Indeed - I'm not a fan of over the top modern ports either, except if it's an official release by the same developers. And even then there are exceptions - the Classic Doom included with Doom 3: BFG Edition (probably the first real "official" port since Doom 95) feels pretty clunky to me, and I can't use my typical key configuration. Its only redeeming feature is a new bonus mini-episode for Doom 2, though this can easily be played in ZDoom as well (all you need to do is grab the WAD file).

The pack I played the most - I think that was EP4B. Its levels were more interesting to me, plus it had this cool custom music. Same goes for EP5A - classic tunes and a few cool maps. I'd say E10N also got a fair amount of attention, though probably less than the other two (there are just 2 or 3 maps I really like in it). And I'd also mention WANTON - being big and complicated, it was excellent for killing time and fighting boredom. Immersion was something I really wanted because it helped me forget all my worries and the overall bleak daily life during those times (with school being the bleakest aspect of it).

I thought soo too, but alas - it's not the same STARTAN map. Even these have differences among each other, ha ha :P
