Description:
The new Doom took 2 days to be completed on ultra-nightmare while Final Doom: TNT Evilution took over 20 years for its first ever single segment nightmare run! Why has this not been done before now? Well, it wasn't before 2010 that map 09 (Stronghold) was completed for the first time on nightmare from pistol start by Xit-Vono.
Map 09 stood as the only uncompleted IWAD nightmare map for over 8 years after map 12 of plutonia was completed in 2002. In a full playthrough I would have to survive the first 8 maps before getting a single attempt on map 09 before then having to complete another 22 maps on nightmare without dying.
There is one advantage to doing map 09 after doing the first 8 maps, namely weapons like rocket launcher and plasma rifle. While there is a rocket launcher on stronghold, it is quite late and more dangerous to grab, also there is no plasma rifle. Unfortunately, map 09 comes after map 08, obviously, and map 08 happens to be a very difficult map because of the final room. Even if you survive you are very likely to start stronghold with under 100% health, so a disadvantage compared to pistol start. I've died over half the time on map 08, here I got very lucky and had good health for stronghold.
From the DoomWiki ( doomwiki.org/wiki/TNT:_Evilution ):
"TNT: Evilution, released on June 17, 1996, forms one half of Final Doom, a commercial product which consists of two 32-level Doom II IWADs (the other being The Plutonia Experiment). The "TNT" in the title stands for "The New Technology", and represents the name of the mapping team, TeamTNT, who created Evilution. It was completed in November 1995, and was to have been released for free. However, a publishing deal was brokered by John Romero the night before its planned release, resulting in the commercial publication of Final Doom by id Software. This commercialization of TNT: Evilution caused a certain amount of controversy within the Doom community, and Evilution is consequently one of Doomworld's "Top 10 Infamous WADs", albeit not for reasons of gameplay or level design. "
Final Doom: TNT Evilution is the last IWAD to be completed on nightmare. Ultimate Doom is not too difficult with 8(9) maps each episode, Doom II: Hell on Earth was completed on nightmare in 1998 while Final Doom: The Plutonia Experiment was completed last year.
This should also be the longest doom nightmare demo ever recorded.

Thanks to Xit-Vono and Ancalagon, especially Xit-Vono who did most of the work with the first completed episode 2 and 3 on nightmare and did many individual levels

[@evdestroy5304]

@@yungbushwookie6832 Doom? Yes. Final Doom? No. TNT is bland for most of its stages and Plutonia is just way too hard for any casual player to enjoy. I consider it good because at its core it's still Doom, but the level design is just...ugh. It's not a masterpiece.

Love the fast monsters, HATE the respawning. Do they also do more damage, or is it basically UV -fast -respawn?

[@ScarletDestiny6]

​@@beezle4377 Same damage as UV and HMP. So yeah its UV -fast -respawn and double ammo pickups like in ITYTD so you can deal with the respawned monsters :)

[@pakasokoste]

yeah but it's different than just the "fast" parameter. On nightmare the monsters are a tick faster than having just the fast parameter activated on uv.

[@newerest1]

@@pakasokoste it's the sameish movement speed for most monsters (demons, spectres move way faster) but they all attack faster on NM, as in they don't wait a few seconds to gain aggro which makes hitscan enemies way more dangerous. but projectiles also are flying WAY faster.

[@HaibaneKuu]

Oh... that's what I played as a kid. I knew it was Doom, but when I picked Doom I and Doom II later, I didn't find any familiar levels. I kinda forgot about it, but when I saw Wormhole level, memories kicked back in. I was really young and didn't know how to play, so I never got past Mill (that's another thing I do remember - the name of the level). And that's when I learned about IDDQD and IDKFA - before that I loaded a save and tried to do something, but failed miserably. That's why I remember the beginning of that level :)

[@sergeyshchelkunov5762]

in old map versions, on the last map you could not get the Red key and get to the Icon,,, so it effectively made TNT impossible to finish.

[@superbobor]

Not true. The missing key is in a secret map (31), thus not mandatory, and with a bit of skill you could skip most of that map, making the missing key not required.

[@PartyCrasher04]

Sergey Shchelkunov not true you could get it, modern sourceports break it

[@zerotheero]

Modern sourceports fix the missing yellow key automatically. There's also the fixed IWAD that was included in id anthology, and now you can get it from GOG.
