Quake Shareware 1.01 problem

[Rush2049]

A while back, I got the Quake Shareware CD (The one with the fancy package) at a local thrift shop. I was all excited to play, and then I see that it's only the first level. I looked on the internet and found a thing called Qcrack. I found an FAQ, but when it says

4. Run the QCRACK.EXE program with the Challenge code as the first parameter.

Example: Challenge Code: Q23 349 539 202
You use : QCRACK Q23349539202

I don't know how to put in the Challenge code into the program, as it doesn't let me type in it. How do I do it? Where do I enter the challenge code at?

Welcome to the Quake One forums


Piracy is something we do not condone here! Stop asking how to crack your shareware software!

More then likely what you are trying to do won't work anyway. You are better off buying Quake for the small price of $9.99 off Steam or possibly Amazon!

We aren't software crackers, hackers here, we are Quake players, modders, mappers and programmers. We respect Quake and attempt to make Quake better! Not crack shareware Quake.

You're better off asking your question on a site that deals with that type of thing.

Lol! That's the dumbest 1st post I've EVER read!

Wonder what port Qcrack opened...

I un-installed WindowsXP.32 with Ubuntu linux

Rush2049... (sanfransisco Rush2049? I was the best at that arcade game!)

It sucks that you only got the first level, how about trying out the Quake Shareware Setup Beta located on this very site! That should have the whole first episode, something like 7 levels total.

I wouldn't recommend downloading cracking tools as many people tend to disguise trojans as such programs and you wouldn't want that!

When you install the shareware version you can unlock it AFTER you purchased a validation code, this was the shareware way. Qcrack is a keygen for Quake back in 1996 to fake a shareware key. Very old, very silly since you still need the other files, ie pak1.pak

Nobody's going to tell you how to crack the shareware CD. This isn't that kind of site.

Do you know that you probably get the full game on eBay or off Steam for about the price of a beer or two? Legal, above board, no dodgy software on your PC, no opened ports, rootkits or keyloggers installed, and your liver will thank you for it.

Go on, you know you want to.

Shoot, he might even get some integrity!

Yeah, it's San Fransisco Rush 2049 (Second Best game ever, lol.)

And I meant first Episode, not level. Sorry for the confusion. Well, thanks for all the help guys. I guess I will try to find a full copy of the game. And I may hang around this forum for a while, seems like a nice place to chat. And i'm going to stop trying to crack it. Don't want to get arrested.

Quick Question: Do you guy's also do Quake 2 servers, mods and such? I haven't looked around here enough to find out. (EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out for myself.)

This site is called QuakeOne.com for a reason.

You must suck at Googling ...

<baker censors his own obvious Google search link>

No I am not saying that stealing the game is ok. It is not.

I'm just saying we all get to sort ourselves out by how we go about things. I'll let you figure out your own path ...

Nothing prevents you from buying the game for a measly $9.99 off Steam. It is what an honorable person will do.

If he didn't have a chance to read it, it doesn't matter.

True, he wouldn't know what to do anyways.
