   I substituted E1M3, doing 2 out-of-base levels, E2M4 and E3M5. Why? E1M3 is
rather impossible at the beginning. (The only one DHT3 Doom Tyson, Phil Kime,
substituted this level too.) My out-of-base lmps are great. E2M4 and E3M5 are
impossible for Tyson playing, if the right strategy isn't known. Look at them!
   E1M1 is easy, if someone isn't wasting the bullets.
   E3M1 needs good strategy and not wasting the bullets at all. The demons
must be killed with fist (or, perhaps, by cacodemons) and most of the imps
by the cacodemons. The authentication dance is done after killing the pink
demons in the narrow corridor.
   E2M4 needs excessive using of the crushers. I kill 2 barons, all cacodemons
except one, and many imps and humans, using the crushers. I keep bullets (280
in the whole level) for the 2 barons in the north, round area. (These barons
have to be killed with the pistol, because they are too tall for going up using
the lift; their heads hit the ceiling and the lift lowers again (and so I can't
carry them to the crushers).) What else? I finish having 200% health and 200%
armor! Amazing!
   E3M5 is impossible, if you don't know what to do. I kill the first 2 barons
with teleporter fragging (what is this? play the lmp). I use the 3rd baron for
killing all the cacodemons (except one for whom I use the chainsaw). Then I kill
this baron with the pistol. I kill the spawning monsters at the end using the
baron, while I'm hiding in the small room with the BFG. When only the baron
remains alive, I carry him out and I kill him and the another remaining one
using berserk + invulnerability. Impressive!
   My free lmp is a sophisticated E1M8 uv Tyson level, with 200% health and
100% armor. Look at the strange strategy here! Look also at the 3 possible ways
to return to the starting area. (By the way, E1M8 is easy, comparing it with
the other levels of the hard D1T set.)

   I think of D1T title as the most difficult. I'm 90% sure that the level
base can't be more expanded, except with E3M2 (Phil Kime has done this, on his
DT splendid DHT3 exam).

   Completing all Doom 1 titles on an 386DX40-4MRAM-ISA machine, using only
the keyboard, I show that Doom requires skills more important than the
Pentium-8MRAM-PCI-mouse combination. (Of course I wish I had a Pentium; for
the keyboard I insist!)
