Does anyone have experience with speed gaming?
Speed gaming is a peculiar sport about completing games as fast as possible.
Personally I have neither time nor patience to practice these speedy completions, but I do enjoy watching others do it.
Completing Baldur's Gate in about 30 minutes.
Fallout 1 in less than ten minutes.
Doom 2 (nightmare skill) within half an hour.
Morrowind, the Elder Scrolls III in seven and a half minute (!)
Don't believe me??

What do you think? - Not about the players but about the replays?

Man's fault lies in his propensity towards willingly doing what feels good and his procrastinating reluctance to doing what is immediately uncomfortable but good.

This one baffled me: Diablo (0:53:13)
That is a great list. Everytime I find a game that I played I was shocked to see the time. But then again, I'm more into the "lengthy and going for perfect" kind of gaming.

I've been trying this 'speed gaming' in only one game during my life: the C64-classic Last Ninja 2. I cannot remember my all-time record for it, but I think it was between 17 minutes and 18 minutes. Each time I tried, however, I noticed something I could've done better / without mistake, so I believe the best possible time could be approximately 90-120 seconds or so better than mine... quite a big difference, waiting for O'Rock-san to post in this thread and thrash my 'fast time'. ^^;
edit: Oh, to not go totally side of the topic, I took a look at the PC list as well... the most impressive ones were the ones from Doom and Diablo I must admit, those being the games I've been tinkering most with. 20 minutes? Smooth.

thread moved to offline gaming. Wasn't sure which one to place it in but I think this is better then the market place for this type of topic 
I think offline gaming is a genral dicussion board isn't it? where chat goes on about anything not covered in the other games threads Any way if Parvin disagrees it can always be moved back or to where it is more suited
