   Excellent find!

   My favorite part:

   “In Quake you’ll fight, say, three monsters at the max. Probably you’ll fight three guys, but it’s going to be like a virtual fighter.
   (…)
   “All you had to do was press the button – you move the mouse and press the button – and it’s as easy as that. In Quake, you’ll have to really kill things. You won’t just press the trigger and hit it, you’ll have to really beat the living shit out of the thing until it’s dead.
   (…)
   “You’re going to have to work on it. You won’t just have this arrow point-and-click kind of thing.”

   This is what can make all the difference between Quake and some derivative thereof.

   Thank you scar3crow.
