Speedrunning Lvl. 1 in Doom

As an old man, I remember doing shit like this with the tau cannon in HL. Godspeed children, godspeed.

The first level of this version is where you wake up. Or are we calling that a tutorial level?

Buzz kill alert. This is the second level.

Watched the OP and thought 'I don't remember this being the start'. Had to watch it a second time before the graphics hit me and I realised

This reminds me of the super bounce glitch in Ascension and Lockout in Halo 2

oh boy yeah you missed out if you think that's the only 2 superbounces in Halo 2.

I played the crap out of the original doom.... Funny to think the newest version would require over 56,000 floppy disks to install

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I just got Doom. Can you help me unload it from the truck?

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

As long as I get to watch you install the game. Install disk 1 of 56,000.

Don't get me wrong it's neat they find these glitches but I prefer no glitch speedruns.

8 years ago | Likes 35 Dislikes 0

I'd say this is technically not a speedrun, but a glitchrun

8 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 5

It's still a speed run

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I'm with you. I'm impressed by someone burning through a level will skill, not *load game, glitch, end credits* "I win!"

8 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 1

I hear what you're saying, but many glitch runs require as much or sometimes more skill than a standard speed run. They're just shorter.

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

Regular speedruns are players obeying the game. Glitch runs are the game obeying players.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

To each their own. I like stuff that improves speed, or gives you boosts in power, but not OoB-stuff and entire level skips, for example :)

I personally don't count glitch exploting for speedruns.

Second time I have seen this and I still have no clue what just happened.

Speedrunning strategy. They often use glitches and bugs in their favor to get fast times for completing a game. Quite interesting stuff.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

The players model gets put into the wall, and then the game chucks them out of it.

Ahhhhhh, gotcha.

doom was the first game i ever bought with my own money. it was $9 and it came on a 3.5 inch floppy disk.

8 years ago | Likes 598 Dislikes 0

I must say it looks pretty good even now. Those floppies are powerful.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

My recollection is that the shareware version of Doom came on two 3.5" disks..

https://imgur.com/GxkdUPy this is what modern doom would look like on floppy discs

I also come with a 3.5 in floppy

AND, then they had the map editors, and we started playing them LAN style, on custom maps. That shit was awesome!

Yeah yeah old man. Enough of "In my time we did this and that" you´re gonna go all soldier 76 on us

I still remember going with my Dad to get the shareware from some guys garage.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

My cousin also bought it in floppy and asked me to install it. Turns out I didn't know about computers and Format Disk didn't install it.

I had a naughty copy from my dad's mate, it came on several floppys and consumed my life

I had to bank my BBS time for weeks to save up enough to download the 90 minute each disks.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Whoa bbs, i caught the tail end of that era in the early 90s.

It was a lot of fun hosting a BBS. Wish i was a little older and understood the protocols, but def a cool thing to do when you’re 12

Back in the day when copy protection wasn’t even invented.

On Atari STE, I had codes printed on dark sheets of paper (to prevent copies) that I had to type at each time I launched the game.

8 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 0

Sometimes the codes were in the manual. One code each page and the game asked you to type the code of a specific page.

8 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Sure it was. I was using programs to circumvent it back in the 80's with my C64.

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Heck yeah it was. Check your manual on page 38. What is the name under the first picture. Get it wrong and the game closes. The first DRM.

8 years ago | Likes 41 Dislikes 0

Startropics did that by way of a code, found only by dunking a provided page in water.

My bad.

Long before some games for The Amiga 500 had copy protection as well. Copying the disks would simply fail.

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Was that the one that had holes (intentional bad sectors it looked for) bunches in the disk?

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I actually don't know how they pulled it off.

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Those took a few days to crack at the time. Learned a lot though.

This person neither ripped nor tore. At a certain point one must examine what exactly they're getting out of the game.

8 years ago | Likes 42 Dislikes 9

I'm sure he played through, and enjoyed the game at a more normal pace at first. It's not like he started playing like this from day one.

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

He ripped through the sound barrier and tore through the ceiling. Must have had at least 30 speed. 5/7 good game.

8 years ago | Likes 34 Dislikes 0

It's not like this is the first time they played the level is it

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Exactly- its like cheat codes and gameshark (obviously dating myself with one of those) at some point you're not playing the game anymore

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 7

They're having fun, why does that bother you?

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 3

The goal is to rip and tear, until it is done. They did not do this and so they have failed.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 2

I'd say the goal is to have fun,but what do I know
