Comments:
Originally I was only going to do a Master exam and be done with it, but Peo
suggested that I get some more advanced titles, so here I am...
Playing Yagyu style (what the hell is a Yagyu, anyway?) really isn't much
fun, although it's a lot more challenging than normal UV (well, the monsters
are faster, DUH...) and a good place to start if you want to play Nightmare.
MAP04-GM.LMP: Ugh, I hate doing this level from scratch, even on normal UV.
Lots of cornerinspecting is necessary for survival. :( Time = 3:05
MAP15-GM.LMP: One of my favorite levels, so I thought I would sail through
this one...NOT!! Those chaingun willies made my normal route impossible,
so I had to come up with a new, safer course. Of course that made it a lot
easier to get lost as well... Thanks to Peo for showing me the switch trick
and the "back door" to the arachnotron. Time = 18:22
MAP10-GM.LMP: The start of this one is pure hell. I discovered the blue
key route by accident, which works about 5% of the time (still better than
the stand-and-fight method, I always ran out of ammo that way.) After that
it's no problem, if you reach the green armor with ample health you are
guaranteed to make it, as long as you don't do something COMPLETELY
stupid... Time = 18:40
FREE-GM.LMP: Well, I did map11 for Master and Velox, so this was an obvious
choice for a free...but decided to go one step further and play it in
NIGHTMARE. I highly recommend this map as a crash-course in Nightmare
training, you probably won't survive but you will have many, many
spectacular deaths! Although rated a "hard" NM level, it's so short
you just have to wait for the monsters to let you pass... I'm also
impressed with myself, my time was only one second slower than the Compet-N
record!! (At least since it was updated last, which was in 1986, I
think...) Oh yeah, there's no safe place to dance here, so I do it at the
start of level 12 (and play through as much of that level as I can, just
for fun.) Time = 1:58.
