10 Industry-Defining Video Games That Are Nowhere To Be Seen

10. Quake

For a large number of people, especially to older gamers, Quake was the FPS of the late 90s and early 2000s. With its fast-paced run-and-gun, Doom-style gameplay and revolutionary polygonal graphics, the original was a huge hit when it was released in 1996. In fact, Quake almost single-handedly inspired multiplayer game modes - LAN parties came about basically because people wanted to play it together.

The series has had some pretty blockbuster mods over the years as well; the first being modded so heavily it spawned an entirely different game. The Team Fortress series was based on an original Quake mod, and you don't need to be reminded how successful those games became.

However, it has diminished in popularity over the years, and whilst it spawned a few more instalments which hardcore fans play to this day, it has never quite regained the popularity it once enjoyed. The most recent title in the series was Enemy Territory: Quake Wars in 2007, which was a fairly generic FPS in a market saturated with them. 

The series will always be remembered as iconic for its gameplay, its technological advances in gaming - and for popularising the rocket jump. Not a bad way to be immortalised.
