Thanks ;) Suggestions are always welcome though. Even though I think I thought about pretty much everything. But I can never be sure ;)

Actually im not sure if dying is faster in the beginning. But I seriously doubt it. TNSe sort of helped me out with this since he created a demo of what I would have to do if I were to die. One start of this game is to get the ring, then die to get energy and mana. Then visit the king, go buy stuffs so you get 0 golds, revisit the king for another 1500 golds. Then buy one last thing (elixir for example) which you couldn't afford before and then proceed. By doing this it means you have to first of all ,since you are dying, see the text "Don't have negative thoughts bla bla bla". After that you need to buy 1-4 extra things to get exactly 0 golds so you can revisit the king. And he talks alot ;) And then you have to buy that last thing you could'nt afford and then you can leave town. Im pretty sure this would take more time. I concider it anyways but choosed not to even if it were to be faster because it's uncool to die. I think it's cooler to have almost no energy sometimes in this hard game. The only good thing I can think of with this tactic is that you would have 1100 money left when leaving the first town. Meaning you could fight the first boss 3 times less. Good point though.

If I were to collect money for another pair of wing boots in the third town (they cost 2800 and the boss gives me ~400 everytime I kill him) that would force me to kill the first boss yet another 7 times. Would that be more interresting? Oh, and the next place where I can buy wing boots is in Conflate (Where I get the second last ring) and there they cost a small sum of 5500 golds. If I were to collect this on the first boss or those yellow enemies (they both gives ~400 golds each) I would have to kill em 16 times more. Would that be entertaining? As for the energy, I can gain pretty much energy by killing enemies who drops those breads. But (again) since I don't wanna waste like 10 minutes alone on the first boss collecting money for the entire run I don't see _that_ much point in gaining more speed by taking more damage since I have to kill loads of enemies anyways. This means I can't really take more damage because I wouldn't earn anything from it. It might be possible though to take more damage from the Dwarf King to the last boss but I tried that and in those situations I had to choose between being pushed backwards or killing the enemies in my way. I choosed the later since IMO it looks less shabby. I tried to take damage and to gain speed from it but I couldn't do it on all enemies. Therefore I killed them. Hope that's answer enough.

Wing boots first. They unfortunately don't grow everywhere. I only found those 2 places where I could get a pair without buying them. If I want to buy them later on they will cost me loads of money, and if I were to collect those money the run would be very much less interesting. As for the mana usage, yes I could probably have fired off another... well not that many shots actually. This is because in the last town where I spend 500 golds to refill mana and energy im pretty close to not get a full mana meter. And I want an almost full mana meter so I can use tilte on the Dwarf King. So ok, say I could have fired off another 5-10 shots. But that would'nt have saved much time actually. I still needs to kill almost all enemies to collect money. It is very hard to judge if you can fire 1 shot or if it will have consequenses ~15 minutes later in the game (meaning like 4 hour game time!!!!). Good points though.

Thanks Tombad! I agree with those shop owners. They are really stupid. I thought saying "Hello" once was enough but apparently they suffer from short memory loss and has to say "Hello bla bla" every time I want something.

I think I played this game back in the days.. From my memory it is one of the most boring, worthless and boring games ever! It is the game with this mummy, right? (Ok he was in a fire accident I think) If you decide to do this I hope you find something really cool but else im not that eager to see this run =/ Edit: It was that game. If you decide to make it I wish you good luck!

Hmm, im not quite sure I understood all of that. But here's the deal with jumping and attacking. When hitting an enemy in mid air you will stop. However, if magic is used it's possible to continue jumping. But since I have limited mana I can't do that all the time. Also in some cases there are enough room to jump, strike and hit them as you land. I don't think I missed any of those situations though. In most cases it was just best to hit them as soon as possible because I couldn't accelerate and then strike or accelerate or jump over them or something because I need all money I can get..

Agreed to Blechy I Guess. But is it not allowed to use a different rom? Sounds strange. I will read the rules carefully though. I guess there are an explenation of it.

What was your previous time? And Except those misses you had in that version I liked it! Turtles is a great game. I remember your run like ~25 minutes maybe. That would your new run 2 minutes faster which IS pretty much. I would say either go for it or redo it again. I know it ain't funny the 4711 time you have to redo stuffs but that happens though =/

Ah. I just got informed that it was a "only-1-item-run". Sorry for that. Anyways. The run is great and very surprising! Awesome.

I also voted like Mazzic. This is because if there are cool bugs I think they should be used. I think Bisqwit mentioned a good example. In PAL-Rygar you can jump over the river but not in the US-version. I don't know how this works but without that "glitch" the Rygar run would be less entertaining. But if there are no bugs like that I'd say go for the newer version.

I just checked it. It looks really cool! I have one question though. If you are going to improve this, wouldn't it be faster to take that missile pack you skipped? And maybe use those few missiles to kill those balls? Im not that familiar with Metroid actually so I don't really know but I think it was a cool route.

In FF3. Aren´t there summoners like in FF4? And that´s why you kill Bahamuth? Atleast I remember it like that. And FF3j's last boss is teh_hardest ever imo. I don't know how long it took me to kill it.

I haven´t seen this run and I can´t since I dont have the Gens-emulator. It could be very well done but a tip is to not play above 20% speed to get much more control of the game. I don´t know if the Gen-emulator differs much from Famtasia either. Just a tip ;) Cool to see new guys submit anyways.

Kim is one of those names that could be either a boy or girl name. Atleast it is like this in Sweden ;) And I know both a girl and a dude named Kim.

I guess the maps would just repeat after.. let´s say stage 25 or something. Yeah, it would be most impressive to see this perfected because the controls are a bit.. unprecise. I wish anyone who makes this good luck.

Argh. I'll program a Master System emulator in the only programming "language" I sort of master then, HTML. Ah well. I hope it will be one working emu eventually.
