Another 1.2 improvement: -nomonsters and -respawn
Brought to you by:

It would be useful to be able to force -nomonsters or -respawn for playback of 1.2 demos.
Reason: demos recorded with Doom.exe 1.2 did not contain any information about whether these parameters had been used. In order to play them back, you needed to add them to the command-line for playback. Prboom-plus does not currently allow this to be done.
I have attached a small file containing two demos recorded with Doom.exe 1.2 to illustrate this.

Here is a non-constructed example:

On reflection, it might make sense to use different names for these options, such as -12nomo and -12respawn, to avoid possible conflicts.
