In Response To: Marathon Done Quick...? (Foozwak)

: Dunno if this is the right place to post this, but, Hamish also runs the
: Vidmaster page, so I thought this was probably the next best place.

: Anyway, is anyone familiar with Quake Done Quick [With a Vengeance]?
: (http://www.planetquake.com/qdq/) It's a series of demos (movies) where
: the goal is to complete the game as fast as possible. Unless one has the
: most violent, utter and complete contempt for that game, one really can't
: help but be very impressed with the demos shown.

: Anyway, Marathon movies have always been about the Vidmaster rules - kill
: everything, try to show all secrets, etc. Finishing quick is a part of it,
: but only after completing the other rules - and killing everything takes
: an awful lot of time, especially with fists.

: I think it might be cool to try a similar - Done Quick approach to Marathon.
: Never mind the enemies, just think of it as a race - a Marathon Marathon
: :)

: Although, thinking about it, I'm not sure if Marathon really suits this
: approach, at least not for some stages. The walk/run speed in Marathon is
: relatively slow, and the weapons and shields needed to do the more
: complicated tricks like grenade/rocket jumping are not found on most
: stages.

: Still...it might be interesting. Thoughts?

There is some quick films on the vidmasters site. I´ve seen them on the tips and tricks section. The Infinity dream levels have been done quickly. Some guy did G4 in less that a minute I think. If i had a rocket luancher has also been done fast. Check the description on the Tricks sectio it usually tells you if the level is a fast one.
