Free interpretation     : MAP08 UV Tyson
Comments                : My first Tyson entry was invalid because MAP08
                          had been added by Jonathon, and I didn't read the
                          rules proeprly on the subsitutions. But this package
                          definitely satifies the rules. Unfortunately, the 3
                          assigned levels I received all did not have beserk
                          or chainsaw. Punching the monsters to death without
                          beserk is very tiring and rather boring.
                          MAP02: The hardest part of this level is when I had
                          to jump into the dark basement to grab the blue key.
                          Lots of imps inside, and I had to conserve some
                          bullets to kill the sergeants in the exit room too.
                          Your punching ability had better be good for this.
                          But using the barrels is a plus point. However, I
                          feel that this level should be in MEDIUM, but it was
                          classified as EASY.
                          MAP03: This level was a lot easier than MAP02,
                          because there was at least a supercharge, mega-armor
                          and lots of health and bullets. I would say this
                          level should be in EASY, but it was classified as
                          MEDIUM.
                          MAP04: This level is incredibly difficult, and I
                          don't know how I managed to complete it. It takes
                          too many tries to do it, and somehow I was on form
                          for that moment to cross it. There is very little
                          health and armor on this level compared to the
                          other 2 levels, so I think its a miracle.
                          Conserving bullets to kill sergeants meant I had
                          to kill all the imps with my normal fist. I decided
                          that exchanging this with MAP08 would make my life
                          easier.
                          MAP08: This is my free interpretation level, since
                          Jonathon felt that it shouldn't go to waste. MAP08
                          was easier because it had a chainsaw, and all I
                          needed to do most of time is to lure the monsters
                          to fight each other. However, there is an element of
                          luck involved because the cyberdemon sometimes
                          doesn't get killed by the barons of hell. Or
                          sometimes, he gets killed but there are simply too
                          many barons of hell left.
                          MAP19: Getting an out-of-base level was extremely
                          frustrating, because most of the levels were just
                          not designed to be completed in Tyson mode. In
                          general, I had to exclude levels with cyberdemons,
                          spiderdemons, archviles and also levels with too
                          many revenants, pain elementals, and mancubuses.
                          After looking through the FAQ, I decided on trying
                          MAP22, because it had very few monsters, but the
                          layout of the level required a lot of luck to
                          complete. Then I tried MAP19, and it was extremely
                          tedious, because the number of monsters in this
                          level is too many. However, there was a lot of
                          health and bullets, and the two arachnotrons were
                          very helpful in killing some of the monsters. I
                          would say that this level is MEDIUM though, because
                          although it was tedious, it wasn't that difficult to
                          complete. And a word of warning, the lmp file takes
                          more than one hour to finish!
Author info             : I still like to play Doom and Doom II for some time
                          to come, and am eagerly waiting for more releases
                          from Id Software, but I don't think I would be
                          trying for anymore DHT titles. I would like to say
                          thanks to my colleagues in Creative Technology where
                          I work, for their moral support in getting this
                          Tyson title. And I still refuse to use the mouse in
                          solo play or deathmatch play, and I don't use
                          strafing either! After all I still beat a lot of
                          good Doom players by just using the keyboard only.
                          But sometimes to move sideways, I use the arrow
                          keys and move against the wall, but no strafe key.
                          I design my own WAD files in my free time, but I've
                          very little free time nowadays. And if I can find
                          enough time, I'll do a major add-on with a Chinese
                          KungFu Doom, by replacing lots of sounds, music and
                          graphics.
