We use the DOSBox emulator, cranked up really fast (91,960 cycles) so you move very quickly at Fastest speed. Then we use a whole lot of fun tricks and glitches to get through the game as fast as possible. The guard with the cage only shows up if you get trapped by his snare. I go through a small hole where the cliff would normally make you fall, and am able to walk up into the sky and skip a couple jungle screens, including the snare trap. So when you arrive at the camp with the rope, there's no guard, and you skip that bit entirely!

WHERE????? WALK INTO THE SKY?????.....

Actually, I'm not sure. This is the earlier disk version. I'll check the CD version... someday.

thanks! I'm pretty proud of this one 😅

It was information the universe needed to give you

likely a thong in reality

Speedo High cut, yellow😂

The guy gets really invested in his reading

Same here! Sharpening the knife on the stairs did NOT occur to me for a very long time.

@@swimfanTV mine was realising I had to tip the maitre'd and that the song in the instruction manual was the correct directions to get through the jungle.

I couldn't have done it without you!

So, so much waiting

Thanks! 😁 So, the captain in the homicide office will tell you that Jessie Bains escaped jail, which starts the events of the game. But he'll only do that if you've done a few other things first: got the gun from the locker, fixed your gun sights, and the field kit is NOT in the bin (the assumption is you're carrying it or it's in your car trunk). Once we do all this and get the news from cap, there is no other required use for the field kit in the any% run, and it's a little faster to put it back in the bin rather than put it in your trunk, and you can't enter your car if it's in your inventory.

@@swimfanTV ahhh, thanks for this. I had seen that pickup of the kit in this and other speedruns and couldn't figure out why that was part of it. Amazing work, again. I never would've guessed that sequences like the warehouse and inn are optional.

@@josephcurtin9326 I don't think those parts are supposed to optional, but they left open a path to skip them if you have foreknowledge. By going to Marie's essentially right after you normally would have been on the date scene with her, you learn she's been kidnapped early and get the hit list, one of two key pieces of evidence (the other being Colby's business card, found in the motel room). This gives you the opportunity to present Cpt. Hall with evidence, and the hit list is sufficient to authorize the flight to Steelton.

what part are you having trouble with? what are you seeing instead?

do tell! 😮

@@swimfanTV Sent you a message on SR. Not sure how to replicate your skip.

The desert is huge -- about 8,000 screens -- but it is all technically one room. Your position in the desert is given by a formula, where going west/east moves you -/+ 1 "Desert Rooms", and north/south moves you -/+ 1,000. There are some regular "Game Rooms" such as the Oasis, Griffin, and Julanar in the desert, each of which has a corresponding Desert Room# so you can find them in the desert. Like all regular game rooms, they also have a Game Room #. For example, the Oasis is: DR 6303 / GR 620. For reasons we don't quite understand, putting Game Rooms in the desert was implemented in such a way that *all rooms in the game* are accessible in the desert, at the *negative* of their respective GR #. So we picked the closest desert location that took us furthest in the game: GR -820, the start of the ending sequence. Leaving the city, we start at DR 1300. We go south 1, use a spell sliding glitch to position the hero at the top of the screen where there's less of him to load in as we travel, then run west 116 screens. We go up to the mountains and are at DR 1184. Using two more spell slides northwest, we trick the game into ignoring mountain collision as we travel further north (and west), finally reaching DR -820. Also known as Game Room 820, the ending! Yay, we did it!

seems pretty nice

thanks! there is indeed a game speed control, which is already set to Fastest (I set it as I enter the magic shop at the beginning). we would love to be able to skip that wait! :)

@@swimfanTV Ah, yes could see that now!

You too!

oops, 9 seconds it is

@@swimfanTV no worries, you can do 8 : )
