Free interpretation   : Map 29 Yagyu

System used           : P166, 16MB RAM, SB 32, Diamond Stlth 64 Video Card
Controls used         : Mouse+Keyboard
                Mouse : Left button - fire
                        Right button - forward
             Keyboard : Z - strafe left
                        X - backward
                        C - strafe right
                        Ctrl - speed mode (always)

       This is the easiest advanced title, in my opinion.  You have to
       keep that in mind when you consider the base.  While the hard
       levels in the D2I and D2T bases are now really nasty those
       in the D2Y base are quite doable.  Even 29 Yagyu style is
       a walk in the park compared to any of the Incubus or Tyson
       hard levels.

MAP05: This is easier if you go slower!  But I am always in a hurry,
       5:17.

MAP25: This and my FREE are probably the best recordings of the lot.
       I wanted to change things from the "standard route" so I
       cleared out the wing with the Megasphere first.  This makes
       for more running around but the total time is still quite
       speedy, 3:52.

MAP23: I actually had a tough time with this one, I am always tempted
       to rush it and this always seems a mistake.  I often have trouble
       making the hop down into the niche with the megasphere, although
       usually you can finish even when you miss.  Watch for the
       near-suicide move at the end, 9:57.

FREE:  To become a "Yagyu Lord", you must do map 29 in under 10 minutes
       with no Cyber wimp out at the end.  This map has seen some
       great recordings, starting with Anthe Kren's DHT5 D2GM exam.
       Yonatan Donner and Peo Sjoblom also have great recordings, Peo's
       best is just over 8 minutes!  My recording is a bit sloppy in
       places which gets me low on health; I was lucky to make it.

       The start is quite nasty.  I used to go straight for the plasma
       gun, only making it to the berserk pack one time in 10 (if that).
       But then I realized you could make the start a bit easier by
       stopping for some health before going for the plasma gun.
       There is an easy way to kill the Cyberdemon at the end, but
       I wanted to go out facing him like a real marine.  The end scene
       isn't really that hard - starting from a saved game.  In reality
       when I get there I usually freak out and eat a rocket, 9:36.

Thanks Frank Stajano, DHT visionary and mechanic!
   To: Yonatan Donner, Peo Sjoblom and Kai-Uwe Humpbert, for
            some great lmp collections (and unusual names).
       Andreas "Anthe" Kren for his encouragement and warmth, plus
            numerous fantastic NightMare lmps.
       Patrick Martin and Daniel Lindgren for showing us what was
            possible (everything I thought impossible ;-).
