Description: After doing UV Speed on this map, I expected NM to be, well, a nightmare, but it actually proved quite fun. A few small route modifications help things along. The race against the arch-vile (will it toast me before I reach the invul?) is always exciting, but you generally win it if you SR50. It should be possible to save a few seconds in the red key/revenant area, with a bit of good luck and accurate play (i.e. killing the first chaingunner with a rocket in the last few gametics of the invulnerability, and squeezing through the doorway before the platform rises - I think I could have done it in this run, but it's instant death if it goes wrong). Still, there are so many places in this run where you can get held up (or simply stopped), that I'm quite happy with this demo.
