Hello all!

I will be running the C64 any% Secrets Allowed category for RGLtv's Jankuary! https://horaro.org/jank25/schedule

https://www.twitch.tv/retrogaminglivetv

I have no idea if this is the first EVER appearance of FQ in a marathon but I'm utterly delighted and I'd love to see any of you there cheering along.

Never played the game, would love a guide that explores weapons pros/cons, general strategy, etc!

Played the game as a kid, so quite familiar with it, but would love a tuto that expands on routing options, safeties, potential hazards/solves etc :)

Never played the game before but very interested in learning it! Would love a guide/tuto, cliff notes on hazards/solutions, anything useful for a newcomer.

Ooh good question! The Amiga version, I have never looked at, might be worth asking Amiga communities for their expertise as it's above my paygrade.

How awesome you have notes! You could post them in the forum, or a pastebin you could link to, whatever's least work for you. Any cliff thoughts you have/remember on movement, or stuff that a new runner should pay more attention to, would be great.

Wondering if you could make a brief tutorial for the run?

Now that someone has finally given me a mod job to do, I've updated timing rules to what seems most sensible, and retimed the existing run.

Time starts on fadeout of title screen. Time ends when the baby counter shows x00 in the music stage.

I'd love to hear any thoughts/feedback on this in case it can be improved.

Secondly, I wondered does anyone have interest in a money category that involves actually playing skilfully in the bonus stages. If you successfully glitch the level one for baby grabs at the tube, and prevent damage, with perfect play it is possible to reach $20,000 before game end. However, that is inconsistent. $15,000 might then be a fairer goal.

Thoughts welcome!

O cronômetro do jogo conta frações de segundo dos pontos de verificação duas vezes. Nós os tiramos manualmente depois que o tempo da corrida aparece para obter o tempo correto :)

I noticed from playing that the hostage count ticks down really quickly on a first pass and yet we've been waiting at the helipad at the end of levels. Checking this out, it turns out as soon as you despawn the hostages on screen, they'll count immediately and you can advance slightly faster.

With that in mind, I think it makes sense to change the run end point. I'd suggest the frame hostage remaining count reaches 0 as an unambiguous point. Thoughts welcome!
