This is 4 pic, it'll explain pretty much everything :P
I missed one/two line of text immediately before (forgot to take a pic) but thats no big deal.
First, I cheated there : I kept my save everytime, then load, then try to get the exit relatively close so I could get to the next level. At the last level before the cyberdemon, I got an invulnerability globe (like wingie said) and used the thermonuclear bomb to kill the cyberdemon. Then you see in the screenshot how it looks.

TO DOWNLOAD, RIGHT CLICK AND SAVE AS! Otherwise it doesn't work.
Inside is the save file, you'll start in Hell's Fortress (with 0 change of winning, your level 2 here).
Im doing all this so everyone can understand everything, with no mistake. The only thing im wondering if its possible to kill him...
Again, thanks to wingie, he is the one who discovered all that first.

Just a note- there's no picture on John Carmack's monsterlook screen. How unusual. I was at least expecting an ANSI image of John Romero's Head on a Stick =/Guess he didn't wanted to reveal the secret to anyone, even the one who made ASCII picture :P

I'm pretty sure a mugshot of John Carmack would be easy to come by...
Perhaps in the next version?
