This is why I love and prefer Quake to Doom. It took the horror atmosphere they tried to achieve in Doom and perfected it. Not just visually but the music also helps tremendously as well, Reznor did an excellent job, so so much better than the goofy sounding MIDI stuff from DOOM. I can't tell you how disappointed I was when Quake 2 went full "unkillable badass super soldier power fantasy" and completely dropped the unique world they created for the original. The Quake 1 brutalist architecture meets medieval castles and Lovecraft horror is such a creative and cool aesthetic compared to what they did with 2. I really wish more games had a similar dark surreal style, the only other title I can think of off the top of my head is American Mcgees Alice.

Also you should check out "The Undergate" which has over 100 classic maps from before 2007 connected with one start map. There is also "Dimensions of the Past aka DOPA" Which is the unofficial 5th episode of Quake done by one of the guys who worked on expansion packs for the original game. All of the Func_map jams are excellent as well. Have fun Quaker bro!
