Game Information

By: id Software
Genre: Sci-Fi, FPS
Release Date: June 22, 1996 (Original release)
Players: 1 (plus multiplayer)
Version: This information is based on Dark Places build 20060725, using data pak's from the full commercial "Ultimate Quake" CD. I used the non-SDL binary, but it shouldn't make a difference widescreen-wise.

Quake is an FPS from iD Software. You play as a grunt who must travel to a variety of worlds through interdimensional portals and destroy a Lovecraftian horror and hundreds of minions before they can locate and overrun earth.

Dark Places is a source port that has various enhancements over the official versions. It may not be as impressive graphically as say, Tenebrae, but this port is the widescreen king of source ports, so it gets the honors here.

Dark Places can be downloaded here (original Quake data is required and not included) http://www.icculus.org/twilight/darkplaces/
