Quake1 Beta Shots

Consideringthumb_062100_q1beta_10.jpg (1632 bytes) the massive interest in those Quake3 beta screenshots, I figured we'll make it nostalgia week here. I dug up these screenshots of the early Quake1 betas, circa 1995! Mmm.. I remember when these came out. Drool! You can also check out the attached document written by John Romero.

The cool Quake lighting can be seen in all these screen shots and a couple sprites and an Alias model as well. We don't have any Alias models working in the game at this point, but we're >this< close to getting them fully implemented with movement, proper light sourcing and animation. Screen q6.gif has our dragon hovering above a bridge above a moat. <snip>
