I'm a big fan of speed runs and normally use http://speeddemosarchive.com/ (http://speeddemosarchive.com/) which covers most systems released.  Always happy for another speed run site as there isn't that many out there.

I would love to be able to do a Prince of Persia run on my A500 but have no way (or clue) on how to connect it all up to my PC so it can be recorded with FRAPS.

Anyone got any fave speedruns?

The first speedrun I watched which was on the cover DVD by PC Gamer was for Half Life in an hour by Marshmallow.  I just couldn't believe how the guy managed do some of the jumps and level exploits.  Got totally hooked on speedruns at that point.

Also loved watching two Half Life 2 speedruns.  One done in a legit way that I could almost duplicate and the even quicker second run which has some of the craziest bunny hopping I've ever seen.

Also found it handy for some games I never got round to completing like PoP 2: Warrior Within which I personally found to be an awful game and after watching the speedrun I was glad I stopped playing it in the early stages as it was nothing but a game full of backtracking.

Currently downloading the speedrun for Beast 2 as its the only one in the trilogy I never saw completed.

Looks like I'll have to wait before watching the Beast 2 run, damn buffer overrun whenever I try to start it :(

I kinda did another world as an "almost" speedrun, when someone on amigagames.com got stuck at one part but was rubbish at describing it.

took me around 50 minutes to compete it.... and its on here www.djcresswell.com/anotherworld - it captured from my a1200 HD running into my PC.


personally i prefer score-hunting, and as a result one of my fave sites is: www.retrogamingscoreboard.tk (all participents welcome to join!)
