Just finished the new expansion (Dimension of the Machine). That was awesome. I kinda wish they had used some guns/creatures that weren't in the OG campaign (like the alt-fire modes and some of the better monsters from the OG expansions) but overall it was great.

I'm enjoying it well enough, but Arcane Dimensions truly spoiled me. It's tough for any new quake to come close to that.

Can Arcane Dimensions be played with the new Steam release? And if so, is it just a case of downloading it and dropping it in the right folder?

Not in any convenient way, you'll have gamesys and string issues. You'll need to use a source port like (
https://triptohell.info/moodles/qss/) Quakespasm-spiked, (
https://github.com/Novum/vkQuake/releases/tag/1.11.0) vkQuake or Darkplaces.
Extract the source port somewhere, copy the
id1 directory (from the original Quake dir) and
music directory (from the remaster dir) there, then extract the contents of Arcane Dimensions to a directory named
ad. You can launch it by calling "game ad" from the console or simply create a shortcut that appends
-game ad to the .exe call.
EDIT: added links.
