user: You are replying to All about "Quake - review".

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello Apogee programmers (and ID people).
First off I'd like to say I caught your little interview on "Extra" which
featured Jay and showed his great looking BMW 850 black sedan and the rest of
the ID department, responsible for creating the DOOM series and QUAKE and
many others.
QUAKE is a great game. I've managed to complete the first 3 levels so far but
the secrets will be a different challenge. I do like how you can go
underwater and find secret places. You can do this in DUKE 3D in one scene
as well but QUAKE uses this quite commonly throughout.
Level 4, with the undead creatures, is proving to be tricky. The undead I've
noticed cannot be killed with gun shots but only with a grenade launcher.
The only thing I don't know is how many levels are there in the shareware
release of QUAKE?
Have the other levels (Realm Of Magic, etc) been completed and can be
ordered?
Hats off to a great game!
Sincerely,
Zsolt Hengsperger

Yep and I tried the user map op in the setup menu.
It just exited to the prmpt saying type DUKE3D to start.
So I did, DUKE3D /L8 /V1 /S3, but it just kept comming up with the
default user map.
Well anyways, I got what I wanted from a map I download, SO I just
created a neato batch file to kick em of.
DUKE3D /L8 /V1 /S3 -MAP %1.MAP
works fine now.

You'r right, but their are such unfair secrets that it's almost like
heating.
For instance, in E1L1, you can lay tripbombs all around the main theater
entrance that is next to the arcade elevator.  Then you run over to that
trash can, jump onto it, open that door, jump in, and wait.  When the player
comes and sees you just blow up all the bombs then shut the door, pop out a
rpg, open up the door, launch a few, shut it, open, shut...

couple of centimetres gets corrupted with what appears to be a part of one
frame.  It goes away by itself after a few seconds but I don't recall the
same thing happening in the shareware version.
I have a Pentium 133 with 16 Mb RAM, Diamond Stealth 2001 2Mb (trio 64 V+)
video card, and a sound blaster clone (vibra16 chipset).
I have also seen the same problem on a 486 DX4100 with a Trident video card
and genuine sound blaster 16.
what is likely to be causing this problem?
