The DOOM Honorific Titles Created by Frank Stajano on 1994 05 01 Yonatan "ZNB" Donner hereby conquers the title of DOOM 1 Speedy Gonzales. Exam file name : D1SG-YZD.ZIP Title conquered : DOOM 1 Speedy Gonzales Author : Yonatan Donner Completion date : 04-04-96 (the day it arrived at my BBS) Game and version used : The Ultimate Doom v1.9, but I think you can also use the normal Doom v1.9 to view the demos too.

System used : Pentium 133 (new!!!) with SB16 (quite new) Controls used : Keyboard ONLY with default controls but with two changes: Strafe left - keypad 1 ("end") Strafe right - keypad 3 ("page down") Free interpretation : For my free interpretation I wanted to do something nice which I couldn't find anywhere. There are many runs of episode 1 available, but nobody did it with 100% kills including E1M9, so that's what I did. The free interpretation is a demo of the entire episode 1 (the best episode!), including the secret E1M9, all levels with 100% kills. It didn't take as long as I thought, but it isn't too short so don't expect it to end in 20 minutes or something. Blessed is the maxdemo (or something like that). The demo takes (including non-playing screens) 01:01:53 hours to view, but I did the individual levels quite quickly. See the time table in the "comments" section. Comments : OK, brace yourselves (this is *long*): I'll begin with a general saying: It was very easy. All of the demos are my first tries. I'm used to UV and not HMP, so occasionally I search for monsters that aren't there or fire at a wall (yeah, that showed that wall!). Now specifics: E1M3 - A fun easy level which is nicer with 100% kills/secret but it was very easy for Speedy Gonzales too. E1M5 - Another easy level. Nothing to say. E2M7 - It's easy but it's boring. I personally think that episode 1 is great but episodes 2 and 3 aren't very good (large levels which look bad with endless rooms that look exactly the same way - E2M6 mostly). This one is not so bad but it has many rooms and I forgot it from the last time I played it. So I got confused and lost about 10 seconds (still 2 minutes under par), but there weren't enough monsters there to kill me. DOOM 1 is so easy... Episode 1 - well, I've just finished doing this (first try of course) and it was long but fun. I like the first episode much more than the rest, because it looks a lot better (E1M7 is wonderful), and episode 4 is quite good too. I saw many runs of episodes when the player takes the shortest route to the exit, and many single-level recordings with 100% kills/secret. But I saw no runs for entire episodes with 100% kills/secret, so I thought it's time to make one - after all, when you play normally that's the way you take: Doom as it should be played! Here is a timetable and after that you can find my comments about the individual levels: Note: the table contains ASCII table codes, so if your viewer doesn't like that and shows strange letters or something, just load another editor that allows that. NO PANIC!

I didn't use the Ultimate Doom switch so that every one (even those with normal Doom v. 1.9) will be able to play it. As Anthe (I think) put it: "Oh what a social boy ;-)" E1M2 - Nuclear Plant -------------------- Another easy level, this one has a dark labyrinth with frightening troopers :-) I hate those labyrinths in episode 1 because they take so much time and you have to use the automap to get 100% kills and secret. E1M3 - Toxin Refinery --------------------- I recall seeing someone's free interpretation called "how NOT to do E1M3". This demo has some good parts but it has some stupid mistakes, such as: Running into the middle of a group of imps, getting a barrel blown in my face by a (suicidal) sergeant etc.. I used the secret exit of course so that I'll do E1M9 too. E1M9 - Military Base -------------------- I jumped on all the columns but one. If you want to see me jump on all of them, see the E1M9 demo in DM1FULL.ZIP. I just didn't need that shotgun. E1M4 - Command Control ---------------------- Another stupid maze! E1M5 - Phobos Lab ----------------- A nice level. Why did I get 88% secrets? (If you know, mail me) E1M6 - Central Processing ------------------------- How many mazes are there in episode 1? Other than that it's a good level. E1M7 - Computer Station ----------------------- I love that one. Those windows... E1M8 - Phobos Anomaly --------------------- I didn't get hit during the entire level (until the end). I also managed to kill every monster in the end before the episode ended (you can check if you like). I think I got 100% items because I took the soulsphere and the partial invisibility. That's it!

I'm the programmer of LMPTXT, the automatic LMP to TXT template converter (generator? whatever). It's currently in beta testing, but look for it soon! I have 4 Doom Honourific Titles so far: DOOM 1 Master DOOM 2 Master DOOM 1 Speedy Gonzales DOOM 2 Speedy Gonzales I wonder why aren't there any Heretic masters? If you have any idea, please mail me. Actually, please give me feedback because I love getting mail. And if anyone has Heretic-master-class demos for Heretic, please mail them to me. I love writing huge text files, but unfortunately I have nothing more to write. Bye then.
