Anybody who has tried out wads, knows that there are good and bad megawads out there. There are thousands of megawads out there. I was wondering if anybody would happen to be interested in listing what they think are the best megawads of all time (with the links to the site)?
Thanks..

Slow down, little billy! You're not ready to start a new thread just yet.

Search.

For a direct answer instead of just telling you to find it yourself (you obviously asked for a reason):

Alien Vendetta
TNT 2
DSV, 3, and 4.
Community Chest
Community Chest 2

Just to name a few off the top of my head :)

Requiem
Raven (classic, not to mention famous)

Those are all I can think of for Doom II, but there are plenty for Legacy and ZDoom that are excellent:

RTC-3057 (ZDoom)
Cold as Hell (ZDoom)
ZDCMP1 (only one level, but it's one helluva big level! ZDoom)
VileFlesh Remade (Legacy)
DooM ForeveR (Legacy)

And plenty of others.

Hell Revaled 1 & 2
Alien Vendetta
Kama Sutra
Scythe 1 & 2...

...to name a few off the top of my head. But if i had to pick 1 i'd say Scythe 1, love it! *bang*

What if I put Action Doom (http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=12671) on the table? Will that make you happy.

i thought AD was pretty cool. the only thing that made we think "wtf" was making boxes things instead of just mapping them. what the hell scuba, really?

Well 2 reasons I would think:

1. Because it's supposed to have the feel of an 80s arcade game
2. Because mapping destructible boxes would be a pain in the ass and would require tons of ACS scripting

I liked AD pretty well, although it's not really a style I preferred, it was very unique.

Top-class megawads:
Hell Revealed (hr)
Kama Sutra (ksutra)
Alien Vendetta (av)
STRAIN (strain)
Vile Flesh (vile)
2002: A Doom Odyssey (2002ado)
Eternal (eternal)
Hell Revealed 2 (hr2final)
Icarus (icarus)
Memento Mori 2 (mm2)
Requiem (requiem)

Interesting megawads:

Demonfear (dmonfear)
Vilecore (vilcore)
Marswar (marswar)
DSV4 (two versions, both with a filename starting dsv4)
Herian 2 (herian2)
World of Deth (world)

I've given the title followed by the filename. You can find most of them by searching for the title or filename here (http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?search) to find them. Otherwise a Google search should do the trick.

Apologies for any unintentional omissions. They should keep you busy for a while anyway. :p

I never got to play that because it was brutally Mac-denied, but now that I have a PC I might try it out. ;)
