When compared to the brightly illuminated space stations and colonies of the DOOM trilogy, Quake was set in a dark fantasy land filled with demons and eldritch abominations, making it stand apart. The first-person shooter genre is ascribed to DOOM and Wolfenstein 3D, but Quake was the first game to employ 3D images since previous games (including Duke Nukem 3D) utilized 2.5D visuals to provide the misleading appearance of a 3D world.

The original Quake has been recreated for PC and consoles and is available today, so it’s time to rocket leap in 2021.
