Anyone fancy a quickie?
What are the shortest games to complete?
I nominate Sooty and Sweep which takes about 5 minutes.

I can do the same with Underwurlde if I exploit the "guardian bug".
...it's simi-cheating of course - but still fun. ;)
My games for the Spectrum: Dingo, The Speccies, The Speccies 2, Vallation, SQIJ.

Can you elaborate on that?
D'oh!
Of course.
Normally the game will force you to go a pretty long and twisty route to get the weapons needed to kill the guardians, but if you go the closest one and get real close to it....this close.
...and wait a while - then if you're lucky the next batch of enemies will bounce you right through the guardian. That way you don't have to go hunting for those special weapons.
If it doesn't work you'll be bounced into the room on the right, but then you just walk up to the guardian again and repeat it until you've been bounced through it.
Then it's just 20-30 screeens to the exit and once you know the route you can do it in 5-10 minutes. Tops. :lol:

I maybe clouded here by the mists of time but couldn't Heavy on the Magick be completed (or maybe it was the first level) in a very small number of moves?
I don't think it takes very long to cycle Death Star Interceptor.
bwahaahahahah :lol:
sush I'm trying to flog one of em at the moment with no success :lol: (ok I say one.. I have 2)
must be from the school of break thru .. hold jump down
There is an impresive video on youtube of Dan Dare being completed in 11min 12 sec which is mega because that game stuffs me propper!

kinda like 'n,w,e, open door, e, s, w, slay elf'
Dunno about that, but Daren put up an animated GIF of it being completed in 19 seconds!

That gif was made from the RZX, so it's legit. The RZX download also contains a 28 second walkthrough: http://www.rzxarchive.co.uk/p.php#pulga
It's called "La Pulga" on the RZX Archive, it's original Spanish name.
With GAC-created adventures you could.
Olli & Lissa, Beach Head 1 & 2, Raid (Over Moscow) and Rambo: First Blood Part 2 can be completed quickly too once you've had a bit of practice at them and know what to do.
I tried in vain to complete Rambo, i always died after i got the prisoner untied in the base. Still a good game though.
Once you've got to grips with it, it's pretty much just run up to the camp, free Colonel Trautman at the prison camp, run up some more until you get to the helicopter, fly back to the prison camp, free the rest of the POWs (run up to the cage with your knife equipped), then back to the helicopter, fly all the way up to the army base, land and it's all over in the space of about 8 mins. :p
There's long been reports that there's a bug in the game (it crashes if you shoot the enemy helicopter?) but I'm pretty sure that it was fine on the Hit Squad re-release I had...either way, I was able to finish it a few times back in the day....haven't played it for a while now though.
The bugged code is also present in the Hit Squad re-release available at WoS.
You can find the technical details here.
That game was stupidly hard. I can still remember the scrollng text at the beginning as well. 'Jack and his mother were poor...' The scars are still there!
