I thought Quake was excellent.  Did you head into the areas where you
have to dive underwater and come up in the cavern for air?  That was
pretty slick.

I don't really know how much farther they could have pushed the title
graphically, as the single-CPU PC can only do so much.  It's funny,
but the PlayStation version will have access to nifty hardware, but be
hobbled by an extreme lack of RAM.

The answer: Quake-M2
