"To call id Software's Quake groundbreaking is like calling a Ferrari fast. Sure, it's accurate, but it doesn't really paint the proper picture. Bringing fast, 3D FPS gameplay to the table, Quake blew the doors off of the game scene, technologically. Interesting level design was a good start. Creating some of the most memorable monsters in gaming helped too. Giving the world its first real taste of what multiplayer gaming could be? That should've been the icing on the cake." - GameSpy
