    Playing Quake is like living a horror movie. The game simply gushes atmosphere from every slime-coated, ambient lighted, gothic architectural artery.

    I knew there was no way Quake 64 could pull off a control scheme as fluid as my PC setup. But it comes close, and I have to give it credit for that.

    Despite its flaws, Nintendo 64 owners looking for the Quake experience can't go wrong with this game -- if for single-player mode alone. However, seasoned Quakers looking for the ultimate multiplayer game may want to rent before they buy.

    But be forewarned. If you are expecting to get the same experience that you've been hearing about from rabid PC gamers, you aren't going to get it. Quake for the PC was an okay game made great by the superb online options and an open architecture.
