    Cyclone III is not supported on 14.0 or higher. Quartus version 13.1 is the newest version that supported Cyclone III.

    well, that's bad...

    It depends on what chips you want to use. In general, older chips need older Quartus versions. Right now I have 3 versions on my PC. Somewhere on Altera's web site (sorry I don't remember where) there is a document that lists the newest version that supports various families. Try to locate that if you need details.
