Quake Official Archive

The goal of this project is to archive all versions of all official Quake releases.

Here, "official" means updates and dev material by id Software (e.g. public HTTP and FTP sites, etc.), sanctioned ports (e.g. MacQuake, LinuxQuake, AmigaQuake, etc.), staff of id Software (e.g. skin packs, map sources, sketches, etc.), and sanctioned mission packs and mods (e.g. Hipnotic, Rogue, QuakeWorld, etc.).

See quake history essays that reconstruct the technical release history for quake files.
