Yeah, Quake 2 has these options too. At least when the data is on the CD, you still have it physically in your possession. But when it's on a server somewhere, it's really annoying - someone else has full control over when you can play or not. I definitely don't like this.

Indeed, the 90's were darker in style, and this even affected some series that had started in the 80's - TMNT's later seasons are an example of this. It was a time whem political correctness and "triggers" were not a concern. And thus art could accomplish something great, unrestrained. There were some pretty weird and silly things too (e.g. "Cow and Chicken"), but at least they were funny :P

I wonder if it would be a good idea to remake Doom and Quake the way they were originally meant to be... with all the RPG elements, evil scepters, and the like. It could be interesting, if executed properly.

Experimentation is what made the genre better, I think. Concoles had already settled in a comfortable niche, so it was the PC market that sought the innovations. You know, Epic actually did this - though instead of a flying carpet, it's more of a hi-tech starfighter. You can thank Greg McMartin for that :D
