Comments : You might take note that all of these LMPs were recorded on a computer here at work (Hughes Aircraft Company, but don't tell anyone :-) ), so I didn't have a sound card available. Hence, I could not tell if someone was sneaking up on me, or attacking me from behind, until I got hit and my screen turned red. This made it quite a bit harder, but I still managed to conquer the title. E1M6-UV: Obviously, an easy level. I must have recorded LMP after LMP of this one, but could never manage to get 100% kills. So you'll notice that after I've killed everyone, I go running around the level looking for some more monsters that might have escaped my guns the first time. I don't find any, so it's rather boring to watch. I apologize for this... ;-) E2M5-UV: God, I love that plasma rifle. It's the perfect weapon for killing Barons of Hell. And the Chainsaw is a pretty nice weapon too for killing Cacodemons! ;-) (This was a fun little short battle..) E2M7-UV: I don't know why this level is in the "Hardest" level set. I found it far easier than E2M5. I rarely run out of ammo, and end up using the Chainsaw a lot, especially on the Demons. It's pretty fun to watch the Cacodemons beat up on the Baron of Hell at one point, but the Baron clearly has the advantage; he killed both Cacodemons, and I still had to hit him with two rockets before he died. One little minor problem with this LMP: I hit the "Pause" key for about five seconds at one point. E1M5-UV: No, this isn't the hardest level I've ever seen. However, it really is a bugger on "chainsaw-only" mode. There is a LOT of sneaking around, hiding behind corners in this one. It can't be avoided. It was a BITCH to finish, too. I must have recorded 20 different versions of this before I finally managed to finish it alive. Hope you enjoy it! Author info : I am a Systems Programmer at Hughes Aircraft Company, and since I only have a lowly 386SX/20 at home, I have to squeeze in a little bit of DOOM playing here at work during my lunch hour. I attended California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona), and graduated in 12/94. At the time of this writing (5/4/95) I'm 27 years old, and married. I suppose that it's rather good that my computer at home can't play DOOM; my marriage would undoubtedly suffer for it. :-) I have Linux installed on my 386SX/20 at home (it's about the only thing good about that computer), as well as my 486DX2/66 here at work. I'm fanatical about Magic: The Gathering, and play it as often as I can. I also enjoy reading a lot. Right now I am on page 593 of _The_Shadow_Rising_, by Robert Jordan (the book has 980 pages). I'm also reading _Dragon_Prince_, by Melanie Rawn, and _Forrest_ _Gump_, by Winston Groom. My home page sucks, so I won't give the URL for it. I'd like to extend my SINCERE appreciation to Frank Stajano, for creating the Doom Honorific Titles program. I've been a DM (DOOM Master) since the DHT3 came out, and now I can claim another DOOM title to my name: D1M. I'd also like to thank id Software for creating such a wonderful game. It's truly one of the best games ever created. My email address (should you feel like emailing me) is "pettit@acm.org". The email address given in the DHT4 log is valid right now, but it will no longer be valid in about 3-4 months. Have a wonderful day, enjoy my LMPs, and Keep On DOOMing!! :-)
