If you missed out on QuakeCon, we've got the highlights covered here. If you need more Quake in your life, check out Quake Champions, which went free to play back in 2018. It'll run you $5 on Steam, but it's often on sale for much cheaper. Note: This is not a game itself, but a way of playing Quake on modern machines. The goal was to create a carbon-less native port that would not rely on any legacy APIs. The port was originally released on MacOS X 10.0. It is based on the Quake source code that was released on December 21, 1999. Quake 1 was previously free to nab on August 7, so sorry if you missed out. This is the source code for the MacOS X port of Quake. No word on Quake 4 yet, though it's honestly best left forgotten. Quake 3 will be free to own on August 17 starting at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET. If you don't already have Quake 2, you can pick it up for free for the next 72 hours on the Bethesda Launcher simply by logging in. Well, thanks to a successful charity drive at this year's QuakeCon, a couple of them will be free to own soon. Though each game is radically different from one another-the steampunk fantasy of Quake 1, the sci-fi Strogg slaying of Quake 2, and the pioneering multiplayer of Quake 3-each of them have held up quite well over the years. When it comes to the early days of the FPS genre, there's really no substitute for the original trilogy of Quake games. (We had SMP mode enabled on all multi-processor equipped Macs for this round of testing.) Specifically, you see an MDD Dual G4/1.42GHz beating a QuickSilver Solo G4/2.0GHz.

Its an action game, set in a sci-fi / futuristic, shooter and fps themes. At least in the case of Quake 4 with true SMP support, the answer is that the dual processor Mac is better than a single processor Mac.
