I recently replayed Doom 2 with a couple of friends, and for us this is definitely a legendary game. I have lots of fond memories of Doom 1 as well. While I also spent a lot of time with Duke Nukem 3D, I never found it as enjoyable as Doom. I'd put Doom in the list before Quake.
Wolfenstein 3D should also be there.
Luckily for me, you are the one making the sweeping statement, so I only have to provide a counter-example: I remember Doom and Wolfenstein for the enjoyment they gave me. You are too quick to dismiss them :)
(And just as a matter of factual correction; Doom 1 and 2 both supported four players over IPX)
