An Archimedes platformer called Nemesis I had that came out in 1992 had a very distinctive 'hup' sound on jump (also a very distinctive 'sploosh' sound when you fell into the water and died, it was not a forgiving game) - I wonder if earlier platformers also did, and Quake was just the first game with such a sound effect that became truly iconic.
