All-Time Best Doom Levels

The All-Time Best Doom Levels was a site created by Myles Williams in October 1994, and maintained until March 13, 1997. It ranked and listed a variety of Doom PWADs via a public voting system, requiring a three-fourths to be accepted. According to Williams, he considered the "best" levels according to their popularity rankings through democratic voting.

The All-Time Best Doom Levels gained notability for being one of the first reviewing sites with a voting system, even if it was only maintained and written by one person.

Styles of levels
Williams created a system of level characterization that helped define and categorize the ranked PWADs. The following styles were proposed:


 * Military: Similar to early Doom levels that make heavy use of brown textures and metal.
 * Tech lab: In style with Knee-Deep in the Dead; space station-like levels with large amounts of computers and tech, i.e.: a techbase map.
 * Fortress: Medieval-like levels that make consistent use of natural textures and stone, like castle maps.
 * Inferno: According to Williams, a blend of the three previous styles, similar to the hell map theme.
 * Tech temple: Along the likes of The Shores of Hell. A combination of tech lab, fortress, and inferno.
 * City: Urban settings similar to those created by Sandy Petersen, in vein of city maps.
 * Subterranean: Underground scenarios and cavern-like levels.
 * Aliens: In similar style of the.
 * Imitative: A catch-all term for realistic maps.
