I'm trying to figure out what to do with Jack in the Dark. Right now, the original run by Neguuy seems to be on the original 11000 cycles that comes from the GOG.com version.

The other 2 runs by Mouton and Pazuzu are both on 24000 cycles. Mouton figured it was a good speed, and Pazuzu followed suit. This saves quite a bit of time of course. In any case, I learned the route earlier today and played on 24000, since it seemed like the consensus speed.

I was then contacted by Planet23k about a run they had, where they played on 55000 cycles. I'm now uncertain what to do in regards to this situation. Here's some options:

  1. Right now, I have it with a "Legacy" category, where the max speed is 24000, as it is the speed most of the competition was on. The other category is "Any%" where you can play at higher speeds (like 55000) if you want.

  2. You could also argue that 11000 is the speed that GOG.com ships the game at, and should be the "Legacy" category speed, instead of 24000. The 24000 runs, and anything beyond, could go in "Any%".

  3. You could also argue to only have 1 category, where anything goes in regards to CPU cycle speed, OR is capped at a certain value (either 11000 or 24000 or something else).

These are the options I can think of. Curious if anyone ever reads this and has thoughts or feedback. Also, I'm not certain how JitD ended up being here with Alone2, rather than with Alone1, but I guess it works.

Been considering making a guide/tutorial for the game. Not that it's extremely complex, but hey more life into the game never hurts. Post here to show interest.
