Wow, and you could use that trick for continuous slides.

Yeah, but using the Health refills means losing some health...
The health you lose would be during the hit that this trick is trying to minimize the time of in the first place. But unless the weapon is out that is needed (air in this example), it may not be worth the time to switch weapons.
Well, I think he gets the refill AND the hit on the same frame... So I don't know how the game would react (since we don't know what will be inputed first: the energy drop, or the energy gain?).

Yeah, but using the Health refills means losing some health... So unless there's a "take damage to save time" place in the same level, it wouldn't work.

Wow, I'm really starting to like frameadvance... Not only for the "first-person" mode, but for ladders, using monsters for speed boosts, etc. I'm working with 2 movies at the same time: One as my first try, and the other trying to beat that first try. That way, I can work on a list with my improvements and errors... And trust me, ladders=errors...

Hmmm, it was basically optimisations (tons of them!! Both in "First person exploration" and Equipment Menu), but I found some other tricks. One of them is killing "2 hits" enemies with one hit (assuming you're using the yoyo, I haven't tried with the harpoon yet). Doesn't make things faster, but cool to watch. Entering doors is like climbing a ladder: you don't have to be right in the middle to activate (open) it. By heart, that's what I remember... If I remember what else I found, I'll post them. Edit: Thanks OmnipotentEntity! I'll try that!

Sounds recoverable.
I hope so, I had about 7 unfinished Timeattacks on that drive: Bucky O'Hare, King's Quest 5, Gimmick!, The Goonies II, and some others...

Does the hard drive work at all? Couz if thats so I can help you restore the data on the disk.
Well, when it starts loading Windows XP (with the logo on the screen), the computer restarts. Back on the loading screen, it resets again, etc. I tried to put it as a slave, I tried to load it from my USB drive box: nothing works.

Time to revive this thread. I've been working on an improved version of The Goonies II, but my hard drive went boom... I was about halfway in the game, and about 15-20 (if not more) faster than the existing Timeattack... I'll start redoing it tonight!

Since I don't really know the physics of this game, I can't really say that you could do better. But this movie is entertaining, so yeah, it should be published.
