Well cartman let me start by saying I don't know! but i was gonna get Quake 2 for my pc wich has windowsXP (it was one those special value versions of like 'sold out' and 'Xplosiv' not the original packaging wen windows xp wudn't hav been out) and it showed on the back which versions of windows it worked on and it stated that it didn't work on xp specifically. I also heard that some old pc games don't work on todays pc because of different methods of memory storage or something. So on that information it sounds like it probably isn't going to work on yur pc but there might be an emulator u cud get do it but i don'think they exist at the moment. so i guess that puts u **** out of look buddy. Who knows maybe I'm wrong.....

I can run Quake and Q2 on my machine - which incidentally happens to be running WinXp

Winquake and GLquake are two executables within the quake install directory. As the name suggests, Winquake is quake for windows.The basic Quake 1 was not made to look as pretty as the games we know today. Therefore there have been additional programs that help transform your Quake 1 into a more attractive Quake 1. This is called GLQuake

I hope you're not trolling;)

They're not actually, you have to d/l them.

Well actually, Osiris, I downloaded the full Quake installer from ID (yes I paid for it), and the installed directory includes WinQuake and GLQuake
