Whenever I see a posting where someone lists his/her favorite Doow WADs,
I cut and paste the info into a Microsoft Word document. Here's what
I have so far:

>01 castle.wad The first castle type wad that I know of.
>01 crusher.wad Excellent but aggravating,blood everywhere...
>01 daemon2.wad Try this one e2l1_gg1.wad Difficult but excellent.
>01 lewis21f.wad An awesome little known wad.
>01 pet.wad Great oldie.
>01 starwar2.wad If only it ran faster...
>03 wanton.wad If only it ran faster....
>04 scream.wad Great first room!!
>05 megalab.wad Great followup to megawatt.
>08 opost21.wad < And the Winner is!!!!! I agree, until tree3.wad

1) Alien patch with level
2) Skycity

invade1.wad Runs fast almost throughout, awesome graphics
dragon12.wad Runs fast throughout. Huge,panoramic,awesome
opost21.wad See above.
escape.wad Awesome level. Too bad it runs slow often....
mtfire09.wad Great mood,atmosphere. Difficult.

1)aliens......many a wasted night playing this one!!!!:)
2)uac_dead
3)opost21

1. uac_dead
2. output21
3. octagon
4. forest21

Towers.wad is ***AWESOME*** .. too bad it is soo complex
and has so many linedefs that it gets HOM and runs kind of
slowly even on a 486/66 VLB. Pentium users will probably
enjoy this one (and maybe when v1.5/1.6 comes out the HOM
will go away).

As for Temple11.wad and 666.wad being tough.. err.. I thought
those were not very difficuly... and yes, I always play UV.

I dont think opost21.wad was that good. I guess its built correctly and
is fairly aesthetically pleasing, but it isnt MIND BLOWING AMAZING. If
this wad is number one because of that one trick pony w/ the candle
staircase, then thats not really an indication of it as a whole.

yes, THIS was mind blowing. [theres movement all over the place!]

^^^^^^^
sometimes i think this ranks high merely because it was on that Quick Wad
review chart with great praise, and people are tricked or psych
themseleves into thinking it is something really great.

>escape.wad Awesome level. Too bad it runs slow often....
>mtfire09.wad Great mood,atmosphere. Difficult.

^^^^^^^
this is good.

there were alot of bugs in this, but overall it was pretty ok.

Deadbase.wad. It has already a revision out [deadbase 2.0].
It is one of my favorites deathmatch wads. its been revised so make sure
you pick up the latest off of infant2.
