Free interpretation     : MAP18, Master style.  I felt that if I was going
                                weasel out of a HARD, I should do one for
                                a free interp.  This is an easy "Hard" --
                                relatively speaking
Comments                : I believe that MAP28 should be rated HARDEST
                        because I cant do that one, yet I can do the three
                        HARDEST with no real problems
                        Heck, if I took the time to redo MAP13, I could end
                        With 200-200 Health and Armor, just that that time
                        I forgot about the 2 cacodemons, and that level
                        takes so @$%!^$@ long, I said, who cares, I have
                        170%.  The other 2 I ended with 200-200.  Yet
                        I cannot beat MAP28.

MAP04 was easy, as it should be
                                The hardest part is the beginning, where
                                there are zillions of shotgun and chaingun
                                guys and you have only pistol.  Once you
                                get a weapon, its smooth sailing from then
                                on.
                        MAP17 is my least favorite map.  Partially because
                                I can never remember how to beat it.  
                                Many Thanks to, I think it was Jonathan                                
                                "Hunter" Hoof...yes, the guy with every
                                title except Schwartz, for his route...I
                                think it was his, anyway.
                                Dance right before the elevator into the
                                left imp sanctuary, after killing
                                The Baron of Hell.
                        MAP28, I did not complete, partially because it is
                                near-impossible.  If you wanna see someone
                                MURDER this level...not in master style...
                                not in Grand Master style....but of all
                                things in TYSON STYLE, get D2T-AVM.zip
                                Its awesome.  Hats off to Anton 
                                Magleli (AVM)!
                                I think this level should be rated hardest!
                        MAP13, Thanks to watching Andreas "Anthe" Kren's
                                lmp 6 billion times (D2M-AAK.ZIP), 
                                was as easy as pie.  Just one mistake on 
                                this level...after I had collected the 
                                supercharge, I remembered a couple of 
                                cacodemons I hadnt punished yet so I didnt 
                                end with 200-200.  And it takes too damn 
                                long to record that lmp so I just left it 
                                as is.  Shouldn't be rated HARDEST.  Try
                                HARD
                        MAP20, Gotcha!, was fun, to say the least.  Using
                                Andreas "Anthe" Kren's route again (Same
                                zip as MAP13), it was less of a challenge
                                and more like a stroll in the park.  But
                                I hate those Pain elementals!
                                Those stupid skulls get too close to quick
                                for my rockets!  This map is at MOST a HARD
                                maybe even a MEDIUM.
                                Ended with 200-200%
                        MAP24, and guess who's route I used??  That right, 
                                Kren's route Again.  He's got some good
                                routes!  I suggest if you are going to
                                attempt this level, you download his exam
                                right now.  This is an easy level, the
                                hardest part being the thin rails and
                                staying on them.  I suggest using the
                                keyboard for that part, as it doesnt require
                                speed nor agility.  I designated . to turn
                                left and / to turn right, and took it slow.
                                Dont fall in the pits with the cacodemons, 
                                there are no teleports in them.  Also, avoid
                                fighting cacodemons on the rails.
                                The reason I use the mouse at all in this
                                level is for accuracy, circle strafing
                                (Watch the First Imp Massacre) and after
                                the teleport with the dead guy hanging over it
                                I shoot the skulls, quickly turn around and
                                shoot the other skulls.  You cant turn that fast
                                keyboard.
                                This level is a HARD, but for Keyboarders,
                                should seem more like a medium.
Author info             : All I really want to say is that I just got
                                and just got on DHT and you should see me
                                again in the DONE entries...This
                                should be my 4th title...D1M, D1SG, D1GM, 
                                and D2M
                                More still to come, as soon as I find a new
                                NM level in Doom2....

Oh Yeah, and my Internet address changed from
                                the challenge.  Is is not kempling@premier.net
                                but is now at kempling@challenger.net.
                                Happy Fragging!
