I. THE STORY

A. Background

      You get the phone call at 4 a.m. By 5:30 you're in the secret

   installation. The commander explains tersely, "It's about the Slipgate

   device. Once we perfect these, we'll be able to use them to transport

   people and cargo from one place to another instantly.

      "An enemy codenamed Quake, is using his own slipgates to insert death

   squads inside our bases to kill, steal, and kidnap..

      "The hell of it is we have no idea where he's from. Our top scientists

   think Quake's not from Earth, but another dimension. They say Quake's

   preparing to unleash his real army, whatever that is.

      "You're our best man. This is Operation Counterstrike and you're in

   charge. Find Quake, and stop him ... or it ... You have full authority

   to requisition anything you need. If the eggheads are right, all our

   lives are expendable.."

B. Prelude to Destruction

      While scouting the neighborhood, you hear shots back at the base Damn,

   that Quake bastard works fast! He heard about Operation Counterstrike,

   and hit first. Racing back, you see the place is overrun. You are almost

   certainly the only survivor. Operation Counterstrike is over. Except for

   you.

      You know that the heart of the installation holds a slipgate.

   Since Quake's killers came through, it is still set to his dimension.

   You can use it to get loose in his hometown. Maybe you can get to the

   asshole personally. You pump a round into your shotgun, and get moving.

II. INSTALLING QUAKE

A. Installation

   You must install Quake before you can play it. It will not run off the

   CD-ROM. Place the CD-ROM into your drive, log on to that drive, and type

   'INSTALL'. If you have downloaded Quake via modem, simply go to the

   directory you've placed Quake in, unzip it, and type 'INSTALL'.

B. README.TXT

   After you install Quake, you go right into the README.TXT file, which is

   henceforth available in your Quake directory. This is a full listing of

   Quake's technical parameters, and is constantly updated with new versions

   of Quake. We strongly recommend that after you install Quake, you glance

   through README.TXT.

   You may wish to print this file out, so you can have a copy of it on hand

   while playing Quake.

C. MANUAL.TXT

   Also available in your Quake directory is a file labeled MANUAL.TXT.

   This is the file you are now reading.

D. TECHINFO.TXT

   For those who are more technically inclined, or to fill out a bug report,

   check out TECHINFO.TXT. Information on filling out a bug report is located

   at the end of TECHINFO.TXT.

III. THE BASICS OF PLAY

A. Goal of the Game

	Quake has two basic goals. First, stay alive. Second, get out of the

        place you're in. The first level of each episode ends in a slipgate --

        these signify that

you're entering another dimension. When you complete

        an entire

dimension (this takes six to eight levels), you'll find a

        Rune and another slipgate, which returns you to the start.

B. Skill

	The start area has three short hallways. The one you go down selects

        the Skill you wish to play at.

	Easy -- This is meant for little kids and grandmas.

	Medium --  Most people should start Quake at Medium skill.

	Hard -- Here at id, we play Hard skill, and we think you should too,

        once you're ready.

	(Nightmare) -- This is so bad that the entry is hidden, so people

        won't wander in by accident. If you find it, don't say we didn't warn

        you.

C. Episode

	After the Skill halls, you're in a room with four exits. Each exit

        leads to a different military complex, at the end of which is a

        slipgate leading to a new dimension. If you have not registered, the

        first episode, Dimension of the Doomed, is the only place you can go.

        After registration, all four episodes are available. The other three

        episodes, in order from second to fourth, are Realm of Black Magic,

        Netherworld, and The Elder World.

=============================================================================

== TIP -- From episode 1 to episode 4, the dimensions become progressively ==

== more difficult. We suggest you play the episodes in the proper order to ==

== get the maximum fun out of Quake.                                       ==

=============================================================================

D. Getting About

      The specific keys named below can be changed by using the Configure Keys

      Menu. If you have renamed Run as the R key, for instance, then the Shift

      key will not double your speed.

   Walk

      Use the arrow keys or the mouse. To walk steadily forward, hold down

      the Forward key (up arrow or center mouse button). Turn left or right

      with the left or right arrow keys or sliding your mouse to the left or

      right.

   Run

      Hold down Run (the Shift key) to double your speed.

   Jumping

      Tap the Jump key (the space bar or Enter key). You jump further if

      you're moving forward, and you jump higher if you're moving up a slope at

      the time. You'll be surprised at the spots you can reach in a jump. You

      can even avoid some attacks by jumping at the right time.

   Swimming

      When underwater, aim yourself in the direction you wish to go, and

      move forward. You have full three-dimensional freedom. Unfortunately,

      as in real life, you may lose your bearings while underwater. Use

      jump (the space bar or Enter key) to kick straight up towards the

      surface. Once on the surface, tread water by holding down jump.

      To get out of the drink, swim towards the shore. Once there, use jump

      to clamber up. If you're down a well or you can't get a grip, you may

      not be able to climb out. There is always another way out, but you may

      have to submerge to find it.

   Shooting

      Tap the Shoot key (the Ctrl key or left mousebutton) to fire. Hold it

      down to

keep firing.

   Use

      Quake has no "Use" function. To push a button or open a door, walk up

      to it. To ride a platform up or down, step atop it. If a door won't open

      or a platform won't lower, you may need to do something special to

      activate it.

   Picking up stuff

      To pick up items, weapons, and power-ups, walk over them. If you can't

      pick up something, it means you already have the maximum possible of

      that thing. If it is armor, it means the stuff you're trying to get is

      worse than what you now have.

E. Finding Things

   Buttons and Floorplates

      Buttons activate with a touch, and floorplates must be stepped on.

      If you see a distinctive-looking button in a spot you cannot reach,

      it's probably a shootable button-- fire at it.

   Doors

      Most doors open at your approach. If one doesn't, seek a button,

      floorplate, or key.

   Secret Doors

      Some doors are camouflaged. Almost all secret doors open when they are

      shot or hit with an axe. The rest are opened by hidden pressure plates

      or buttons.

   Platforms

      Most platforms only go up and down, while some follow tracks around

      rooms or levels. When you step atop of a platform, it rises to its

      full height, and usually only lowers when you step off. Some platforms

      must be activated via button or pressure plate.

   Pressure Plates & Motion Detectors

      Invisible or visible sensors which open doors, unleash traps, warn

      monsters, etc.

   Uncovering Secrets

      Secrets are hidden lots of ways. You might need to shoot a button, kill

      a monster, walk through a secret motion detector, etc.

   The Secret of Secrets

      All secrets in Quake are indicated by clues. Don't waste your time

      hacking at every wall. It's much more productive (and fun) to use your

      brain and your eyes. Look up. An angled texture, a light shining under

      a wall, a strange sound -- anything -- might be the clue. Something

      prominent in a room might be decoration ... or it might be the clue.

=============================================================================

== TIP -- Bouncing a grenade off a shootable button or secret door won't   ==

== open it, but if the grenade's explosion goes off nearby, this may       ==

== activate such secrets.                                                  ==

=============================================================================

   the icon before the desired option, and tap the Enter key. To return to the

   Main Menu, tap the Escape key again. To exit the menu and return to the

   game, tap the Escape key when you are on the Main Menu.

   NEW GAME

      Discards the game you're playing, and starts anew.

   MULTIPLAYER

      Controls multiplayer game starting and details...

      Name

         Type your name or alias here, and all messages about you will use

         this. So the computer says stuff like, "Josephine rides Bad Bill's

         rocket."

      Shirt Color

         Lets you select your character's uniform color from 14 different

         options (numbered 0-13).

      Pants Color

         As above, but your pants color also determines what team you're on,

         if in team play. (After all, pants are more important than shirts.)

      Communications Configuration

         Takes you to a separate menu on which you can change communications

         settings.

         Com Port

            Selects the COM Port to use for Communications. A null modem or

            modem must be connected to this port.

         Baud Rate

            Selects the COM port baud rate (9600-57600bps). This is NOT the

            same as setting the modem speed. The COM port speed must be AT

            LEAST the same speed as the modem speed.

         Device

            Selects the type of connection, either direct (null-modem) or

            modem.

         Modem Init String

            The Initialization string for the modem.

      Start a Multiplayer Game

         If you want your machine to be the host for a multiplayer game

         (Note: if you are starting a listen server, id Software strongly

         recommends that the fastest machine act as the host! If you are

         playing a game with more than 4 players, we suggest using a

         dedicated server as the host!), select this option, and you'll get

         the following menu  ...

         Begin Game

            Starts up the game. Now all your friends have to do is log on,

            using either "search for local network games" or "join a

            running game at..." Multiplayer options (see below).

         Maximum Players

            You can have up to 16 players. You need at least 2, or it's not

            "multiplayer", right?

         Game Type

            Toggles between cooperative and deathmatch.

         Team Color Rules

            Toggles between "none" and "no friendly fire". In the latter mode,

            your shots won't injure someone wearing the exact same color

            pants as you.

         Skill

            Chooses skill level. Only applicable in a cooperative game.

         Frag Limit

            From none to 100, in ten-frag increments. When someone reaches

            the frag limit, by killing the 40th (or whatever) person, then

            the game ends immediately, and final scores are printed. If your

            frag limit is none, the game won't end till someone exits the

            level or the time limit expires.

         Time Limit

            From none to 60 minutes, in 10 minute increments. When the time

            limit is up, the game ends immediately, and final scores are

            printed. If your time limit is none, the game won't end till

            someone exits the level or the frag limit is reached.

         Start Map

            Lets you choose what map you'd like to play on. The top line

            gives you the episode name, and the lower line is the level's

            name. Note that all levels in Quake are fun to play, but the

            episode Deathmatch Arena is composed of special levels that are

            solely-designed for deathmatch play. Try them, you'll like them.

      Search For Local Network Games

         Has your computer look through your network. It will list all the

         games it finds on the console, and you can choose to join one of

         them by typing connect .

      Join A Running Game At ...

         Lets you join a game either by typing its net address (for a net

         game) or your friend's modem phone number (for a modem game).

         If necessary, ensure your modem and network connections are operative

         by checking your Communications Configuration menu.

   SAVE

      Brings up a list of saved games. Highlight the desired slot, and tap the

     Enter key. Each saved game is identified by the level's name, plus the

      proportion of kills you have achieved so far.

   LOAD

      Brings up a list of saved games. Highlight the desired slot, and tap the

      Enter key.

   OPTIONS

      Miscellaneous game options ...

         Configure Keys

            Permits you to customize Quake so every action is linked to the

            button or key that you prefer.

               First, move the cursor (via the arrow keys) to the action you

            wish to change. Then tap the Enter key. Now press the key or

            button you want to bind to that action. For instance, if you wish

            to use the Alt key for Jump, move the cursor to Jump / Swim, tap

            the Enter key, then press the Alt key.

               Each action can have two different keys assigned to it. If you

            already have two keys in an entry, you cannot add more from this

            menu.

               To clear the keys bound to an action, move the cursor to that

            action and tap the Backspace or Delete key instead of the Enter

            key. This will clear the keys formerly bound to that action,

            leaving it blank.

               You can bind any key to an action except Function keys, the

            Escape key, and the ~ (tilde) key. "Weird" keys such as Scroll

            Lock, Print Screen, etc. may or may not work, depending on your

            machine, but why bother?

            Attack

               Fires your weapon

            Change Weapon

               Switches to the weapon "above" the one you're now using. Wraps

               around to the axe.

            Jump / Swim Up

               If you're on land, jumps. If you're underwater, kicks you

               towards the surface. If you're right at the water's edge, pops

               you up out of the water, if you combine it with forward

               movement.

            Walk Forward

            Backpedal

            Turn Left

            Turn Right

            Run

               Press this while moving, and you move at double speed.

            Step Left

               Sidesteps (strafes) left

            Step Right

               Sidesteps (strafes) right

            Sidestep

               Press this when using turn left or turn right and you sidestep

              (strafe) instead.

            Look Up

               Lets you angle your view upwards. Your view returns to

               horizontal when you start walking forward.

             Look Down

               Lets you angle your view upwards. Your view returns to

               horizontal when you start walking forward.

             Center View

                If  you're looking up or down, returns your view to dead

                center.

             Mouse Look

                Press this to allow your mouse to look up or down (by

                sliding it forward and back), and to remain looking up or

                down even if you move forward.

             Keyboard Look

                Press this to use your movement keys to look up or down.

             Go To Console

                Brings down the Console. Also possible by tapping the

                ~ (tilde) key.

             Reset To Defaults

                Everything you've changed in the options menu is reset by

                this option. Consider it an "Oops" key.

             Screen Size

                A slider which enlarges or shrinks your view area. All

                Quake's sliders use the right and left arrow keys.

             Brightness

                Pretty much self-explanatory. Choose a brightness which

                doesn't strain your eyes.

             Mouse Speed

                Adjusts mouse sensitivity. The further you set the slider

                to the right, the quicker your mouse reacts.

             Music Volume

                Self-explanatory

             Sound Effects Volume

                Self-explanatory

             Always Run

                When this is selected, you do not need the Run key -- you

                are always at double speed.

             Invert Mouse Up / Down

                This gives your mouse "airplane-style" controls. This means

                that pushing the mouse forward "noses down", and pulling it

                back "noses up". Some people prefer this control technique.

              Lookspring

                 Returns your view immediately to straight ahead when you

                 release the look up / down key. Otherwise, you must move

                 forward for a step or two before your view snaps back.

                 Lookspring does not work while you are underwater.

              Lookstrafe

                 If you are using the look up / down key, then this option

                 causes you to sidestep instead of turn when you try to move

                 left or right.

   HELP / ORDERING

      Lists the default keyboard and mouse commands. Also contains the

      information you need to register Quake.

    QUIT

      Exits Quake at once.

=============================================================================

== TIP -- Quake saves your current key configuration when you quit, so     ==

== next time you play, you have the same configuration.                    ==

=============================================================================

C. Console

      Tap the ~ (tilde) key to bring down the console. As with the Main Menu,

   when the console is down, a singleplayer game is paused. A wide variety of

   esoteric commands can be entered at the console. If your keyboard has no

   ~ (tilde), the Options Menu (inside the Main Menu) has a "Console" option.

D. Command Line

   For special command line parameters, see README.TXT.

E. Cheat Codes

   id Software, as in our previous games, has removed all cheat codes from

   Quake.

V. THE GAME

A. The Screen

      The large top part of the screen is the view area, in which you see

   monsters and architecture. Immediately below is the Inventory, beneath

   which is the Status Bar. You can enlarge the viewing area (tap the + key),

   so much that it engulfs first the Inventory Bar and then the Status Bar.

   The - key shrinks the view area.

   Inventory Bar

      Lists ammo, weapons, deathmatch scores, and power-ups.

         The active weapon is lit up. Each weapon has a number by it -- type

      the appropriate number key to switch to that weapon.

         In addition, this gives the amount of ammo you have of each type,

      any keys you possess, and any power=ups currently active. Plus it shows

      how many and which of the four Runes you possess.

         In Deathmatch, it shows the top four scores in the game.

   Status Bar

      A vital part of the screen. When your armor, hit points, or ammo get

      low, the number turns red.

         From left to right, the big numbers represent: Armor Points, Health,

      and Ammo (of the current weapon). Icons show the Armor Type (green,

      yellow, or red), your adorable face, and your Ammo Type).

   Score Bar

      Hold down theTab key to replace the Status Bar with the Score Bar.

         This lists the proportion of monsters you've killed, secrets you've

      found, and time you've spent, along with the level name.

         In Deathmatch, the Score bar lists the top six scorers, along with

      their names.

B.  Messages

   Quake talks to you from time to time. Some messages appear at the top of

   the screen. These are non-critical, and tell you that you've picked up an

   object, or you've died in an interesting fashion. Ignore these messages if

   you please.

      Certain messages appear inconveniently in the middle of your view. These

   are always important, and you do not want to ignore them!

D Ending a Level

   Once you finish a level, you'll find a slipgate or a distinctive archway

   leading to the next level. Pass through to emerge onto a new level.

      You start the new level with the same armor, weapons, and ammo you had at

   the end of the previous one. If a power-up was active at the end of the

   previous level, it is now, sadly, gone. Make the best of it. If your hit

   points were over 100 or under 50, they are altered to 100 or 50,

   respectively. Otherwise, your hit points are unchanged.

D. Ending a Dimension

   Once you've finished all the levels in a particular dimension, you return

   to the starting hall. New dimensions are started from scratch -- you, your

   shotgun, and axe.

VI. Your New Environment

A. Firepower

   You are blessed with eight different Means o' Mass Destruction. Each has

   its place in a balanced diet.

   Axe

      The last resort. Face it  -- going toe-to-toe with the uglies in Quake

      demonstrates all the good sense of a man parachuting into an alligator

      farm.

   Shotgun

      The basic gun, to which all other guns compare favorably.

   Double-barrelled Shotgun

      A worthy weapon with three minor drawbacks: first, it uses up 2 shells

      per blast; second, it's slow; third, its shot pattern is very loose at

      long range. But in general, once you find this puppy, the other shotgun

      starts rusting from disuse.

   Nailgun

      A two-barrel dingus that prickles bad guys with armor-piercing darts,

      technically termed "nails".

   Supernailgun

      The great equalizer. Four cyclic barrels that hose out spikes like

      crazy. Pro: foes drop like flies. Con: eats ammo like popcorn.

   Grenade Launcher

      Thumps neat exploding bombs into the air. You can even bounce a grenade

      off the wall or floor.. When a grenade hits someone, it explodes.

      If it misses, the bomb sits on the floor for a moment, then explodes.

      Even though I sometimes bounce grenades into myself, this gun's still

      my favorite.

   Rocket Launcher

      For when a grenade positively, absolutely, has to be there on time.

   Thunderbolt

      Try it. You'll like it. Use the same technique as watering your

      rosebush.

   Switching Between Weapons

      If you are firing a weapon and run out of ammo, Quake automatically

      switches you to another weapon. It will never switch to the grenade

      launcher or rocket launcher, however, for reasons that ought to be

      obvious. So if you're firing away happily and suddenly switch to the

      axe, it doesn't mean you're out of all ammo -- you may still have

      grenades. But Quake requires you to select such dangerous

      explosives on your own.

=============================================================================

== TIP -- If you shoot the Thunderbolt underwater, it discharges all its ==

== cells in every direction in a single gigantic KA-ZAP, with you at the   ==

== center. Don't try this at home.                                         ==

=============================================================================

B. Ammo

   The eight weapons use four types of ammo. Each ammo type comes in two

   flavors -- small and large. The large boxes carry twice as much as the

   small.

   Shells

      For shotguns and double-barrelled shotguns. A small box holds 20.

   Flechettes

      For nailguns and supernailgunss. A small box holds 25.

   Grenades

      For grenade launchers and rocket launchers. A small crate holds 5.

   Cells

      For Mr. Thunderbolt. A small battery has 6 charges, lasting a little

      over a second.

C. Power-ups

   All power-ups except armor burn out after a while, so smoke 'em while you

   got 'em.

   Armor

      Comes in three flavors; green, yellow, and red, from weakest to most

      powerful.

   Megahealth

      Gives you 100 additional hit points. After a few seconds, all hit points

      over 100 start slowing draining away, because it's too much for the human

      frame to hold. Still, it's nice while it lasts.

   Biosuit

      lets you breathe underwater and swim through slime without harm. Does

      not protect against lava.

   Ring of Shadows

      Renders you almost totally invisible. Only your eyes can be seen.

      Monsters don't detect you unless you do something stupid. Like shoot.

   Pentagram of Protection

      Renders you invulnerable.

   Quad Damage

      Magnum upgrade! You now deliver four times the pain!

=============================================================================

== TIP -- When quad damage is activated, use the grenade or rocket         ==

== launcher with care -- their bursts are four times as deadly to you, as  ==

== well as your enemies.                                                   ==

=============================================================================

D. Bad Guys

   Quake critters are extremely tough, but you have the firepower to vent

   your grievances on them anyway. Good hunting.

   Rottweiler

      Bad, bad doggie! Play dead! -- blam! -- yipe! Good  dog!

   Grunt

      Goons with probes inserted into their pleasure centers; wired up so

      when they kill someone, they get paroxysms of ecstasy. In essence,

      customized serial killers. Easy to kill, and they tote shotgun shells.

      It's like a little Christmas each time you blow a Grunt away!

   Enforcer (registered only)

      Grunt, Mark Two. Recruits who are surlier and beefier than the rest get

      outfitted in combat armor and built-in blasters.

   Knight

      Canned meat. Open 'er up and see if it's still fresh.

   Death Knight (registered only)

      This particular canned meat tends to open you up instead.

   Rotfish (registered only)

      Disgusting little critters who dish it out, but can't take it.

   Zombie

      Thou canst not kill that which doth not live. But you can blast it

      into chunky kibbles.

   Scrag

      Floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee. Ugly as hell. They're not

      real tough, but like to bushwhack you.

   Ogre

      What's worse than a cannibal monster eight feet tall? One with a

      chainsaw. And a sack of grenades.

   Spawn (registered)

      A merrily bouncing blob as dangerous to kill as to ignore. Blech.

   Fiend

      In essence, organic buzzsaws, rife with pummeling power!

   Vore (registered)

      A spideresque hybrid horror. Keep your eye on the energy pod he hurls.

   Shambler

      Even other monsters fear him, so expect a clobbering. He shrugs off

      explosions. Good luck.

=============================================================================

== TIP -- Some weapons are better vs. particular monsters than others. If  ==

== a new monster seems real tough, switch weapons.                         ==

=============================================================================

E. Environmental Hazards and Effects

   Explosions

      Radioactive containers are in some military bases. Shooting these

      things unleashes a big boom, so be careful -- you may not want to

      stand too close in a firefight.

         Your own grenades and rockets cause explosions too, of course -- the

      blast can hurt you if you're too close.

   Water

      Safe enough unless you stay under so long you start to drown. Come up

      for air periodically to prevent this.

   Slime

      Hurts you instantly and keeps on hurting. Stay out of slime unless you

      have a very good reason to take a dip.

   Lava

      If you're quick and the lava's shallow, you might escape before you're

      burnt to a crisp,  but don't bet on it.

   Traps

      Quake has many different traps. Don't be paranoid, because traps aren't

      really very common, but be aware of their existence. Traps can't be

      classified because they come in many varieties -- monsters in ambush,

      spike shooters, crushing walls, trapdoors, etc.

    Teleporters

      These are distinctive in appearance and emit a unique sound. When you

      step into a teleporter, you're instantly transported to another

      teleporter, or atop a teleport pad. If you teleport directly right atop

      of somebody else, he or she is killed instantly.

=============================================================================

== TIP -- Monsters are smart enough not to activate their own traps, but   ==

== if you activate the traps, the monsters can get caught by them.         ==

=============================================================================

VII. Multiplayer Action

   Quake can be even more fun when you're playing with friends than when

   you're playing by yourself.

      When you are using the console or Main Menu in multiplayer, the game does

   not pause. Irresponsible players and monsters can freely shoot you, and

   your only recourse is bloodthirsty vengeance.

     The Talk function is useful here. When you talk, the message appears at

   the top of all players' screens, preceded by the speaker's name.

     To talk, press 'T' and start typing your message. Press ENTER to set

   the message to everyone.

     To set up, run, or join a multiplayer game, use the Main Menu Multiplayer

   option. README.TXT contains details that may be useful if your network or

   modem need special configurations.

A. Cooperative

   In a co-op game, you and your friends work together to finish the level.

   When one person exits, everyone else exits too, wherever they might be. If

   you are killed in co-op, you reappear at the start area, and have to catch

   up to your buddies. Use Talk to find out where they are. See the

   Multiplayer options on the Main Menu for more info.

B. Deathmatch

   In a deathmatch, play is totally cutthroat. No monsters exist, and when

   you are killed, you reappear in a random spot. After you pick up an item,

   it respawns (i.e. pops back into existence) after a while. (Some items

   take longer to respawn than others.) Every time you kill someone, you get

   a Frag. The person with the most Frags wins, so wreak slaughter amongst

   your pals!

      If you kill yourself, whether intentionally or by accident, you lose a

   Frag. This includes drowning, getting crushed, and so forth. See the

   Multiplayer options on the Main Menu for more info.

C. Team Games

   Team play is a cool combination of co-op and deathmatch. Each team picks

   a "uniform" and everyone on that team changes their color to the team

   color. The team with the most Frags wins. See README.TXT or the Main Menu

   for details.

=============================================================================

== TIP -- if you have the Team Color Rules set to No Friendly Fire, your   ==

== weapons won't hurt other players wearing the same color pants as you.   ==

== (You can still have differently-colored shirts.) Your shots still wear  ==

== down their armor, and your own grenade and rocket explosions still hurt ==

== YOU, just not them.                                                     ==

=============================================================================

VIII. Commonly Asked Questions

Q. I'm stuck. How do I get through the level?

A. Take a stroll around and look for a place you haven't been yet. Sometimes

you have to kill a particular monster in order to progress, so exterminate

them all!

Q. How can I find all the secrets?

A. Don't worry about it. You never have to find a secret to finish a level..

Also, some secrets are intentionally hard to find.

Q. I've cleared out the whole level, but my monster kill score isn't 100%.

Where are they hiding?

A. Some monsters hide inside secrets, or are released by them. You won't be

able to kill those monsters until you find their secrets. Also, some monsters

might  lurk underwater. Good fishing.

Q. Don't you worry that Quake teaches people that all problems can be solved

by the misuse of deadly force?

A. No.

Q. Did I really see two monsters fighting each other?

A. Probably. Some monsters hate one another almost as much as they hate you.

You can use this to your advantage (exercise left up to the reader).

Q. How do I prevent motion sickness when watching Quake?

A. If you're one of the unlucky sufferers from motion sickness in Quake,

we're sorry to say the answer seems to differs from person to person. Try

sitting closer to the screen, or further away. Dim the lights in your room,

or turn them up high. Adjust screen brightness up or down. Take a break from

Quake and rest your eyes every hour or so. One or more of these tricks, or a

combination, ought to work.

Q. Are you guys Satan-worshipers?

A. No.
