Gaming in Linux: Quake 1 with DarkPlaces Engine
52Game play of Quake 1 using DarkPlaces Engine in Ubuntu 11.10
DarkPlaces Engine uses OpenGL and adds some nice new modern effects to the classic 1996 game, including new lighting effects, shadows, particle effects, and anti-aliasing.

Install Instructions:
1. Download the Darkplaces Engine from the above website
2. Unzip Darkplaces into your Home folder
3. Create a new subfolder called "id1"
4. Copy the original Quake .pak files into the id1 folder
(I got mine by Installing Quake CD into DOSBox then copied the .pak files to Darkplaces)
5. Make sure all file names are in lowercase
6. Run the appropriate executable for your system:
Windows: darkplaces.exe
Linux: darkplaces-linux-686-glx or darkplaces-linux-x86_64-glx
Optional if you have the original CD:
1. Rip all the CD Audio into .ogg files
2. Create a new subfolder in id1 called "sound"
3. Create a new subfolder in sound called "cdtracks"
4. Copy the Ogg CD tracks to ~/darkplaces/id1/sound/cdtracks
Tracks have to be named: track001.ogg, track002.ogg, etc...
Once I had got everything up and running I moved the whole darkplaces folder across to /usr/local/games
