Free Interpretation     : Level 13 (FREE_INT.LMP) Do this with KEYBOARD
			  ONLY! It's tough that way! This recording is
			  pretty boring (Lasts about 42 minutes) but I
			  played it from memory ONCE! And my knees were
			  shaking from the experience, my forearms tendons
			  were twitching and my middle and index finger
			  got locked into their positions. Then I decided
			  I had enough and left it for good. It's a Free
			  Interpretation, for crying out loud! Please
			  don't bitch about not bagging 100 kills on a
			  Free Interpretation, please! I really had a
			  bad experience with this level. To make it
			  worse, I hit all the fingers of my left hand
			  the day before with a sledgehammer, so they
			  were black and blue and swollen. Go figure.
			  It has a interesting beginning, tough. The
			  first two minutes I sprint for the following:
			  a) the plasma gun at the northwest and b) the
			  invulnerability in the northeast. Since I was
			  running it on a 50 Mhz 486 the frame rate sucks,
			  so I had to "unclutter" everything and fast.

Comments                : Level 06 (LEV06EPS.LMP) Yawn! Easy does it.
			  Level 12 (LEV12EPS.LMP) If you think its boring,
			  try to convince all 40+ imps and 9 mancubus to
			  get in the way of the arachnotrons. This one
			  almost made me climb up the wall. Not enough ammo
			  for my taste.
			  Level 27 (LEV27EPS.LMP) This one isn't as tough
			  as they say, but I played it more than 50 times
			  to get it right.

Author info             : A keyboard jockey, I hate the mouse to play Doom
			  (I've never mastered it to play games, except
			  Dark Castle. DARK WHAT!?!). If you think my
			  recordings are lousy, I would like to see you
			  trying it with a KEYBOARD ONLY. I DARE YOU!
			  But now I'll take a rest before taking on another
			  Doom Challenge. (Maybe I'll try Velox or Pacifist.
			  Too bad Frank won't give away more epic titles.)
			  I am currently putting together a dictionary of
			  DOOM terminology, so if you have some to share,
			  please E-mail me.
			  Some of my own terms:
			  Strolling the monster: sending a monster out
			  a room thru a teleporter.
			  Load: The ammo fired by a monster.
			  Line-up: Managing to put lots of monsters in
			  others way, so they end up shooting it out.
			  Undeliverable: a stubborn monster (won't tele-
			  port or won't get in the way of another monster's
			  load)
			  Framing the monster: Using a small door to lock
			  a monster and make it rather safe to shoot down.
