Metroid Prime Done Quick

Posted by simoniker on from the power-beam-jump dept.

Xs writes "A story over at Gamerfeed.com states that a gamer from Berkeley, California, Henru Wang, has completed Metroid Prime in 1 hour and 46 minutes! Here's the interview with Mr. Wang from Twin Galaxies." Speed records are a slightly bizarre but rather cool corner of gaming nowadays, it seems.

    What was the ultimate record for Quake done Quick (qDq)? Somthing on the order of 8 minutes, 30 seconds, where you had to get 100% of the items and secret areas on one life.... the original speed gamer's challenge. Also a collosal waste of time, IMO.

      8:30 is a colossal waste of time? Hell, I spend longer than that in the bathroom...

    Something similar happened with Deus Ex as well - the designers never thought that anyone would be inventive enough to come up with the idea of attaching limpet mines to vertical walls in order to climb them.
