The old Doom, Hexen and Quake games just gave me frustration and headache, unlike UT and SC, which I feel have as much atmosphere as any of the other all-time greatest games. This is mostly caused by the strong feeling of being part of a team, even if you only have bots to play with, especially the UT bots are totally sweet. But these games do have some really fast action, and that will ofcourse not appeal to anyone. Before UT and SC I was so tired of 3D games that I just ran away if I saw someone play anything with 3D in it. :-D
And yes, give us Elite 4! :-D
