Welcome to the Rules!

This are the rules on which our speedruns are based. If you want to do such a run please be sure you've read this. No cheating is allowed. Game platform is PC. The game language must be english. There are only original versions accepted(no fangames).

1. The Beginning:

The Beginning of the record is the very first moment you do an input. Also cutscene skipping is included. Don't be surprised when you don't see copy protection in some of the runs, this games were sold in this version too. Like Monkey Island, Sam & Max, DOTT and so on.

2. The Ending

The time of the run stops with the last input of the user. Text skipping is included to the time. It's your choice if you record the credits and final cutscene. The final cutscene is not part of the time.

3. Multi Segment:

There are two ways how to do a speedrun. Multi Segment means, its allowed to save after finishing one chapter. You are only allowed to do one savegame during one chapter.
One Chapter -> One Savegame
That means you can play for example chapter one of monkey island as long as you get the
best time and after that you do a savegame and continue with chapter 2. With chapter 2 and the following chapters it works like in chapter 1.

4. Single Segment:

Single Segment means, the game is played in one piece without saving, which is more difficult and more popular to be seen.

5. Emulation software to use:

Older games, like Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, and so on, have problems running on Windows XP. For that it's allowed to use emulation tools like ScummVM or DosBox. The FastForward modes of ScummVM are forbidden, because they are not part of the original
game.

6. Recording Tools, Encoding and Decompressing, Uploading to Filehosting sites:
