Hello everyone,

as one of the old school players, who was active in the game in the early 2000s when the hype was big, I've noticed some uploades times here were claimed as WR's, but they are far away from it. For example, the verified WR in Outdoor on PC is 1:30:64, as you can see here: https://web.archive.org/web/20070818122921/http://moorhuhn-kart.bild.t-online.de/highscore2.php?track=1

This is the old online Highscore list, which was closed around the late 2000s, and the latest screenshot from Web Archive. Personally, I saw a 1:30:60 in a local highscore list which was not uploaded to the leaderboards (I think there was also a reset of the online highscores, maybe that is the reason), and I saw a 1:30:70 live from the player named "Lexx" in the highscore list. He was also playing as "spider7" (where I get my nickname from) and "SebastianZ". My personal best also was a 1:31:1x around that time, but there is no video proof or something left.

In general the moorhuhn speedrun / highscore community was way ahead of there time, cause the structure and events are very close comparable with what happening in many other speedrunning communities today. I think we should respect the highscore achived in the 2000s and refer to what we can see in the internet archive today about that time. Sadly most of all great achivements of that time are not video proofed, but as a participant in the glorious era of Moorhuhn I can tell you something was out of the world compared to what we see today.

So, let's push together to bring the true WRs to the modern era. Feel free to ask If you need more information about it or just wanna hear something about the good old times :-)

Hey everyone,

as an "old school" Moorhuhn player, who put 1000s of hours in nearly all Moorhuhn games in the 2000s and early 2010s, I am very happy to see some activity about our loved chicken here.

For now only the kart games are represented here, but I think the main thing about Moorhuhn are the shooter games. I know, there is all about the points and not the times, but to make a series like moorhuhn complete we have at least to talk about all these games. Is it possible and in your opinion a good idea to place all Moorhuhn shooter games also here on speedrum.com, or are only games with something about the time allowed? Maybe we can create some new categories for the shooter games like "fastest 1000 points" or so. What do you think?

From my side I can offer you my willigness to moderate the whole Moorhuhn Series here on speedrum.com. I was also moderator in the official german Moorhuhn forum, but it was closed at the end of 2017. With contacts to some of the developers of the Moorhuhn series, a YouTube Channel with many gameplay videos about Moorhuhn and at least (I hope so) some decent personal bests in the games I am once more ready for competition. If there is some interest in it, I can also create a discord server for the Moorhuhn speedrunning community.

You always meet twice guys, so I am ready to shoot for the highscores once more, like we all did back in the glorious time of the Moorhuhn.
