episode. I start from the beginning. So, it has several episodes. You can select any of them. You are running to the special little rooms. And select episode. Such a starting hub. This is, also, a cool theme.

And, also, I remember about something additional disks, with addon, there were lots of them for Quake. Like Quake after shock. Aftershock. So, I want to try to play too! It should to have a new levels!

Quake for windows – it is interesting game solution for old systems. And resolution at 320 x 240 – this is exciting! So, these are amazing results! And sorry I cannot go far. But, I run different episodes for a while.

Playing little games. From time to time i like to play videogames. And write about it.
