Oldschool Quake for XP question !!

Any tips/tricks on how to install the old 1.06 DOS version of Quake into XP ?! My old trick for 98 was to just dump out of windows, but when I try running setup.

Yeah, use GLQuake (recommended) or WinQuake.

You can get both here.

I can't believe I forgot to mention Tenebrae. That's actually what I use when I play Quake every now and then.

HA... I almost deserve it.

Have you checked out Tenebrae 2? It's looking pretty sweet. Can't wait to give that a try. (Yes, I realize there's an early "leak" version of it on the site there, but it wouldn't work correctly for me).

which is really prealpha ... I had seen something ... but nearly nothing worked
