Any wads similar to Doom the Way id Did?

I'm a huge fan of the original doom level design and loved the DTWID mod. I was curious of anyone could suggest wads that were inspired by classic doom.

Doom 2

Fava Beans, Classic Episode, and Bedlam I guess. Bak2hell is alright if you clip past the torches at the end of E3M4. I like Deimos Deja Vu as a remix of E2. All of the above should be on http://doomworld.com/idgames/

Hey thanks for the suggestions I'll check those out.

Doom 2 the Way id Did.
Doom 2 in Name Only.

Doom 2

Damn! I was going to suggest that. :(

Try Wonderful Doom

I can't praise Wonderful Doom enough.

Also, there're the projects that were spun off from the original DTWID (though not all 100% finished):
DTWID: The Lost Episodes
No End in Sight
PhobosDeimos Anomaly

20 Years of Doom (which I loved) is 9 maps inspired by the original game.

The Ultimate NMD

Also recommending 20 years of Doom, even though it's a bit harder/bigger than DTWID (or doom.wad)

edit: Also Dark Side of Deimos, though not everyone loved it, I thought it was a good E2 style episode.

Awesome suggestions. I finished Fava Beans from Marcaek's suggestion and it was short and entertaining though the puzzle like level designed got me stuck a few times. That's exactly the kind of wads I like.

wtf
go back to the start and fight the cacos you ran away from like a man

or OR you could not be an apologist for shitty map gimmicks

I liked 2002ADO more than Ultimate NMD, Wonderful Doom or DTWID.

2002ado is my favorite Doom 1 wad forever (even if a better wad comes out, the memories about this one are too strong) but I wouldn't say that it's similar to DTWID, it'a lot more modern in style.

Nobody mentioned "flashback to hell" at all. :(
Alot of 90's wads have the same style as ID.

Oh yes, forgot one of the earliest ones: SerEtInf which is actually Serenity, Eternity & Infinity merged into one single Megawad. But quality-wise it is very 1994'ish...

It's great, but it doesn't feel like DOOM1 at all—mostly because it's a riff on DOOM2, but also it's got a "feel" that's entirely its own.

I love this trilogy. Yeah, it's very 90s, but being some of the first custom maps I played when I got back into Doom, I've definitely got a soft spot for it.

Threshold of Pain 1 and 2 are excellent PSX DOOM wads. I'd recommend that plus the PSX DOOM TC.

Doomep47.
...
Oh, that's a WIP. My bad.

Double Impact is a modern take on Knee Deep In The Dead, with plenty of secrets but much more violent than the original. A classic; http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?file=levels/doom/Ports/d-f/dbimpact.zip

If you like small puzzle levels, you may like BF Thud:

BF Thud is awesome.

Isn't this "The Lost Levels of Doom" turned into a Doom 2 Megawad? Kind of?

Don't really know as I played the "thud ding" some years ago. Though, quite recently, I looked at some maps in the editor and it rekindled my love for the style.
By lost levels of doom do you mean the psx/zdoom project?
Or do you mean the lost episodes?

Ultimate Doom the Way Id Did is also in the works and should be released fairly soon! It's only going to be an episode long, but we're really striving to make it great.

The Lost Episodes contains 13 Chris K maps that also show up in BF Thud.

Your mileage may vary, but I do find end1.wad very classic-doomy.

As a disclaimer, I'm somewhat contractually obligated to mention it in every "recommend me a wad" thread, but only because it's also awesome. :P

Thanks for clearing that up Salt-Man Z.

Indeed, thanks, and sorry for mixing up the name of the wad. :/

The closest experience to the original DOOM 1 is
PHOBOS-V
DEIMOS-V
INFERNOS
these are imho the BEST conversions ever!

basically these are all three episodes of Doom 1 rebuilt. all maps are loosely based on the originals but still completely different.
when you play it the places seem familiar - ... but still a totally new experience with some very nice new secrets.
GENIUS WORK! These are in my top 5 wads of all time!

did a quick search and found this... don't know if the link is still working - but it should be up on idgames too
