What Quake is

Quake is a shooter game developed by id Software and released in 1996. It was published by clickBOOM. It is available on Zeebo, Sega Saturn, Amiga, DOS, Legacy Mobile Device, Linux, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on id Tech 2.

The premise, in the publisher's words

The player takes the role of a protagonist known as Ranger who was sent into a portal in order to stop an enemy code-named "Quake". The government had been experimenting with teleportation technology and developed a working prototype called a "Slipgate"; the mysterious Quake compromised the Slipgate by connecting it with its own teleportation system, using it to send death squads to the "Human" dimension in order to test the martial capabilities of Humanity.
