Nathan Graves is a vampire hunter trying to save his master, Morris, from the clutches of Dracula. Normally this would require collecting lots of spells and items as well as hours of leveling, but OgreSlayeR proves collectible card games passé by gathering almost none of the cards required for spells and blazing through the game at warp speed without regard to levels or his own safety.

This movie is about 1 minute improvement to the previous version by the same author, by the means of better playing precision, taking more damage, and other changes.

OgreSlayeR makes short work of this normally several-hours long game, with the help of several interesting bugs and glitches, and kills Dracula humiliatingly in a mere 5 minutes.

Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap (AKA Dragon's Curse and Monster World II Dragon No Wana in Japan) is a 1989 platform game by Sega and Westone. This game is a direct sequel to Wonder Boy in Monster Land and starts in the final lair of the previous game. According to Wikipedia, it is widely considered to be one of the best games produced for the Sega Master System.

AngerFist and OgreSlayeR rush through this game in a little over half an hour. Expect to see some speedy boomerang usage, manipulated boss fights, and a couple glitchy sequence breaks.

Note: This run does not collect the Tasmanian Sword (which allows the player to change his form at will). A run collecting the Tasmanian Sword would probably be considered in a separate category from this run.

ActRaiser (1990) is a critically acclaimed SNES game which combines two major gameplay phases: a god simulator and an action platformer. You play the role of a deity called the Master, who awakens from his slumber only to find that the human civilization is completely wrecked, and hordes of demons are roaming free. Player's role as the Master is to restore and help develop the civilization anew, by controlling it during the overhead phases through a bow-wielding cupid, who also repels mischievous demons. The second part of the role is to open new locations for humans to inhabit, and to deal with the catastrophes happening there, which usually have something to do with grotesque monsters. This is where the action stages are used.

We recommend reading the author's comments for explanations on the actions taken in the movie.
