About this game
This package contains the DOS shareware release of Quake, version 1.06. It provides the first episode rather than the complete registered game. The opening area leads to difficulty choices and the episode entrance, followed by levels built around movement, weapons, switches and locked routes.
The supplied configuration already assigns W and S to forward and backward movement, and A and D to strafing. Arrow Left and Arrow Right turn instead. Space or Enter jumps, Ctrl or the left mouse button fires, and the number keys select available weapons.
Mouse movement is not permanently set to modern mouse-look by this configuration. Hold backslash or the middle mouse button for mouse-look, or inspect Options to change the arrangement. Escape opens the menu. Learn the distinction between turning and strafing before fighting around corners.
