Quake is a first-person shooter computer game that was released by id Software on June 22, 1996. It was the first game in the popular Quake series of computer and video games.
The majority of programming work on the Quake engine was done by John Carmack. Michael Abrash, a program performance optimization specialist, was brought in to help make the software rendering engine fast enough to be feasible. The sound effects and music for the game were composed by Trent Reznor, of Nine Inch Nails (within the game, the ammo box for the nailgun has the Nine Inch Nails logo on it in reference to this). Reznor's work was one of the first major efforts to bridge the gap between "mainstream" musicians and gaming, and his title screen song has become famous even among the most casual fans of the game. Quake was released just as the Internet was commercially coming of age, and gamers were graduating from local bulletin boards to the global online community.

The One And Only
Besides the graphics, the gameplay was highly addictive. I can remember playing for 12 hours straight on some days. Quake was also one of the first games that introduced me to online gaming. The countless mods and maps that were created for Quake earn it another medal on top of already being a kick ass game.
Rating : 9/10
