Comments : My first challenge included e2m9, e1m9 and e4m3. The two secret
levels weren't a problem, but I couldn't handle e4m3 - just can't punch those barons. So,
here's the second challenge.
e3m3 - Used the pistol more than I would like - got in a little trouble
early. Once I got the berserk pack, I was (almost) home free.
e2m7 - Again, too much pistol, because I got in trouble early. Again, the
presence of a berserk pack (and invulnerability) makes this relatively simple if you get
past all the pigs at the beginning. The dance is before I open the blue door.
e1m6 - This was a pain - not because it's so hard, but because I had a
decent lmp (10 minutes shorter than this one) and I forgot the @#$%&*@ dance. So, I
had to do it again and I kept making stupid mistakes. I do the dance twice, just to be
sure... The key to this one (for me) is to go into the last room with lots of bullets so you
can pistol-whip all those pigs and spectres.
Free interp - e1m8, pacifist style. This shows the famous "barrel trick"
for disposing of barons, for all you "pacifists" out there. I think one could do this
"pacifist tyson" - 100% kills w/o harming any monsters. I had one lmp where
EVERYBODY (including myself) was killed, but I lost it. Something to shoot for...
Author info : I'm a biology professor with an obsession for DooM - too many late
nights playing DooM while the rest of the family sleeps and I should be working on a
lecture or sleeping! I'm also a marine combat vet of Vietnam... This is my sixth DHT6
title (I have six DHT5 titles as well). Thanks to George Bell and the Tyson collection
folks - though I didn't use any of their ideas for these levels I have used them in other
levels and contexts.
