Quake -yes, it's Doom III

Building on all the originality and flair of Doom and Doom II comes i.d's next big thing: Quake. And guess what? you get to shoot things. If you want to try it it's on the net at http://www.idsoftware.com for a free two level trial.

It's not finished yet but this hasn't stopped certain individuals waxing lyrical about it. "When you hit a character with a shotgun blast or a volley of nails, he jerks back in a shower of pixellated blood". That's terrific. "Best of all, if you fire a rocket at close range you can often reduce a Deathmatch opponent to a satisfying pile of bloody body parts" . Marvellous. "The sheer range of deaths in Quake should be worth the asking price on their own". Of course.

That's the considered opinion of the "journalists" on PC Format, (May 1996) doing all they can to debunk the myth that gamers are a really just a bunch of inadequate little boys.
