Top 100 Most Memorable Maps

The Top 100 Most Memorable Maps is an article suite published on Doomworld in celebration of Doom's 25th anniversary. Commissioned by Linguica and organized by Not Jabba, it also featured write-ups from Matt Tropiano, Xaser, rdwpa, Demon of the Well, Nine Inch Heels, Boris Klimeš (dew), and Sarah Mancuso (esselfortium). It lists the maps considered by the authors to be the most memorable individual levels published up until the 25th anniversary, regardless of whether they were released as part of a megawad or standalone, or whether they were remembered for good or bad reasons. A few slots are occupied by two related levels, putting an actual 105 maps in the list.
