Common Tropes in Quake[edit]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trope_(literature) says "The word trope has also come to be used for describing commonly recurring literary and rhetorical devices, motifs or clichés in creative works."

There are many tropes in Quake and its countless custom maps and mods, for example:

  • A horde of zombies right before the player gets the grenade launcher
  • Moving platform over lava
  • Seeing a pickup behind bars or otherwise unreachable at the moment
  • Red demon face texture shooting nails
  • Putting stuff/secret behind the player at his spawnpoint
