Quake 1

Wikipedia wrote:Quake is a first-person shooter video game that was released by id Software. It was the first game in the popular Quake series of video games. It was released on June 22, 1996.

Quake is a FPS Medieval [I wouldn't say the monsters are...but some are..also the levels fell medieval IMO] based game with guns using ID Tech 1 [supposedly.......doom engine says it's ID Tech 1....wateva]
Maps are generally in Q1BSP format [other engines are capable of other bsp formats such as Darkplaces.The basic winquake is just capable of loading ONLY Q1BSP]

Also Quake can be used with a number of different ID Tech 1 nock off engines
(in order to use these just put them in your Q1 folder]
Here are a list of the ones I know:

FitzQuake
ProQuake
Darkplaces[Recommended for PC users]

Quake 2

Wikipedia wrote:Quake II is a first-person shooter computer game developed by id Software and distributed by Activision. It is not a sequel to Quake; it merely uses the name of the former game due to id's difficulties in coming up with alternative names.[2] The soundtrack for Quake II was mainly provided by Sonic Mayhem, with some additional tracks by Bill Brown.

Q2 to me fells more futuristic
Obviously improved GFX overall
Unlike Q1 the guns are at the side of the screen along with a hand[with the exception of the Axe in Q1 which is the only one with a hand and is at the side of the screen]
Not sure about the way maps are handled but they are in BSP.Also maps can be created using tools such as QuArK and GTK Radiant [WC and VHE cannot be used as far as I am aware]

Quake 3 Arena

Wikipedia wrote:Quake III Arena (also known as Quake 3; abbreviated as Q3A or Q3), is a multiplayer first-person shooter video game. The game was developed by id Software and featured music composed by Sonic Mayhem and Front Line Assembly. Quake III Arena is the third in the series and differs from previous games by excluding a traditional single-player element and focusing on multi-player action. The single-player is instead played against computer controlled bots in a similar style to Unreal Tournament.
Notable features of Quake 3 include the minimalist design, lacking rarely used items and features, the extensive customizability of player settings such as field of view, texture detail and enemy model, and advanced movement features such as strafe- and rocket-jumping.
Quake 3 is available on a number of platforms and contains mature content. The game was highly praised by reviewers who, for the most part, described the gameplay as fun and engaging. Many liked the crisp graphics and focus on multiplayer.
Quake 3 has also been used extensively in professional electronic sports tournaments such as Quakecon, Cyberathlete Professional League and the Electronic Sports World Cup.

Quake 3 doesn't really have a single player....except for bots

Not really much to about Q3 although it was a very good game and that it's a CounterStrike replica only it's quake and improved GFX

Maps are packed into .PAK files and again they are BSP [All Quake engines Games use BSP EVEN WAW but they are packed into the .ff's] as far as I know and can be created using GTK Radiant....

[size=18]Quake4

Wikipedia wrote:Quake 4 is the fourth title in the series of Quake first-person shooter computer games. The game was developed by Raven Software and published by Activision. Raven Software collaborated with id Software, the creators and historical developers of preceding Quake games. In this case, id Software supervised the development of the game as well as providing the Doom 3 engine, now referred to as 'id Tech 4' and released under the GNU General Public License on 22 November 2011, upon which it was built. Quake 4 went gold in early October 2005 and was released on 18 October 2005 for Microsoft Windows and later for Linux, Xbox 360 and Mac OS X. A special DVD Collectors Edition also exists, including promotional material and the game Quake II with its expansions, The Reckoning and Ground Zero. The Xbox 360 version of Quake 4 is based on the Special Collectors Edition, and therefore also includes Quake II. On 4 August 2011 the game was made available through Steam.
Plotwise, the game is a sequel to Quake II and takes place during the same war as Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. Quake II, Quake 4, or Enemy Territory: Quake Wars do not share story lines with Quake or Quake III Arena; their only relation is their names and logos. Compared to other titles in the Quake series, Quake 4 has an increased emphasis on the single-player portion of the game.[8] A multiplayer mode is available, but it does not involve playable bots like Quake III Arena, without 3rd party modifications.[9]

Do not really know that much about Q4 only played a verrrrrrry small bit of the first part of the campain
Better Graphics overall also has Multiplayer if your interested in buying it
