Quake

Game » consists of 17 releases. First released on Jul 23, 1996

The much-anticipated follow-up to Doom, Quake was one of the first games to make use of fully polygonal graphics and hardware acceleration, and is often credited as the point of origin for many lasting trends in the FPS genre, such as standardized mouse look and the WADS control scheme.

Quake is 15 years old today
