Comments:
E1M1 - Simple. Hot-dogged with some barrel-punching at the end. Also
did the new switches available in Ultimate Doom, so this'll require
that version of the game to run.
E2M3 - Took me about 12 minutes to punch through this level. Early
beserk fist makes this somewhat straightforward, if not too exciting.
E1M8 - Not a "hard" level...plenty of bullets and health to go around.
Only interesting thing that happens here is my slaying of the second
Baron with my fist.
E2M5 - (Base expander, rated hard) - Lots of cacodemons and barons make
this level hard (certainly harder than my E1M8 challenge!). On the plus
side, an early beserk fist and an eventual chainsaw make it doable
without much need for ammo. I also learned that a beserk fist is a fine
weapon against a baron (given enough strafing room, that is).
E1M7 - I was hard pressed to think of a good free interp - thoughts of
doing E1M8, fist-only, were derailed by a low success ratio (0%). So I
decided to try a D1SG-style level, rated "hardest". I also forgot that
D1SG is done on "hurt me plenty", not UV, so I ran it on UV for added
fun. Didn't take long, just a few attempts that were over by a few
seconds, and the occasional death before I got one where I snuck out a
few seconds under par.
