PPC Quake (X5)

I just finished playing the first level on this, and I must say I am astounded!

I never expected much at all, especially as it is still technically a beta, and I was running it on an X5, not the best Axim for 3D performance. While the actual game screen was rather small, and due to the dark nature of the game, you end up with the Axim 2" from your face, the graphics were brilliant. OK, not PS2 great, but certainly better than a lot of games designed for the PPC platform.

Anyone who has yet to try this, should really make some space and time to give this a whirl... especially the make space part... 18MB for the pak0.pak

oh well... my 512CF card arrives next week :)

Yep, it was the first game i stuck on my X30 High :) It runs a average of 23.7FPS on my axim. You must have been getting like 4-6 FPS.

its a nice game, but unless u can get the full pack file from a bargain bin somewhere, that first level can get old kinda fast

Aaaaw, dont say that! *hugs his "little" X5*

It actually runs very smoothly, I dont have a frame counter running, but its playable!

Where do you get Quake? Do you have to buy it or can it be downloaded for free?

You can download the demo for free anywhere on the net (just do a quick google), but it will only have one level. You can buy the full version for pennies now as its so old, best bet is to look around PC stores, and see if they have it in a bargain bin.
