Description
Upstream info (WinQuake)
- Website
- Target platforms: Win
- Source repo
- Language(s): C / Assembly

Technical details
Why point out WinQuake and not GLQuake as well, it's the same codebase after all?
Well to make the long point short. GLQuake has drastically incorrect colours/lighting compared to DOS whereas it's correct in WinQuake.

- Source repo
- Language(s): C
- Licence: GPL 3.0
Comments
Obviously Chocolate Quake just came out (and still in beta at the time of this request), so this is gun jumping quite a bit, but due to this being the first original experience of Quake since WinQuake without any enhancements I think it's good timing to at least put it in the mind to make the request.
Technical details
Probably the best modern iteration whilst trying to keep that "stock" experience of Quake in a similar vain of goals to that of Chocolate DOOM but with better stability to modern systems.
Merits
We have DSDA-DOOM, which is a nicer port of Chocolate/Crispy DOOM whilst keeping it more of a "stock" experience compared to something else, why not get the next system down the line? Quake.
Quake is a large enough series, where there are Tool-Assisted works that exist, and well if the same applications that are being done to DOOM can be done here, then why not go for it?
Alternative Quake:
vkQuake is a modern Vulkan implementation of Quake. Written in C/C++.
