Hrrrmmm  - finished Quake on Nightmare mode recently including Scourge of 
Armagon and Dissolution of Eternity. Quite doable unlike Doom.

It was also the first time that I realised how the ammo box in E4M5 (counts 
as a secret) on one of the supports it supposed to be obtained. For several 
years I thought you were supposed to jump from where the Death Knight is 
along roof hangers, cursing my lack of skill. But it is impossible. Instead 
you jump up on the angle firelight and jump again onto ammo box. Easy!!!
