Played on original hardware with original cartridge. First recorded time was around my birthday. Second recorded time happened on Christmas Eve - both gifts to myself. I definitely think Sub 1 hr is possible for this category, with good movement and good route to potions.

Note: Around 1:26:40 time, the cutscene with Chakan, before the Death fight, has him split in half. Not sure what that's about, but wanted to make it known. Have to check my other vid to see if this happens in it.
