The Sega Saturn port of Quake was apparently the first official console port of id Software‘s classic 3D shooter. And, while it plays quite well, it looks kinda ugly.
Saturn Quake was developed by Lobotomy Software and published by Sega in 1997.

Arcane Dimensions, PC
This groundbreaking Quake mod was first released in 2015 and it has gradually increased in stature since. It’s an amazing achievement, and still incredible to play now. If you like First-Person Shooters and have never tried Arcane Dimensions before then I urge you to give it a try.
Persona 5, PlayStation 3
Persona 5 was developed by “P-Studio” and was published by Atlus in Japan and North America, Deep Silver in PAL territories, and Sega everywhere else, in 2016. It is a Role-Playing Game set in contemporary Japan, featuring monsters, the occult, and the supernatural. Oh, and turn-based combat (but don’t let that put you off).
Arch Rivals, Megadrive/Genesis
Arch Rivals is a conversion of the Midway arcade game of the same name, and it’s a good one too. The Megadrive version was developed by Flying Edge and published by Midway in 1992.
Eight Man, Neo Geo
Eight Man (aka “Eightman” aka “8 Man“) is a one or two-player scrolling beat ’em up based on Kazumasa Hirai‘s manga and anime character of the same name, who is considered one of the earliest Japanese cyborg superhero characters. The game was developed by Pallas and published exclusively for the Neo Geo by SNK in 1991.
Dune II: The Battle For Arrakis, PC

Mr. Driller 2, Game Boy Advance
A conversion of the arcade game of the same name, Mr. Driller 2 works brilliantly well on the Game Boy Advance. It was initially released in 2001 by Namco.
Rampage World Tour, Arcade
The 1997 sequel to Rampage is as good – if not better – than the original. Rampage World Tour features Ralph, George and Lizzie returning to monster duties in more of the same, excellent, city-smashing, three-player action.
Terminator 3: The Redemption, GameCube
Developed by Paradigm Entertainment and published by Atari in 2004, Terminator 3: The Redemption is based on the Terminator 3, the film, while adding in some new scenes as backstory. Gameplay is mostly third-person shooting or driving, interspersed with pre-rendered cut scenes and on-rails shooting sections.
