Exam file name : D2M-ATO.ZIP Title conquered : DOOM 2 Master Author : Alden Tondettar Completion date : 1995 11 12 Game and version used : DOOM II v. 1.9 Log entry : - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CHAL: D2M ATO Alden Tondettar 03 09 19 FFR-LLR-RFR : Alden Tondettar - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Substitutions? : YES, MAP03 with MAP13, MAP20, MAP24 System used : 486/66 VLB, SB clone Controls used : Keyboard + Mouse Right button redefined as Move Forward Free interpretation : MAP07-UV using only SSG, finished with 100% everything, 200% health/armor Comments : MAP03 Too easy; decided to substitue it with the three HARDEST levels (MAP13, MAP20, MAP24) MAP09 This level is well classified as MEDIUM. It can be hard if you don't know the "trick" to the level, which is to save any rooms with excessive lost souls for the end. This prevents those damn pain elementals from firing any skulls. (How nice of them!) MAP13 The hardest level in the set (IMHO). My strategy is NOT to authenticate at the start of the level, (I do it in the room with the 2 "holes") since this wakes up the demons that teleport in when you take the rocket launcher. The invulnerability may now be used for other purposes, like fighting the spiders/cacodemons without worrying about being hit. MAP19 Not much to say about this one. I got this as a HARD level, but it's more like MEDIUM, or even EASY. MAP20 MAP20 is NOT that hard. This is my favorite level in this set, but it just isn't HARDEST. I think this is a fun one to watch (or play, for that matter) anyway. I get off to a bad start with the chaingunner, but the rest of the level goes quite smoothly. MAP24 Many people have trouble with this level, but I think it's fairly easy, and actually quite fun. I am VERY sloppy in this lmp (took me six tries to jump down those red pillars!), but finish with 100% everything and 200% health/armor. BTW, after I kill all the demons in the blue room I still hear someone growling, and it takes me a few minutes to realize that it might be a lost soul. MAP07 (Free interpretation) Basically, I did everything described on the top of the DHT home page using only the super shotgun DOOM II, Level 07, Ultra-Violence, starting with a pistol, ending with 100% everything, 200% health and 200% armour. This is the sort of thing that the DHT is about. If you play like this, the DHT is right for you! Amazingly, I got this after a few tries, but wasn't recording my attemp. :( It must have taken me about 50 tries after that to get it right, and I still didn't do a good job. (It takes me 8:13 and I go down to 5% health near the end.) I decided to keep it anyway, mainly because 50 tries is enough. Author info : My first title. I hope to conquer all 5 basic and advanced titles for DOOM ][ before the big QUAKE, since I have no intentions of playing a game which looks like "A sad little cartoon".
