Quake revolutionized fps games
Ape Escape was the first PS1 game to require the dual shock controller
I'd argue that quake did far more for 3D graphics then it did for FPS. Like Doom is what got FPS into the spotlight even though Wolfenstein 3d came first. Like quake is pretty much what made real 3D possible and doable on the hardware of the time thanks to everything going on under the hood
That may be what I was thinking of. I actually never played Quake, I just knew it was groundbreaking
