Alright Folks. Here it is. A speed run of the worst game ever.
Ever.
To keep things brief, you can read up on everything about this game and its history
here. Pretty frightening what they had planned. To those too lazy to go there, I'll explain some stuff as they pertain to the run. First of all, there are six levels, but only four are accessible thanks to a glitch with the second boss. One
can access the last two levels, but you need a patched ROM or lots of luck on a console, so this run only does the first four levels. There is also a really funny jumping glitch that allows the close-combat cheetahs to jump indefinetly. I'll be utilizing that. There are also some collision problems, but they don't really speed things up. It just looks cool.
This run is currently a work in progress. I have just beaten the first boss, Dr. Morbis, at 1:10, but I'll have to redo the entire second level in order to shorten the time spent on the transition screen. I am aiming for the fastest time, killing everything that doesn't slow me down to destroy.
Apollo's levels were a breeze to play through, and I am pleased with the result. Herc's levels, however, are going to require a bit more planning. Herc's attack requires that he pauses for half a second, so I can't run-and-gun through his levels like Apollo can. I'm going to have to decide which enemies to destroy, which to barge through, and when it's fastest to do the jump glitch.
Unfortunately, I forgot my Filespace password, so you can't see it now; I'll post a link as soon as I can get my account back up and running.
If this run gets published, I believe it will be the site's first run of an unlicensed game. :)
