Once again, we've brought you the pick of the latest new Quake levels and upgrades.

Remember, these patches can only be used with the registered version of the game, not the shareware version. You'll need to have some familiarity with copying files, creating directories and other Windows/DOS operations in order to use these patches.

Before you can use a patch, you'll need to unzip it with Winzip. You'll find this in the Essentials collection on the coverdisc.

All the patches and levels include text files, which you should read before attempting to use them. All the patches work in slightly different ways, but we've tried to include only the simplest ones.

Generally, to use a 'prog' patch - that give you new weapons and opponents - you first create a new directory in the Quake folder. Then, copy the patch into the directory and unzip it with Winzip. Finally, launch the game by typing quake -game xxx, where xxx is the name of the new directory.

To use a new level, create a folder called Maps in the Id directory, which is in the Quake folder. Unzip the new level into Maps and then run Quake. To access the new level, go to the Quake console and type Map xxx, where xxx is the name of the new level.

Once again we remind you to look at the help files. Remember, these are not commercial products!

You'll find the new levels and patches in the QUAKE directory of the CD.
