True enough; they're significant improvements of the same source code as the 
original Quake engine.

> and don't play like they are.

Yes they do. Despite default settings that enable some graphical upgrades, 
they can look exactly like GLQuake/GLQuakeWorld, which is how I've always 
used FuhQuake at least. It's not like they change the game physics, or even 
the sound or graphics (if you've got them set back to old-fashioned 
settings).

>   To date, I haven't found a complete command/var list for FUH.

That's true, some of the settings are different, but some of the old ones 
people were used to are no longer needed.

Your loss.

> and I don't recommend it.

I do. Virtually anyone who plays Quake online these days is using it, too.
