About This Game
The N64 version of Quake was developed by Midway Games as a console-exclusive adaptation, featuring completely rebuilt levels optimized for the platform's capabilities.
This port introduced new weapons like the Laser Gun and included exclusive multiplayer maps not found in the PC original, taking advantage of the N64's 4-player split-screen capabilities.
Despite hardware limitations, the developers managed to preserve Quake's signature fast movement and vertical gameplay while implementing a unique control scheme for the N64 controller.
The game features a new soundtrack composed by Aubrey Hodges, creating a more atmospheric experience compared to Trent Reznor's industrial score in the PC version.
