I guess he dropped it all the way, I don't remember any green slime in Quake. Or anything else green, for that matter. In fact, he could have phrased that task with only the first two words.

  Maybe for the German version? When I was a game dev in the 90s we had to create a separate "green slime" SKU for Germany. https://wiki.ncac.org/Video_Game_Censorship_in_Germany#:~:text=Video%20games%20in%20Germany%20cannot,including%20the%20removal%20of%20swastikas https://wiki.ncac.org/Video_Game_Censorship_in_Germany#:~:te....

  You don’t remember Quake at all then or are confusing it with something else. Slime was abundant, it’s showcased along with the bio suit in E1M1. It has a tremendously distinctive player injury scream. The ever famous: “Player can't exist on slime alone” death message. The whole game is sort of greenish and brownish. Like 90% of the textures have a vomit green aesthetic.

      The water is brown, the slime is a very desaturated green but it is definitely a green hue.

    You could stand to calibrate your monitor, I'm thinking. Your basic Quake slime was the color of oatmeal. There was a bluish-green acid as well, but it wasn't as common as the oatmeal-flavored slime.

      Perhaps you are confusing the water for slime and the slime for acid, which quake 1 did not have. There was nothing called acid, what it was always called (as stated BY THE VERY subject document here) was slime. Quake 1 had 2 instantly damaging fluids/textures slime and lava. That is literally what they are in the source. What a weird discussion, disputing a document that was written 25 years ago contemporaneous with the subject. There’s no misremembering here and this document trumps yours or anyone’s memory. https://quake.fandom.com/wiki/Slime_(Q1) https://quake.fandom.com/wiki/Slime_(Q1) https://quake.fandom.com/wiki/Water_(Q1) https://quake.fandom.com/wiki/Water_(Q1) https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aid-Software%2FQuake%20acid&type=code https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aid-Software%2FQuake%20aci... https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aid-Software%2FQuake%20slime&type=code https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aid-Software%2FQuake%20sli...
