You play a space marine very much alone on the Strogg's home planet after a massive troop drop goes horribly wrong. While a sequel in name, Quake II's story had little to do with the first game in the series. Quake II's game engine was once again far ahead of anything else commercially available, and the full version of the game was released to the public on December 9, 1997. The demo contained the first set of levels from the single-player game, and contained no multiplayer support. As with the first game, a technology demo was released prior to the commercial release, on October 19, 1997, at an unannounced online IRC party. Quake II was the highly anticipated sequel to id Software's revolutionary Quake.
