Free Interpretation             :I did the first 3 stages consectutively,
                                 tyson style.

Comments                :This was difficult, the only break I got in the
                         whole thing is that I got map 1 for my easy level,
                         I can do both map02 and map24, but getting map01
                         saved me a lot of time. Map's 8 and 19 are both long
                         levels, I did them as fast as I could but they are
                         still long recordings. My out of base level is so
                         easy I can't beleive it hasn't been taken yet, map
                         32 is so simple. Here are my stats:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                Map01

What can I say really, it is an incredibly easy stage, as it should be because
their are only imp's and former humans.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                Map 08

This one was from the hard set, and it is not an easy stage. I remember when
I first saw this stage, I was playing on HMP and I died horribly even while
using IDFA to cheat. This was in August of last year, when I first starting
playing doom. I never thought back then that I would beat the same stage 9
months later using only pistol,chainsaw and fist. I had a huge problem in this
recording, the cyberdemon teleported out and shot me while he was leaving, so
I resorted to a new strategy. I grabbed the invuln and released everything at
once, it was a pretty crappy plan but it worked. This lmp isn't incredibly
boring but it ain't that interesting either, it has it's moments though. Due
to the fact that I released everything, my route got screwed up pretty bad, so
don't be surprised if I look sometimes like I don't know what I am doing.

                                Kills-100%

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                Map 19

Alvin "Viper" Chee added this level to the base, I tip my hat to him for doing
so. When I first saw his lmp I was amazed by it, the only problem I had was
that it was a bit long. The one I recorded here is a bit shorter, but I take
absolutely nothing away from alvin who did it only with keyboard and he didn't
have anybody else's lmp to watch for help. Great Job Alvin!

I have some good punching in this lmp, if you can stick with the lmp through
the boring beginning you will find the middle is pretty good, it is a bit
boring because of the length, but it isn't a bad lmp. At the end there is a
very tense moment for me, when I teleport into the demon room I have to jump
down with all the demon's and I made it, but it was very rough to do.

                                Kills-100%
                                Items-91%
                               Secret-88%

                                Map 32

THis is my out of base level and I still can't beleive that it hasn't been
used as a base expander. THe level is not hard at all but It is a fun lmp
to record. I guess what scares some people away is the fact that there is a
cyberdemon in it. That's was I was afraid of in the beginning but once you
find a good approach to this stage, it really isn't hard at all. I actually
have an earlier recording of me doing it about 4 months ago. Right at the
beginning of this lmp, when I first let the cyberdemon out, I got hit with a
rocket, and I take a lot of damage but I recover and do it. I am not going
to tell you the strategy I used for this stage, I wan't to leave it for a
surprise.

                                Kills-100%

I did the first 3 stages of doom2 consecutively tyson style, although map02
is rated as easy, I don't think it should be, even with the chainsaw I obtained
from level 1, I still hard a pretty hard time with map02
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well this makes me the 4th tyson, I don't think there are going to be to many
more of us, because out of base levels are starting to run down. I can only
see a couple more that are left, Map16 might be possible with luck, Map09 might
be remotely possible but I would like to see that lmp! There are a couple
others but due to the abundance of Arch-viles,revenants and other strong enemies
in most of the stages, it will be hard to finish them.

I found this title to be the hardest to obtain, but I didn't find it *THAT*
hard, I find it natural to fight with my fists, with a berserk
pack I think I could kill almost every enemy given time. My best tyson
accomplishment would have to be my doom 1 E2M6-ty.lmp. This stage has a lot
of cacodemons and Barons of hell, and I had to punch most of them to death.

I would like to thank several people:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tommy Dunphy- My brother for introducing me to doom and for being their when
              I needed to play deathmatch

Mike Hayes- For being such a good target in deathmatch :-)

Simon Widlake- For helping me so much with my D1I-tmd.zip and for inspiration
               with my Doom 2 Incubus

Steffen Winterfeldt- For being the god of doom, this guy is amazing.

Jonathan Hoof- This guys lmp's are inspiration for us all, he as all the basic
               and advanced titles plus two epic's, he is a real champion.

Id Software- For creating the most incredible game in the world, I cannot wait
             until QUAKE comes out. Has anyone thought of the Quake Honorific
             Titles?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am 16 years of age and Doom is Incredible, I live in Corner Brook, Newfoundland
and I skateboard as well as snowboard. I have been playing doom since August
of 1995. The first title I received was a doom 1 Grand Master. I still have
3 more basic titles to go but I thought I would include everything I wanted
to say in this Zip file because I am just going to rush to get my basic titles
out, and I thought that I would include everything in my best accomplishment,
my Doom 2 Tyson.

Well that's all for now, see you all later

From,

Terry "T-man" Dunphy
