I still play Doom semi-regularly. I almost never fire up Quake.

Classic Doom > Quake for me. I remember my friends and I tried qtestx86
for Linux in the computer lab. The PC didn't have audio card, but it was
amazing esp. in Linux. Then, came QuakeWorld with better Internet play.
I could play it with my crappy dial-up modems!

I'm confused by your use of the > symbol. It implies that Doom is
better (which it obviously is ;-) but then you rave about Quake. The
maths don't check out!!!!111!!!

Quake was impressive tech for its day, and it featured some many ideas
that have since become de rigeur for FPS games nowadays, but it was
too focused on arena-combat gameplay and its lore was a mess. Bleh.
