Two games that changed everything. Wolfenstein blew everyone away, then
Doom blew everyone away, and Quake is going to the same thing. I don't
think id would make a game they wouldn't play.

Yes.  I read an article sometime back in one of those gamers magazine  
(the DOOM-II cover caught my eye).  John Carmack said they really wanted 
to make a game they would play.  Im sure the money they made/are making 
helps a lot.  But from the article, it seems that they really arent 
interested in the money.  

He also said he usually gets tired of the game and wants to do it one 
better.  That's why I am sure that Quake will be a real killer game.  

I wasnt too impressed with Heretic.  Then again it wasnt directly from 
id.  The graphics arent any better, Descent is nice, its an improvement. 
Dark Forces isnt bad either.
