I agree. The ID 1 engine and its derivatives are way cool.

Lots of WADS and Megawads to have fun. The gameplay may be simplistic but it
still beats many modern shooters IMO.

Don't forget to try Cyberdreams, a megawad in which you must defeat a legion of
Cyberdemons on each level, armed only with a gun with no bullets. It is
actually a sequence of megapuzzles. The last level has 156 cyberdemons
surrounding you right from the start. So much fun with that one.
