Collectibles: Quake E2M2 Archival Print

100% of profits go toward the creation of the Romero Game Design Museum in Galway.

Game: Quake 1, 1996

Map Name: Q1E2M2

John Romero created Quake 1’s E2M2, The Ogre Citadel, single-player map. It’s the second level of The Realm of Black Magic and is a large and heavily defended fortress. This map was the first look at Quake’s second episode (the E2M1 map was a base map). The design is that of a castle with a moat surrounding it. The castle’s interior is two stories. The end of the map is shown on the right side as a single room, but when the map was created, that wasn’t good enough so the end is a large jumping effort to get to the exit.
