Wow, I had no idea you were such a seasoned veteran of this game, pix!
My first impression at the time was about the same as yours. I was playing a lot of Duke3D, and by comparison Quake just looked brown and bland. I was also an insufferable teenage so-and-so that thought anything that was hyped or popular couldn’t be good. Add to that the fact that I didn’t have a machine powerful enough to play Quake, and it ended up totally passing me by.
I don’t think I’ve played more than about 5 minutes of Quake in my life – something I’m looking forward to remedying this month!
