Memory and SB Value 16 Multimedia kit. Controls used : Keyboard + mouse, with some keys redefined as follows: forward e reverse d turn left s turn right f strafe left w strafe right r fast a Free interpretation : My free LMP is E1M1 on Ultra Violence with 100% kills without firing a shot. THE LONG VERSION. Reading the description above, it seems totally inadequate to describe the torture it took to get this LMP. I could not come up with any good ideas for a free interpretation but the thought finishing a level without firing a shot would be interesting. And why not start at the beginning - E1M1? But that turned out to be a really bad choice. Lots of Former Sergeants with shotguns and no health till near the exit make for really tough going. And no Bezerk Pack or Chainsaw to ease the passing. I had worked on this project when I had the shareware version and concluded that it was near impossible in any level higher than Hurt Me Plenty. On the other hand I had just finished a lot of fist work for the other two assigned levels and felt my pugilistic skills might be up to it. I worked on developing a plan for days and had given up on the idea. Just too damn many shotguns between the start and some health. Then I stumbled across the door that would let me go around most of the crowd. And this LMP was born. The stats are: Kills 100% Items 97% Secrets 100% TIME 7:33 PAR 0:30 Comments : I had not played Doom 1 to much before starting this project and had never made LMPs on any of the Maps. E1M5 was rock and roll but E3M4 and E3M5 were slow and tedious work. Without the super shotgun Demons and Barons last forever. I had trouble making them exciting so I did them Tyson style, without chainsaw It does not make the LMPs any easier to watch but it sure made them fun! I would recommend trying Tyson style for all Doom players once they have basic movement more or less under control. E1M5 Map 5 is super fun to blitz and I try to do my best impression of the Hunter in this LMP. Looking for action like the game demos? Then this is the LMP to watch. The only LMP in this set to come remotely close anyway. The other files may be technically difficult but long and boring (unless you are looking for LMPs showing Barons & Cacodemons being punched out). I did not finish with 200% health & armor (162% & 164%). The stats are: Kills 100% Items 100% Secrets 100% TIME 6:50 PAR 2:45 E3M4 I have trouble understanding why this level would be in the hard set and why no one has added it to the Tyson base yet (I have read and understand the base addendum to the rules and know that this LMP does not add to the base). It was easier than E3M5 and a natural for Tyson style play. The goal was to finish 200% health & armor but 4% health was lost picking up the Soul Sphere to finish 196% health 200% armor. Should have planned to leave some health vials for this. Nothing really to recommends this LMP for viewing, just lots and lots of Demons and punching. The stats are: Kills 100% Items 95% Secrets 100% TIME 26:17 PAR 2:30 E3M5 I REALLY agree that this map should be in the hard set for D1T. There are lots of options that should help though. Like using the transporter to kill most of the Demons in the Bezerk Pack room. Same with one of the Barons. I try to take out the Baron that way but miss and end up punching him out. The other option is to use the chainsaw more. Or let the monsters duke it out more, thinning out the ranks in the process. I tried to punch out most of the Barons but only end up completely finishing off one by hand. I practiced and practiced this but can still only take one out (more or less cleanly) 20% of the time. Cacodemons on the other hand are about a 50%-50% proposition. I think I end up punching out three or so in this LMP. The level did ended with the Marine at max health, 200% The stats are: Kills 100% Items 97% Secrets 90% TIME 23:57 PAR 1:30 Author info : This is the second title that I have worked on but probably not the last. I had a terrible time deciding on a Free recording. I felt bad about doing MAP32 for the D2M Free when I realized that EVERYONE does that Map. I thought this Free LMP would be a change of pace, but latter found out that Jonathan Hoof had already done E2M2 without firing a shot. Oh well! I have another name to add to the must see list: Tom Mustaine - Mr Paradox. Jonathan Hoof can punch thru a level faster than I can shoot thru one, Tom can clear rooms faster than I can remember how to GET to the next room and Steffen Winterfeldt is Mr Nightmare. Get any of these guys LMPs for prime time video. Watching these guys play I know that a lot of work (play?) is ahead of me. But for now I have completed: Doom Master Doom ][ Master
