Exam file name : D1GM-MGP.ZIP Title conquered : DOOM 1 Grand Master Author : Mike Pratt Completion date : 1996 3 5 Game and version used : Ultimate DOOM v. 1.90 Log entry - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CHAL: D1GM MGP Mike Pratt 39 24 13 FRF-FFF-LRR : "Michael G Pratt" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Substitutions? : NO Additions to the base : E3M4 (Medium) Systems used : 90MHz NexGen NX586 PCI, S3-Trio64 Video (STB Power Graph 64, 2Meg), 16 Meg Memory, SB 16, Mitsumi FX400 CD, and Mouse Man 3 button serial mouse. Controls used : Keyboard + mouse, with some keys redefined as follows: forward e reverse d turn left s turn right f strafe left w strafe right r fast a left button fire center button run left button strafe Free interpretation: Episode 1 Nightmare until death. Not much to say about this except that it will not take very long to watch this. Comments: " ... the often discussed 'impossibility' of playing at 'Nightmare!' skill is a prejudice." This line is cut directly from Steffen Winterfeldt's D1S-SW.TXT file. In my case the same applies to -fast. If I play -fast the same as straight UV, it soon becomes the same. If I think that it requires more caution or whatever, then it will. Addition: E3M4 (Medium) I have seen this Map way to many times but it was one of the two available for expanding the base so here it is AGAIN! The stats are: Kills 100% Items 93% Secrets 50% TIME 17:03 PAR 2:30 E3M9: Unlike the other GM exams I reviewed, I used the first Invulnerability Sphere to punch out the Specters instead of on the Cyber Demon since he is harmless and it helps conserve ammo, which is a plus for this Map. Forgot to even pick up the Plazma Gun as it is not needed using this strategy. The stats are: Kills 100% Items 91% Secrets 100% TIME 8:12 PAR 2:15 E2M4: Tina Edwards added this Map and commented that it was necessary to watch the ammo a little. I used Phidias Bourlas tactic of keeping the Imps and Barons in their rooms (in circular underground area) to help out with this. Unlike Phidias, I used the shotgun on the Cacodemons to do this because I think it makes a more interesting LMP. This tactic helps out on ammo to the point that I never fire the Plazma Rifle (do not know why I even picked it up). The stats are: Kills 100% Items 60% Secrets 90% TIME 16:03 PAR 2:00 E1M3: This is the Map that started the Nightmare Free idea. When I saw how hard it was to get out of the start room on -fast, I started wondering how anyone could do this on NM. The stats are: Kills 100% Items 73% Secrets 100% TIME 6:06 PAR 2:00 Author info : Doom 2 Master Doom 1 Master Doom 1 Tyson Doom 2 Tyson Doom 2 Speedy Gonzales Doom 1 Speedy Gonzales Doom 2 Grand Master Doom 1 Grand Master
