Game and version used: DOOM 2 v1.9

Substitutions? no

System used: 486DX/2 66Mhz with S3 VLB, sound galaxy 8 bit stereo
             & 8 meg ram.  

Controls used: Microsoft mouse with keyboard as follows:
                A: Speed on
                W: Strafe left
                R: Strafe right
                E: Forwards
                D: Backwards

This is a new key config since my last dht titles.  The seperate strafe keys
make it a lot easier to dodge, revenants in particular.                    

Free interpretation: MAP 27 on Nightmare.

Comments: 

MAP04: I was finding this level to be a bit hard, not because of the par but
because I kept getting killed.  I ended up settling for a time of 1:47 out of
the 2:00 par.  This is not really a Speedy Gonzales but more of a Careful
Gonzales.  I do not get hit at all in the last room.

MAP11: I did not do a dance in this level because you are immediately under
fire and it is difficult to find a safe space to do the dance.  It is much
quicker just to take the hit from the Archvile then to try and kill him.
Watch for me fighting two cacodemons at close quarters with a chaingun and
not taking a hit.  My best time ever was 2:34, but I was not recording when
I got this time.  This time I got 2:42 out of the 3:30 par.  Could have done
a little better but it's still pretty good.

MAP27: After watching my friend do his Doom2 master for this level (D2M-MJF),
I knew it very well.  On hurt me plenty difficult level there isn't too much
to worry you, although watch me narrowly avoid being hit in the face by a
revenants rocket before the lift ducked me underneath it!  3:26 out of an
easy par of 5:30.  This level should probably be rated as a medium or perhaps
even an easy because of the high par time.

FREE: After doing map27 on hurt me plenty, I wanted to prove that you could
do it on Nightmare pretty much the same way.  The double ammo helps a lot,
particularly with the rockets.  Only hard bit for me was the three revenants
and the very end where I had to rocket the archvile who was right in front of
me to death, but I needed to get to the damn exit in a hurry!  If you try
and fight the archvile instead of charge past him, the revenants from the
previous bit will cause you a fair bit of trouble, as I found out the first
time I finished this on Nightmare when I finished with 4% health.  I was
trying to beat the par as well, so a time of 3:56 from the 5:30 par is pretty
good.
