I acquired a copy of RE for PC and I must say it is very hilarious. This is because of the CPU speed or something or other, can't quite understand it myself, but I think it pretty much boils down to my computer being too fast for the game. This causes everything to move faster, like the T-Virus was spliced with some cocaine or something. There are so many speedruns of this game that another one would most likely make you all puke (me too :S), but a run of the PC version under the uber fast settings would be highly entertaining.
Also, the PC version is a port of the original, not the director's cut, meaning the music is different (and arguably much better) and the game is truly uncut. By this I mean the director's cut is not uncut. Apparently when the d.c. went through the approval process at Capcom they overlooked the fact there was no new footage in the game. The footage has been restored in the PC version (I found all this info in the PC version review at Gamespot). I can't vouch much for this except that I found an alternate "Barry vaporizes the poor inaugural zombie's head with Dirty Harry handcannon" cutscene. Whether or not it's in the d.c. I don't know and whether or not it's a time saver I don't know. But it's there, it's different, and by jove it put a little jolt into - not to disparge the game - the dead horse of the survival horror genre.
SDA probably wouldn't host a "goofy" RE run, but maybe Archives might do it. Heck, I'm getting way ahead of myself. I already know I made a huge worthless crappy list of games that no one cares about that I should be working on instead of musing about another pointless run, but I'd like to hear what the esteemed Speed Demos denizens have to say on the matter.
Domo, gracias, you get the idea
You folks are great.
