Quake

Somewhere in the base, there must be a teleporter to Quake's realm.

The mission is clear: take the fight to the enemy, overcome countless hordes of monsters, and exact revenge. id Software's follow-up to Doom and Doom II , Quake is a first-person shooter.

Its main technological innovation is the use of a true 3D engine - the levels themselves, as well as the enemies, are polygonal.

This not only allows for more natural level-designs and character animations, but also for more realistic lighting and the inclusion of simulated physics that have an effect on gameplay: grenades can bounce off walls and around corners, for example.

In single-player mode, gameplay consists mainly of proceeding through the levels (spread over four distinct episodes) in search of an exit, killing everything that moves.

Interaction with the game world is reduced to a minimum: since there is no use key, buttons are pressed by running into or shooting at them.

As in id's earlier games, many secrets are waiting to be discovered, including a few hidden levels.

Unlike Doom's rather straightforward design that couples futuristic environments with demonic imagery, the theme of Quake's levels, enemies, and weapons is not so easily pinpointed.

While each episode begins in a futuristic military base (with a technological 'slipgate' as the level exit), later levels take place in environments inspired by medieval fantasy and gothic horror (castles, dungeons, and caverns) and the player passes through magical portals to advance.

In a departure from Doom's colorful environments, all Quake levels are dominated by earth colors.

The enemies conform to the mishmash of designs: there are human opponents armed with shotguns and energy weapons in the earl
