EP5A doesn't have Episode 1. It's E2M1 - E2M9 (with the latter being a mandatory, rather than a "secret" level in this case). At least two of its maps appear in other WAD packs too (somewhere in the "Collect" series, I believe).

So, for now I recognize three series of compilations - the ones with E-names (e.g. EP5A), the ones with descriptive names (e.g. Little, Simple, Wast, maybe Biggest as well) and the four Collect files. At least these are the ones that reached me via my mom's efforts. And I guess she got them from someone else who somehow had internet connection back in the 1990's.

As a whole, the best of these level packs is Biggest, at least for me. So far we haven't seen anything from it...

Curious side effect of stealing maps - E12N inherited the custom sounds and music of HALLSALL. Oh yes, custom sounds too - mostly stolen from the Aliens movie franchise.
