And this guy does it in 20 minutes. I’m still fairly certain I couldn’t beat this game if I tried, even with a walkthrough. ---

That game felt like a Kurt Vonnegut story. I didn’t play it long enough to beat it but it was cool. ---

the only speed runs I may be able to come remotely close to is Mega Man X for snes, or Zelda : A Link to the Past I wonder how many of these speed runs are done without any kind of “tricks” ---

A lot of these people belong to sites which have certain rules for speed runs, such as no emulators, no cheats . . . and so on. Each site or person for that matter have their own guidelines. ---

I don’t think any of these are done on a TV, they are probably done with an emulator so you can pause and restore from snapshots. ---
