I doubt this is Quake in 1995. Maybe WinQuake / QuakeWorld / GLQuake, or even Quake2. * It looks like Visual Studio on a post-Windows-3.x GUI, which means Wind

I doubt this is Quake in 1995. Maybe WinQuake / QuakeWorld / GLQuake, or even Quake2.
* It looks like Visual Studio on a post-Windows-3.x GUI, which means Windows 95 (unlikely) or Windows NT 4+ (1996 or later)
* Quake was developed on NeXTSTEP and DOS.
* John Carmack blogged (well, as close as you'd come to it in those days) that he was going to start looking at Win32 in the "near future" on Jul 1, 1996: http://www.team5150.com/~andrew/carmack/johnc_plan_1996.html#d19960701 http://www.team5150.com/~andrew/carmack/johnc_plan_1996.html...
