-----written in Quake era-----
GLQuake:
special version of quake (.exe file) that offers better graphics
if you have a compatible 3d video card. not all 3d video cards support
OpenGL
(Zanshin's def),
which is needed to run glquake. the
3dfx
(Zanshin's def) voodoo
chipset, used in cards such as the monster 3d, is often recommended.
glquake provides effects that regular quake does not have:
shadows, reflective surfaces, transparent water, and better texturing.
the newest version of glquake
offers a bit of colored lighting and better performance.
Check out the
3dfx faq
and Zanshin's
GLdojo.

VQuake:
specially modified quake that enables players
with compatible 3d cards to have enhanced graphics.

-----current-----
GLQuake is no longer necessary, as Quake II's exe has both
a software renderer and a GL engine. VQuake, for Verite chips,
was a "mistake," commented id's John Carmack.
