Err, I believe he wrote quake initially on PA-Risc.  As far as I know, he has
only specifically said that he wrote it on Nextstep, but I don't think a 
NeXT station would have had enough CPU power, and I know that id used to own
a few PA-Risc stations running Nextstep.

I think that Doom might have been on a next station though.
