FastQuake?

[seacat17]

So we got 32X resurrection, we got Saturn patch, we got FastDoom... We're running Doom on hardware it couldn't run on back in the day.

Quake pretty much killed Cyrix because it relied on Pentium-specific features.

I wonder, what if we had FastQuake? A port of Quake for DOS that is just generally more optimized, allows enabling affine texture mapping for more FPS, and can lift more load onto GPU if you have one, to get playable frames even on something like 386.

I don't know why I'm asking, I literally don't even have any old computers to begin with, I'm just curious.

Dang, I knew NOTHING about this and there's literally NO tests or videos involving 486quake. I might give it a try in box86, tysm <3
