I'm curious as the 1st and only run here says theres new strats to have it be faster. What are there strats? Also I'm curious if anyones going to try that HD remake that's on steam. It's in early access, and is cool that it exists in 2020! You can get it now.

It's been a while since I've looked at this run, but from what I remember, my new strats were a way to skip all the fights in the pyramid, graveyard, and mines stages (well, except for the required boss fight at the end of the pyramid). I never finished a run with the new strats in place, though, because my game kept crashing in the mines, likely because my Amiga emulator wasn't set up properly (it was running way way too fast).

Going off my old memory, so this may not be 100% accurate, but skipping fights was based on how the encounter system worked - enemies approach you, and then when you engage them in combat, they move onto the same "tile" that you're on, blocking you from walking forward. However, if you see an enemy approaching and simply turn 90° and wait for them to engage you from the side, they will "teleport" in front of you and initiate combat. Now, you can just turn forward instead of fighting them and walk right past them.

This saves a significant amount of time in the 3 stages with combat, especially the Graveyard (skipping all those randomly spawning zombies not only saves tons of time, but makes for a much safer stage). Again, my details could be off a bit, but I remember it being something like that.

And this is the 1st time I'm hearing about the HD remake! I'll be sure to check it out, thanks!

I should try that trick, but first I should play through the game in a non speedrun way as I've only seen this game in action from an episode of Creepy Bad Endings which was where I found this game when I was like 15 or something. XD

I'll do the DOS version as I've never gotten the hang of Amiga emulation, never could get it running properly with UAE.
