Thanks for all your responses. I ended up getting quake 4, but I have
to say, I don't think it's anything like as fun as quake 3, and
ridiculously dark and depressing.
 I seem to have lost my copy of quake 3, but considering getting
another to give the same nephew in compensation for my questionable
choice  : )

quake 3 has a sort of simplicity and fun graphical and articstic
quality, and a pace and excitement that I like. quake 4 is gloomy and
tedious by comparison, at least that is my initial impression.
