Comments:
2nd Lightning title. Doom II is far more difficult than 1, in trial runs
I found the only 9 level sequence to be 15-21 with both secrets. MAP24
is very, very difficult (all those ledges) inhibiting MAP24-30 from the
sequence. MAP 22,23 are tough to do, and could be real frustraters
since you do them as the last levels of your run. MAP13's a tough one,
even done singly. MAP02, MAP08 make you do too much in UV to make
PAR feasable. This leaves 14-21 as the only viable sequence. Feel
free to prove me wrong in a FREE lmp.
FREE Interpretation: Thought on this one a bit. Looked thru log for ideas,
thought I'd try to chainsaw my way through the levels, starting with 1.
That fizzled pretty quick, so I thought "let's see how far I can go with
the 1meg demo limit). After getting to level 11, I decided to stop
(this completes our hero's first stage in Doom 1). As it is, the demo's
over an hour long. My description above says 99% kills or more. Was
going for 100, but missed something on MAP05, didn't feel like going back.
My last DHT title. Unless Frank adds something to incorporate ID's new
Doom I episode, or something. I'm not gonna try for Swartzenneger (demo
time limit is a problem on Doom II, and I gotta leave at least one epic for
someone else :-). It's been fun!
