Co-Op Quickies | 0.3M | 11 | 12/8/2000 | Made for co-op! 11 small but intense maps created by fellow co-op player Dan L'Ecuyer. Recommended. | |
City of Doom | 3.1M | 11 | 12/8/2000 | Spectacular! Great level design, very tough combat & puzzles, city streets & buildings theme. (Last map may have a co-op hostile trap, but didn't cause us trouble.) A must-have! | |

Perdition's Gate | N/A | 32 | 11/2/2000 | Commercial megawad by WizardWorks (not to be confused with the freeware 6-level wad reviewed below). One spot in one of the early maps suggested a potential co-op hitch, but it didn't happen to cause us any difficulty. | |

DOOM 2200 Episode 1 | 1.6M | 6 | 1/23/2000 | VERY tough levels, superb co-op play. | |
