DISCLAIMER:
This is a complementum to the excellent Classic Doom Community Thread. In here we list the most significant wads, mods, and describe the Cacowards. And as a bonus, we also throw in some nifty resources of information to get the most out of your DOOM. For how to set up Doom, aswell as to figure out which source ports or which level editors are preferred, look in that thread. In general, expect either to run in GZdoom/Pr-Boom or Chocolate Doom. These will cover all the usual ports. Any additional differences will be noted otherwise.
To keep in tone with the community thread, we will use the same fonts. Credit goes to Raptomex for creating the Community Thread and all its fonts. We also make use of a slightly modified big image macro made by the Doom Community /vr/ at 4chan. We credit them for this macro, and also for saving us a lot of time.
Credits also fly out to the excellent Doom Wiki for their excellent descriptions on certain sites. They needed some modifying, but they helped us out a lot.
This thread is created by Redneckerz and Pasokon Deacon. We provide Imps for your entertainment.
CONTENTS:
DOOM would never arrive at where it is now if it wasn't for its sheer expandability. Since 1993, creative minds come together and create new levels, new episodes, new stories and even new games out of the tried and tested DOOM source code. Since 2004 the Cacowards, an off spring of 10 years of Doom (Which focussed on the most notable wads for the first 10 years of DOOMing) are handed out by the Doomworld community, to celebrate the most amazing, funny, or interesting WADS and mods the community has churned out that year. A historic description will be given later. For now, here is a nice image to help you pick what stuff is worth playing. These can be found at the Doomworld /idgames Database.
But wait, thats not all! There are more megawads to be found. You can find a list of these here, which leads to the Doomwiki,here, which leads to reviews of megawads, and here (For Doom 1) and here (For Doom 2), which leads to the Idgamesarchive for downloads. In particular, i recommend Demonfear and Congestion: 64 for either a quick or refreshing take on the megawad format.
INDEPENDENT GAMES:
Some creative DOOMists have escaped the shores of hell, leaving Doomguy in a Entryway of Imps. They took the source code with them, and set out to create something new. Something not so DOOM. iwads, or ''Internal WADS'', are main resource files to be used with ZDOOM or one of its deriatives. Not too surprising then, that quite a lot of these games are based upon these engines. Here is a list of what we think you should play when you aren't playing DOOM (But you always play DOOM, so why are you here???)

Even a space marine needs additional ''resources'' sometimes. In here, we provide a description of a few oddball places of DOOM, that might just get in handy in your time of need...
