In the future, humans have left Earth and settled throughout the galaxy. On Mars, the Union Aerospace Corporation has established a radioactive waste facility and allowed the military to conduct teleportation experiments on the nearby moons of Deimos and Phobos. Hours ago, the base on Mars began receiving incoherent distress messages from Phobos, while Deimos has disappeared completely. With all attempts to establish contact failing, you and your team have been dispatched to investigate. Upon arrival, you secure the perimeter as the rest of your team enters the facility.

If you plan to get out of here alive you must fend off the hordes of demonic imps, haunting spectres and your undead, former comrades waiting to tear you limb from limb. So, grab the nearest shotgun and blast your way out of this fragging madness!
Doom II: Hell on Earth is a first-person shooter developed by id Software and released in 1994 as a sequel to the original Doom. The game continues the story, with players battling through Earth after it has been invaded by demonic forces. Gameplay remains similar to its predecessor, featuring fast-paced combat, maze-like levels, and an array of weapons, including the introduction of the powerful Super Shotgun. Doom II also adds new enemy types, such as the Arch-vile and the Mancubus, increasing the game's challenge. Initially released for MS-DOS, Doom II has since been ported to numerous platforms, becoming a cornerstone of the FPS genre.

Set on a distant planet named Bazoik, the game follows the Chex Warrior, a humanoid in an anthropomorphic piece of Chex cereal armor, as he fights to eradicate the Flemoid invasion. These slimy, green creatures have infested the planet and captured many helpless citizens whom the Chex Warrior must save. His only weapon is a device called a "zorcher", which teleports his enemies instead of killing them. The game starts at the landing pad of the research facility on Bazoik, after which the protagonist is teleported to the storage facility. The other levels include the laboratory, the arboretum, and finally, the underground caverns of Bazoik, where the Flemoids seem to be making a home for themselves.

Three brothers, known as the Serpent Riders, have used their powerful magic to possess seven kings of Parthoris into mindless puppets and corrupt their armies. The Sidhe elves resist the Serpent Riders' magic. The Serpent Riders thus declared the Sidhe as heretics and waged war against them.

While the Sidhe retreat, one elf, sets off on a quest of vengeance against the weakest of the three Serpent Riders, D'Sparil. He travels through the "City of the Damned", the ruined capital of the Sidhe, then past Hell's Maw and finally the Dome of D'Sparil.

The town is under martial law. Framed for looting, you have been disarmed and hauled away by a couple of Order Acolytes to the local sewage plant for questioning.

Covert Operations (sometimes shortened to Covert Ops) is a tactical military Doom II total conversion created by Black Shadow Software that requires the source port EDGE and reuses many resources in 1998's Twilight Warrior made by the same team. Covert Ops abandons DeHackEd patches and instead uses DDF to create custom enemies and re-loadable weapons. The WAD was an early showcase of EDGE features including 3D floors, colored lighting, translucent deep water, falling snow, and RTS action triggers.

A community project at Func_Msgboard. The pack features 6 small to large Zerstörer-themed maps. The complete Zer mod is included in this release, and so are the map sources. This map pack was very early in Quake single-player modding and included impressive map designs.
Egyptoagula is a Large Egyptian-themed space map by Qmaster, with floating pyramids of surrealist dimensions, oases, and traps in elaborate mazes. While the map itself is short, built like a Rubik's cube in many aspects, with intertwined puzzles opening abstract moving parts of its mechanical pyramids. It runs on the Keep mod and includes a patch for it. This map should last an experienced player at least an hour on the first playthrough.
Seven classic maps made in 1998-2001 by Peter Bisseker, also known as Tiddles. A variety of themes (base, rogue brick, wizmet) in an early yet distinct style. All levels were released separately, but were intended to lead into each other. This release is a modern repackaging by historical map appreciator Greenwood, curating all of Tiddles' single player maps together into a convenient episode.
A 1997 medieval and base-themed classic episode with four medium-sized maps as well as a start-map and a small secret level. Quite hard and challenging at times. Made by the Casali brothers, of Final DOOM fame.
Batman Doom is a total conversion for Doom II, created by ACE Team in 1999. In Batman Doom, the player plays Batman fighting various criminals in Gotham City. The game includes a very complex DeHackEd patch which makes it very different from Doom.
Total conversion featuring "18 new levels, 112 new models, 100's of new sounds, over 400 new textures, max size progs.dat", and other custom stuff - pretty much everything replaced. The new textures, enemies, and sounds are very strange. This is only for hardcore people or those who want to try something radically different.
Stare into Death and Be Still is a 4 map MBF21 challenge WAD originally concepted for NaNoWADMo 2025, before obligations to other projects and the sheer scope of my plans caused it to be delayed significantly. The four maps rapidly ramp in difficulty (expect slaughter!), and start relatively modest in scale before exploding in size for the finale, all accompanied by a fully bespoke soundtrack by yours truly.
Finnish mappers of the first acclaimed "SMEJ" came back for an episode jam 2, the sequel to Realm of the Lost: seven large maps in varying themes, based on the Copper mod (included). It also features four new monsters, a new boss, a few new sounds, and music tracks. The map pack then inspired the community to create a "SMEJ Map Jam", with no intervention from the original SMEJ team.
