i was wondering which doom wads make you feel so nostalgic and give you memories of when you first played it and stuff. so i wanted to ask which ones there are , because usually doom wads that were very good make some one nostalgic , not some crap. because i want to collect some new stuff to play , but if you also have some crap that makes you feel like that , you can still post it. but i will probably not have much positive to say on a crap wad.
okay and the wads that make me feel nostalgic are doom1 because its just the best doom game , and also i have to say that i played it a very long time ago for my first time but its just so long ago that i am not very sure when it was but it was awesome. and there is alien vendetta. i hate it but the first 12 maps are extremely good and it reminds me of 2000s , because it was made in the 2000s and the levels look like a 2000s game. i mean if you compare it to some game from this time you will notice it looks like doom , but the detailing in the graphics will be a little similar , and i mean the maps from that wad are also extremely giant and have 500 or 600 enemies some times.
okay and i cant really remember any other wads like that. i mean there is lots of wads i played before but they were not as good in my opinion , if they were i would remember them now

When I came into the doom community, it was around the mid-2000s, and at the time the two names that really stuck out for me when I was an up and coming mapper were Tormentor667 and Agent Spork. Tormentor for leading the way with an elite "high detail" style that combined the visual styles of shooters like Quake and Unreal with the uptic of advanced ZDoom mapping features that made a really cool experience without steering too far away from the classic Doom roots. And Agent Spork, for also using ZDoom but with an even more distilled and refined style that emphasized muted colors with really tight texture alignment that fit the textures like puzzle pieces or tetris blocks on every surface. It made for a really attractive modern (at the time) mapping style that was easy to imitate. In my doom mapping noob opinion, these two were who I remember as some of the main pioneers of Doom's evolution towards beautiful doom maps. Not to discredit other mappers who made great leaps in a positive direction for doom's mapping, because there were many. But when I recall pixelated downscaled jpeg screenshots of maps like these, it takes me back to a simpler time where doom was really shining at its best. Looking back at these screenshots, they're not really that amazing anymore but I remember seeing this stuff and thinking: "THIS. THIS RIGHT HERE. THIS IS IT"  Sapphire Orbital Research by Tormentor667  Ultimate Simplicity by Agent Spork  |

these maps look really good. i think i have not seen any thing that looks more detailed. there is stuff that looks as detailed as that but i dont think i saw something more detailed before. do you have links for the wads ?? and if the screenshots are not so impressive any more , then i wonder what is the most impressive things that are being made today ?

Any of the original maps included with skulltag give me nostalgia, not because I actually played multiplayer in them but because I liked to do offline skirmishes in them and mess around with the summon command and the skulltag bots.

Early wads with blue skies and cheesy textures.
Dystopia 3, Doom City, etc..

Gotta be shovelware wads. Nothing like crackin’ open a case of 1994-1996 wads. There is something eerily beautiful about how they tried to make levels gimmicky or difficult with the limited tools they had.

There are plenty of maps nowadays that have surpassed the aesthetics of the best-looking mid-00s wads. See stuff like Valiant, Ancient Aliens, Heartland (yea I am a Skillsaw fan), Eviternity, MSCP to name a few. Also hi. First time posting on Doomer Boards. |

This Wad. It was one of the first user wads I ever played that really stuck out to me. One of many stages bundled on one of those shady unauthorized compilation pack CDs they used to sell back then. The only way I could get custom DOOM content back then, being my parents' had a computer but were late to adopt the internet:
It looks really primitive today, but back in early days of DOOM it felt fairly epic.
EDIT: DosBox is really dropping the ball with its Adlib emulation in that video. The custom music sounds like its missing a whole sound channel.
