Bourlas conquers the title of Doom 2 Speedy Gonzales. Exam file name : d2sg-pnb.zip Title conquered : Doom 2 Speedy Gonzales Author : Phidias N.

I take the blur sphere (partial invisibility) and I run to the secret exit. MAP10 is easy/medium, but only after finding out the right strategy. Look at it! MAP08 is easy/medium; there are many invulnerabilities. Here's the strategy: Cyberdemon-barons room, wait a little, 1st invuln., yellow key, 2nd invuln., cacos room, plasma gun, imps room, red key, invuln., exit room. My free lmp is MAP31 on hurt-me-plenty, in time 0:40, without taking anything and without shooting. I just run to the normal exit. It's not easy to survive this way. The time is near the minimum possible (at least with keyboard-only). I've done it in 0:39 too, but the authentication dance was wrong. :-( The D2SG title was easier to conquer than D1SG. Though in D2 there are plenty of monsters at hmp skill, the challenge was just find out the best path. (Seems D2 levels are not one-way-to-the-exit.) But perhaps I was lucky; I haven't examined the SG concept on all D2 levels to make a secure judgment. Author info : Born on 27 Nov. 1970 in Athens, Greece. Electrical & Computer Engineer.
