Free Interpretation     : Episode 1 Mission 2. (FREE_VLX.LMP) Okay, I know
                         this one is darn easy. But if you followed my
                         career so far, you'll know I'm a keyboard man. (See
                         below)
                         I was checking a list of posibilities for my free
                         interpretation and found this one begging to be
                         done. I usually do it 30 secs flat with pistol only,
                         but could I do it grabbing at least the chaingun?
                         So I decided to try it with this slight self-impo-
                         ssed handicap on. I know lot of mousers could do it
                         with less, but, again, I use only the keyboard.

Comments                : Episode 3 Mission 5 (E3L5_VLX.LMP) Another easy
                         one. I just needed two trials runs to warm up.
                         Episode 2 Mission 3 (E2L3_VLX.LMP) Short and power-
                         ful, this level delivers some goodies. But I had
                         to replay it a lot, because it's more based on
                         luck than skill to finish it. Most of the time I
                         kept bumping on that Baron of Hell when he was
                         blocking the door out the Blue Keycard room.
                         Episode 2 Mission 7 (E2L7_VLX.LMP) This level isn't
                         difficult at all. It's just TOO DARN LONG. After
                         the Nth replay, I was just dancing with demons
                         (a nice title for a movie? Naah! Can't be!) among
                         the crates, but it was always a little infuriating
                         if I did a misstep somewhere. Lots of places to
                         stumble on and be stuck on a wall.

Author info             : A keyboard jockey, I hate the mouse to play Doom
                         (I've never mastered it to play games, except
                         Dark Castle. DARK WHAT!?!). If you think my
                         recordings are lousy, I would like to see you
                         trying it with a KEYBOARD ONLY. When I put together
                         my Doom Velox Exam, I felt right at home. Running
                         around, shooting things, without constraints of
                         100 % kills or anything else than par time.
                         Ah, great... (Having to hunt down everything on
                         a mission freaks me out. It's a little beyond my
                         patience).
                         I am currently putting together a dictionary of
                         DOOM terminology. I delivered some of my own
                         coining in my Doom 2 Master Exam and here
                         are a few more, so if you have some to share,
                         please E-mail them to me.
                         Some more of my own terms:
                         ROAMER: A silly monster, which goes bumping around
                         a room amd won't come at you even if he sees you.
                         DANCING A ROOM: Going thru a room zig-zagging
                         among monsters.
                         CALLING ATTENTION: The shot you blast in a room
                         entrance to attract the monsters to you OR the
                         shot you place in the face of a roamer so you can
                         start putting it out of its misery. Not valid for
                         imps, humans or sargents if using something more
                         beyond fist or pistol. (Dark origins of the term:
                         There's an old joke of using a sledgehammer to hit
                         a mule's head just to get its attention, henceforth
                         I consider using a shotgun at the head of a demon
                         an appropiate attention call.)
