Several other people have adopted it since. Its main advantages over the default are that the left hand rests more comfortably on the keyboard (you do feel that after several hours of play!) and that the weapons are available by touch-typing. Its only drawback became apparent when I entered a tournament in London and discovered that, when there is a fourth (red) player, the R key (fire) stops working because it sends messages to red. Ouch. To cure this, be the red player yourself. Free interpretation : E2M8-UV (the cyberdemon), 200% health and armour, no damage taken throughout the level. Comments : DOOM 1 is old hat now, so I felt I had to do outstanding LMPs if I wanted anyone to watch them. The assigned one that I'm really proud of is E2M9. E2M1-UV: Furious fighting, but it's an easy one. Nothing special to highlight. The dance is near the beginning, just after killing the first batch of marines. E2M9-UV: I've seen many recordings of this one, even outside the DHT, so I tried to set the record straight. 200% health and armour, no damage taken throughout the level, 100% everything, and under par. Beat that! :-) I also demonstrate that it's possible to do the dance before the end: watch for it just as I rush out of the main room and grab the rocket launcher. E3M8-UV: This can be a tricky one if you can't persuade the spider to have a good fight with the baron. The key is in deciding to get off the ledge at the right moment. I believe that, theoretically, this one too can be done without taking any damage, but I've never done it. This is one of my best attempts, though. Author info : I am completely nuts for DOOM -- so much so that I invented the DHT. I am reasonably good at deathmatch (although several players I know can beat me) but sadly I don't have the opportunity to play it very often. I earned a DM title under the old rules.
