Posted On: February 9, 2023

Is there any option for native playing Quake on OS X 10.7 and above?


Question from user LuisEspinoza at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

Yes there is actually a way to play Quake but you'll need the CD contents of the original Quake (or play a shareware version).


Personally I have only been able to get this to work using GLQuake/Quake provided by that link.


REQUIREMENTS.


Intel.


Mac OS X 10.6 or later.


Quake 1 (shareware or retail version).


You can download shareware quake By ID Software (6.7 MB) here. (which is free).


Steps to install: .


install the quake client from here.


download the shareware version of quake here.


unzip the .sit file (to a known area).


then open up glquake.


it will ask you to locate the ID1 folder, find it (it should have PAK0.PAK in it).


It will load if correctly found ID1 folder is selected.


Press the green play button.


Have fun playing old school quake!.
