    Back in the days I was playing the 1996 Quake Demo on a AM486 DX4 @ 100 MHz with 16 MB of Ram. It was running on DOS in 320x200x8.

      Nice, I’ve heard quake can run on a 486, but never seen it for myself. A DX4 100 based machine is on my retro wish list

    Ahhhh, a fellow Reznor fan!
    I didn't find NIN until my teens, then I went back and played Quake and saw the nail gun ammo box!
    That's how I found out he did the soundtrack.
    Awesome video, often thought about getting an old Pentium again myself.

      Yes! Trent and NIN are awesome, and it's such a good sound track. I saw NIN live earlier this year, and they're still amazing

      ​@@bigbeigebox I need to see them live!
      The production value and the perform is said to be amazing!
      I've relegated for now to buying the vinyls where I can! (Which by the way, if you haven't they did a gooooood job with all of them so far. Waiting for Halo 17 - Stills to come out!)

    There is something special to play Quake with the hardware of that time, without any sourceports or filtering. Pity you couldn't find a crt also

      I’ve been on the lookout for a CRT but working ones are getting rare and expensive, I remember when LCDs became popular and you couldn’t give CRTs away 😖

    I love this video. It feels so nice and cozy. You put in so much effort into the editing and your commentary is so soothing.
    It really brings me back and reminds me why I love Quake...

    I played so much Quake and Quake Tournament. It was so fun getting everyone over to my place, connecting up on a bodged network that ran throughout my apartment, eating pizza, drinking soda, blasting each other to bits in QT.

    Quake looks really good in software mode, it's got a great grungy/crunchy feel to it. It's like the whole art of the game "works" in sofware rendering while it's just a little too clean in the higher fidelity of hardware accelerated mode.

    • @bigbeigebox
      @bigbeigebox  7 месяцев назад +1

      Totally agree, GLQuake never looked quite right to me, especially the spherical explosions

    I think it's perfectly acceptable to play Quake on Normal instead of Nightmare since we don't need to hear the endless clanging sound of Ogres spamming grenades. ;)

      My parent’s second computer when I was growing up was a packard bell pentium 200 mmx, before that we had an 8mhz 8086 from the late 80s, so that mmx machine seemed amazing

    I'm a bit late to the party, so you may have already resolved this, but CD-DA was transmitted to the host one of two ways (and it might have been Win98 where the second way was introduced). It was either over a dedicated audio cable from your CD-ROM to your sound card, or.... as CD-DA data over the IDE bus.

      I think I had issues in the win 95 days, hard to be sure though, it was a loooong time ago 😅 that could well have been why my pc had issues with cd audio back then though

      Yeah, the PC was definitely “technically” capable, but you never know with old, cheap, used computers that have a habit of not booting up 😅

      His body of work is a bit mental and all over the place, not all of it works (bit like aphex twin for me at least), but there's some great stuff in there. You'll have heard Untrue I reckon.
