How can anyone not know/love all those old LucasArts & Co. games? I sometimes wish I could erase them from my memory so as to be able to play and experience them like the first time without knowing all the puzzles beforehand.
Too bad they don't make games like that anymore. All newer adventures lack the flair and immersion of the classics, even if some of them manage to get somewhat close, like Runaway iirc and, to a lesser degree, the Tunguska series. Telltale Games' Sam&Max and Monkey Island episodes were ok but ultimately nowhere near the complexity of the originals.
Looking at adventure game sites, I always realize how many there were back in the day and how few of them I've actually played due to their varying quality or my ignorance...
Beneath a Steel Sky and Lure of the Temptress as well as Flight of the Amazon Queen are available at scummvm.org, too, by the way.
I highly recommend Yahtzee's John DeFoe series: 5 Days a Stranger, 7 Days a Skeptic, Trilby's Notes, and 6 Days a Sacrifice (in that order). Short amateur adventures with an interesting (albeit not entirely new) story. The third game's control scheme is a nod to the old Space Quest and Kings Quest games, with a text interface, and it works surprisingly well.
Edit: As for a Doom adventure, there are several programs that allow the creation of custom adventures, like AGS and since the sprites and background images already exist, it shouldn't be too hard to make one.
