Quake, Doom and Hexen/Heretic are my top 3 favourite games! You could consider Quake similar to an RPG, Hexen/Heretic is definitely RPG! Doom's a full on FPS.

My favorite old school RPGs are

- Fates - Gates of Dawn

- of course Dungen Master with his expansion Chaos strikes back

- Eye of the Beholder 1 and 2

- and my first dungeon crawler Sword and Serpents on the NES.

Hexen: Beyond Heretic, now that's a great game!
Hexen 2 is also a good game.
Have you heard that there's a team of Hexen fans making a new Hexen game?
It's called Hexen: Edge of Chaos and it's currently a mod for Doom 3 but
they are working hard to make it a stand-alone game

EDIT: I'd consider Hexen more as a hack 'n' slash game with puzzle elements than a role-playing game since the character doesn't really gain experience.

But... but... but...

Doom, Hexen and Heretic weren't RPGs! They were all great games, but every single one of them was an FPS.

Every single one of those is fantastic, and a favorite of mine; but I would not consider any of them RPGs.
