		Quake was able to overshadow almost all 3D-shooters at the time, including Blood and Duke Nukem 3D, both based on simpler 3D requirements and sprite-based characters.
		Quake popularized several major advances in the 3D game genre: it uses 3-dimensional models for players and monsters instead of 2-dimensional sprites; and the world in which play takes place is created as a true 3-dimensional space, rather than a 2-dimensional map with height information which is then rendered to 3D.
		Quake did have the option of using the mouse to look/aim/orient ("mouselook") and the keyboard to move forward, backward and sideways, but it was not the default until Quake II was released.

	10th Anniversary Quake Expo
		Quake Expo 2003 didn't allow Quake 2 and many in the engine communities boycotted the expo as a result, even though Quake Expo had been envisioned as a Quake-only event.
		Quake is a bizarro roulette table, we took a gamble and found perpetual community and creativity (as opposed to Pascal's attempt to create perpetual motion and ended up creating a gambler's device).
		Quake was developed in a bit of an indie atmosphere, and with the attitude of allowing creativity to blossom, even more so than was allowed with Doom and what happened via level hacks for Wolf3d.

	Quake 4 Review for PC at GamingExcellence
		At the finale of Quake II, the Strogg home planet is in ruins after an Earth assault by a lone soldier who managed to infiltrate the Strogg defenses and destroy their collective brain, the Makron.
		Quake 4 is a definite improvement over previous releases, focusing on a more “objective-based” model, but it still isn’t as dynamic as say Half-Life 2.Where Quake 4 shines is in the tactical team-based attack formations.
		Quake 4 is a very solid release, the biggest setback is simply that it “feels” like every other first person shooter released in the last few years.

	Quake (series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Quake II 3D Engine Information
		Quake developers took 3D graphics techniques for generating still images and developed them into the Quake engine so that they could be used to generate true 3D environment on a 2D device in real-time.
		The Quake II engine like the Quake engine is a true 3D engine, that is, (almost) everything in Quake is represented by x, y and z coordinate in a 3D space.
		Quake II was a 3D engine that built on the original Quake engine in attempting to produce realistic environments in real-time.

		The Quake engine also used Gouraud shading for moving objects, and a static lightmap for nonmoving objects.
		It was later upgraded to the Quake II and Quake III engines.
		On December 21, 1999, John Carmack of id Software released the Quake engine source code on the Internet under the terms of the GPL license, allowing programmers to edit the engine and add new features.

		My information about the Quake 2 BSP format was all learned by a lot of experimentation in implementing my own Quake 2 BSP renderer along with examining source code for Quake-like engines generously released into the public domain by their authors.
		A Quake map is carved up into convex regions that become the leaves of the BSP tree, and anytime the camera is positioned within a level it is contained in exactly one of these convex regions.
		The variation of BSP tree Quake uses is actually both; the reason for this is the dual use of the BSP tree in both rendering and in collision detection.

	News - id - "Let them eat Quake" /// Eurogamer
		Now id have lifted the lid on this previously neglected part of their business with a new "id technology licensing program" that takes in all three generations of their Quake engine.
		The jewel in id's crown though is the Quake III Arena engine, which will set you back a cool $300,000 and is only available to a "small number of exceptionally high quality licensees" for PC and Dreamcast.
		With two Quake 3 engined games already released ("FAKK2" and "Elite Force") and at least three more ("Alice", "The World Is Not Enough" and "Return To Castle Wolfenstein") in the works, this adds up to an impressive $1,500,000 for id Software even before the per unit royalties kick in.

		The Quake 2 engine was, and still is a very popular engine.
		Creator of this engine is John Carmack, as all the quake engines are, and is his best yet.
		One point to note is that the quake 2 engine wasn't really optimized for any hardware, but even now we see todays chips push out 120fps+ at a high detail level, something the quake 2 engine just can't do at a very high detail setting.

	Gamasutra - 'Educational Feature: A History and Analysis of Level Design in 3D Computer Games (Pt. 2)'
		The move into a fully three dimensional world with Quake was probably as momentous an occasion as the release of the original Wolfenstein 3D or Doom, a turning point in the development of three-dimensional first person titles.
		That is not to say that the engines were simply plug and play, but that programmers were spending more time modifying the engine to suit their needs, instead of designing whole new engines from the ground up.
		Unreal engine based projects, on the other hand, use a subtractive model, where the world starts full and level designers create empty spaces to serve as rooms, then add other geometry as details, much like a sculptor whittles down a block of clay or marble to create a sculpture.
