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!!!

"Do the math." ;)

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.
;-)

I only liked Quake for its engine, but not its theme and level designs.
