If you're into action games, and even if you're not, you should be playing Quake right now - it's as good as PC gaming gets.
Satan, your game has arrived. It spits up blood and pisses vinegar. It sprouts horns from its head like the proud minion of evil that it is. It shoots lightning bolts, for cripes' sake. It's a game of pure evil. And even purer entertainment. It's also the best action game on the planet.
The graphics, sound, and intelligence factors combine to make a game that will scare the hell out of you! The main problem that Quake seems to have is a lack of identity. It wants to combine "DOOM" elements with Hexen elements which creates a mish-mash effect.

Com certeza é o PAI do FPS Moderno! Talvez os mais jovens não compreendam bem isso, mas este não é um jogo com TONELADAS de regras "fúteis" que a indústria tem despejado nos últimos anos. Não precisa fazer um curso, é só instalar e jogar!! =)

Quake is not just another 3D shoot-em-up game. It's a whole new level of gaming. The amazing performance and features of Quake are the future of gaming. Whether you are new to this type of game or you are an old "Doom" hack, you will fall in love with Quake.

Quake isn't destined to revolutionize action games, but it's a very good first-person shooter from the guys who invented the genre. [October 1996, p.150]

The shareware version before you buy this. Good, but it doesn't quite live up to the hype.

Enemies are bullet sponge and guns feels weak. You waste your entire ammo and enemy still stands. Axe is useless. Most enemies are annoying and frustrating to fight.

On prend les mêmes et on recommence... sauf que John Carmack l'inventeur du genre "first person shooter" propose cette fois un "Doom" intégralement en 3D et basé sur une nouvelle technologie qui donnera naissance (sous licence) à toute une série de FPS plus ou moins divers, variés ou avariés dans les années qui suivront... Le moteur "Quake" était donc très impressionnant avec par exemple une gestion de la lumière en temps réel que les cartes graphiques d'alors avaient bien du mal à rendre sans suer à grosses gouttes : tirer une roquette par exemple illuminait le couloir comme une torche se déplaçant à très grande vitesse... Une option qu'on laissait souvent désactivée parce que ça ramait sévère... En tout cas, le jeu était très beau avec l'accélération OpenGL, un standard qui permettait une compatibilité avec toutes le cartes du marché. En théorie. Là, avec ma Voodoo 2 qui a grillé sans en avoir l'air il y a bien des lunes, impossible de profiter de l'accélération, car la Geforce (une FX5900 déjà trop récente) ne propose évidemment aucun support sous DOS. Et si quelques stagiaires ont développé un "winquake" pour Windows 95, ça ne marche qu'au petit bonheur la chance. Il est clair qu'il vaut mieux utiliser un DOSbox mais même en rendu "software", Quake reste étonnant, quoique singulièrement terne. C'est que même accéléré, Quake ne brille pas forcément par sa direction artistique peu variée mais assurément glauque et sombre : un assortiment ballot de marrons et c'est tout... Les armes et les monstres en tout cas -toujours aussi vindicatifs- ainsi que la nervosité et la vitesse du jeu font toujours leur effet, de même que la violence générale ! Reste que le jeu en question est comme Doom, sans but, sans histoire, son "univers" n'est pas bien développé (ou pas développé du tout) et que vous êtes toujours le "maître des clés" qui a perdu toutes ses clés et qui erre dans les niveaux tarabiscotés sans carte ni boussole comme un clochard bourré à la 8.6. Censé être bourrin, Quake vous fait tourner en rond les trois quarts du temps, pour ne pas dire plus... Plus une démo technologique qu'un jeu véritable donc, intrinsèquement limité et trop vite ennuyeux.

Arm yourself against the cannibalistic Ogre, fiendish Vore and indestructible Schambler using letal nails, fierce Thunderbolts and abominable Rocket and Grenade Launchers. [id Software]
