      You're just saying that to be a contrarian. Par for the course here, I guess.

      Some retro games have official speedrunning modes. It's called "Time Attack".

        Time attack is just a tight timer though.

          Now in some games it works so that time is effectively your high score and the lower it gets, the higher you place in the ranking.

    Unless you're speedrunning them as a first time player, which can't be done since it would be impossible to prove, it's only really interesting when there's clever tricks or previously unknown ways - usually for low score - to finish the game. But you don't really need speedrunning for that. You're mostly just showing off how fast you can click a mouse and might as well just play competitive Starcraft instead.

    Get on HRT and start speedrunning them, then.

    no there shouldn't be. the dynamic variables that could be exploited in an adventure game are really boring. you might as well speedrun a gui.

      not really
      just op being clueless on where he is or what hes even talking about

      i WILL tell him hes wrong tho
      i cant think of a more pointless thing that could be done than speedrunning a fricking kings quest game
      the guy ITT who made a quip about speedrunning a GUI, thats hardly a joke. thats unironically a more useful and transferable skill

        If I have fun speedrunning Myst how does that personally affect you

          ngl it makes me slightly uncomfortable that someone so unbelievably dull could not only exist, but also would feel the need to announce/defend that they speedrun a fricking point and click game
          thats absolutely shameful anon
          you should be utterly embarrassed of yourself if you can speedrun myst

          if you absolutely must, why not choose a game that mechanically supports going fast? point and clicks are the absolute antithesis of fast

            I do play games which support those mechanics, I just also happen to speedrun point and clicks

              correct
              i fully acknowledge that i think you are an irredeemable sperg for speedrunning myst. i can certainly live with that awareness of myself

              if you had any sense youd be learning the route for turbotax and go around speedrunning doing other peoples taxes for them. not only would it be more profitable, and more fun, but it would likely make for a more interesting problem to solve

                Weird. You make a hypothesis, it's proven to be correct and instead of acknowledging your mistake you instead double down on the insults. Have some decorum since you're just turning into a little kid now.
                Apologies if my speedrunning hobby or choice of career personally offends you, I didn't realize the Atari Speccy board would bring out this intense degree of vitriol.
