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

I personally don't count glitch exploting for speedruns.

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

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

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

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

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

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

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.

7 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

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

7 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Ahhhhhh, gotcha.

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.

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

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

7 years ago | Likes 35 Dislikes 0

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

7 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 5

It's still a speed run

7 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

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

7 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!"

7 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.

7 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

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 :)

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

7 years ago | Likes 42 Dislikes 9

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

7 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 7

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

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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

7 years ago | Likes 34 Dislikes 0

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.

7 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

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

7 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.

7 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 2

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

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.

7 years ago | Likes 598 Dislikes 0

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

7 years ago | Likes 1 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 still remember going with my Dad to get the shareware from some guys garage.

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

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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

7 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

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

7 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I also come with a 3.5 in floppy

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

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

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

7 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

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

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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.

7 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.

7 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

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

7 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.

7 years ago | Likes 41 Dislikes 0

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

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

My bad.

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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

7 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

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

7 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.
