It's a good collector's item.  Truse me.

Besides, in some cases, it is more challenging than the other two
sequels - besides, some of the enemies in D1 can be a much greater
threat than certain skilled deathmatch players.

LOL. Level 7 boss shooting with smart missilies? Once you found out
it´s a laugh.
The purple bots that fire with fusion? Just challenging in long
tunnels. Final boss, the one that runs faster than Forrst Gump?

All of them need some special terrain. Any *skilled* player is
more challenging.

No necessarily on INSANE. In case you do think it is please mail me a 
zipped demo of both bosses done on this level. Thanks.

Actually, that boss is easy because of the center pillar.  If the
center pillar gets removed, the most famous tactic of doing circles is
no longer available.  In that case, you have to rely on dodging plasma
balls - which don't always come in from the same direction.  

Also, it's a major threat for the first-time player.  Why? The
newcomer doesn't know how to dodge homing projectiles that well.  

>The purple bots that fire with fusion? Just challenging in long

Yes, that's one of their strengths: tight-quarter combat.  They are
still a threat in large groups, as it is difficult to dodge
instant-kill attacks coming in from more than one direction.

> Final boss, the one that runs faster than Forrst Gump?

Still a challenge, even on difficulties below Rookie.  That boss does
can perform multiple attacks, that do one-hit-kills even when they
miss. Not only that, but the boss also gates in other enemies that are
extremely dangerous.

Two words: Cloaked Driller.  Even *skilled* players are scared by the
regular driller - the cloaked driller is much worse.  Not onlt that,
but the cloaked driller sometimes appears in groups...

Some years ago I played D1 on "insane" difficultiy. I got stuck at
level 21, overwhelmed by simple firepower of the bots.

Lueder

P.S.: It is *big fun* for me to play against the bots, from time to time.
I really enjoy it. Anyway it is no challenge in comparison to
multiplayer games.

The driller is the silver-grey bot that fires with vulcan, right?
Entering a room with 4 of them on different places is not really
challenging, it is just unfair.

Anyway, my intention was not start a useless single vs. multiplayer
discussion...

Use homing missiles: 1 shot kill on the drillers and you can get em without
line-of-sight.

But this does not work on *cloaked* drillers...
