Quake is a first person shooter developed by id Software and was originally released for DOS computers in 1996. It was subsequently brought to a variety of other platforms including the Sega Saturn in the following year. The Sega Saturn version of the game was converted by Lobotomy Software and published by Sega.

Quake stands as one of id Software's most successful and milestone among first person shooters. It popularised the use of 3D models in FPS titles (as opposed to using 2D sprites and "2.5D" environments as witnessed in Doom), as well as pre-rendered lightmaps, an engine which could be modified by the community and several important advances in network multiplayer.

The sequel was not brought to any Sega system, but was ported to the competing N64 and Playstation. The third part of the series, Quake III Arena, was ported to the Sega Dreamcast.

Versions

The Saturn version of Quake was handled by Lobotomy Software. Rather than running on the Quake engine like other ports, Lobotomy chose to use their own custom made 3D engine made specifically for the Saturn labeled "Slave Driver". This is also the engine used in other PC-to-Saturn ports such as PowerSlave/Exhumed and Duke Nukem 3D, though Quake is the only game to use fully 3D objects and enemies.

The Saturn port has four exclusive levels named "Purgatorium", "Hell's Aerie", The "Coliseum" and "Watery Grave" at the expense of some secret levels. The 3D Control Pad can also be used for more precise control. There is no multiplayer mode of any kind in this version. Predictably the Saturn hardware restricts the screen resolution to 320x240 and makes cuts in both polygon counts and texture sizes. Walls were added to guarantee less geometry is rendered in certain sections, causing minor adjustments to the level design.

Curiously under the ESRB system for North America, the Saturn version of the game is the only version to have received a "T" as opposed to "M".

Technical information

Save data

Quake makes use of the Saturn's internal battery back-up as well as the Saturn Backup Memory to save data for progress. To load and save data from the Ram Cart, the save file must be created on the internal battery back-up first, then moved over via the Memory Manager.
