So Slashdot has informed us that Quake is 10. Thats pretty cool. Whats even cooler is this wikipedia entry, and accompanying picture that shows the quake engine and its offspring.
Long live the King.
“Late on 22nd June 1996 Quake was uploaded to cdrom.com’s archives in the form of 7 1.44MB floppy disk images. Though it wasn’t until the 23rd that everyone realised (or at least, that’s my excuse for being a day late with the news submission). Cue much aggravation on the newsgroups as eager downloaders experienced glorious 2 FPS gameplay.”

I was about to say that Dark Forces was missing from the tree. Maybe it should be on here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_forces

Yeah but isnt that from Doom.. not Quake? Granted Doom3 comes from Quake..but Doom the engine preceeded Quake… and was not a parent.
