Since the Quake I source code is available for free download from ID
software's website (and Quake II for that matter), is the compiled version
of Quake I available to download?

Best Regards

Unmodified Quake I?  Not to my knowledge offhand.  

Usually, you need to look for packages such as "QuakeForge", or "Tenebrae".
There have slight differences, but have the advantage of additional
features without compromizing the original game.  

Plenty can be found here:  http://wiki.quakesrc.org/index.php/Engines

If you want, you could ask a person that you know that has compiled such a
version.  (You'll get the source code with the binary - it's the only way
it may be legally distributed.)

Of course it is: id has the last official version (1.06) available 
(http://www.idsoftware.com/), as well as QuakeWorld 
(http://www.quakeworld.net/), GLQuake, etc. (look in 
ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/) Of course, none of these include the 
game's data files. You can get the demo (first episode of 4), but for the 
whole game you need to pay (there is an online download, but the price is 
exorbitant - US$25!!!).

You may also want to try fuhquake (http://www.fuhquake.net/) or the equake 
package that also includes it and lots of other useful stuff (such as the 
All-Seeing Eye and various handy utilities), including some levels 
(http://equake.quakeworld.nu/)

The poster was probably referring to version 1.09.  I'm aware of the
eariler versions, but didn't count them (as they have a bit more bugs.)

>V1.09 is "WinQuake". The last official version of GLQuake was 1.08 and 
the same goes for DOS Quake. The last version of VQuake (Rendition 
Verite chipsets) was 1.07. Quakeworld has the unofficial GLQuake 1.13 
avilable for download and it has fog, shadows, weapons flash and bump 
mapping available.  

If you want more eye-candy then there's TomazQuake 1.48 which adds real 
time shadows and lighting, better flames and smoke. Telejano adds new 
particles and effects. Tanebrae goes the whole hog and ends up lookning 
like Doom 3, including new high res textures available for download, 
Quake 3 MD3 models and "special versions" for mission packs 1 & 2.  
You'd better have good hardware though. 

I reccommensd either TomazQuake 1.48 or GLQuake 1.13 for better 
compatibility with old MODS.
