This Day in Gaming 🎂

In retro news, I’m letting a Shambler’s lightning spark this 29-candle Quake cake I baked. It was, of course, id Software’s grim and gothic first-person shooter that forever changed how we thought about online fragging.

Back in 1996, when very few Aussies were dialling directly to one another on screeching 28.8 modems, Quake’s fully 3D world and terrifying monster roster truly felt like “slipgating” into the future of gaming. Its murky castles, fiendish traps, and relentless pacing carved a permanent place in my heart and phone bill. I’d done the same with Doom II, but, for many, it was their first taste of online deathmatch or a LAN party that stretched long into the night. Quake wasn’t just a game; it was a proving ground, one that still echoes in the DNA of shooters today.

Aussie birthdays for notable games.
