->''"[[VideoGame/QuakeI Quake]] was the last collaboration between [[Creator/IdSoftware id Software's]] two Johns, [[Creator/JohnRomero Romero]] and [[Creator/JohnCarmack Carmack]], before Romero went off to make VideoGame/{{Daikatana}} out of [[DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible mousetraps and semen]], and Carmack proceeded to craft VideoGame/QuakeII out of [[SoOkayItsAverage stale Weetabix and paste]]. Quake I finds the happy medium, and illustrates why they kinda needed each other. That [[ShockAndAwe lightning gun]] that murders you [[AwesomeButImpractical if you use it in water]] definitely smells of Romero, but at least there's [[ImpossiblyCoolWeapon some imagination on display]]. The [[RealIsBrown color scheme]] and [[CutAndPasteEnvironments repetitive levels]] were probably scraped up from the Carmack tarmac, but the gameplay is [[BoringButPractical characteristically solid]]."''
