[Commentary] Knightlore speedrun in 12:58 (Rare Replay)

If you want to watch this run without commentary, you can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrZySIwyRkE

I've been going through some of my older runs that lacked commentary and finally recording commentary, and as a run from 2015 this definitely qualifies. Haha. I didn't have time to go over as much of the route details and whatnot as I wanted because I got caught up in some other stuff, but if you want to read more, I included links at the bottom of the description.

This run was performed using the Rare Replay port as opposed to the original ZX Spectrum version. As far as I can tell from footage of the original, it looks accurate. I initially thought the immense lag was a porting problem, but it runs that way on ZX Spectrum as well. I haven't played the original enough to say that it is fully accurate, but from my brief time with it it seemed comparable.

This was a really fun project to work on, but I have no interest in improving this run. I'll be the first to say that this run CAN be improved, but the execution is not nearly as interesting to me as the routing was.

I wrote an enormous amount about the game mechanics, RNG seeding, etc, for an SDA submission. If you are interested in reading about it, you can check the pastebin below:

I also alluded to the StrategyWiki page a number of times in this commentary, and you can find that page here:
