Comments : e1m2 - I got off to a real bad
start here - down to 4% health before I was even out of the
starting gate. Made this level pretty interesting. Once I
got past that, it was clear sailing.
: e2m1 - This one was pretty easy.
I got past the former humans w/o a scratch at the start.
: e4m8 - A pretty tough level all
right. Took me about 15 tries. I am super cautious in
this one, so there are a number of pauses while I consider
my options. I got surprised by a Baron and a Lost Soul at
the end when I was making sure I had all the secrets and
entered the transporter from the spider room, but
fortunately I had the BFG ready and they started fighting
each other.
: e4m6 - Man, if e4m8 was hard, this
was REALLY hard. Took me about a week and a half of
spending entirely too much time on this, but I did it. I
get "DooM Disease" - after so many SOOO CLOSE attempts I get
more and more cautious, so this doesn't have the action one
would like. Particularly true in the yellow key area, where
I wait for the Cacodemons to fight the Baron (if you wait
long enough, you can get all three Caco's in there). Still,
I made it, and I never thought I would, especially since I
have rarely played episode 4 and both e4m6 and e4m8 were my
first ever attempts under DHT rules (start from scratch,
etc.) If you want more action, see the excellent demo by Peo
Sjoblom.
: Free - I had e-mailed Frank asking
permission to do an episode of the original DooM tyson style
instead of doing an addition to base, since I dreaded doing
e4m6. Before I got a reply, I decided to try e4m6 anyway.
This is one of my more interesting attempts at a tyson
episode. I have a couple where I get farther (about 1/4 of
the way through e1m7), but this one is more fun
Author info : This is my sixth title (I already
have D1M, D1SG, D1T, D2M, D2SG). Currently working on 4
other titles (I'll probably never finish them all).
