    The real legacy of Quake is in the metagame rather than the game itself.

      Except they ate and chewed and left no crumbs boots. Trentina reznor? I’m dying for a remaster with that original soundtrack

        I played the hell out of the shareware version, and begged my dad to get the full game , at which point I blazed through all the difficulties. It was the first game that I eventually 100%ed. I was psyched to get it and be able to play it on steam and was surprised how much I remembered.

        Mostly for nostalgic reasons, it’s one of my favorite games of all time.

          If you like video game history you might enjoy this video from Vox. Quake’s custom keyboard mapping settings (unique for the time) was a big development in gaming. One gamer’s personal settings config became popular and ultimately established the WASD control scheme that has been basically the standard since.

            I still prefer EDSF, but I remember skating in deathmatch using the arrow keys and ctrl, alt to fire, on my 36k modem

              Quake 2 is one of the best games ever made.

                  I remember playing Quake 2 in the dorm at university. This was right as everybody was getting LAN access in their room. Absolutely nostalgic.

                    Quake and Quake 2 were the beginning of a turning point in my youth which Half-Life would eventually complete. The rapid transition from someone who tried to use arrow keys to move and couldn’t navigate directories, to a WASD player on early broadband, craving new Mods to install and funny entity collision glitches to exploit for laughs. I am forever thankful for the first hand experience of what players could make with someone else’s game engine. Action Quake, Threewave, original Team Fortress…. I’d be a completely different human being without these and those later from HL, like TFC, DoD, CS, Sven Co-op, Action HL, Wizard Wars, Etc.

                      wait they don’t have warcraft I/II ? Blasphemy

                      Heroes of Might and Magic?

                      Or just Might and Magic?

                      They have WoW but not UO??

                      M&B, Fallout I/II, AoE…

                      All of these are genre-defining games. Bro do you even game?

                        I’d go for Dune 2 over Warcraft, but Warcraft was influential in its own way.
