-The third reincarnation of Quake is one of the most revered first person shooters in gaming history. It was released on December 5th, 1999 by [[..:publishers:activision]]. Its [[idTech 3 engine]] is also the basis for a lot of other games, for instance [[star_trek_-_voyager_elite_force]]. It was the main competitor to Epic's [[Unreal Tournament]] title from November 1999. In 2005 idTech released the source files of this engine under the GPL, giving rise to even more new games, developed and maintained by the open source community.+The third reincarnation of Quake is one of the most revered first person shooters in gaming history.

 The game still installs well even under Windows 10 (2019-03). The only drawback is the not startable ''setup.exe'' file, when running a 64 bit version of Windows. In this case simply use the file ''Quake3\Setup.exe'' from the CD. It works just fine. The game still installs well even under Windows 10 (2019-03).

-The game engine does offer a rather limited set of graphics resolutions. Especially the wide screen resolutions are only a few.
