I just found out a bug in DOOM (v1.1): Berserk will last for an entire level,
even if the screen isn't red anymore. I noticed that you can't switch between
your hands and your chainsaw normally, but if you have berserk, you can.
But I also noticed, that after I got berserk I could still switch and that I
could still knock out those imps with one strike! So when I tried to toggle
the berserk mode with the code after berserk was worn out (I thought it was),
the screen didn't turn red, but the 'POWERUP TOGGLED' message appeared, so I
typed it correctly! So berserk lasts a whole level instead of about 20 seconds!
