Quake 1 DC Conversion Complete
Titanium Studios out of Perth, Australia, has converted Quake for the PC onto the Dreamcast! However, do not expect this game to make it onto store shelves anytime soon, it is only for promotional purposes. However, here is the info straight from TS’s website:
QuakeDC is a port of Quake to Dreamcast that we did in some spare time. It is fully functional except for networking and took just a week and a half to complete. Not too bad considering the number of things that needed dealing with: converting OpenGL code to Direct3D, new file I/O, performance issues, complicated controller support, compacted savegames on the VMS amongst many smaller issues. In fact it represents about as far as we could go without modifying the content (which we couldn’t distribute) or making significant improvements to the engine.
Perhaps this will encourage PC developers to get their titles over to Dreamcast, with the ease of porting over that is involved. A week and a half? Wow…anyway, some QuakeDC pictures can be seen here.
