CV> I agree with all who believe that quake is a BIG dissapointment. From
CV> What I read it was supposed to play respectably on a 486dx2 66 (which
CV> is what I have) and support the new vesa 2.0 (wich duke 3d does) for
CV> ultra fast graphics. WRONG! It's graphics engine hogs the cpu big time
CV> and even with FPU support (math co) it fails to match the speed of Duke
CV> 3d! I can play duke3d in the second resolution setting on my 66mhz 8mb
CV> ram 1mb video at the speed of doom! But quake runs at a wimpy 3-4
CV> frames per sec! I know poeple with 33mhz 486s enjoying Duke 3d while
CV> even a 486 dx4 100 huffs and puffs to meet quakes stupidly huge
CV> graphics commands! And the graphics still aren't better than dukes! So
CV> for all those saying Quake rules! duke 3d is old news! I say BULL!
CV> Duke3d has the gold! And barnyard Nukem will make full use of duke 3d
CV> fast and efficient build engine! p.s. Will you quake people stop
CV> sending me mail! WE WILL NOT CHANGE THE PROJECT TO BARNYARD
CV> QUAKE!!!!!!!!  
Ditto! And I was wonderin` if ya still needed anybody for anything with 
Barnyard...
