Basically what the thread title says. I tried to list all the ones I know of. I grouped together games that are very similar (same engine, same relative setting, same overall gameplay, and same developer). Wolfenstein/the original SoD, both Blake Stones, all the DooM stuff, and Descent I/II are such cases.
I picked the Quake engine because it's the first engine that was TRUELY a full 3-D engine in all aspects. A few of the games were released after Quake, but they still used an older engine (every game in the list is technically known as a 2.5-D engine game).
Note that if I didn't like a sequel (for example, I include only the first Dark Forces and Hexen), that is because the sequel runs off a different engine that doesn't predate Quake. So don't vote for a game if you're really voting for its sequel and said sequel is not listed!
I'd say Wolfenstein/SoD, everything Classic DooM, and Duke Nukem 3D are the most popular three titles easily, but that doesn't mean other ones can't be one of your favorites. After all that's why I listed every title I knew!
I'd say ideally select between a top two and top five depending primarily on how many of them you have played or at least spent some time with. And of course, feel free to comment to whatever extent you'd like.
