I know right! This guy is a real legend! We use to spend the whole evening trying to beat this game. This guy does it in under 4 minutes. Guess kids like us paved the way back in the 80's and 90's for the speed runners of today. We didn't have internet and only a few books to show us some tricks. Most of this stuff was learned over decades of time, and refined down to what we see today. Amazing stuff. Sure is awesome to see all this stuff we grew up with as kids being refined and replayed in this fashion.

Arcus, just came across your channel, LOVE the content. I'm curious on the setup you have there. Do you just use OBS for the screen setup? What is the 'clunk' and where do you get the little screen for the timing stuff? I love playing NES games (many recordings over on my gaming channel from when I recorded myself playing by using the VCR to record from the TV, fun times back in the 80s. I'd consider myself pretty good at most games but I don't know how good I would do at speed runs, but might be fun to try.
