Return to Castle Wolfenstein is the first Wolfenstein I have proper memories of and I liked it, but the campaign wasn't anything that amazing. Online gaming just wasn't a thing for me at that point either, so I never really tried the praised multiplayer. I got the 2009 Wolfenstein for cheap a few years ago, but never dug too deep into it. But The New Order I was hyped for since it's reveal trailer and it even managed to exceed my hype. I really hope Machine Games has been working on a sequel all this time.
I think Quake was the first ID game that I played on my own PC. It was a fun experience and obviously the graphics were a big deal back then, but it doesn't hold a special place in my heart. My friend bought Quake 2 and I recall we played through the whole thing through during a weekend or so and it was great. Quake 3 Arena I just played against bots 'till Unreal Tournament absolutely crushed it, at least in my case. Quake 4, uh...only ever played the demo of it and I know of the whole "turning you into a Strogg" sequence, which I guess was the only highlight of that thing.
I can't recall when was the first time I played Doom. It definitely wasn't around it's release year and even when I played it, I'm pretty sure it was on someone else's pc. I think I had played a few other shooters by then already, so it didn't blow my mind to bits. Doom 3 I remember looking amazing, but the game itself really wasn't anything special. Doom (4) finally knocked it out of the park, though!
Wolfenstein still takes the cake, though, because I just like the story and world of The New Order more, even if the new Doom puts up a good fight with it's tongue-in-cheek writing.
