Game and version used: Ultimate DOOM v. 1.9

Substitutions? no

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

Controls used: Keyboard & Microsoft mouse with keyboard as default.
               I find that holding down shift and the up arrow (forwards)
               all the time and using the mouse to steer is the best method
               of control.  You can then easily shift your hand to the down
               arrow to run backwards.  I use a microsoft mouse driver, with
               both vertical and horizontal set to max (100).

Free interpretation: E3M9 made to look pathetic, punch a baron to death.

E1M3: By far the hardest part of this level is the very beginning.  The key
is to get a shotgun quickly and avoid the shotgun fire.  I *love* using
rockets, which is why I went to the secret exit first, to get the extra box
of rockets.  Barrels can be very effective, especially against more than one
guy, like the second door I open in the level.  Finished with 200% 200%.

E1M9: I didn't use to know this level really well, but I do now.  This level
whilst not being difficult to finish is difficult to finish with reasonable
stats because there is no soul sphere or mega armour.  I make all the five
pillars in the secret area, I find if you walk backwards a little just before
the jump, and always try to jump from corner to corner, then you should be
able to do it.  It is also possible to finish this level without raising the
drawbridge in the final room.  You need to make a running jump coming from
the top of the stairs, or alternatively, use a rocket to blast yourself
across.  I finish this level with a quite respectable 100% health 51% armour.

E2M8: Easy.  You can only have the pistol and rocket launcher, so I couldn't
be too creative.  Only creativity I was able to show is running beside a
rocket when it hits the skulls, so you get a cool side on view.  I *love*
doing that.  Need to be carefull that you've killed all the skulls, because
there is no % screen, and when you kill the cyberdemon the level ends
straight away.  Finished without getting hit and with double 200%.  

FREE: E3M9
This was ranked in the hardest category for Doom 1 Master so I decided to
show how easy it is.  The key to this level is making excellent use of the
two invincibilities.  Just because a bonus is in a certain place, doesn't
mean you can't use it much better somewhere else.  I even finish the level
off by punching a baron once to kill him (after a bit of softening up with a
machine gun).
