It can be found here Read the reviews, check out the screenshots, and then write down the file name if you want it, and head on over to and find it. Feel free to add your additions, corrections, opinions and comments in this thread.Īnother way of finding good maps is in the archives of now defunct sites, my favorite being Single Player Level Heaven, where he only posted levels that he really liked. This is just one point of view and I don't claim to know it all. There are enough good single player maps to last the average person a lifetime.

More total conversions can be found at the QuakeTerminus mod gallery: X-Men: Ravages of Apocalypse is a total conversion. Very different, although I admit I am not really into that type of play. Prydon's Gate is an RPG quest style total conversion. QMatrix which is a Matrix conversion and is very nice. I'm no expert on this subject, but some examples:

In addition to standard old school single player, there are mods and total conversions. JoeQuake is available in the Win and GL varieties and is a more flexible and newskool Quake with nice features like a maps menu and, like FitzQuake, has higher entity limits than regular Quake. It is an increased capacity engine, capable of handling more entities, sounds, etc. It is an improved single player engine with more options in the control panel with improved rendering and higher limits than GLQuake while remaining faithful.ĭarkPlaces is a graphically enhanced client with countless of options in the control panel. My favorite Quake client is JoeQuake because it has a built-in maps menu, otherwise taking the pain out of single player.įitzQuake is an improved GL client that is the engine of choice by many in the mapping community. This is sticky subject because everyone has their favorite Quake client. This site is run by the Spirit and also features map ratings on many maps.

Some other sites with a great many high quality map reviews:Īnd a site where new listings are frequently posted, discussed and even developed:Īnd a site with no less than 1000 single player maps serving as archive so files do not get lost. It is currently updated, meaning new maps get reviewed there from time to time, and they have a section called the Hall of Fame, where the reviewer has selected what he feels are the best maps and episodes ever made based on consensus, feedback via email and other sources. In my experience, the best source is the Underworld site: The main trick is finding quality single player maps and episodes to play. Some Examples, most from Quoth because they were readily available:

Some maps use only the standard Quake monsters, some maps employ many new monsters such as eels, archers, mega enforcers, spiders and even dragons. Many maps do not actually fit squarely in any category. This is hardly an exhaustive list but among the numerous categories of custom maps:

Map making tools have improved, custom monsters have been created and a great deal of painstaking care and play testing have gone into newer maps.

The fact is, there are many map makers (and teams of map makers) of that have made maps and custom episodes that truely are vastly superior and more entertaining than the original Quake episodes. One of the best things about good custom single player maps is exploring a new landscape or environment. Every corner has been explored, you've 'been there' and 'done that'. It is that you've played those maps a thousand times. It is not that Quake single player is bad, you probably liked exploring it the first time. If the only single player you have played is the single player that came with Quake, you've been missing out.
