Death Gate (1994 DOS) Any% Speedrun in

Описание: OBSOLETED BY    • Death Gate (1994 DOS) Any% Speedrun in 16:...  

My first complete "test run" after having just finished routing the entire game ... and an apparent "automatic world record."

I could find no evidence that speedruns of this 30 year old game exist, even though people speedrun pretty much every other game, whether or not it even makes sense or would be a good run ... so I decided I would. This is also a continuation of a project I started 30 years ago to "speedrun" the game, though the goal and timing has been updated today for modern standards.

This run aims for the fastest possible time to reach the end, starting from a fresh new game, without exploiting major glitches (of which I don't know any anyway). Sound and speech is disabled throughout the entire game to save time. Timing begins on the first frame the "This elegant ... studying a tome." text appears, and ends as soon as "use seal piece on focus" text is replace by the final points award. Exact timing rules may be subject to change.

There are quite a few mistakes in this run to clean up, and I'd also like to do a more polished run with splits (even though final timing will still be based on exact video frame timestamps).
