I think that we need some topics to share our experiences and archievments in particular challenges. I'll post my mortem for beginning. It's my second try of 0985, and it's not bad. But i suppose that some people could do it better. Post your records!

-- General ---------------------------------------------------
Before him 1 brave souls have ventured into Phobos:
Some rumours though, say that the Cyberdemon was killed already!
Is he immortal? 1 souls claim to have killed him...
1 killed the bastard and survived. (*****)
--------------------------------------------------------------
(*) Killed everyone on previous levels(i like to clear ALL), but appearence of Arch-Vile blocking way to exit destroyed all plans to even survive this level. I can imagine that you can kill Arch-Vile with pistol if you have all perks related on pistols, at least 100% hp and nobody biting your in ass. Otherwise you will win only with dozens of luck.
(**) Visited only Chained Court, because i won't survive with pistol on arena even 1 round. The only reason to visit The Wall with pistol was to look at the wall, to listen to the sounds and then go away.
(***) Not bad set of perks, but not the best. If anybody have an idea about the better - post here.
(****) He-he, i was really ammo truck on legs.)))
(*****) I posted this YAVP in another topic here.
well, 0985 seems to be quite possible to win for experienced player(but i tested only on Hurt Me Plenty, haven't opened yet Ultra Violence, or Nightmare!).
