It looks like Myst I has been speedrun to death, but I would like to gauge the interest in speedrunning the other games (Riven, Exile, Revelation, End of Ages, Uru (Ages beyond Myst, To D'ni, Path of the Shell)). I already have a run of Riven (not submitted yet) unofficially clocked at 14:14, and am considering running the rest.
Concerning ending conditions:
Myst any%: get Atrus's page; end when handing it to him (covered extensively)
Myst 100%: get 4 pages for each son, plus Atrus's page; end when handing it to him
realMyst 100%: get Atrus's page, view Riven in viewer on Rime
Riven any%: capture Gehn, save Catherine, end on breaking telescope glass
Myst III: Exile 100%: retrieve Releeshahn book, save Saavedro, end on return to Tomahna (any% don't save Saavedro?)
Myst IV: Revelation any%: end on finishing the dream puzzle (IIRC)
Myst V: EoA any%: end on link to Releeshahn
Uru ABM any%: end on rainy cleft bahro cinematic
Uru To D'ni any%: end on jump into great shaft (IIRC)
Uru POTS any%: end on link to K'veer
I would like to do these runs, but some of them have dubious tactics. In particular, Uru POTS requires that you stand on a pressure plate for ~15 minutes. Would it be possible to skip this in the website version? (Not the verifier version, of course, but it's awfully boring to watch.) I don't think any of the others have problems like this, but I won't know until I do the runs. Should I go ahead?
I'll keep an updated run list here. Once they are all decent, I'll submit them to SDA all at once and you verifiers can take a crack at it.
Riven single segment: 12:20
Riven 2-segment: 10:38 (un-uploaded 3-segment 9:59)
Exile single segment: 22:25 (un-uploaded 22:09)
Revelation single segment: 1:12:40 (un-uploaded 48:01)
End of Ages single segment: 25:07
