I just need to have basic quake 1.08 installed, right? Other than paying planetquake a fee to download something that should be free (since I own Quake1), where can I get 1.08? thanks a bunch.

Yup. > I just need to have basic quake 1.08 installed, right? Other than paying > planetquake a fee to download something that should be free (since I own > Quake1), where can I get 1.08? You don't need any version of the original Quake application installed to use FuhQuake. You do need the ID1 folder with pak0.pak and pak1.pak of course to have all the standard levels. (pak0.pak is the free downloadable demo/shareware version that just includes episode 1, and is included in eQuake, pak1.pak is what you get when you buy the game.) I think eQuake includes SOME levels from pak1.pak; initially it included the main multiplayer levels (DM2/4/6) and a handful of single-player levels from episodes 2-4 that show up commonly on online servers, which would be playable even in the absence of pak1.pak, but there were, unsurprisingly, some copyright concerns so I'm not sure if they're still in the package (or maybe they still are and they're just not advertising it as much). The full pak1.pak is the only file you need to play the entire Quake game that's not included in eQuake; you need to get it from your Quake CD (or a friend), and it can replace the pak1.pak that comes with eQuake. You can also order a downloadable version from the id site, but it's pretty shocking that they charge *$25* for a 7 year old game, particularly when they're not even including the CD, booklet, etc. (They'd probably make more money charging $5 instead; I'd probably have paid that just to download it faster, rather than hooking up my old Mac to transfer it over from...) > thanks a bunch. >

eQuake is a package comprising FuhQuake and a variety of other files and useful utilities.
