To see Quake run in all its high resolution splendor, you'll need to download the SciTech Display Doctor. You should only use this utility if your computer has a good graphics card with 2 megs of RAM, because the higher resolution video modes will slow the game down too much if you only have an average graphics card.Other Quake FTP Sites:If XTRA's FTP site is busy, you can download Quake from any of the following sites...Australia:
