The DOOM Honorific Titles Created by Frank Stajano on 1994 05 01 EDWIN PAUL STARK hereby conquers the title of DOOM 2 MASTER Exam file name : D2M6EPS.ZIP Title conquered : DOOM 2 Master Author : EDWIN PAUL STARK Completion date : 1997 08 18 Game and version used : DOOM II v. 1.9 Authentification Dance : FRF-RFR-FFL Log entry : 19970802 2302 CHAL: D2M6 EPS 06 12 27 (00) 19970802 2302 : EDWIN PAUL STARK Substitutions? : NO System used : 486/50 DX2 VLB with Sb16 Controls used : keyboard, default settings Free Interpretation : Level 13 (FREE_INT.LMP) Do this with KEYBOARD ONLY! It's tough that way! This recording is pretty boring (Lasts about 42 minutes) but I played it from memory ONCE! And my knees were shaking from the experience, my forearms tendons were twitching and my middle and index finger got locked into their positions. Then I decided I had enough and left it for good. It's a Free Interpretation, for crying out loud! Please don't bitch about not bagging 100 kills on a Free Interpretation, please! I really had a bad experience with this level. To make it worse, I hit all the fingers of my left hand the day before with a sledgehammer, so they were black and blue and swollen. Go figure. It has a interesting beginning, tough. The first two minutes I sprint for the following: a) the plasma gun at the northwest and b) the invulnerability in the northeast. Since I was running it on a 50 Mhz 486 the frame rate sucks, so I had to "unclutter" everything and fast. Comments : Level 06 (LEV06EPS.LMP) Yawn! Easy does it. Level 12 (LEV12EPS.LMP) If you think its boring, try to convince all 40+ imps and 9 mancubus to get in the way of the arachnotrons. This one almost made me climb up the wall. Not enough ammo for my taste. Level 27 (LEV27EPS.LMP) This one isn't as tough as they say, but I played it more than 50 times to get it right. Author info : A keyboard jockey, I hate the mouse to play Doom (I've never mastered it to play games, except Dark Castle. DARK WHAT!?!). If you think my recordings are lousy, I would like to see you trying it with a KEYBOARD ONLY. I DARE YOU! But now I'll take a rest before taking on another Doom Challenge. (Maybe I'll try Velox or Pacifist. Too bad Frank won't give away more epic titles.) I am currently putting together a dictionary of DOOM terminology, so if you have some to share, please E-mail me. Some of my own terms: Strolling the monster: sending a monster out a room thru a teleporter. Load: The ammo fired by a monster. Line-up: Managing to put lots of monsters in others way, so they end up shooting it out. Undeliverable: a stubborn monster (won't tele- port or won't get in the way of another monster's load) Framing the monster: Using a small door to lock a monster and make it rather safe to shoot down.
