Is there any way to increase the speed other then ctrl+f12 and ctrl+f8 in dosbox?? I can run any other game smoothly ,but Quarantine plays at a slow crawl no matter how many cycles there are.

I am now playing at level 4 the whaft. I had a quest telling me to bomb the water tanks. However when I almost reach the destination using wayfinder, I am only reach 0.20 km, so I just eject the bomb.
It did not explode at all and I had failed the quest.

Anyone reach this stage or is there any ideas or tricks to bomb the water tanks ?? :blink:

Just managed to knock myself and get a close distance of 0.14km and bomb the stupid water tanks.

Yeah, had completed the game and enjoy the ending.Here are the codes for the levels.

1. Omnicorp is all knowing
2. Keep the opressor opressing
3. The meek shall inherit zilch
4.Have you had your hydergine today
5.Kemo city a nice place to visit

NOte : there is no captial letter so dun worry

:brain:

Quarantine is a very good game, even though it was released 10+ yrs ago, I still cannot find another game can replace it or just like it (GTA is quite similar to it but in GTA, you do not own your own car to upgrade it, and you need to get out of the car frequently and do something just like other first person shooting games do)

But why such a good game do not have its next generation?

I think the idea of Quarantine is very unqiue and interesting, I wonder if any game publisher will consider to bring the new Quarantine to us.

I hope not. With the usual quality of the games released today, a new Quarantine would suck badly compared to it's classic predecessors. Besides, it's not the same mood today in the game industry as it was back then. Quarantine is an offspring of Doom games, and the violence in it is always displayed in a comical, non-serious way, even if it's a black humour. Remade today, Quarantine would be just plainly gory, boring and join the ranks of trash software of which there're countless numbers today. A good idea can't be remade ever the same again, it only shines once and everything that follows will lack it's originality.

Yup. I agree with you. Just like QuarantineII, which is not as interesting as it's predecessor. (Anyway, the publisher and developers were changed)

But there is still exception, just like Fallout2 is as good as Fallout. Of course, I really hope the coming Fallout3 will be as same as Fallout2~

hi there guys, just a couple of questions about quarantine (one of best games i ever played back then)

What engine is quarantine using? i thinks it's some version of doom engine?

is there any way of creating/editing levels (the kemo city)?

is there any way to at least convert quarantine levels to some other format (eg. quake bsp)?

P.S. i tried some doom1/2 level editors, they don't work :-(

thanks in advance

I never realized that there was a part 2 of Quarantine.

But this most certainly is a very unique and atmospheric game (and needs to be redone if you ask me).
The post-apocalyptic (Escape from L.A.) setting is just great. I got as far as level 4 or 5 in which most of the neighbourhood was on fire. I remember going underground after each level, and killing mobs, and a drive-thru cinema in level 1. Very good stuff, this.
