All my submitted runs so far have been in the VGA floppy version; but I'm getting the feeling the EGA version may be optimal, due to the fact it's the version that supports Tandy and DOSBox always runs fastest with Tandy emulation. So the EGA version has faster loading times. (For some reason it also has extra slowdowns with the slime at sewer entry, and on flushing the brain; but I think it's still just a mite faster overall.)
The problem is simply with the barrier of entry in acquiring the EGA floppy version. Basically, you have to either own it from 30+ years ago, or buy it from someone else who does, or download a pirate copy (and the vast majority of pirate copies are CD or VGA floppy too).
What do runners/mods think - should we allow or disallow EGA floppy?
Badly executed sample run.
What happens if I dismiss the closing ceremonies so quickly that they're never visible in the video? Does that invalidate the run since the literal condition for stopping time (closing ceremonies become visible) is never verifiably met, or should I just figure out when the ceremony exit happened and time by that?
