Technically respectable Saturn port of Quake for the console. Oppressive darkness well rendered, acceptable framerate. Clearly inferior to PC version but the essential id Software feeling is preserved. For game fans without PC access.

Is Quake still worth playing in 2026?

A Saturn port of id Software's cult FPS, Quake was done by Lobotomy Software, who reworked the engine to run this 3D hell on the machine. The oppressive mood, the maze-like level design and the snappy pace of shooting stay striking, transposed with a technical success remarkable for the console. The lack of mouse aiming and a few graphical compromises date it. A porting feat for fans of retro FPS and the curious about technical conversions on Saturn.
