After having read several negative opinions, I'd like to add something positive Star Control II is in my opinion one of the most amazing games ever, and merely seeing a speedrun attempted at all is great. On top of that, the way you executed every single step of this with absolute precision (the melee battles and planet-falls were impressive!) was just fantastic, let alone the fact that I had no idea how much material could be skipped. (I would always have thought that a speedrun would involve lots of rainbow worlds, upgraded landers and big guns). Of course this is not going to be an epiphany for someone who hasn't played the game yet, but which speedrun ever is? That's not the point. And compared to a bleak Quake run, this one is still very entertaining for the soundtrack alone. Congratulations on this amazing feat, you certainly made my day! (And to everyone who didn't see why this game is good, go get the free "The Ur-Quan Masters" and have a go yourself.)
