Reviewer: Amadeus - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - July 1, Subject: The golden era Like its predecessor, Quake represented a paradigm shifter in multiple aspects.

Only a few select offerings by gifted individuals can lastingly influence whole genres, or even create new ones, and Quake, alongside Doom, was perfectly matching multiple tough criteria in their relevant "eon" - render-ing them timeless classics. In early , when id software was still king of the hill, most of the PC Scene was seething with anticipation of what "the next big thing" would be.

This NeXT iteration of awe did not only excel at the conceptual technical level but also in the way it was implemented on "contemporary machinery" - the Pentium. While Doom had as its core technical novum from an implementation perspective a few assembly procedures plus mainly C code rubbing itself somewhat close to the s strengths, Quake made far more serious effort to designate the emerging as its ultimate platform.

None else than the 90ies "dream team" of computer graphics, John Carmack and Michael Abrash, rolled up the sleeves and put all of their expertise, into this colossus of, now legacy, 3D game technology.

And be it by just glancing over the code or seeing Quake run one just had to emit a sigh of wonder. But what would be the most elaborate technicality without highly competent craftsmanship being able to transfer the competence of the inner workings. Verbal fluff aside - Quake rocks! It's a good to great SP game but what really makes it "tic" is the multiplayer aspect. All potential that somehow can be felt in SP explosively unravels when you enter MP and are swept away. I recently played it on LAN and its as good as ever.

Btw, if you haven't already check out QTest to see what was available to the public as an alpha for LAN play back in 96 - I can still remember walking down these halls on my Pentium60 back then Reviewer: dennoman - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - April 9, Subject: Quake was a revelation was a magical year. Millennials know nothing about this. But for us first-person-shooter veterans it was a revelation.

QUAKE actually made me by a new computer to compete with the game requirements. We were not dissappointed. The game story was dark and sinister and took place in a huge, castle like building with different portals to start from. Armed with advanced weaponry and vehicles and aided by an elite squad of marines, you take the battle to the heart of the Strogg home planet and become Earth's only hope for victory.
