13:56 Someone dug into the scripts and confirmed that, yes, it's the framerate: forums.mixnmojo.com/topic/200473-speedruns/#comment-2791759 15:23 Changes have been very recently implemented in the official ScummVM daily builds to fix these timing issues. Once these get released officially, runners may no longer have to use fan-made forks to speedrun LucasArts games. 21:30 MilkToast almost exclusively runs Amiga versions because he has an emotional connection with that platform. Amiga versions of games are almost always slower than their DOS counterparts. MilkToast enjoys the routing aspect of speedrunning, so he normally begins by routing a game himself without looking at guides or other runs. Let this be a reminder for speedrunners to not just look at the world record for guidance. 26:40 You may be wondering why Leo moves forwards, even though the layout makes it impossible to move in any direction. It seems that sometimes, if you exit without moving first, the game doesn't always register it as a correct exit, even if that was the correct way to go. This has not been confirmed definitively, however. 26:58 There is one thing I wish I would have pointed out. In the original game, you could save whenever you wanted to. You just had to go through a menu and it took a second or two. I didn't mention it because, as an old-school adventure gamer, this was obvious to me. (That's my fault for not mentioning it.) So, the difference between using save / load strats on original hardware vs. using quicksaves would be a small matter of time per save/load, and not a completely different feature. Some people in the comments have characterized quicksave strats as "cheating." If people have the opinion that it shouldn't be allowed because it wasn't strictly available in the original, that's fine. I don't run the game, so I don't have a stake in it either way, personally. But calling it "cheating" seems like an exaggeration to me. 27:48 When spade started his stream and used save strats for the first time, Leo started his stream as well at the same time to try to beat him to the punch. However, he was not successful in getting a PB. 31:02 Leo's time would have been the saveless world record right after the split, except that he saved ONE time, right before the Carla fight, making his run second in the saves category. 34:41 You might also be wondering if it's possible to manipulate the RNG seed. LeoLitz looked into this in 2019, and it appeared (at that time) that the RNG seed is set by the number of milliseconds between opening ScummVM and loading your game. This is too precise for a human to get reliably. We couldn't confirm this fact in time for the video, however, which is why it's not in there.

@@shinyhappyrem8728 Its common in Europe to play the PAL version of an Amiga game (50fps), but there is a switch on every Amiga which lets you manually change between PAL and NTSC (US-Standard 60FPS). A lot of games back then were developed in europe and optimized for PAL (TSOMI not of course), you still can play those in NTSC, but this will mostly cut off a certain amount of the screen (due to the different resolutions used)and can produce some graphical glitches. Back then my 49m run was on PAL, but my current run is using the NTSC version and its way faster...still its slower then DOS, but there are more disadvantages on the Amiga like no dot skip (you can only speed up the dialog) and other things (also I am just not as good as the other runners). So Yes you are right, but it can be evened out mostly.

If someone want glory and flattery, and positive fame he must say my friend x did it, in any other case he will be a bad guy. Even if one of them is 100% sure that he found it he just cant say it online, because of people expectations at this point. It is strange but people in recent years give "internet glory" to guys who are shy and humble, so if any materialist or realist want "glory" he must fit with expectations and by humble and shy.

I'm so glad FrozenSpade came back. Not even for his later achievements really, mainly just, I totally understand how much of a burnout the leaderboard split would cause. As upsetting as something like that is, it takes a lot of bravery to return and admit "Okay, sorry, it maybe wasn't such a big deal after all. I want to come back to the community regardless." And I feel his return made Spade and everyone else a lot happier too! He certainly seems like such a lovely guy, and I'm just happy that he made the decision to come back to his friends after all.

I'm happy you thought so. Spade is a great guy, and was really kind during our conversations. As a small point of clarification, I probably should have made this clearer, but Spade didn't leave the community entirely. He was still running other Lucasarts games, just not Secret of Monkey Island. He is and always has been a very valuable member of the adventure game speedrunning scene.

@@OneShortEye Fate of Atlantis is gorgeous. Along with the Monkeys, it's one of my all-timers. Classic Lucas is just magical. I've never looked into running it, but I imagine there's also some interesting nitty-gritty there, what with the three different playstyle options (it looked like the runners you showed were playing the fighting path, which probably isn't surprising) and potentially a bit of safe-cracking action with the stone wheel code system that opens the various tombs. Also, as I said, it's just beautiful in places such as the endgame sequence. TL;DR I'd watch the heck out of any video you might make on it.

One of my first ever video games and still one of my favorites to this day! Even beyond the speedrunning context, it was great learning all the little quirks the game had such as Guybrush's speedup when you skip the logo at the right time and the multi-responses against Carla. Speedrunning adventure games definitely seem like a mundane experience on the surface, but you really do gain more appreciation behind the effort and skills required with the game's intricacies, alongside overcoming the dreaded RNG. Fantastic video, always happy to see how you can put a spotlight to these point & click classics.

I played this game when it came out in 1990. You can't really imagine the feeling of first playing it today. It was a gigantic game that was even mentioned in the news and in reports on TV, a real gamechanger in terms of graphics, gameplay, everything. Before that, Lucasfilm had Zak McKracken and Indy III, and Sierra had rather shitty looking run and type games, but Monkey really changed the whole concept of what a gane could be. I still occasionally play it and it takes me down the road of nostalgia like no other game.

For example, the US Open just ended. You could argue that people using metal clubs to hit small balls in small holes is equally "worthless." It doesn't produce anything of value. The golfers are doing their best, making it their careers, in fact, just to hit the ball in fewer strokes than "the next guy." If you don't enjoy golf either, then the point is that you can frame anything as meaningless if you look at it from a certain perspective.

@@OneShortEye I find competition the most important thing to life actually. You used the US open as an example and it’s a good one. I don’t find value in the competitive nature of golf because it doesn’t produce anything. Now someone could say the same about football but I would argue that professional football players create a culture for kids to follow. The kids competing is what I find value in. So to expand further, if kids didn’t play football and only adults did; I would find no value in it. The act I’m looking to see if kids competing using this sport as a method to learn skills hard found elsewhere. Golf has no skills worth learning for Everyman. Hopefully that helps explain my position. Now if I may ask a question or few. What do you find value in within speed running? Is it the glitch/breaking of mechanics to produce faster times? Is it the player skill needed to preform a speed run? If it’s anything like this.. why do you find that valuable? If you had children would you push them into speed running the same way I would push my son into football and teach him to avoid skateboarding because of the pitfalls I might see within that hobby?

These days, I don't tend to analyze too much about WHY I enjoy something. But if I had to pin something down, I'm a curious person. I enjoy seeing how a game can be broken. It takes the normal gaming experience and transforms it. I like understanding how something functions and seeing how far you can push things. There's also the community aspect of speedrunning. I've met some incredibly nice people who share my love of these games, and working towards a common goal with them is exciting. I would not "push" my children into speedrunning, however. It's a hobby. I enjoy it. But it's not for everyone. I think children can learn skills and life lessons in many ways, and the "best" activity depends on the child.

I love this, but I wanted to say that I especially appreciate your top five list. Specifically, the Grog Run. See, while I don't have the patience for speedrunning things myself, I've given myself an extra "goal" every time I play the game to use as few grog transfers as I can. So it's neat to learn the actual minimum!

Monkey Island is the best game ever™️. It's _amazing_ that the game would be optimized as much as it has. Unfortunately, by speedrunning it you miss out on the game's charm and humor, which are what made it great in the first place. It's amazing what these runners managed to accomplish, but I think adventure game speedruns, especially of games I hadn't played myself, wouldn't really be that fun to watch, although I'm sure it's a thrill for the runners. Also, this video documentary was brilliantly put together and edited; you earned a sub, and I'm sure many more will be coming your way. With _Ron Gilbert's Return to Monkey Island_ just announced and releasing this year the timing couldn't be better.
