Anyway, I wanted to remind myself of how the game played and sounded, so I downloaded shareware demo quake_sw. It has various exe files and I installed it via a dos type install.bat. Can't get the game to work though. Any ideas?
The readme says this:
" Running Quake
-------------
DOS: To launch Quake from the DOS Prompt, go to the Quake directory and
simply type "QUAKE" <ENTER>. (no quotes)
Windows 95: To launch Quake in single player mode, double click on the file
QUAKE.EXE From Windows Explorer. "
Double clicking on anything in the folder doesn't start the game. I tried the windows XP command prompt and it came up with this:
C:\>cd quake_sw
C:\QUAKE_SW>quake.exe
