Quake
This article is about the original video game. For the series as a whole, see Quake (series). For other uses, see Quake (disambiguation). Quake is a first-person shooter computer game that was released by id Software on June 221996. It was the first game in the popular Quake series of computer and video games.The majority of programming work on the Quake engine was done by John CarmackMichael Abrash, a program performance optimization specialist, was brought in to help make the software rendering engine fast enough to be feasible. The game design and layout was done by John Romero. The sound effects and music for the game were composed by Trent Reznor, of Nine Inch Nails (within the game, the ammo box for the nailgun has the Nine Inch Nails logo on it in reference to this). Quake was released just as the Internet was commercially coming of age, and much of Quake's popularity arose because it was one of the few games of its kind playable over the internet rather than just a local network.
