╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ MEMENTO MORI 2 ----- THE REAL SKILL 4 DEMO COLLECTION ║ ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ This is a collection of LMPs for MEMENTO MORI 2. After my MM1-collection I was tired of demo recording without interest in doing the same for MM2. But then I saw this very bad, slow and boring collection MM2UVDMO (60min in map 9? Oh my god!). So I was forced to do the demos by myself again. Each LMP shows how to solve the appropriate map with maximum speed, 100% kills, 100% secrets and a high entertaining factor (no simple run- through). Maximum item percentage was neglected (needs too much time). All the demos were recorded in skill level 4 (ultra violence) with DOOM II v1.9. Use LMPUTIL by Raymond Chi to convert the demos to other versions. Some maps have seperate DM-parts, unreachable monsters and secrets not accessible in single play mode. There you can't reach the maximum ratings (e.g. #6, #15, #26, #27 secrets, #20, #31 and #S1 monsters). ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ To play a demo, be sure to use Doom II v1.9 and Memento Mori 2 (7/96). │ │ Copy the lmps into your Doom II directory and start the game like this:│ │ │ │ doom2 -file mm2.wad -playdemo XXXX │ │ │ │ XXXX is the name of the lmp without extension. Have fun! :) │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Technical information: LMPs ending with "M" were recorded by me :) , Michael "migru" Grube, 34, author of X-DOVE, XD700, M-SWIRL, and MMDEMOUP, using a Microsoft mouse, a P166+ (64MB RAM, 6GB HD, Matrox Millenium graphics), many gallons of chinese tea and some non-explosive barrels of Irish Whiskey. :*} :*} LMPs ending with "A" were recorded by Andy Badorek, 27, MM-, MM2- and STRAIN- team member, author of SPIRIT2, TWILAB, DEMONIPA, ZUMA01, TOD, ZAP30 and MBASE01-03, using a Logitech mouse, a P133 (32MB RAM, 2GB HD, Elsa Trio64V+ graphics) and unknown liquids.

My favourite LMPs are marked with a star (recommended to watch first :). ================================================================================ Map 01 - Outpost :| MM2_01M 1:57 100-46-100 by Denis Moeller Very small, clean good looking design, easy, nice entry to MM2. Map 02 - The Feeding Pit :| MM2_02M 1:50 100-55-100 by David Davidson Very small, good looking but empty design, no "function" recognizable, easy, but annoying columns over acid. Map 03 - ...and hell beneath :) MM2_03M 8:28 100-33-100 by Matthias Worch Nice indoor design, dungeons with graves, goodies ok, small, easy. Map 04 - Ratamahatta :| MM2_04M 9:49 100-50-100 by Florian Helmberger Cave design, often very dark, multiple ways to the exit, chaingunners on top of the stairs very hard to beat from below, easy if you come from behind, medium size and skill, in the final room you can accidentally cross the exit line before killing all monsters. Map 05 - Rites Of Passage :| MM2_05M 10:50 100-47-100 by Paul Noble Medium size and skill, indoor design, dark, acid parts but radiation suits available, secret full of weapons at the beginning, health close, ammunition no problem. Map 06 - Trapped :( MM2_06M 17:01 100-55-80 by Adam Williamson Loathsome start surrounded by chaingunners, all necessary weapons and goodies in secrets (grrr..), very dark parts, goodies close, medium size, nuts, no fun! Map 07 - Frustration :) MM2_07M 13:26 100-100-100 by David Kuykendall Sewersystem, nice design, funny ideas like the semi defective door (it drives me crazy ;), lots of puzzles, goodies close in the first half of the map (skill hard), later no problem (skill easy), medium size map, attractive, interesting. Map 08 - Stigmata :| MM2_08M 8:47 100-37-100 by Denis Moeller Indoor design, pump station, easy because of many possibilities to take cover, small, goodies ok. Map 09 - Sabbath Sewer :) * MM2_09M 21:52 100-94-100 by Mark Klem Sewersystem, big, versatile, chapel, waterfall, many secrets, short cut warps, yellow key area hard, jump to blue sphere in the chapel nasty, if you knew the map well the skill is easy, if not you're in trouble, plenty of goodies. One of my top three maps in MM2. Map 10 - Clear For Death :) MM2_10M 12:24 100-100-100 by Matthias Worch Indoor design, funny blue-key-flushing, beginning hard because of a trap with many cacodemons, some acid parts, ammunition very close, do not waste shells! The exit looks like the start of map 11 (nice idea), medium size. Map 11 - Sewer Shutdown :( MM2_11M 11:39 100-78-100 by Eric Sargent Ugly indoor design, cave-like with fake acid, 4-fold-symmetric mid part with real acid, long ways to walk, one way secret warps (move backwards after the teleport!), goodies close, medium skill and size, exit room dangerous (small, many barons). Map 12 - The Waterway :) * MM2_12M 5:17 100-70-100 by Orin Flaharty Indoor design, what is it ?!?, irritating, dark, small catwalks, size not very big (only first part of a bigger planned level?), skill easy because of many goodies, somehow interesting - don't ask me why. Map 13 - Devils Paradise :( MM2_13M 17:36 104-100-100 by Rhys Hughes Very large rooms, boring design, long ways to walk, the archvile can produce ghosts if you let him out of his chamber, secrets dull (walk again through the complete map), skill medium except the blue sphere area (hard). Map 14 - A Question Of Time :| MM2_14M 21:36 100-23-100 by Matthias Worch & Thomas Moeller Indoor design, goodies very close (typical Matthias ;), beserk fights with demons necessary (pick it up early!), map knowledge essential, DSG in secret, medium-plus size, hard. Map 15 - The Devil's Coterie :| * MM2_15M 16:48 103-88-88 by Adam Windsor Indoor design, outdoor area with baby spiders, start very hard, first archvile in a room closed with crushers (wow), then hundreds of caco- demons (oops), exit defended with 3 archviles (*cough*), big, hard, tough, the secret exit is here (if you push the switch too quickly, one secret (the exit itself) is missing (--> 88). Map 16 - The Nephilim :| MM2_16M 11:50 100-55-100 by Denis Moeller Compact indoor design, many goodies, more or less easy if you know the critical points, medium size. Map 17 - No One :| MM2_17M 13:28 100-100-100 by Michael Rapp Indoor design, no clear style recognizable, the first part of the map is ugly, the second part excellent (also used as DM area), many goodies, many chaingunners, medium size and skill. Map 18 - Regulate :) MM2_18M 18:32 101-75-100 by Matthias Worch A map by Matthias? Yes, the ammunition is extremely close. Health ok, in the exit room are tons of goodies, but then it's too late, indoor design, many machines, new soundeffect, medium size, skill hard. Map 19 - The Shaft :( - - - by Jeremy Statz Very big level, oh dear, each part behind a coloured door can be a seperate map, millions of monsters, very hard, absolutely no fun to record a demo here (you can easily die after 30min). It's possible to play through the level using savegames, but this doesn't help for demo recording. Too frustrating. Map 20 - The Experiment :( MM2_20M 11:22 98-100-100 by Alden Bates Stupid hard beginning, rest of the map easy, medium size, boring design, acid parts (radiation suits available), first cyborg of MM2, chaingunners behind walls (grrr..), one imp is trapped inside a column and can be killed only by cyborg rockets. Map 21 - Sanctuary :) MM2_21M 20:16 100-100-100 by Andy Badorek * MM2_21CO Big, compact and very detailed design, in/outdoor, good looking, enough goodies, versatile, medium skill, funny DM part, another top three map. Map 22 - R.R.F.Refinery :| MM2_22M 29:28 100-50-100 by Thomas Moeller MM2_22A 29:00 100-75-100 Very big, versatile in/outdoor design, crooked path filled with baby spiders, cyborg (can be squished in a crusher), some very hard parts, one coop-secret (megasphere), millions of demons, goodies ok. --------------------------------------------------------------------- There are several levels in MM2 which are just too big, but this one is NOT, despite its size. This level has got plenty of variation in terms of gameplay, design and atmosphere. (Andy Badorek) Note: I included both lmps (Andy's and mine) because the times are nearly the same but the playing style is completely different. Compare both demos - it's very interesting. Btw, he managed to get into the coop secret - seems very easy. ;) Map 23 - No Way Out :) MM2_23M 23:46 100-80-100 by Eric Sargent Big map but nearly linear gameplay, detailed design, many very hard situations (A room with lots of pain elementals, the Bfg-trap ...), Bfg reachable via 3 4-fold warp distributors, health close, ammunition ok, don't waste plasma or rockets when you can use smaller weapons, skill hard. Map 24 - Io Lab :| MM2_24M 8:44 100-84-100 by Sean Birkel Doom E1M7 style, not too big, compact design, good looking but somehow boring, only small enemies, easy. Map 25 - Forgotten Town :) MM2_25M 19:25 105-70-100 by Denis Moeller * MM2_25CO Ahh, Impcity, a big nice town, the last of my top 3 maps. Shootings with small enemies (e.g. imps ;), duels with medium size monsters and heavy fights with bosses. Hard beginning, rest of the map medium skill, the cyborg room seperates the men from the boys, training is necessary to succeed in this map. One imp can't be killed, because he's used for the activation of the lift behind the room with the cyber. Map 26 - Base Exposure :| * MM2_26M 19:25 100-100-85 by Mark Klem Big, outdoor design with gallows very nice, indoor part with silver textures bad, many cyborgs, many goodies, nevertheless monster-monster- fights necessary, much room for evasive maneuvers, medium skill. Map 27 - The Silos :) * MM2_27M 20:18 101-66-62 by Paul Noble Very big, many different ways to solve the map, all weapons in a secret at the start, plenty of ammunition, especially rockets, the beginning is very hard (kill this archvile near the blue key or you're in trouble later), the remaining level is more or less easy, the cyborg can be crushed, the monsters in the towers are hard to hit from below, so kill them from upside. Map 28 - Corporate Hell :| * MM2_28M 27:47 100-58-100 by Stephen Watson Very big, confusing design, hard. The first part is a town like area, let the monsters do some work for you, the chaingunners can be very frustating (they kill you from unbelievable distances, you can't even see them!), very hard. The second part includes big towers and the large 10-fold distribution elevator, without map knowledge you get easily lost here. There are multiple ways to solve the map, but some are very hard, try to pick up the backpack early, goodies are not close but nevertheless there's nothing to waste. The most critical point is the exit room, there are chaingunners, knights and an archie without cover for the player (be sure to have 150% health as minimum). The rest is easy. Note: It was very frustrating to record a demo for this map. Nevertheless it's one of my best demos. If you watch it everything looks easy but don't be mistaken. Funny detail: If you don't have trouble create some. I released accidentally the archvile behind the red door which can normally be shot without danger. He reanimated two mancubi and I stood there with a shotgun. Ooops! But I survived, feeling in reality like the 27% player face. Have a look at this demo - it's great. Map 29 - Kings Of Metal :) * MM2_29A 20:04 116-100-100 by Jens Nielsen MM2_29CO Very big, mainly outdoor design, 2 cyborgs, many archviles, hard, goodies ok (you need them), interesting map, the fourth of my top three maps (eh, what ? ... ;-). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A beautifully designed level with difficult gameplay. You need a map editor in order to find out what to do, where to go first, and how to get the secrets. The level is very hard at the beginning but after you've got the red key and know the secrets it is virtually impossible to die. Anyway, this level has good moments and it is one of the most interesting levels in MM2. (Andy Badorek) Map 30 - It :| * MM2_30M 4:29 118-35-0 by Jim Wraith Very small, final enemy, tons of goodies, all keys in one room, very easy because of the goodies and an invincible sphere. Map 31 - DejaVu :| MM2_31M 8:56 99-56-100 by Orin Flaharty Small, Doom E1M7 lookalike, nice but a little bit boring, very easy, only small enemies, one imp is trapped outside the playing area. Map 32 - Dances With Demons :) * MM2_32M 5:35 100-100-0 by David Kuykendall Small, variation of Doom2 map 7, funny, rel. easy because you can hide behind columns, many goodies, two helpless cyborgs ;). Map S1 - Super Secret Mission 1 :( MM2_S1M 1:41 78-83-100 by Steve Towle Very small, not finished, pentagram ok, rest ugly, the two-switch elevator is very annoying, some imps are arrested somewhere, so only 78% kills are possible. Map S2 - Super Secret Mission 2 :| * MM2_S2M 17:35 100-100-0 by Thomas Moeller Indoor design, compact, medium size, linear gameplay, hard beginning, hard end, the mid section is easy, key points are the two archviles near the red door (pheew) and the hundreds of demons near the exit. Hint: If you still don't know where those Secret levels are, remember the following facts: The maps are hidden somewhere in the MM2 package and a playable map in Doom has the extension ".wad". Got it? ================================================================================ That's it. Done. End. I'm too old to do this again (for MM3 or so...). Have fun with this collection or I'll appear in your dreams ! *demonic grin* Migru 8-)
