Substitutions? : NO
(thank you, but I could handle those)
System used : 486DX2/66 with SB 2.0
Controls used : Keyboard only. Most of it is from the defaults:
Moving and turning - keypad (keypad "8" for forward
etc.)
Running - right shift
Firing - right control
Strafing - right alt (I don't use strafe left and
strafe right)
Free interpretation : MAP08, Tricks and Traps, Ultra-Violence, not only
under par, but also below 1 minute (0:55) and
without using the soul sphere and never getting
hit from anyone!
Comments : MAP05 - The Waste Tunnels - this level, taken from
the easy set, is truly easy. The demo in here is my
first try. There really isn't much to say about
it, except perhaps: Killing imps with Berserk is
FUN!!!! Note: It becomes "instant carnage" if I
use a fist so I do the dance some time after the
beginning.
MAP25 - Bloodfalls - this is a level from the
medium set, but it isn't medium. It's much easier.
This is my second try - I forgot some troopers in
the first one and got 99% or 98% kills. I liked it
very much because of the part in which I had 2%
health. I like surviving such situations. In the
end, I heard the voice of a living monster and
searched the entire level for it but couldn't find
it. I had more than 100% kills, so I guess I will
never know if there was someone living there...
Note: Like MAP05, this one also becomes "instant
carnage" if I use the fist, so I do the dance
later here, too.
MAP27 - Monster Condo - it is called "hard" for a
very good reason. When I practiced (without
recording) I only survived once. The part with the
pain elementals is really very dangerous. To my
huge surprise, I finished it in my first try!
(Though my heartbeat was about 3 times higher than
normal :-) ) I didn't do the dance right in the
beginning because I wanted to reach a sector with
ammo that closes about 30 seconds after the level
starts. Sorry. Another note about the dance:
Before switching to pistol after it, I
accidentally pressed "control" again, so the dance
actually looks like this: FRR-RLL-RFFF instead of
FRR-RLL-RFF
It's just an extra fist, and the dance is just as
it should be, only with another fist after it.
Ignore it since it's AFTER the dance is finished.
MAP08 - I wanted to use my free interpretation to
do something that requires speed (yes, with the
keyboard) and not just "shotgunism", so I did
MAP08, which many people think is a complicated
level, under 1 minute - 0:55 seconds without
taking the soul sphere so that I won't have an
extra advantage on the monsters, and I didn't need
it anyway - I didn't get hit at all. I even did 16%
kills (how?!). If you want to see the fastest way
of finishing MAP08, it's right here. Note: I did
the dance, then died, and then did the level, so
that the dance won't add time to my finishing time.
I wanted to prove that I can be quick, and not only
kill. That's why I didn't do the same map with
100% kills, items and secret but with time longer
than 10 minutes...
Author info : I'm nearly 15 years old (yes, still in school),
love DOOM of course and computers in general,
admire Star Trek and science fiction in general,
and live in Rehovot, Israel. Please contact me if
you have ANYTHING to comment, or anything at all
to tell me, because I read and answer all mail
(meanwhile...). This address might be temporary
for the next three months only. Then again, maybe
not.
