not a bad game
by Black Ninja Black Ninja, 2021-09-03

This is the best way to play the original Quake on Chrome OS. Sure, it may be a little bit laggy and sometimes may crash, but who cares? Everything that made the original Quake a legendary FPS game is in this port. The graphics, the music, everything. Of course, they couldn't get the full game of Quake on Chrome OS for free because distribution of paid content for free is considered piracy. While Bethesda was out here remastering Quake, someone took their valued time and effort to port the original Quake onto another system, and it is completely running off of JavaScript. Bethesda needs to learn from talented people like these. Sure, seeing Quake in a new remastered form is pretty cool, but seeing a complete port of the original Quake from 1996 is a legendary advancement in the computer world. Every game company needs to learn from these kinds of talented people, and stop re-releasing/remastering the game with a new engine. I only played for five minutes and I am already hooked. Sometimes, the Chromebook isn't that bad, because you get awesome stuff like this. Well done! Please keep doing stuff like this.
