About this episode
The episode discusses the legacy and impact of id Software's Quake in the context of 3D shooters.
Daydreamcast is here to make your legs quake and make you go crazy. We drop into id Software's first 3D shooter following their success with DOOM. The name Quake is known far and wide in the annals of Boomer Shooterdom, but it's never enjoyed a contemporary revival like it's older siblings DOOM and Wolfenstein have. Is there a reason it's churning madness of speed, gothism, and explosions has been left behind?
