What's good in FREE.LMP
-----------------------

Most of the FREE.LMP files that I have seen have been similar to
"Oh, I went through such-and-such a level without taking any damage",
or "without needing any stimpacks", or "using only a rocket-launcher",
or something similar.  I didn't know what I could possibly do that
hadn't been done before, so I decided to stray a bit from the official
requirement that the LMP show "style", in the traditional sense of the
word "style".  Instead, I decided to play one of my favorite PWAD
files.  It's a really neat level, and I hope you enjoy it.  BTW, it
was recorded on Hurt Me Plenty difficulty level.

Comments
--------

I originally recorded E1M4 on Doom 1.2, and had no problem with it
at all (obviously).  I then attempted NUMEROUS times to record E2M7,
and had a problem with the recording buffer getting full.  After
playing it over and over, I finally managed to finish it just under
the time limit.  However, I could not for the life of me finish E3M6
under the time limit.  Since 1.666 was due out any day, I decided to
just wait until it came out, and record it using a larger buffer.  This
made things so much easier.

I really enjoyed punching the Baron of Hell to death in E2M7.  That
was definitely a kick.  And E3M6, although it is a large level, and
takes quite a while to finish, is very satisfying to complete.

Now, on to Doom Tyson!
