Func_Msgboard: Quake Pre Release/Beta Version

Posted by davemckay1 on 2010/02/14 18:46:42

Hello all,

I've been building a website that covers computer games, programming and a number of other topics with a large sub site covering the Quake games.

The site has pages covering the various ports and alternate versions of the game, and I've been trying to get a copy of a torrent named:

"Quake 1 pre-release (Use DosBox with Win XP)"

To add some detail on it to the site, but after several weeks haven't got even a byte of it. I was wondering if anyone here had a copy, and / or could provide some info on this?

Best Regards,
David McKay.

I know its cool you're showing off the pre-release version of Quake, but like the HL1 Beta/ Alpha, wouldn't be better if you just uploaded it instead? I know you have it Spirit >:)

Well to be honest, I had the pre-released version, and I was convinced that it was the final release until I went to a friend's house and I saw noticeable differences. The first: Chthon. My version had a version of that monster that had no face.. in fact half of his body was black and the bottom was really like.. well different. The second was the spiders, they trow a different kind of fireball. The last level was kind of weird and you coulnd't kill the last monster.. it was a major glitch.

Neither to say.. I lost that copy of quake and never found another like it

I Now remember everything.. A friend of mine came from hong-kong and give me as a gift a cd called "Combo 13". It had this games: Quake (pre-realeased version), tomb raider 1 (also weird looking, maybe a beta?), Duke nukem 1, 2 and 3d. If anyone own this cd (it was very popular at the time) it will content quake pre-released version

After reading this thread I relentlessly searched my old CDs and I finally found it! yes it looks exactly the same as the version you post in those videos.. I like this version even more than the retail one.. it has some kind of "magic" with those textures

Care To Upload That Somewhere?
