Thank you, thank you, Wikia :)

The only MMO I've ever tried is WoW, and I usually play the older versions (the latest ones have become way too weird). The thing I like about it is the exploration - it's a huge virtual world filled with surprises. Sadly, most players don't appreciate this. I am not familiar with TTR.

I know what you mean - sometimes I force myself to play a dull game just because of its significance (e.g. it is made by a certain developer or belongs to a certain period).

Hexen's level design is superior to Heretic's, especially in the later parts of the game. And it gets even better in the mission pack. I think you will like it, although you will probably get lost a couple of times. Like I've mentioned before - the Doom engine has been absolutely stretched to its limits, and is capable of things which were impossible in Doom/Heretic. And the scripting allows for much more complex actions than the simple "lower floor" or "raise stairs" triggers in Doom and Heretic. Some changes even affect more than one level ;)

Indeed, Half-Life is an excellent representative of the late 1990's. Gameplay is simple, yet fun, and level design is pretty good. There are some impressive outdoor areas that look amazing even in the vanilla engine. There is a reasonable amount of gore, plus some good explosions and other combat-related effects. It's hard to believe this is based on the old Q1 engine.

I've seen videos with the newer version of HL - it mostly looks the same, though water and some outdoor areas are improved. Still, I like the classic feel... and I even play with the original low-res models (there is a hi-res model pack but I never got used to it). I have yet to try HL on my new computer, but I think it will run fine.

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (the graphic adventure, not the action game) was one of the first computer games I've ever played. As for TR - TR3 was my first contact with the series as well. I liked the variety of environments - especially Antarctica (I've always had a love for snowy/frozen game levels). In terms of story and depth, my favorite is TR4, though.

Other newer game I can recommend - Wolfenstein: The New Order / The Old Blood. Rare examples of modern shooters that I can actually feel excited about.

Ramen!
