Use Id Pak Files From Steam

[DasFool]

Some ports of quake support cd audio ripped to another format. I'm pretty sure the xbox port of quake supports the music files in wma format.

IIRC Darkplaces(a Quake 1 sourceport) supports "fake-cd" emulation using OGG files but Darkplaces hasn't got a OGL|ES port so it might be some trouble to port.

Fantastic find guys, cheers, duly purchased!

It was cheaper a day or two ago, now it's gone back up to £18. I think I own sufficient games in the pack to not bother, I don't think I'll be emulating Doom 1 and Quake 1 when I can run Quake 3 etc. -- still a great deal, if it had a fewer newer games that I didn't own I'd have plumped for it.

Keep an eye on their homepage.

Roughly 7 games per day at awesome prices.

I think I have just about every id game also. When it comes to Quake III I don't even want the original game (I own it anyway) just because the mods of the open code are so good. I know I have Doom somewhere, it's not in my stack of computer disks though. Oh well, like you I probably will never play id's original version.

Strange, I don't think I'll be emulating playing Quake 3 when I can play Doom 1

Missed that offer but have just bought some piece of mind and scumm fodder in the form of the LucasArts Adventure Pack for £1.74.

Edit: Price.

Hmm, I'll have to look into steam to get all my classic games I can't find anymore. I run Linux but I know it works through wine so I'll have to give it a try when the Pandora comes out.
