ok, this is making me nuts, i wanna play Doom and Quake on Linux!! (not Doom or Quake 2 or 3 but the originals i played in DOS a like 3 years ago) but all i can get is the source,
Could you post the URL at which you found the source code for these games? That is fairly interesting in itself.
The source for both games can be found at id's site: ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/source Note that this is the source for the game engines, only. You would still need the data files from the shareware or full versions to actually play them.
iv never installed from source before, can anyone tell me what site they downloaded and how they installed and started playing these games? i mean i really wanna buy em but well, im still learning and stores here have neither game. Any help would be much appreciated, so if anyone could help me get Doom and or Quake installed on here id appreciate it alot.
I'd suggest doing a search over at Freshmeat, which pulls up a few ports of each to Linux.
