Map 03: Rocket Zone, from skillsaw's Lunatic.wad (2011). This map looks great, and it's especially fun on lower difficulties. Also, banger alert on the music track. The PWAD is Boom-compatible. I recommend GLBoom+, but that's only because the map takes place on the surface of the moon, and it doesn't make sense to me for the light side of the moon to look dark, like it does with software rendering, but you can run it in PrBoom+ if you want to; there are tech-base sections, and tech-bases tend to look better with the original software renderer.

I highly recommend you play this one on skill 2, pistol-start no saves, so you can breeze through it, so it doesn't consume too much of your time. It's a lot of fun!


Map 04: Warp of Time, from Eternal's Hell Ground (2009), pic related. This used to be my favorite level of all time until I played Preacher. This level is divided into four sections, each of which could be its own level. My favorite section is the pink guts section. Map 01 of this PWAD is probably my favorite introductory level of all time, aside from Duke Nukem's iconic first level. Maps 01 and 07 of this PWAD have mansion sections. The author SPECIFICALLY states that you need to run this PWAD with OpenGL for certain visuals to work, so use GLBoom+ so that you can also see the demos that come with the map pack.

He plays with software renderer, but, hey, it's decino. I highly recommend you play this one. It's been years since I last played this PWAD, so I can't remember how difficult it is, but I'd say just try skill 2 pistol-start with saves.
