Information in the text files submitted alongside demos may contain errors, missing information, links that are now dead, or contact info that is no longer valid. In particular many .txt files refer to doomedsda.us, a demo archive that no longer exists. Everything has been left as-is, with the goal to accurately represent the material as it appears in the archive. Links to the PWAD & Demo on dsdarchive.com are found at the bottom of the description.

The date is not specified in the .txt file so I have provided the creation date of the demo file. This is generally accurate, but please note that this information is also occasionally incorrect.

Comments:

Not one of Eternal's finer moments in terms of level design, but the gameplay can be
quite enjoyable if you like Tyson style. It's fairly easy, but not a complete walk in the
park.

Peo recorded a good Tyson TAS (with Fast Monsters) over a decade ago and it's held up
pretty well over the years. Due to this being a straight UV Max demo, the two aren't
directly comparable. The Tyson category allowed Peo to skip the first secret and let the
crusher handle the Arch-Vile, which would've saved me several seconds. Fast Monsters,
while making health more important even in a TAS, also has the potential to speed up the
last battle considerably.

My favorite moments are the Chaingun grab ('pistol only' my hairy butt) and the end of
the following near-perfect infight between the Baron and Mancubus (it took a mere two
bullets to finish off the winner). Also of note is an exit room Sergeant who gets killed
by a stray Mancubus fireball right after I finish off the other two.
