NAME
       quake - classic first person shooter

SYNOPSIS
       quake [WRAPPER-OPTIONS] [ENGINE-OPTIONS] [ENGINE-COMMANDS]...

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the quake command.

       Quake  is  a  popular  first-person shooter game that appeared in 1996, released by iD Software.  This wrapper script will launch the Quake
       engine.	The game data needs to be installed independently using the 'game-data-packager' program, and by default it will be looked for	at
       /usr/share/games/quake.

       This  wrapper  script  accepts the two common GNU-style options to get information on the program.  Any further arguments are passed to the
       engine unmodified.  Consult the engine documentation for full details, but most engines support a syntax whereby engine switches  are  pre-
       fixed with a minus sign, and you can give console commands by prefixing with a plus sign.  See the examples section for some common cases.

OPTIONS
       These options are accepted for WRAPPER-OPTIONS in the synopsis.

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

       -v, --version
	      Show version of program.

EXAMPLES
       These are all engine dependent.

       Play the Zerstoerer mod:
	      quake -game zer

       Play a specific map using the Drake expansion:
	      quake -game drake +map sludge1

       Connect to a server for multiplayer:
	      quake +connect dm.quakeone.net:27000
