Armagon for me.
Takes Quake 1 to new heights, and really puts every other title to shame.

Followed closely by equal Quake1 and Q3A/TA/QuakeLive

Quake 2 just behind (gameplay wise it's pretty simplistic but for me to replay an old, old game where everything is just a bunch of smudgy blocks and yet it's STILL so immersive I can feel the greasy smoggy air on my skin, definitely deserves some credit. Its expansions are rather light on new stuff- especially monsters- so they're equal close runners up.

Dissolusion of Eternity for Q1 had some nice aesthetics for its time, but it really doesn't weigh up that well IMO. No actually new weapons, no actually new monsters (save the bosses), and the traps were seriously overdone. Although it did have some great moments (especially the statues).

Quake 4, however, was plain awful. I lost interest by the time I got to the sewers. When I watch that Indianan Jones episode of Southpark, I think about Quake 2. Reversing Quake 2's awesomeness by managing to make high-detailed environments and engines actually lame-down a bunch of smudgy technicoloured block monsters is something I believed wasn't possible. The monsters also shout 'Aboongy'- that alone warrants some kind of punishment.

Quake may well be as classic as a 1960's Aston Martin but I voted Scourge of Armagon because I felt that it derserves a place on the mantle piece along with Quake and i'm abit disapointed it hasnt gotton more votes, although not surprised

Mine would be tied with Q1 and Q2, so the Q2 vote is mine although I'm a fan of both.

I liked the mission packs but not as much as the original.

Origional Quake of coruse. Quake 3 sucks with it's sluggish, swimmy feeling gameplay. Shafting in Q3 is like trying to whap someone with a 100ft rubber bar. Quake 2 is cool but simply not as good as Quale 1.

wow, someone finally agrees with me on the quake 3 feel.

Personally I'm treating the original game and expansions as if they were all custom level packs- and the best level-design/monster-placement overall wins.
Episode 1 of Quake was awesome- probably my favourite Quake experience- but unfortunately the following episodes didn't really size up as much- Armagon on the other hand managed to deliver an Ep1 level of quality from start to finish!

My favorite is the original Quake and it's expansions. I look at them as the same game more or less. I liked both DOE and SOA. The main reason is the theme of the original is far more interesting than it's "sequels." The weapons and enemies were all interesting and it had a creepy atmosphere. I'm not a big fan of the sci fi alien invasion theme of Quake 2. I thought it was kinda bland. I hope one day they might make a true sequel to the original. Although it might be hard since the original was kind of a fluke since it started out as a different game.

THE VOTE WAS RIGGED !!!

Fully agree- and in my opinion, the original combined the right amount of modern, sci-fi, alien, fantasy, gothic, satanic and lovecraftian themes- at least in the enemies and half the levels.

It would be hard to remake Quake 1 for a modern PC world (eg emphasise on modern demands like story, dialogue, levels that have a 'realistic' purpose and stuff like weapon clip storage (all of which I support) without harming the Quakey-mood) although I think it's actually very possible.
