Comments: A nice change from the Lightning scene.  Nice, slow, tedious, where
  individual level LMPs last as long as an entire Lightning sequence.
  Level comments:
  E1M1 - Easy, good intro level, watch out for the Shotgun Charlies, since
    Tyson requires slow wearing down of monsters, try not to let Shotgun
    Charlies get an easy shot off.
  E1M4 - Not enough bullets to kill everything, so use pistol rounds for 
    problem critters, such as Shotgun Charlies, and toe-to-toe classic 
    Tyson-style punching duels for as much as you can.  Requires good
    punching skills.
  E2M4 - Phidias (D1*, except Epics) has a good strategy, on which I built on
    for this one.  Use Crushing Ceilings as much as possible.  Can kill 4-8
    (depending on how patient you are) Cacos, and at least 2 barons with them,
    leaving you with 200+ rounds essential for killing the 2 barons in the
    circle area.  I also made good use of the Beserk pack.  In this one, kill
    what you can without bullets, and it's finishable.
  E2M7 - This has a trick.  Book like hell to the Beserk pack, and punch
    your way through afterwards.  Using the Invulnerability to take out the 
    Baron and 2 Cacos in the Blue Key area is really helpful.  If you're 
    good at melee, this one's not a problem.  Oh, and there's a chainsaw in 
    this one <evil grin>.  Dance is near the end, in the room through the 
    door opposite the Yellow door.  If you have the patience, there's some
    of my best fist-work near the end around the yellow door area.
  E2M9 - My free LMP.  I've heard rumors of LMPs where players did this one
    by getting the monsters to infight, and killing the surviving monster,
    but haven't been able to track one down.  So I made one.  Using Fast 
    monsters and around 20-25 rounds to kill the last Caco.  Dance is after
    the third baron falls, immedeately after I switch to pistol.  A neat
    view of this LMP (or any LMP) is to switch to Map mode (TAB), and enter
    IDDT twice to get objects.  Makes for a unique perspective of LMPs
  I find this Title to be difficult, but not the worst (of the non-epic ones).
  Next to do is Incubus, and I'll decide then, but Tyson difficulty is 
  dependant on two things:  the level (duh), and how good you are at 
  killing with fists without taking large amounts of damage.
  
  I disagree with Phidias about the level base being closed.  Obviously there
  are some impossible ones (E2M8, Cyber demon with fists?  yeah right), but
  E2M1 is possible (and available), although it requires some serious 
  anti-Pinkie fistwork (maybe using the hidden teleporter alleyway....?), 
  E3M3 has a beserk pack and invulnerability, allowing you to kill
  the barons, then cruise to the end.  E3M5 is similar, probably a bit
  more difficult.  Beyond that, I don't know, but there is definitely room
  for more Tysons.
Author info: If there was a minor in DOOM in college, I would easily
        qualify.  Some people watch TV.  I play doom.  And occasionally
        do theatrical lighting.
