NES Shadowgate
This is an VERY small (5 frame) improvement to the current published run. The only change is Killing yourself with the hammer is slightly faster than using the spear. This saves having to move the cursor down an extra space to select the spear and a couple inputs getting back to 'SELF' to do the deed.
In addition to the above, other minor improvements were made in movement further optimizing certain rooms. This userfile is the fastest current run of this game.
Other thoughts
This run does not sync on BizHawk. To get it to sync there requires adding 7 frames back in due to lag differences between the emulators. If it is determined that this run is publication worthy, but the judge/staff prefers the more accurate BizHawk run; here it is.- Technically the last necessary input to beat the game occurs at frame
1342013402 of the .bk2 file. This submission includes extra inputs necessary to progress through the story/epilogue, but the game is beaten at1342013402. For publication purposes should that time be used or the final frame of epilogue input(15468)15450?
