I struggle out of the lake into yet another subterranean tunnel. I crawl up the steps. But I can hear them coming. I'm wet and cold, and I'm all out of ammo. Software's Quake, the follow-up to their mega hit Doom, really can make you feel as if you're actually in a hellish nightmare world.
Quake is one of the first games to have built-in software to let it run over the Net.
Mike Wilson, id's Vice President of marketing, is well versed in online gaming. Quake was designed with the idea of creating the best multiplayer game possible. Wilson believes that much of this expectation has been down to the fans. There were more than 75 Web sites and newsgroups dedicated to Quake long before its release. All we did was keep in touch with them as much as possible to update them with new info.
