Best INDIVIDUAL levels (max one per wad/author)

[FrancisT218]

What's your top overall maps of all time? Maybe five, with no more than one in the same wad and no more than one by the same author. Of course single level wads can count too.

 

Mine, no definite order:

 

Misri Halek (AV Map20) by Kim Malde

Breach by @Viggles

Anagnorisis (Eviternity Map32) by @ukiro

UAC Invasion: The Supply Depot by @DooMknight

Wild Bleu Yonder (Adventures of Square E2A5) by @MTrop @Xaser

Edited July 3, 2019 by FrancisT18 : Author correction

I'd like to point out that Wild Bleu Yonder was more @Xaser than me.

Degrassi by TimeOfDeath

 

No Chance  by Death-Destiny

 

The Harlot's Garden by Insane_Gazebo

 

I'm just a Doom addict by Gusta (Kama Sutra map 29)

 

Cryonology by Atronx (I never went beyond map 31 in Eviternity)

 

Volcaropod by WH-Wilou84 (Mayhem 2018 : Orange Edition , map 21)

[vdgg]

I picked thirteen, than eliminated nine (you can see them in spoilers)

 

Vrack 3 as a beautiful adventure in my favourite space station theme

Chord_NG for beauty, genius concept of starting area and brutality

Skepland MAP02 for neverending possibilities of playing

Eternal MAP28 for layout

WOS MAP04 for a beautiful, well-balanced compact level. This hell knight not teleporting is a bad mistake, yet still this map qualifies.

 

Runners-up

Spoiler

DMDJM02, 1994TU MAP27, Darken2 MAP11, HR MAP14, Icarus MAP25, Plutonia 2 MAP17, Ruinbros MAP04, Slayer MAP07

These types of lists are hard because they change all the damn time, especially since I haven't played every megawad yet. :P

Right this second I'll say:

 

REKKR E1M7: Dripstone Wharf by lupinx-Kassman

(honestly cheated out of at least a top-20 spot in the 100 Memorable Maps list IMO. Not even an honorable mention???)

Alien Vendetta MAP20: Misri Halek by Kim Andre Malde

Community Chest 2 MAP24: The Mucus Flow by B.P.R.D

Alien Vendetta MAP26: Dark Dome by Anders Johnsen

Scythe 2 MAP30: Haunting Dreams by Erik Alm

Of course I mean of whatever you've played (and recall), not 'permanently'. :)

[Rince-wind]

Templum Dormiens Dei

Cheogsh

Terraformer (Alpha Accident: Terra Nova - E1M8)

Inner Fear (Community Chest 4 - MAP10)

Abandoned Observatory (Hexen Upstart Mapping Project - MAP09)
