The new Quake, dubbed by fans as Quake Renaissance, is a re-release of Quake but in a slightly modified state that makes it work on modern machines and today’s online multiplayer systems. I’m sure some obscure games beat it to the punch, but Quake set the benchmark. All first-person shooters before Quake were 2.5D sprite-based systems, and Quake was the first to render proper 3D environments. And by ‘new’, I mean the re-release of 1996’s Quake – the granddaddy of all 3D shooters.
