Besides id’s previous games, Quake is one of my all time favorite shooters from the 90s. The history and background of this game is super interesting. It also marks a big shift for id software. The soundtrack is amazing, and it opened a total new world of music for me back in the days.
Let me know if you need support for a podcast episode on this one.

Great idea. I’d also like to play that again – maybe this time I’ll be able to finish it 😉

Didn’t know that was possible in Settlers 2. I always played alone.

How did that work though? Was it a split screen game? Must have been weird with the low resolution at the time.

Makes sense. Obviously id software left quite a mark in the 90s.

Quakes soundtrack is massive. One of the first games with a full soundtrack on audio CD. And created by a major music artist, Nine Inch Nails. That was new and certainly isn’t common today either.

No worries, I can wait ;).

I’d also really like to hear a review of this game in one of the upcoming podcasts. Played it so many hours in the mid-90s. Such a great game. Graphics (with the version that offered enhanced textures) were amazing for the time – great soundtrack too.

Unfortunately Lucasarts never made any other space flight sim after Tie Fighter that holds up to it. All current Star-Wars-themed flight simulations focus on multiplayer.

Just heard a few days ago that a remake is is the making:

Such a great game. Please do a review of it. It’s awesome. Played it on the Atari ST with a friend throughout a whole summer and later on PC.
