    Anyone know where to get the original quake for macOS? I've played a dozen or so experimental versions with things like panoramic rendering, but you need an install of the original to play more than 1 or 2 levels. Neither Steam nor GOG appear to have a macOS playable version, unfortunately.

      It'll take some doing, but the GOG version of Quake (Quake: The Offering) comes with the ISO for the release they ship. It's pretty much Vanilla quake, so don't worry about the subtitle. You can install that via DOSBox and then copy out the id1 folder for use with a sourceport. Most still active sourceports support MacOS, I believe.
