Does anyone else remember the very original concept of Quake, as explained in the "Previews!" option in the main menu of the first Commander Keen?

  As our follow-up to the Commander Keen trilogy, Id Software is working on "The Fight for Justice": A completely new approach to fantasy gaming. You start not as a weakling with no food--You start as Quake, the strongest, most dangerous person on the continent. You start off with a Hammer of Thunderbolts, a Ring of Regeneration, and a trans-dimensional artifact. Here, the fun begins. You work for Justice, a secret organization devoted to vanquishing evil from the land! This is role-playing excitement!

  And you don't chunk around the screen. "The Fight for Justice" contains fully animated scrolling backgrounds. All the people you meet have their own lives, personalities, and objectives. A 256-color VGA version will be available (smooth scrolling 256-color screens--fancy that)!

  And the depth of play will be intense. No more "whack whack here's some gold." There will be interesting puzzles and decisions won't be "yes/no" but complex correlations of people and events.

  "The Fight for Justice" will be the finest PC game yet.
