Decided to start a separate thread
So Ive owned Quake since it was released (got it for Christmas 1997 when I was 11) and I probably play through it once every 2 years since.
But somehow all this time Ive never done a deep look at all the amazingness Lobotomy put into it. I feel they kind of went all out with extras compared to Duke Nukem.
Random cheats
In the US version you can use a cheat that I only found via one of the programmers old gamefaq posts where you can have it rain on every level with an open area. Really cool effect that is otherwise only in the 1 secret level.
Comic
The US version also has a comic called Dank and Scuz which I actually found randomly on my own when searching for 100% secrets. Its pretty funny and it was actually taken from a fan project created for the PC version around the same time.
Apartment Level
Anyway in the US Version if you beat the game with all of the secrets 100% which I just did the credits sequence takes place in one of the developers apartments. The PAL version automatically gives you this ending even if you dont get all the secrets. The US version goes to level 2 during the credits otherwise. Probably why I never knew about this apartment thing
However if you enter a Action Replay code in the US version before you start the game, you can actually play in the apartment level! So cool, I dont know how I never knew this and there isn't much data on the web about it overall.
Sorry for the bright pictures, hard to take them on a CRT
Its pretty cool even though its just a small level. There is an ogre with a Lobotomy shirt watching TV, a pizza, a dog sleeping and a bathroom down the hallway which when you enter will start you at level 1
