Exam file name : D2GM-PBM.ZIP Title conquered : DOOM 2 Grand Master Author : Patrick Martin Completion date : 1996 07 15 Game and version used : DOOM II v. 1.9 Log entry : - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CHAL: D2GM PBM Patrick Martin 02 10 15 RLR-LFL-FFL : cmarti39@icon.net - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Substitutions? : NO Additions to base : MAP23 (Medium) System used : Gateway 2000 P5-100, 16MB RAM Gateway 2000 AnyKey keyboard. Controls used : keyboard only, default controls Free interpretation : Exit MAP18 immediately after suicide. Comments : I think I got a relatively easy triplet. I made the lmps as quickly as possible. I could have made some of the lmps better, but I don't have much time right now, and I want to fill the base before someone else does. MAP02 : Easy as expected. 'Nuff said. MAP10 : The hardest thing to do was to survive the beginning of the level. Once I got the chaingun and a berserk pack, the rest of the level was not too difficult, aside from conserving ammo. I ignored the chainsaw because I did not want to waste time changing to the fist when I want to punch someone's lights out. MAP15 : This is one of the easier levels in the hard set. In fact, I would reclassify this level as a medium level. The key is to divide-and-conquer. OUT-OF-BASE LEVEL MAP23 (medium) : This is my out-of-base level. I had to choose between doing this level or doing all of levels in the hard set because MAP23 is the only out- of-base level left. I am somewhat surprised that MAP23 is out-of-base. It is easier than MAP24 or MAP29. The hardest part of this level is exterminating all of the pain elementals. All you need to do is as soon as warp into the pain elemental room, shoot the wall then run into the teleporter room and hide behind the door. At this point, all I need to do is to wait until the lost souls eat each other and the pain elementals alive. Once all of the pain elementals are destroyed, it is only a matter of time to finish the level. FREE INTERPRETATION MAP18 (and some MAP19) : MAP18 is one of my favorite levels. I think it is rather amusing to die and exit the level. I could not squeeze the full desciption of the free interpretation in less than 60 characters. The description should read MAP18 under par on UV with -fast and -respawn, exit immediately after suicide. What this lmp will show is me completing the level under par after I shoot a demon at point-blank range with the rocket launcher. The blast will kill my player and send him into the exit. When he rematerializes in MAP19, he starts only with 100% health and 50 bullets. At this point, I let the player die as quickly as possible. This demostrates that it is possible to exit the level dead and start the next level without all the goodies you have accumulated. Author info : I am 24 years old. This is my first DHT-title. I started playing DOOM when I tried shareware DOOM last July. Then I got DOOM II in September. I have played DOOM more than any other game. I also made several levels. My levels can be found in PM1523.WAD or PM2129.WAD.
