Did they have that in doom? I always used the arrows...) turned you right and left. You had to hold alt to strafe, and I think you could also bind buttons to strafe, but I'm not sure.Of course, in both of those games you couldn't jump or look up or down, either, so the controls were actually quite a bit different.I'm not sure about their contemporaries, like Duke Nukem and Marathon, but I'd imagine they were similar... Never played Marathon, and I don't have any memories of Duke Nukem. :/The first game I personally remember where strafing was the default left/right action was Starsiege: Tribes, which of course was quite a bit later than Quake but I didn't play Quake for a while after it came out. At the time I hated that and changed it to turning, like I was used to... I can't imagine doing that nowadays. Even playing Doom is practically unbearable with the default control scheme.</blockquote>
