	In Response To: ♫just don't look, just don't look...♪ (Earthtopus) : I am : impressed that you stuck with your method enough to try backing your way : through the four or five ghasts on the way out, though... Nah, I wasn't that dedicated/crazy. I cleaned out the north hallway before the run, and the gauntlet ended with my facing west, into the ghasts: - open door at hallway, hide around corner till ghasts come through door, bang bang - NNE down hallway, till I see the corner - sidestep down the hall while turning left, facing NW by the time I reach the second corner - continue facing NW as I head south to second corner - head west, fire AK-47 like mad at ghasts while oozes slime my back Years of being terrible at Marathon have honed my backing-away skills, but there you can easily outpace anything chasing you... : Ironic that it's the very 'careful' : looking-around-with-lights-blazing-to-see-if-monsters-are-coming that : draws them right in I think they very much wanted to force you into that "terror" mode, by making your psychological safety-net as harmful as possible. They give monsters the edge in long-distance fights, create groups so you'd get overwhelmed by shining your light around corners, and even have an NPC tell you to turn it off. : Who would have thought we'd still be finding new ways to play? By modern game standards, it'd probably be seen as an utter failure! "Our testers never found the alternate solution to the ooze puzzle, can you add Paul Anka's corpse to give them hints?"
