I like games like nethack, and indeed by comparison the plot and more
cerebral aspects of Quake suck. However that incomparable 1st person
perspective, immersive feel of it can't be beat. I often just turn on
all the cheats and wander around new levels exploring them, a bit like
a tourist, I wouldn't call a game where to do that is fun
"GUI-burdened". I run it under Linux of course.
