Thanks for pointing that out. A product record exists, but we have no releases or downloads for Quake. I should probably just remove it.

https://archive.org/details/msdos_Quake_1996
https://archive.org/details/Quake_802
https://archive.org/details/msdos_Quake106_shareware
https://archive.org/details/tucows_8601_Quake_2
https://archive.org/details/QuakeIiiArenaDemo
https://archive.org/details/QuakeII_1020
https://archive.org/details/quakeshareware
https://archive.org/details/cdrom-quake-shareware
https://archive.org/details/abandonware_quake3_arena
https://archive.org/details/QuakeIiiTeamArenaDemo

Whoa. That's a lot.

You may be able to add some of this stuff to the Library. Take a look at it and tell me what you think.

Quake is still being sold.

Don't the older versions/shareware episodes qualify as abandonware though?

No.

Steam:
Classic Quake titles
Quake 4

GOG:
Quake: The Offering (Quake I + mission packs)
Quake II Quad Damage (Quake II + mission packs)
Quake III Gold (Quake III: Arena + Team Arena)

I don't want to repeat myself, but do the SHAREWARE versions specifically count as abandonware?

Shareware can be freely distributed legally.

Shareware and demos are free to distribute, everything else isn't.

Shareware isn't the same as abandonware, by the way.

I know that. I think I was just being a bit unclear :?

What I meant is that would it be okay to contribute shareware/demo versions of Quake here or not. If so, which items in my list of links (see above) specifically would be okay?

Thanks.

Think about what you just said. The program you want to distribute is shareware. Shareware is meant to be distributed.

I understand now.
