This are my completed exam files for the title of DOOM Master.
Judging from my exam results, I'm sure you'll agree that I earn my
title magna cum laude. :)  It just so happens that the three missions
I drew are three of my favorite missions; in fact, I probably would
have chosen these three myself due to their high difficulty levels.
All have been completed with 100/100 kills/secrets, of course.

Doom version: 1.2

(related) hardware:	486/66 w/ ET4000 VLB video card (zoom!)
	GUS w/1MB memory (a MUST for DOOM, get one immediately!)

controls:	CH Flighstick (yeah, a joystick!  Wanna make something
	of it?  I'll frag ya in deathmatch anyday :) )
	joystick:	button 1: fire		button2: run
	keyboard:	space: open		"<" ">": strafe left + right

Authentication dance: FFLF - RLLF

Levels: E1M7 E2M9 E3M6 (UV - assigned LMPs), E3M9 (NM - free LMP)

E1M7-UV.LMP  (Computer Station):  Even starting with just a pistol, I
	make the beginning of this level look easy (it's not). I know
	exactly when I trigger the compartments with extra monsters in
	them; sitting in their convenient pockets it's oh-so-easy to
	finish them off with rockets. :)  The leaps off the rising pillar
	are graceful and always accurate.  I dodge fireballs with ease
	but my gun is always pointed at the enemy (easy with joystick
	+ keyboard!)  In short, I make the hardest level of E1 look
	like a cakewalk.  Enjoy!  (Watch the rocket launcher carefully
	at the very end!)

E2M9-UV.LMP  (Fortress of Mystery):  Obviously, E2M9 is an easy mission
	on UV.  There's only, what, 4 barons and 10 cacodaemons?  Piece
	of cake :) .  So naturally, I had to make it tougher on myself.
	I placed two additional restrictions on myself in addition to
	the 100/100 kills/secrets:

	1) I only used the rocket launcher and the two crates of rockets.
	   (that's only 12, but it turns out I had one rocket left over. :) )
	2) ***I never took any damage during this mission***.  I end with
	   199/200 health/armor.

This is probably the best LMP you will *ever* see of this mission.  If
you don't watch any of my other LMP's, *watch this one*.
Note: Authentication dance is performed at the end of the mission.

E3M6-UV.LMP  (Mt. Erebus):  A harder mission with lots of enemies, but
	well-fought.  Due to sheer carelessness, I was down to %1 health
	at one point (I didn't even realize it) but I kept this LMP anyway
	because I like the agressiveness I show in it!  I showed the
	location of both exits and went out the secret one (the only way
	to get %100 secrets) with the ol' rocket launcher/invulnerability
	trick. I'm certain I killed every single monster, I walked around
	at the end and "made sure the area was secure".

FREE.LMP     (E3M8, Dis - NM):  I do this level in Nightmare mode, starting
	with only the usual pistol.  'Nuff said.  Don't blink, you'll
	miss the whole thing - it's that fast. :)
