The goal of this project is to archive all versions of all official Quake releases.
Here, "official" means by id Software (public FTP), staff of id Software (e.g. map sources and sketches by John Romero after he left, etc.), and affiliated mission packs and mods (e.g. hipnotic, rogue, quakeworld, etc.).
See quake history essays that reconstruct the technical release history for quake files.
