It also adds features from similar games at the time (such as vertical camera tilting, manual jumping, swimming, and easier control customization). It had early support for hardware 3D acceleration through OpenGL, and is believed to be a catalyst for the modern GPU industry. The game expands on the 3D game engine used in Doom, bringing full-3D polygonal graphics and full-3D level design (rather than 2D blueprints) into the traditional first-person shooter genre. Along with its gritty atmosphere, the game is known for its atmospheric CD soundtrack by Trent Reznor (the front-man for the industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails). Through the use of an experimental teleportation technology (known as the 'Slipgate') from overrun military bases, the protagonist must traverse through various dimensions across time and space (each filled with dark magic, hellish beings, and eldritch horrors) to acquire magic runes and take on the mastermind itself (which is revealed to be the elder god Shub-Niggurath). The successor to id's 1993 game Doom, Quake puts players in the role of a lone unknown US soldier on Earth as he fights the mysterious and hostile extra-dimensional force codenamed 'Quake'. The first episode was originally released by id as shareware on June 22, 1996.
