The game's engine was renowned for its ability to create a fully polygonal three-dimensional world, populated with enemies and objects constructed using the same polygons and all animated smoothly, at a time when most games still used sprites in some fashion, such as for enemies or pickups. Of course, the story was once more just a basic framework for an adrenaline-packed onslaught of vicious monsters to be blown apart.Īs id Software's follow-up to Doom, this game is another big step forward in their graphics capabilities. The player, now the last surviving member of his unit, must single-handedly blow them all to bits.
The game has the Heroic Mime Protagonist (called "Ranger" in Quake III: Arena) going through four worlds collecting lost runes to fight against an Eldritch Abomination after a military experiment into teleportation went awry and caused an interdimensional demon invasion. It was also released on Sega Saturn (December 2, 1997), Amiga (January 1, 1998) and Nintendo 64 (March 24, 1998). An Open GL version was released on January 22, 1997, while a version tailor-made for Microsoft Windows was released on March 11, 1997. It began development as a free-roaming RPG, but it switched to a First-Person Shooter, like id's previous series, Doom. Quake is the first game in the eponymous Quake series, and was released on July 2, 1996, for MS-DOS.
