What are the *best* .WADs?
Neale Type
So I have played the original and now want to try some of the 3rd party
.WADs out there, but there seem to be quite a few...
Has anyone searched through the cruft and can recommend the good ones?

Well done, though not exremely challenging (i.e. they are ajoy to play):
OPOST21.WAD
FLASH.WAD
My favorites are:
666.WAD
MEGAWATT.WAD
MEGALAB.WAD
SCREAM.WAD
ABYSS.WAD
More challenging, but just as good are:
TEMPLE11.WAD
COURTYARD.WAD

That's still a pretty darn big list, if you ask me... and being in
alphanumeric order doesn't help when trying to pick the first few to
check out... maybe someone (NOT ME!) should do a survey of what people
consider to be the best wads, and then post the list... any volunteers?

I shortened your list to what I belive is more of the cream of the crop.
Here's my top five:
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.
Tree3.wad would be here but I haven't finished it yet.
What's your top 5???
Todd.

Wow. Considering all the stuff Tom knows about PWAD editing, this should be a
PWAD worth getting folks.
Can't wait! Just the thing I need for post-dissertation blues.
