Hello guys,
as you can probably guess, i am fairly new to speeddemosarchive, although i've regularly visited the site for 3 years, enjoying new speedruns, especially baldur's gate and such.
Now, after watching a guy on youtube playing stonekeep and commenting it as he plays, i have wondered whether this 1995 game can be speedrun.
after some hassle with dosbox i finally got the answer: YES, INDEED. I was very surprised actually, considering the time i needed to finish it back in 98 or so.
So I decided, why not try to share this experience
I read, the first thing to do here is to ask if people are interested at all, and that is why I am posting at the moment
Besides that, I am not sure whether dosbox is condidered an emulator, thus disallowing to submit anything, which would be a pity, since I have not found any other way to play this classic on modern XP.
To give some details about the game and the possible speedrun:
-- watch youtube user Kikoskia playing to see stonekeep's style
-- I have not recorded anything, though I got the needed tools, and know that its possible
-- I plan to get a secret = overpowered weapon early in the game, if that is "illegal", damn, i might try to run without it :-/
-- Will be segmented, i plan to save at the beginning of a new level, (MAYBE before some tough boss fights).
Tell me if some are interested, would be a nice challenge for me
PS: I should register asap
