The DOOM Honorific Titles Created by Frank Stajano on 1994 05 01 George Bell hereby conquers the title of Doom 2 Speedy Gonzales Exam file name : d2sg-gib.zip Title conquered : Doom 2 Speedy Gonzales Author : George I. Bell (GIB) Completion date : 1996 02 29 Game and version used : Doom II v. 1.9 Log entry 1/16/96: CHAL: D2SG GIB George I. Bell 07 09 08 RLR-RRF-RRR : George Bell Substitutions? : NO Free interpretation : MAP09 "The Pit" under Par in UV, showing harmless pain elementals. System used : 486 DX2/66, 16MB RAM, NO SOUND CARD Controls used : Mouse+Keyboard Mouse : Left button - fire Right button - forward Keyboard : Z - strafe left X - backward C - strafe right Ctrl - speed mode Comments: All three of these levels are quite easy once the route was discovered. So I decided to also beat the best times set by previous D2SG title holders. MAP07: Under 1:00 is a fun challenge here. The best SG time I found was 1:38 by JLE, I blew this away with a time of 0:56 (Par 2:00). This took countless tries coming in just over a minute, including two runs of exactly 1:00. MAP09: "The Pit". This is a complex level and finding a fast route it is the hard part. I resorted to watching Andreas Kren's (AAK) performance where I discovered the trick for keeping the chaingunners under wraps while getting the rocket launcher. After this par was pretty easy, but beating Andreas' time took many more tries. I finally beat it by 6 seconds, 3:01 (Par 4:30). MAP08: No way is this level hard. In fact it's probably the easiest of the three. This is a near flawless run, except that I got boxed in by the Demon in the final room and lost maybe 7 seconds. The reason I open the door at the beginning is to divert the Baron who teleports into the starting area. Otherwise he often re-enters the Baron/Cyberdemon room and when you hit the switch the door is already open and closes by the time you get over to it. Watch this in overhead view to watch the Baron being diverted (type iddt twice in map mode). This clean a run is considerably more difficult than it appears; took me dozens of tries, 0:41 (Par 2:00). FREE: Level 9, "The Pit", has a lot more monsters in UV, so I figured it would be a challenge to beat par. You run into many pain elementals, but they are all completely harmless as they can't spit lost souls. This lmp shows this anomaly well, I even use them strategically as "blockers". I did this a half dozen times under par, and this isn't the cleanest run, but it was the fastest. Watch me run right into a Baron-Caco sandwich trap, from which I barely escape alive. The whole last half of the level I'm limping along, ending with 7% health, 4:08 (Par 4:30)! Author Unlike many DHT holders, I am not 14 years old! Over 30, in fact. Info: I have never played this game with sound, I suppose this may put me at somewhat of a disadvantage.
