We now a have a run for the Amiga version! It's apparently timed from when the level has loaded to when first victory screen has loaded. With DOS version the loading of victory screens are pretty much instant, whereas the Amiga version loads each several seconds from a floppy. Submitted video for some reason was cut before the password screen appears.

I thought it might not be necessary to include the load times for the Amiga version, because those can be reduced or eliminated by playing HD installed version (such as WHDLoad) or by modifying floppy speed settings on the emulator. So I'm suggesting timing to end when the screen freezes and music fades, but using the same start of time as the DOS version, from placing the castle. In this case without doing a frame count, start time of the submitted video would be 0m 29s and end time 31m 11s and total time 30m 42s.

Also, please check the current rules for timing and I'm open to feedback if you have suggestions regarding this.

More runs, cool! Since nobody has objected my suggestions for timing, I've put this into rules. Also made the description for start of time little bit more precise. Please check the rules and how submitted videos were timed before submitting! If there are better ideas about timing, please tell us. If a problem is found with current timing rules, it's better to fix it ASAP so we don't have to re-time lots of videos in the future.

So I did some testing on Amiga version and game speed seems surprisingly comparable to DOS, but it's likely not quite identical though. In any case, comparing these two versions would require re-timing the DOS runs with same rules as the Amiga version, because of Amiga version taking longer to show victory screens. Also, as the versions aren't probably 100% comparable anyways, there's not much point to do so. So I just mention this if someone would like to request separate boards for the Amiga and DOS versions, it's possible to do that. Anyways, seems like there are many games on this site done on different platforms and listed on the same board. Personally I don't care about it either way.

I would suggest keep it on 1 board for now. Oh and btw GG with your sub 20 :) @Eino

Hi there,

have not checked out this forum yet - kinda new to all of this.

Well these were my first 3 real speedruns, slowly I get it how to appropriate stop time - so dont worry anymore ;)
