Hello to everyone interested in Take No Prisoners either as a speedgame or otherwise. It's one of my personal favourite semi-open world metroidvania games.
I've been playing the game since its release, and I'd be happy to help anyone wanting to run the game get their bearings.
I'd HIGHLY recommend a casual playthrough of the game before running it. Speedrunning the game ruins a lot of the surprises and you can't unlearn the things you need to learn for a speedrun.
It's a very open-ended game with multiple ways of tackling problems, so the very first playthrough is super rewarding!
In case you need help with a regular playthrough, I have an old walkthrough available here: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/198884-take-no-prisoners/faqs/52498
P.S. If you have any suggestions for categories or anything in general, let me know.
Have fun everyone!
After I wrote up my Steam guide I thought "hmm I bet no-one has done a speedrun of this game yet" and now having seen your run how wrong I was! I think I might have a lot of work cut out for me, but it could be a fun wee project :P
Welcome! Any runners and new attempts are welcome! Would love to see people come up with new strategies or just better runs in general :D
Thanks for the guide, too, TNP needs more love!
I'm using a copy I installed from my own CD on a Win98 machine, then I copied the registry entries over to my current Win10 PC where I'm playing the game with the help of DxWnd. I realized it's technically a complex process and I definitely need to write a quick guide on how to set it up.
