Played from a first-person perspective, Quake sends players through dark labyrinthine stages filled with switches, colored keys, traps, and hostile monsters. Weapons gradually expand from shotguns to explosive heavy arms, and survival depends on strafing, dodging projectiles, and managing health and ammo. The Nintendo 64 version includes a single-player campaign and local split-screen multiplayer, with level layouts and progression tuned for the console experience.

The player character, a lone space marine-like warrior sent into hostile dimensions to fight monstrous forces.
Strategy
Learn each map’s shortcuts, key doors, and supply locations before rushing forward. Prioritize ranged enemies, use cover when crossing open spaces, and save rockets or stronger weapons for tougher monsters and cramped ambush rooms. When ammo is limited, rely on mid-tier weapons against weaker foes. In multiplayer, controlling armor, powerful weapons, and respawn routes gives a major advantage.

Tips and tricks
- Take out dangerous projectile enemies first before cleaning up melee threats.
- Watch for wall switches, colored key doors, and hidden supplies off the main route.
- If health is low, kite enemies and fight them one by one instead of charging in.
