Quake 3 is currently free-to-keep on the Bethesda launcher, but only if you log in before the promotion expires. Amazing gameplay, gorgeous graphics, the greatest, slickest multiplayer scheme ever developed and amazing sound effects combine to provide the ultimate, indispensible gaming experience. The installers makes it easy to get started with this it downloads the shareware versions plus some other additions such as updated game clients, skins, textures and have a decent default config etc.

Both QuakeWorld and Quake 2 have the nQuake installer and 'Quake 2 starter installer' that can be used for multiplayer/online using the Shareware version of the games.
