Castle Of Eternal Carrot in the Sky @Fredrik

Commander Keen: I see two Commander Keens here, one is driving an excavator or something, the other a broken bicycle. The colours are spot on! Former human 2 takes on "Halls of Insanity" (Memento Mori MAP11) P.E.T. Rescue; name of a map from Icarus. I was secretly hoping the AI would solve the acronym P.E.T. for me, but no :-( Polygon Base Sanctuary of Filth x 3

So what is the best approach if I wanted to record a new demo? Just an advanced port (PrBoom+, DSDA Doom) with complevel 2 so it will playback with these ports? Is it the same map issue as bldnight MAP05?

No hints With hints

this one has great design and it is really funny. Map05 is pure joke, some others have humorous elements here and there...

Vaporware demos require Eternity v4.01.00 or newer, maybe it's worth it adding it to Ports section?

missing poll options: "who cares/ no difference", and "I don't listen to midis when playing doom" :-P

Cool. At map03 I was saying 'hang on, how he did that, is it a new trick?' but no, it's just the advantage of playing continuous :). map06 is very hard to survive, so well done!

This is an example from strain.deh Basically you repeat the original text and insert your own. Now, vanilla, chocolate need a separate .deh file while most of the ports can just read this info directly from the WAD, from DEHACKED lump.

@NuMetalManiak thanks for making these. Fascinating layouts! I think I am not good at this but let's see Without hints Hints didn't help much...

I may be the only one who is not doing these in built demos, [MF50 SL50 TR10], but always reduces SL/SR to 40 on turns. I know Andy Olivera also did this and I saw a pair of occasional demos by others (Looper?), but I guess most people are fine with that. Before the era of built runs it was good habit to write in the txt "strafe-50 is always ON" (e.g. Akse). See these posts.

This oldie has 17 spider masterminds in it, and unless I missed something, is it possible to kill them all? I mean, the other way than collecting every single shotgun shell in the map and shotgunning them. Bullets, rockets and cells are present, too, but there is not enough ammo for their respective weapons. (I know one spider can be crushed, but the rest?) Second question: 14 spiders don't move nor shoot (I ran the WAD with PrBoom+, complevel 3). Should they move or not?

No sub 10 :(((

If someone is going after my fillers, here's how I rate how hard it may be vv very easy: if you manage to exit, you can't be slower than this grimreap easy I guess, old demo highlow3 easy, I remember it being quite slow ka_mill easy-medium I remember it being so-so enigma easy-medium, with so many rockets and cells there's always room for improvement dmp2015a medium, there are some slow parts mars301 medium, I scored many exits so it should not be easy ic2004 medium-hard, I put effort and this is from this year, good luck insrtion medium-hard, I really like this demo mm 13 tyson hard (the time sucks but good luck with exiting alive) 2002ado hard, it was a bounty for 3 points! I may try some of these in the last two days if I have time, though for me the fun part is not to touch my own demos and see others' attempts :)

There was also this thread in which I asked what should I do with all the masterminds for a Max

@tatsurd-cacocaco did it in 2014
