Exam file name : D1M-YZD.ZIP Title conquered : DOOM 1 Master Author : Yonatan Donner Completion date : 1996 01 21 (sorry for being slow, but I didn't have time earlier) Game and version used : The Ultimate DOOM v. 1.9 (will probably play correctly on the normal DOOM v. 1.9) Log entry : - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CHAL: D1M YZD Yonatan "ZNB" Donner 21 24 27 LLF-FLR-RLR : Yonatan.Donner@master.ExcellNet.co.il (Yonatan Donner) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Substitutions? : Yes, E2M4 (from the medium set) with E3M2, E3M3 and E3M4 (all from the hard set). There are two reasons for this substitution: 1. I wanted to make the exam harder (since DOOM I is practically a joke next to DOOM II - yes, watch my DOOM 2 Master demos - so I chose three hard levels instead of this one). 2. I already did E2M4 four times - once in cooperative mode, once in a single-player mode with saves, and twice in a single-player mode with 100% all in demo conditions. I HAD ENOUGH OF THIS LEVEL!! Anyway, I'm making a demo collection for the entire DOOM I game (actually it's already finished and I'll soon upload it to ftp.cdrom.com), and since E2M4 would have taken me about 15-20 minutes and E2M1 about 3-6 minutes I chose E2M1. I still wanted to do the assigned hard level - E2M7. That's the explanation. It made the title harder, but a lot more fun. System used : 486DX2/66 with 8MB RAM and a one week old SB16 (yes, I did my DOOM 2 Master with a normal SB). The fps is about 13-14. Controls used : Keyboard only - that's right, no mouse! The controls are: Fire - right control. Use - spacebar. Turning and walking - the arrow keys. Strafe on - right alt. Strafe left - pad 1. Strafe right - pad 3. Free interpretation : Well, the level is E3M6, chosen from the "very hard" set, completed with 100% kills and 100% secrets, exiting to Warrens, the secret level of episode 3. I wanted to show that I'm capable of doing a "very hard" level, and I saw that 80% of the DOOM 1 Masters who did a "very hard" level did E3M9, which is quite a joke and I don't see what it has to do with "very hard" and only 20% did E3M6 which is a LOT more difficult, so I did E3M6. I hope you enjoy the demo. Comments : Well: The assigned levels: 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 The assigned "easy" level: E2M1. It's a joke, as it should be. No comments. The assigned "medium" level: E2M4. I substituted that one for three "hard" levels - see the reasons above. See my comments about the substituting levels below. The assigned "hard" level: E2M7. This one is as easy as the rest of DOOM 1, I suppose. What I like about it is the fact that it's LOADED with ammo, so I didn't have to kill everyone with berserk. That's good, because I don't like being forced to kills enemies with berserk - I like doing it for fun!! It's really no big deal. The substitution levels: 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 E3M2 - from the "hard" set. It has a great music, and a nice map (check the map before you complete it). The dance is done twice because I got paranoid about the dance after I did E2M6 and forgot to dance. (Don't laugh.) Anyway don't worry, it's the same dance in the beginning and in the end. I originally planned to do E2M6, but since I had it completed with no dance I just added it to my demo collection and went on to the next "hard" level. It's a cute level. E3M3 - finally, the first BFG in the game! It's a funny level - an invulnerability replacing a radiation suit and other ridiculous stuff, but other than that it's just yet another level. By the way, it's from the "hard" set as well. E3M4 - this is from the "hard" set too. I originally thought it was complicated and boring, and I didn't know it very good, but it wasn't too bad if you ignore the obvious fact that I always face monsters with the wrong weapons. Other than that, it's not a very fun level, but it's ok. The free interpretation level: 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴 E3M6 - from the "very hard" set. See my comments about it above. Author info : Ah, finally I can blabber about myself ;-}. Well, I'm 15 years old, I live in Rehovot, Israel, I like science fiction (in any form), and I also program, play DOOM and others (but DOOM is the best!) and explore the Internet.
