RussiaChecked same EGA Floppy version on DosBox 0.74-3 - the Switch Glitch on level 5 also works there.
Also wow, holding down the mouse button really speeds up the game on DosBox. And everything seems to be faster overall, including the loading screens. So DosBox runs are potentially way faster than ScummVM ones it looks like.
Regarding splitting, I do not have much experience with this kind of stuff, so I'm ok either way I guess :)
Hi, the run was done on EGA Floppy version with ScummVM, didn't test it on other versions.
The glitch at 3:22 is the following: when the skeleton appears from the coffin, you can hold SPACE to avoid the damage from it. This would constantly switch between gobliiins and I guess the switch takes precedence over the damage trigger. You can also spam-click pickup action on an empty spot with Oups to skip the damage, but I am not sure if it's faster.
At 21:40 what happens is I leave Ignatius on the dragon spot to save a bit of time by taking damage, i.e. normally you would move him away, but I switch to Oups immediately to pick up the seeds. The glitch here is purely visual, I guess it happens because the game needs to play animation for a certain gobliiin, but another gobliiin is selected. This provides no benefit by itself, just looks kind of funny I guess.
I also do spam-clicking to speed up the movement, but this was already mentioned before I think.
I'll add the first one to guides, not sure if the second one should be.
Oh, I totally missed your comment. I didn't tweak much in ScummVM besides some aspect ratio settings to better fit the recording setup. Maybe it's the ScummVM version that makes a difference, mine is 2.9.0. Regarding the PC, I have a Asus TUF gaming F15 laptop, but not sure how to measure the performance between mine and yours :)
Ooooh nice trick with the positioning, congrats! I should try it as well probably :)
This is EGA DOS version run with ScummVM. GOG pack has VGA version I think. Not sure if there are any differences besides the graphics and sound.
It's not mentioned in the manuals I think, I just tried all the buttons randomly, hoping something will work, and it did :) Sadly the later Goblins games do not have any shortcuts, or at least I wasn't able to find any.
Yes, there are shortcuts: ESC to open the menu, F1 to load. Also SPACE to change between gobliiins.
