     No one has mentioned this so let me be the first. Try bumping into
the orange robots a couple of times. After two or three bumps you can blow
them up. But they are blasting you while you are bumping them. I found on
level six that you can get out of the replicator room quicker by bumping
the orange guys ahead of you and blasting them at close range thereby
letting you get out to do battle with the red spiders with more health.
     What a game!! I was on level 16 of Doom2 but I just zipped it and put
it to sleep on my hard drive. Playing full screen in compete darkness is
the best.I cant wait so bye.

Actually, the "bumping" strategy, which I have been calling "ramming", works 
*very* well against the blue enemies.  Apparently if you bump them once real 
hard, you throw them into a spin and then they can't shoot you as they are 
facing the wrong direction.  Those blue lasers are *FAST*!
