It's really good though, even though I mailed him on Monday and said he should repack it. 

The best part is that the autoexec is dated 2004. 

Fantastic episode overall. The end map feels a bit rushed/underwhelming compared to the rest but the overall quality is very high. I love how old-school it feels and yet there is a subtle layer of modern Quake on top of it.

e5m5 was my favorite of the bunch and e5m1 and e5m2 were pretty great as well. I also quit enjoyed how the Runic maps were a mix of classic E3, e3m5 and some hints of E4.

Now I need to find where to get to e5m8. Is there a way to petition Machinegames to produce only Quake maps in the future? Is this only a shareware episode and is there more to come? A man can dream. 

This is some good stuff. I played through 2 and a half levels. I'm saving the rest until I can play it in the dark.

I was slightly disappointed at the lack of colored lighting, but that's a minor thing (some might consider it a plus).

It's fantastic that this was done. 

Got up to The catacombs, maybe about a third of the way through the level and then i got crushed by a wall and literally went :OOOOO

Will continue later. Very refreshing after playing through the new Doom 

Yeah, some traps are a little on the cheap side. But nothing too offensive.

Why aren't you level design lead ? 

 

Okay 

Played the whole thing on Hard, the whole thing just screams Quake from start to finish, it's awesome.
Though the latest map was the hardest map I've played but it was kinf of cheap.
And what's the deal with the map before it, where you jump behind the exit portal and opens up the waterway from the start area? It leads to nowhere.

A nice classic (-ish) episode. Much like No Rest For The Living, it finds a way to be memorable while using only the original content.

I laughed at how obvious the secrets were in the first few levels, but the situation improved later on. Still, I managed to find everything without much trouble. Dopefish lives!
