Description-en: science-fiction-themed first person shooter
Quake 4 is a first-person shooter game by Raven Software and id Software,
released in 2005. This package contains a launcher script and menu
entry to play Quake 4 using the proprietary x86 binaries provided by
id Software.
.
Please note that the Quake 4 engine is not Free Software, and Debian
cannot fix any bugs or security flaws in the engine or game code.
.
To make this package useful, you will need to create and install some
non-distributable packages by using the game-data-packager package:
quake4-bin, and either quake4-data (for all regions except Germany)
or quake4-censored-de-data (for the incompatible version sold in
Germany). Creating those packages requires data files from a Quake 4
installation or DVD.
