Speedrun, speedran, speedrun; speedrunning, are there any missing? Basically, just conjugate the run of it, wouldn't you?

Also Monopoly, E.T., Clue. Off the top of my head.

THPS 1
THPS 2
THPS 3
GTA Chinatown wars
Donkey Kong for NES
Morrowind

http://speeddemosarchive.com/gamelist/FullListt.html - Runs on this site sorted by time. 73 games under 5 minutes, and a few that are just over 5.

As for the tenses of speedrun, your guess is as good as mine. I almost want to say it's a noun because I usually hear it like "I want to do a speedrun of X" but I've heard people use it as a verb with "I'm going to speedrun game X next.", but whenever people talk in the past tense I've seen it as a noun.

My Temple of Elemental Evil run is sub-5m.

Baldur's Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal probably doesn't count, considering how agressively segmented it is ;3

Do boss rush modes count? A lot of handheld castlevania boss rushes are sub 5 minutes ez.
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance maxim mode is about a minute long.
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon would probably be sub 5 minutes if you take a break during the LEVEL UP... LEVEL UP... after Dracula. (dubious)
