I'd need a new video card to just meet the minimum requirements... and even then I somehow doubt I'd get great framerates...
I'd call Doom better than average, for sure. It made a huge, huge impression when it came out and for the time was extremely impressive... yes, it has very simplistic gameplay. But is that always bad? I wouldn't say so. And I somehow doubt that everyone hates their character designs like you do. :) Quake and its sequels I'm closer to agreeing with you on, though, as I said.
Then you must also hate Serious Sam (wait, I seem to remember that you do, right?). It's just about the closest thing in recent years to classic Doom... sure it's not exactly complex, but I did have fun blasting through the demo. Like Doom.
But I am a pretty big fan of the Commander Keen games... I think the first trilogy was the best ones. Oh, 4 and 6 are good too, but they don't match up to the originals. Great games. Better than most console platform/action titles, I'd say...
