15 best gaming graphical greats

Quake (1996)

DOS
This is still a great first-person shooter, even if it may look pixelated now. From the graphical creators of Wolfenstein and Doom, this was the PC’s first fully polygonal 3D shooter to incorporate pre-rendered light maps that held a theatre of entertaining characters, weapons and stories. The Quake engine, as the graphical infrastructure was named, was largely open source leading to fan made spin-offs like Team Fortress – a popular online game that helped grow internet multiplayer gaming numbers.
