How stupid of me. After Demon King, what was I thinking when I returned back to Purapril Inn? I lost another 37 seconds in that... Perhaps you then can be able to take that 7 minutes from my time.

45-minutes-run would be nice to see. And it sure was fun to play this game. Now I must find something as fun to play :(

My first and probably only version is complete! 51:06:60 So it's way under your "good time of under 65 minutes", Aqfaq :D I expect you to drop off 3-5 minutes. If more, then I'm really positively surprised. I now found more mistakes: - No need to take Elixir in pyramid - Didn't use all the Power spells in Demon King.

Updated again! 43 minutes to beginning of Cloud Castle. I hope watching my play saves you time Aqfaq. Some tips: - Don't take Shabo in Childam. He's cute but useless. Save 6 seconds. - Keep your return point always in Purapil Inn. After getting Legendary Sword in Draconia it saves 23 seconds for you.

Looks very good! Those early boots certainly speeds up walking. Are you going to collect 300 gold for Knight Sword and Ladder Boots? Get as much as possbile from 1st boss.

Don't worry, if it was only 3 minutes you lost (or did you just compress it wrong?). You don't necessarily need to compress it if it's a small file. I've lost up to 10 hours in my SF1-timeattack, which is near to end, but still I don't feel like I would like to finish it :( Btw, I updated my file. It now gets two Pygmy eq but is still a bit faster than previous. Could save perhaps 10seconds with luck manipulation in coins.

Thanks! Yeah, I forgot the Pygmy Sword, but that was just testing :) If more people are doing timeattack and comparing, the faster good results can be achieved, I think. Knight Sword kills those aboriginals in forest much faster than normal sword. What else weapon would you use? Aqfaq, get an account from Freewebs. It's fast to register and good for files like these.

I tried too. It's pretty fun game to timeattack. Here's my file played to Sphinx in 26 minutes. Mistakes I made: -Killed few mushrooms for fun :) -Not enough money to buy Ladder Boots in first visit (this slowed down much) -Didn't visit Inn before going to Atlantis and Return brought me back to home Aqfaq I hope this helps you. How much faster you did this part of game?

Helldhaz: Today it's hockey day, so I can do perhaps only battle #24. Entire game should be ready on next week's Tuesday or Wednesday as there's no time to play in weekend.

Sorry but I thought victory conditions in that map were: 1. Kill all enemies 2. Bring Max to the bridge

I've advanced to the end of chapter three. By far it has taken 1h36m and it seems whole game will take over 4 hours. This first run is not meant to be played as fast as possible, but to see what it will take in future. Third chapter's second battle was slowest of all battles, so if anyone could give some advice, I would appreciate that. The gmv-file is updated in the link I posted earlier.

I tried to start too, but after trying to watch my recording, I soon realised it isn't possible to do an optimal gmv-file. And the reason is that the turn order changes sometimes and can screw your moves after that. This far I have knowledge only in the first battle, so making an avi-video could require only some retries to get correct turn order. Here's my try of first three battles(23mins): http://www.freewebs.com/suklaalevy/files/sf1.rar Optimal play is over one minute faster, but it doesn't work. The ROM is same as DarkKobold used.
