Exam file name : D2M-YZD.ZIP Title conquered : DOOM 2 Master Author : Yonatan "ZNB" Donner (actually my real name is just Yonatan Donner) Completion date : 1995 11 27 Game and version used : DOOM II v. 1.9 Log entry : - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CHAL: D2M YZD Yonatan "ZNB" Donner 05 25 27 FRR-RLL-RFF : Yonatan.Donner@master.ExcellNet.co.il (Yonatan Donner) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Substitutions? : NO (thank you, but I could handle those) System used : 486DX2/66 with SB 2.0 Controls used : Keyboard only. Most of it is from the defaults: Moving and turning - keypad (keypad "8" for forward etc.) Running - right shift Firing - right control Strafing - right alt (I don't use strafe left and strafe right) Free interpretation : MAP08, Tricks and Traps, Ultra-Violence, not only under par, but also below 1 minute (0:55) and without using the soul sphere and never getting hit from anyone! Comments : MAP05 - The Waste Tunnels - this level, taken from the easy set, is truly easy. The demo in here is my first try. There really isn't much to say about it, except perhaps: Killing imps with Berserk is FUN!!!! Note: It becomes "instant carnage" if I use a fist so I do the dance some time after the beginning. MAP25 - Bloodfalls - this is a level from the medium set, but it isn't medium. It's much easier. This is my second try - I forgot some troopers in the first one and got 99% or 98% kills. I liked it very much because of the part in which I had 2% health. I like surviving such situations. In the end, I heard the voice of a living monster and searched the entire level for it but couldn't find it. I had more than 100% kills, so I guess I will never know if there was someone living there... Note: Like MAP05, this one also becomes "instant carnage" if I use the fist, so I do the dance later here, too. MAP27 - Monster Condo - it is called "hard" for a very good reason. When I practiced (without recording) I only survived once. The part with the pain elementals is really very dangerous. To my huge surprise, I finished it in my first try! (Though my heartbeat was about 3 times higher than normal :-) ) I didn't do the dance right in the beginning because I wanted to reach a sector with ammo that closes about 30 seconds after the level starts. Sorry. Another note about the dance: Before switching to pistol after it, I accidentally pressed "control" again, so the dance actually looks like this: FRR-RLL-RFFF instead of FRR-RLL-RFF It's just an extra fist, and the dance is just as it should be, only with another fist after it. Ignore it since it's AFTER the dance is finished. MAP08 - I wanted to use my free interpretation to do something that requires speed (yes, with the keyboard) and not just "shotgunism", so I did MAP08, which many people think is a complicated level, under 1 minute - 0:55 seconds without taking the soul sphere so that I won't have an extra advantage on the monsters, and I didn't need it anyway - I didn't get hit at all. I even did 16% kills (how?!). If you want to see the fastest way of finishing MAP08, it's right here. Note: I did the dance, then died, and then did the level, so that the dance won't add time to my finishing time. I wanted to prove that I can be quick, and not only kill. That's why I didn't do the same map with 100% kills, items and secret but with time longer than 10 minutes... Author info : I'm nearly 15 years old (yes, still in school), love DOOM of course and computers in general, admire Star Trek and science fiction in general, and live in Rehovot, Israel. Please contact me if you have ANYTHING to comment, or anything at all to tell me, because I read and answer all mail (meanwhile...). This address might be temporary for the next three months only. Then again, maybe not.
