I was wondering if Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo would be an acceptable game to put up a speedrun of. Info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putt-Putt_(game_character)
This is a kid's game for PC.

thats a nice improvement 
im pretty sure the copyprotection on this game sucked so the reason i asked about the CD rom is that it may lag more because the CD rom isnt as fast reading as the harddrive, try copy the CD to the harddrive (insert CD, choose to explore it, select all files, right click and choose copy, make a folder somewhere and then paste all the files in that folder)
see if there is less lag when playing like this (from the harddrive and not the CD)

I loved Humongous Entertainment growing up. I never would've thought I'd see someone speed running Putt Putt on here =) If SDA doesn't accept it for being an adventure game, then http://www.adventure-speedruns.com/ would.
Waiting hurts my soul...

That site hasn't been updated in over a year, so I'm not sure if it's still active. SDA doesn't really turn away adventure games anymore. We have Myst now.

Well, there are ways...
Getting video should be fairly simple with a VGA to S-video splitter/converter. Sound can be difficult though... You can splice something up yourself if you're feeling brave enough, or you can find a converter if sound can go through a sound card. If it's the onboard speaker that's used though, it requires some electronics knowledge, but still doable. Once you have everything going out in an RCA format you should just be able to hook it up to a DVD recorder or a capture card.

Wasn't quite sure. I looked it up after posting and didn't see anything against it, but I seemed to remember in the past it was a rule. Good to know =)
