There's this game from Poland that also came out in '99 called Pyl that's probably cutting it close. The setup program it came with was for windows and it had a Glide renderer as well.

This also works with vanilla DOS and WinQuake (and presumably GLQuake) as well on period correct hardware, as long as the server's NetQuake protocol is set to 15. So theoretically every client from 1996 to today can connect to an FTE server!

Game studio announcements be like, โ€œWe laid off all your favourite devs! But donโ€™t worry, all the people actually responsible for the horrible decision-making that led to this massive failure are staying on :) and they will still be driving their new Porsches :) all is well!!!!!โ€
