Na, I have played quite a lot of Quake, be it stand-alone, in an 
IPX-network or over Internet. Every time I return to Doom I 
notice how much more *catchy* that game is. Quake is just so...
dull. And network gaming starts to get boring after a while...
whereas in Doom I spent hours a day, months in a row trying
to frag my buddies! I have yet to see a real surprising
add-on for Quake... although I am really looking forward to YPOD ;)
Somehow even level-editing is not as much fun... I never even
finished my first Quake level, as i got bored with it.

It's surprising really how many negative comments Quake causes...
there is even a whole site dedicated to how much Quake sucks!
I never saw that about Doom. 

Greetz,
