Speed Runs
Speed running (trying to complete a videogame in the fastest time possible) is almost as old as gaming itself. At least, it's almost as old as games that have a definite end point or staging points, since speedrunning a game with infinitely repeating levels is Sisyphean.

Speed run of Super Mario Bros. done on April 10 2007. Available in five versions: low/normal quality DivX, and normal/high/low quality H.264 MPEG-4. Author's comments: I believe that this may be a perfect time by Speeddemosarchive 's timing of Super Mario Bros. 1. First off, I'd like to thank my brother for helping me figure out a faster way of beating the game. If it weren't for him, a run like this probably wouldn't have been seen for a long while. I also want to thank those who encouraged me...

Speed run of Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza on 'Die Harder' difficulty in 30 segments completed on June 12 2005. Available in low, normal, and high quality. Author's comments: A huge thanks to Radix for being patient, tolerant, and very helpful and for accepting the run. Another huge thanks to Nate for his FAQ and for capturing segment 16: In the Vents. And on that note... HI! :) This is my very first speed run and I'm proud of how it turned out. I think you'll be able to tell this is my first time...

Speed run of Super Paper Mario in 45 segments, completed on July 14 2007. Available in six versions: low/normal quality DivX, and normal/high/insane/low quality H.264 MPEG-4. Author's comments: First of all, thanks to: * Radix, for hosting the run. * nate, for encoding the run. * Amazing Ampharos, who provided insightful advice and helped me turn my original sloppy first few segments into something worthy of a real speedrun. * Mr_Potter, Satoryu, tkrausse, and forte_x, who also pointed out...

Speed run of Super Mario Bros. done on October 9 2004. Available in normal and high quality. Author's comments: This is the cleanest, best looking SMB run I've done, although some levels can be finished slightly faster with better tactics so I estimate that I could do better by five to seven tenths overall. Easily the best part is in 8-3 with the Hammer Bros (I was very surprised I didn't die). Enjoy :)

Speed run of Fire Emblem for GBA in 35 segments completed on December 2 2005. Available in three versions: low, normal and high quality. Author's comments: Hey. I started this run on August 13th, and didn't finish it until December 2nd. That's insane! As far as I know, this delay was my fault. First of all, I should thank everyone who wanted to see this run and helped contribute ideas. Admitted, I don't remember many (if any) new ideas, but even having someone to discuss my ideas with was...

Speed run of Final Fantasy VII in 85 segments, completed on June 4 2007. Available in four versions: low/normal quality DivX, and normal/low quality H.264 MPEG-4. Author's comments: And it's finally done. This is my first speed run ever, and probably the last one for awhile. I've been working on this project for over a year, and a lot has happened. I've seen the end of two years of college, got married, moved into my first apartment, rebuilt my computer, had surgery on both feet...

Speed run of Half-Life on hard mode in 21 segments, completed on June 21 2004. Available as Divx 640x480 or 320x240 and original recordings as .dem files, which require version 1.1.2.0 of Half-Life to play. Time includes a half second penalty for each demo recording beyond the first, because the engine skips a little bit on each load, and to discourage large amounts of demos. Author's comments: First off, I have to give credit to -think.circle- and Dopefish because I would never have done a...

Speed run of Super Mario 64 collecting all 120 stars, done on December 18 2004. Available in low and normal quality. Note: the runner paused twice for several minutes, but the majority of these times were snipped from the file and didn't count for the time. Author's comments: This is a full 120-star run of the game. This run is far from perfect, and is even very sloppy at times, but it still breaks the 3 hour mark by a couple minutes. I first started practicing this run with almost no planning,...

Speed run of Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb, done in 58 segments across 10 files plus ending, completed on March 13 2006. Available in four qualities: low/normal/high/insane quality DivX. Author's comments: Preface: As I started this speedrun, ignorant of the pains and horrors to come, I wrote it with the intent that you could read what I did and why, while making brief jokes to break up what would be a straightforward and boring comments file. I was wrong. After a few months, and only a...

Speed run of Chrono Trigger in 34 segments completed on October 26 2005. Timing note: uses game timer at last seen moment in final part plus remaining real time until final damage on Lavos. Author's comments: This is by far my most polished run -- over a month in the making and numerous test runs and multiple strategies attempted, resulting in a final run that dips below the five hour mark. What will impress most people, I predict, will be the boss fights. Most of the bosses I take on are at...

DESCRIPTION
Speed running (trying to complete a videogame in the fastest time possible) is almost as old as gaming itself. At least, it's almost as old as games that have a definite end point or staging points, since speedrunning a game with infinitely repeating levels is Sisyphean.
This collection hosts downloadable movie files documenting the swiftest possible way to complete videogames such as Quake, Metroid, Zelda and many others. The videos come from Speed Demos Archive, TASvideos, and other sources.
Unless specifically noted as an 'emulated' run, all speed runs are done on the original game hardware, using only the normal save points available to a player.
