There comes a time in every gamer's life when he gets bored. Some will go and buy a new game while some will replay their old games and try and finish it in the shortest time possible. This practice can give some amazing results such as:

- Half-Life finished in 45 minutes

 

- Super Mario 64 in 20 minutes

 

or even Morrowind: The Elder Scrolls III in 7 minutes 30!

Yep, seen them already. But good stuff

I believe one of the original ones was Doom, using every trick to exploit glitches in the game, rocket jumps, other things..

makes me want to play mario 64 that was awsome!

Someone else beat it in 16 minutes, I think... We were watching it in drafting... I can't watch the Morrowind one, but I want to pretty bad! Sheesh!

All about speedrunning

I just posted this minutes ago in another forum:

 

You can beat the main quest of Morrowind in ~14 minutes.

 

Which leaves an frickin' ton of faction quests... misc. side quests... and little "WTF?" quests.

 

And that's not even counting the quests in Tribunal or Bloodmoon.

 

So 7:30 can go jump off a cliff.

I've seen a few of these before as well, alsways impressive. I like seeing some of the bugs in earlier games that can be easily exploited - like in HL1 where you can run right past the Head Crabs without worrying about them

 

Still, I prefer to take my time with games and enjoy them

Should I even mention the various Halo Speed runs?

You can if you want.

 

This guy beat HL: Opposing Forces in 27 minutes. It took me several days.

Halo

Individual level runs, Legendary difficulty:

Silent Cartographer 4:18 <= 01.07.04 Andrew 'goatrope' Halabourda

 

?? I thought he went back and did it again in 4:07 ?....meh.

Read the description above.

 

Note: the following table is out of date. Halo records were tracked by highspeedhalo.org, but it's offline right now.

There were some vids of a speedrun in Jedi Knight or in Jedi Outcast. Pretty amazing to watch.

I have to download them. The tricks they find to go faster are quite amazing.

This needs to be checked out. Ultimate speed run in the making here.

When the author posted this, stating they are currently six seconds from their goal, why post this? Why not wait another six seconds?

Because at some point it becomes difficult to shave an additional 6 seconds off your current time.

Sorry, I read that wrongly! Forgive D16 dude!

[Devil's Advocate mode]Why wait? Get the word out right away and more people will know about it when they get around to knockin off those 6 seconds.[/Devil's Advocate mode]
