Quake: The Offering

On October 5th 1998, id Software published (for Windows & DOS) “Quake: The Offering”, a compilation that included Quake and its two official mission packs: Scourge of Armagon and Dissolution of Eternity.

Macmillan Digital Publishing released a Linux version in early 1999, which used the glxQuake port.

This was the first official commercial release of Quake for Linux.

On the CD you will find 5 versions of Quake for Linux:

• SVGALib Quake (squake) – Software rendering, runs on the Linux text console.
• GLQuake (glquake, glquake.glx and glquake.3dfxgl) – hardware rendering that runs using hardware 3D acceleration.
• X11 Quake (quake.x11) – Software rendering in a window under X11.
