Top 100 WADs of All Time
From DoomWiki.org
The Top 100 WADs of All Time article suite was created by Andrew Stine (Linguica) and Mike Watson (Cyb) for Doomworld's celebration of Doom's 10th birthday. It listed the top 10 WADs released in each year from 1994 to 2003, in the opinion of the writers. It was mainly written by Linguica and Cyb, with contributions from Colin Phipps (cph), Matthew Dixon (Mattrim) and Liam Mason (Liam the Bard).
Since two of the slots are "shared" by two different WADs (in 1995 and in 2002), there are a total of 102 mods in the top 100.
