1. That's a tough level, one of the hidden levels IIRC.
2. It feels like "-fast" has been used.
3. The task is much, much more difficult because you can't strafe.
Very cute though :-)

Re: DOOM CAPTCHA
#13I tried to do it the intended way, but found it too difficult. I was able to cheese it by staying in the starting area and killing the enemies that spawned to the right.
Re: DOOM CAPTCHA
#14Ok, so this is the kind of content I show up for.
On one hand, it’s a clever and fun way to show off what we can do with the web these days. The way it is presented hits just right... the demo is dead center of the page, with debug tools and more info within reach. I particularly enjoyed reading the "how it's made" page to understand how it was put together. I like how all of this extra stuff was not front and center when the page loads. Even the design language of the CAPTCHA box itself felt just right.
On the other hand, it's a satire of what we have done to the web. The bad guys (like the monsters in the game) have won. I'm a flesh and blood human, but here I am having to click on fuzzy pictures of random objects before I can do the task I actually wanted to accomplish. Behind the scenes, my human insight gets licensed and used for whatever purpose (nefarious or not). Just like the DOOM demo here, it's hard and cumbersome, but for whatever reason we all accept it as the way it has to be. We all shake our heads and say "what a shame, what a shame."

Strafing works for me on linux with firefox. Maybe it's an OS or browser setting that prevents it?

#16I couldn't win without cheating ^:) It's crazy how ingrained in my memory is the code tho, could remember it automatically after maybe 25 years

Correct, it's E1M9, the shareware secret level, on Nightmare difficulty.
You can strafe with the old-school chording of Alt.
The sound was fucked up for me, high pitched, no idea why (fits the ridiculousness of this experience though, so NBD).

It’s not available on touch screen devices.
