Substitutions? : Yes, E2M4 (from the medium set) with E3M2, E3M3
and E3M4 (all from the hard set). There are two
reasons for this substitution:
1. I wanted to make the exam harder (since DOOM I
is practically a joke next to DOOM II - yes, watch
my DOOM 2 Master demos - so I chose three hard
levels instead of this one).
2. I already did E2M4 four times - once in
cooperative mode, once in a single-player mode
with saves, and twice in a single-player mode with
100% all in demo conditions. I HAD ENOUGH OF THIS
LEVEL!! Anyway, I'm making a demo collection for
the entire DOOM I game (actually it's already
finished and I'll soon upload it to ftp.cdrom.com),
and since E2M4 would have taken me about 15-20
minutes and E2M1 about 3-6 minutes I chose E2M1.
I still wanted to do the assigned hard level -
E2M7.
That's the explanation. It made the title harder,
but a lot more fun.
System used : 486DX2/66 with 8MB RAM and a one week old SB16
(yes, I did my DOOM 2 Master with a normal SB).
The fps is about 13-14.
Controls used : Keyboard only - that's right, no mouse! The
controls are:
Fire - right control.
Use - spacebar.
Turning and walking - the arrow keys.
Strafe on - right alt.
Strafe left - pad 1.
Strafe right - pad 3.
Free interpretation : Well, the level is E3M6, chosen from the "very hard"
set, completed with 100% kills and 100% secrets,
exiting to Warrens, the secret level of episode 3.
I wanted to show that I'm capable of doing a "very
hard" level, and I saw that 80% of the DOOM 1
Masters who did a "very hard" level did E3M9,
which is quite a joke and I don't see what it has
to do with "very hard" and only 20% did E3M6 which
is a LOT more difficult, so I did E3M6. I hope you
enjoy the demo.
Comments : Well:
The assigned levels:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
The assigned "easy" level: E2M1. It's a joke, as it
should be. No comments.
The assigned "medium" level: E2M4. I substituted
that one for three "hard" levels - see the reasons
above. See my comments about the substituting
levels below.
The assigned "hard" level: E2M7. This one is as
easy as the rest of DOOM 1, I suppose. What I like
about it is the fact that it's LOADED with ammo,
so I didn't have to kill everyone with berserk.
That's good, because I don't like being forced to
kills enemies with berserk - I like doing it for
fun!! It's really no big deal.
The substitution levels:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
E3M2 - from the "hard" set. It has a great music,
and a nice map (check the map before you complete
it). The dance is done twice because I got paranoid
about the dance after I did E2M6 and forgot to
dance. (Don't laugh.) Anyway don't worry, it's the
same dance in the beginning and in the end. I
originally planned to do E2M6, but since I had it
completed with no dance I just added it to my demo
collection and went on to the next "hard" level.
It's a cute level.
E3M3 - finally, the first BFG in the game! It's a
funny level - an invulnerability replacing a
radiation suit and other ridiculous stuff, but other
than that it's just yet another level. By the way,
it's from the "hard" set as well.
E3M4 - this is from the "hard" set too. I originally
thought it was complicated and boring, and I didn't
know it very good, but it wasn't too bad if you
ignore the obvious fact that I always face monsters
with the wrong weapons. Other than that, it's not
a very fun level, but it's ok.
The free interpretation level:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
E3M6 - from the "very hard" set. See my comments
about it above.
Author info : Ah, finally I can blabber about myself ;-}.
Well, I'm 15 years old, I live in Rehovot, Israel,
I like science fiction (in any form), and I also
program, play DOOM and others (but DOOM is the
best!) and explore the Internet. If you want to
play deathmatch against a DOOM 2 Master and a DOOM
1 Master, contact me by EMail and I'll deathmatch
you using IFrag. Please mail me any comments, I
promise to answer any mail I can! My EMail is:

(and I hope it's not temporary).
That's about it. Enjoy my LMPs, and happy frags!
