    As far as shooters in the classic "DOOM" style go, this one is extremely fun.

    2021, while you have been an absolutely horrid year (at least for me personally, I hope everyone reading this has been having a much nicer year), at least you know how to come through with a pleasant surprise on a rare o... Read Full Review

    Classically Trained

    When I bought my first computer (a second-hand Pentium 100 with 32MB RAM, from a school friend) it already had Quake installed. So, of course, I played that. A lot. A really, really lot. I was the first of my friends to ... Read Full Review

    Kudos to Lobotomy for this extremely ambitious port, which, as it happens, isn't half bad.

    Ah, Lobotomy Software. They were quite simply some of the most talented Sega Saturn game developers of their time, yet they only developed three games: Exhumed (PowerSlave in the US) and the Saturn ports of Duke Nukem 3D... Read Full Review

    The Genre Defining FPS

    DOOM May Have Created The FPS Genre, But Games Like Marathon, Elder Scrolls Arena, And, Most Notably, Quake, Helped Enhance The Genre. Quake Is Relatively Simple. It Drops You Into A Well Build Series Of Enviroments, Ma... Read Full Review

    Grab a nailgun and blast through 32 levels full of 3d mayhem.

    If dark and creepy is what your going for than this is the BEST shooter in town. If blasting zombies who throw gore at you this is the Best shooter for you. Or if you like busting through doors and spamming grenades this... Read Full Review

    Quake is a pure pixilated fun.

    Quake is by far my favorite classic FPS. It has excellent gameplay and is not as confusing as DOOM. Gameplay: 9/10 The gameplay is really nice once you customize the controls to how you like. The game is really ... Read Full Review

    John Romero's last words.

    First online multiplayer available game and it's fun even if you don't have internet.

    Graphics: like just about every other old(ish) game that's popular the graphics are bad in comparison to today's standards. Although this was one of the first games to use an engine that uses full CGI models instead of d... Read Full Review
