Pretty good Fujitsu keyboard. Controls used : keyboard only, default configuration, with strafe left/right redefined as Z and X respectively (not used in any of these recordings) Free interpretation : Map11, NIGHTMARE!!! Comments: Originally I was only going to do a Master exam and be done with it, but Peo suggested that I get some more advanced titles, so here I am... Playing Yagyu style (what the hell is a Yagyu, anyway?) really isn't much fun, although it's a lot more challenging than normal UV (well, the monsters are faster, DUH...) and a good place to start if you want to play Nightmare. MAP04-GM.LMP: Ugh, I hate doing this level from scratch, even on normal UV. Lots of cornerinspecting is necessary for survival. :( Time = 3:05 MAP15-GM.LMP: One of my favorite levels, so I thought I would sail through this one...NOT!! Those chaingun willies made my normal route impossible, so I had to come up with a new, safer course. Of course that made it a lot easier to get lost as well... Thanks to Peo for showing me the switch trick and the "back door" to the arachnotron. Time = 18:22 MAP10-GM.LMP: The start of this one is pure hell. I discovered the blue key route by accident, which works about 5% of the time (still better than the stand-and-fight method, I always ran out of ammo that way.) After that it's no problem, if you reach the green armor with ample health you are guaranteed to make it, as long as you don't do something COMPLETELY stupid... Time = 18:40 FREE-GM.LMP: Well, I did map11 for Master and Velox, so this was an obvious choice for a free...but decided to go one step further and play it in NIGHTMARE. I highly recommend this map as a crash-course in Nightmare training, you probably won't survive but you will have many, many spectacular deaths! Although rated a "hard" NM level, it's so short you just have to wait for the monsters to let you pass... I'm also impressed with myself, my time was only one second slower than the Compet-N record!! (At least since it was updated last, which was in 1986, I think...) Oh yeah, there's no safe place to dance here, so I do it at the start of level 12 (and play through as much of that level as I can, just for fun.) Time = 1:58.
