OVERVIEW The series is somewhat unusual in that its focus changes frequently; ''Quake II'' has nothing to do with ''Quake {Link without Title} '', and ''Quake III Arena'' has little to do with its predecessors, as well. This is mostly due to the fact that ''Quake II'' was originally supposed to be an entirely different franchise ("''Quake II''" was a tentative title), a plan which was shot down when most of the names id Software had tried to use instead were already taken. ''Quake involves a marine travelling through alternate dimensions to prevent a demon invasion from occurring; ''Quake II'' involves an assault on an alien planet as retribution for them attacking Earth, which is entirely unrelated to its predecessor. Most of the subsequent entries in the ''Quake'' franchise follow ''Quake II'', not ''Quake [1 ''.
