when will QUAKE be made for OSX

Hi,
I have trawled the internet looking for any signs of a new version of quake for osx. I do have quake running on osx but it's getting a bit dated now. I have tried to fill the gap with Halo, Unreal, MoH Spearhead but none of them even get close to the playability of Quake. I find them much too slow in comparison. However I love the use of vehicles in the other games and some of the maps are excellent.

But give me QuakeIII + longest yard map + a few mates and I'd choose that against any of the other games - any time!

Quake 3 was out for Mac OS X couple years ago if not more! What are you talking about? Or could that be that you are asking about Doom 3? That game, according to iD will be out when it is done...

I have a patch for os9 Quake III so it runs on os x but there isn't a boxed Quake for os x, is there?

There just doesn't seem to be any development on the quake front

you download that and add .pk3 files from any quake version (windowz, mac, linux).

that is the latest. works as fast as windows version

No there is no boxed version of q3a for os x. It's not as bad as it sounds. Ones you know how to install it. It is easy. At the front of every comp usa store, there are huge cubes, lined with bargain cd software. On one of the cube q3a pc is there. It's sold for ten dollars.

If you have any trouble figuring out how to install q3a for os x. I would recommend going over to www.quake3world.com. Ones there check out the macintosh forum facts. It include a step by step guide, with picture, to install q3a. It's 5 steps long. And each step is clearly outlined, and it'll take you all of 3 minutes to do.

I've heard that Quake 3 Gold shipped with an OS X version. It's the boxed version that contains Quake 3 Arena and Team Arena. I don't have a copy of that version of the game so I can't say whether or not that's true.

edit: I just looked at id's site and the system reqs seem to say that an OS X version is not included on CD.

For what it's worth, I have Quake 2 for Mac.
It's been a few years though, I can't swear it's OS X compatible...
