Happy 30th Quake 1. This is the game that made me definitively a PC gamer. There is something about this unique combo of Lovecraftian/eldritch horror, dark ambient Nine Inch Nails music, fluid and fast movement, and depressing atmosphere that stands the test of time. I still put Trent Reznor's Quake 1 theme as one of the best intros to a game ever. The moment it plays, you're put into a trance. If you know you know. This is the one game I risked a lot of punishment for. In high school, I had network admin privileges and I installed Quake 1 in the back row of the computer lab where "the boys" and I would play deathmatch while our should-be-retired teacher droned on about C++. This was when 56k modems were the norm so playing on super low ping and seeing my friends' reactions in real time was an incredible high. Little did we know that Quake 1 would spawn the beginnings of eSports, multiplayer client-server architecture, WASD, and usher in the era of accelerated graphics cards. I eventually got caught where I vividly remember my teacher saying "Ahem, what is THAT?" and had my privileges revoked. Needless to say I didn't ask that teacher for a letter of recommendation. Perhaps there is a game that you too were willing to risk a lot for and hopefully there is a game that sticks with you for 30+ years like Quake 1 has for me.

It's 1996 and I'm playing Quake. It's 2006 and I'm playing Quake. It's 2016 and I'm playing Quake. It's 2026 and I'm still playing Quake. *cracks open the boom juice* it's good to be old.

The soundtrack & SFX were created and recorded by Nine Inch Nails, including all of your characters' grunts, groans, screams and gasps. Making this the only video game where you play as Trent Reznor.

A lot of old games, even classics, end up becoming dated, whether it's because of technological advances, changing audience expectations, or developments in game design theory. They were "good for their time", maybe even exceptional, but hard to go back to today. Quake isn't one of these games; despite being 30 years old this year, the game remains as polished and responsive as the day it was released. It's good without qualifiers, and in 2026 is still more genuinely, honestly fun than most modern shooters of the last 10 or 20 years. The lighting and art direction means the game still looks good despite the low-poly models. The sound is impeccable. Controls are responsive. The game is fast, both in terms of performance (you can load it and be in a game in ten seconds from zero, and there is even a settings option to turn off opening cutscenes without having to manually rename or delete the files) and in speed of gameplay. The 2021 remaster touches up the graphics a little and adds some minor QOL tweaks (like achievements, a mod database, and mouse control of menus), and also includes the original Trent Reznor soundtrack that wasn't included in some other digital releases of Quake. It also includes both of the original official expansion packs and two new ones designed by the remaster developers. Dimension of the Past is the more amateur of the two, and features a lot of hard slogs through some ill-advised enemy placement, but Dimension of the Machine is beautifully realized, with a large variety of evocative new environments and excellent level design. The original gameplay mechanics are untouched even in the remaster, but if you really want to play the original versions without any changes at all, those are also included. This is a big step up in customer-forward design from remasters which try their best to pretend the originals didn't exist and prevent players from using or accessing them. (Note for achievement hunters: there is exactly one PvP-focused achievement, but it can easily be gotten in single-player deathmatch with bots. None of the achievements require multiplayer or other difficult-to-arrange circumstances.)

Quake is still a caffeinated fever dream of shotguns, rocket jumps, and enemies who absolutely deserved it. Somehow it feels faster today than it did in the ’90s, and Steam heroically keeps this ancient relic 100% playable on modern PCs. No summoning circles or floppy disks required. Proof that great games don’t age, they just respawn.
