If you are like me and like to toy around with ancient game engines, for the sake of simply modding or trying things out, I made this tiny clean fork: https://github.com/klaussilveira/clean-quake

The idea is that it builds on 64-bit Linux with a very simple Makefile and SDL2, so you can start from there as your ground truth, and then have fun. It also removes a lot of cruft, like all the DOS and Windows 95 stuff mentioned in the article.

Get qengine too for Quake2. Similar to Chocolate Doom/Hexen and clean Quake.

qengine is one of my things too! :)

software renderers are so much fun.

It is WinQuake or QuakeWorld?

[klaussilveira]

WinQuake. Or, well, NetQuake as it is known.

“NetQuake” was primarily used to distinguish the original network code from the predictive model of Quakeworld, which came out a little while later.
