The Town With No Name (1992, PC) by On-Line Entertainment

Current Any% Leaderboard (speedrun.com)

My name’s not Shane, kid.

Certainly one of the easiest (and dumbest) any% speedruns this side of Crazybus, The Town With No Name is a silly, humorous, and ridiculous comedy game disguised as a serious attempt at a Spaghetti Western...

Hydlide (1989, NES) by FCI

Current NES Leaderboard (Any%)

“This game… is ******* Hydliiiiide” -Toad22484

This is a game that will infuriate you, frustrate you, and make you turn it off so quickly that your head will spin.  You’ll curse the 20 second loop of music that NEVER stops and you can NOT turn it off...

Current Any% Leaderboard (speedrun.com)

I remember accidentally renting this as a kid. Don’t ask me how I managed to do that. I don’t remember. Perhaps it was all they had. Maybe we were just kids and thought “hehehehe let’s play a game where you play as a dork”...

Ninja Baseball Bat Man (1993, Arcade) by Irem

Current 4P Co-op Leaderboard (speedrun.com)

This was a game I had no idea how I was going to run. I suppose MAME was the option here (and is currently the go-to if any other Arcade games in the Trials come up and I don’t have access to a machine), but then SGDQ 2019 happened...
