PressureCooker2600 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Anyone got any videos of a Superman speed run? According to TG, Todd Rogers is the fastest with around 46 seconds. On Difficulty B, with no pausing, etc. That blows my mind, I can barely do that in 5 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be doing something wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophero Sly Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 No video, but you can find some helpful tips in the old HSC thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureCooker2600 Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 Last time I played it, I didn't keep track of the time so I was just guess-tamating the time it took me. Maybe Yancey will make a video.....cause I think he's on there with a minute and 10 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the 5th ghost Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 My personal best is 49 seconds. But all I got on tape was a 51 second run which was sent to Twin Galaxies. All things have to fall perfectly into place around the jail screen, and you have to have Superman-type relexes to dodge the kryptonite when it does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcann Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 It's been almost 40 years, so I can't remember the exact time, but every once in a while, there was an almost perfect setup of criminal/bridge placement that allowed me to finish it in less than 30 seconds. It was definitely somewhere between 19-24 seconds. My dad took a polaroid of it to show the guys at his work, as they didn't believe it. It's been WAY too long for me to remember all the moves, but I could tell each time I was going to do it based off of the first criminal I saw. It seems like the right scenario occured every 15-20 attempts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reklen Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I remember getting really good at Haunted House. When I went to play the hardest level, I think level nine, I hit the button to light the match, and next to me was the complete urn, usually it was apart in three different places. I thought I was going to have a hard attack, beat the hardest level in one second, one match. Probably never played it again, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanMan75 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 10 seconds is my record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreeB Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I usually do it in 50 seconds, a minute at the least. I got good at it from years of playing Atari on sick days: Superman was always my go-to game, because I would make up stories about Superman saving people, once I grew tired of the "broken bridge" plot. I used to write them down on my Apple II. I uploaded them to a USB in the Windows 95 era and have had them ever since. The only other games I would do this with are Tunnel Runner and Cosmic Ark. Maybe Fantastic Voyage, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
