the fuhquake looks like it has bots and a bunch of added maps and
whatnot, as well as, perhaps, a "refresher" tutorial so I can
customize the look like I did in the past, since I can't remember what
I did 7 years ago with my "almighty" autoexec.cfg file?

yes, I used to play quake (and q2 and q3) a ton, and i lost
everything, haven't even considered firing it up in ages, and now i'm
gonna be stuck in a big metal box in a desert with nothing but a power
cable and a laptop, for a year, so I'ma refresh my love for the entire
quake world by packing my HDD with every damn map I can find for
quake, q2 and q3, and running against the bots, playing single player,
etc

is there a doggone "hey dummy, this is how you do this, REMEMBER?"
type FAQ for the quakes?

damn I have some refreshing to do...

also, is equake basically just fuhquake with a bunch of added stuff? so if
i got equake, i'd get fuhquake, plus a whole lot more?

I just need to have basic quake 1.08 installed, right? Other than paying
planetquake a fee to download something that should be free (since I own
Quake1), where can I get 1.08?

thanks a bunch.

Oh, for a selection of some of the best maps out there, try
http://www.planetquake.com/peek/ or http://www.planetquake.com/gonzo/

Plus I think for variety you should bring Unreal Tournament (plus many added
maps), UT2003, Starcraft Broodwar, and other games.
