Argh, your long post offends short people! You are violating my short safe space :D

Well, techinically you are still playing a DOS era game - Quake was primarily a DOS game. The Windows versions were the last ones to be released. You shouldn't worry too much about source ports - when properly configured zDoom / GZDoom provides a fairly genuine experience. Of course, zDoom is closer to the original due to its software renderer. Being easier isn't really a problem because it's your game. When I'm play, I'll choose my own difficulty.

Ohhhhh, no no, no, Hexen isn't "all puzzles" - it is first and foremost a first-person shooter (albeit a slightly unorthodox one) and puzzles are just a variation of gameplay, primarily revolving around exploration (which, I suppose, you don't mind). Most of the time you'd be busy fighting enemies, rather than trying to figure out how to solve something. It's nothing like that Doom PWAD with the cage and the teleporter grid. Anyway, the final decision is yours... all I'm telling you is that your impression of the game is pretty far from reality. The rest is up to you ;)

Oh, I know this irony very well - I also did my best to get the best PC for a resonable price, but most of the stuff played on it is relatively older. I have no more than 5 more recent titles ("recent" meaning released after 2010). And a huge part of my collection runs on DosBox :P
