This is a historic movie, submitted and obsoleted before the creation of the database-based (and wiki-based) site engine, before July 2004.

It was inserted to the database in a history revival project by Bisqwit in autumn 2006.

Quote from Exim (for his movie, but applies to this one as well):
This one has the "bad" end. (not the worst)
There are 3 endings: no money earned; earned some money and found all 7 map pieces. I'm thinking about doing the best end but I don't know if this would be interesting because I'd have to visit some places twice and it would be a lot longer.

This movie plays on hardest difficulty and does a fairly good job and being speedy.

This game is known as Shadow of the Ninja in the USA.

In this game, jumping and slashing is faster than regular running.
This timeattack looks quite good.

Note: Famtasia plays PAL games at NTSC speed, that is 16.7% too fast. Thus the AVI is significantly faster than the movie should actually be.

This is a historic movie, submitted and obsoleted before the creation of the database-based (and wiki-based) site engine, before July 2004.

It was inserted to the database in a history revival project by Bisqwit in winter 2010.

As for the movie itself... This is Exim's 2nd attempt, nearly 2 minutes faster than before. The improvements come from a better route (that visits 11 less rooms) and overall better precision.

Solstice movies get shorter and shorter by every release, just like most of the other movies. The amazing thing is that nobody could see them coming. Another 20 seconds squeezed here.

When I released the 7th version and I asked whether this would be the final version, my question was apparently answered. So - another 18 seconds squeezed off here :)

As for the movie itself... Exim's 6th attempt, about a minute and a half faster than the previous movie (his 3rd version). Improvements come from new tricks and yet another route that shaves about 20 rooms off.

A fast completion on Super Turrican - a game that is said to be extremely difficult, and a game that was entirely produced by one man.

Actually quite impressive - upon closer inspection, the game doesn't look very easy, yet the player thrusts full speed through everything.

Please read the welcome page if you haven't already done so. It explains the rules and methods that apply to all of these movies, particularly the use of savestates and frame advance. Also refer to our Glossary to understand terms we use, such as TAS or other unfamiliar terms.
