Depends on your settings and which games. Quake was basically Crysis when it came out. Duke3D at 60fps for example, even at high res with certain setups.

In in 1998 accelerators started picking up and you could play Q2 at 60+ FPS

http://www.3dgw.com/hardware/benchmarks.php3 - as early as 1997 you could get 60+ at 640x480 on a machine with Q2, which was heavier than Q1.
Quake 1 thus also got more of a boost by that time as well.

So basically, time + more than a single game made up that generation.

But it's also quite telling that you cut the top of that benchmark list from thandor.net off where it shows a year later after Quake was released those benchmarks did in fact hit 60 FPS.
So, why did you do that again? Oh right. Troll can't be using facts now can then.
