I'm already there. 3 of the levels were completed by the time you got here. Gotta keep up, or you'll eat my dust. It seems to me that the sound is out-of-sync with the FMVs, probably no more than 2 or 3 seconds behind.

"Atlantean Stronghold" (Level 3) has been completed: Current total time is now 3 hours, 8 minutes, 38 seconds.

In terms of what got a jolt out of me the first time around: TR-1: "Atlantis" (Eggs suddenly hatching mutants will do it). TR-1a(UB): Tie between "Atlantean Stronghold" and "The Hive" (for similar reasons). TR-2: The dragon right at the end. TR-2a(GM): Nightmare in Vegas TR-3: Aldwitch Station (the sudden appearance of an oncoming train is a very good candidate). TR-3a(LA): A tie between "Shakespeare Cliff" and "It's a Madhouse". TR-4(LR): The Mastabas TR-5(CHR): The Labyrynth (everyone seems to agree that the Demon Babies are something to be avoided). TR-6: The Sanitarium and The Maximum Containment Area (you try dealing with wierdos and monstrosities suddenly appearing in "hug-me" jackets. TR-7: England in Cornwall (those two giant dragon-like creatures did me no favors).

"Temple of the Cat" (Level 2) has been completed: Current total time is now 2 hours, 14 minutes, 58 seconds.

Completed "Return to Egypt" (Level 1): Current total time: 53 minutes, 46 seconds.

It's "brood". I was listening a little more carefully that time.

I suspected as much. BTW, I downloaded that sucker and finished it in 7 hours, 38 minutes, 46 seconds. I do have the original disk, however, so I'll tackle that next. Probably the thing to do while waiting for the latest TR to come out. However, I haven't heard anyone respond to my All-TR challenge yet.

Waitaminute...why does that look like a remake with the TR-4 engine?

Assuming that it's based on the old TR-1 (and they definitely keep telling us this), you only THINK that they're mummies. Remember that, later on, we learned that they were something else altogether...and definitely not homo sapiens.

Believe me, I'm not happy about that. First they tell me it's in May, and now they tell me it's in June? I don't know what y'all call it where you are, but where I'm from, it smells like either fraud or false advertising.

"City of Khamoon" (Level 10) has been completed: Total time is now 4 hours, 45 minutes, 38 seconds. EDIT: "Obelisk of Khamoon" (Level 11) has been completed: Total time is now 5 hours, 29 minutes, 43 seconds. EDIT-2: BTW, MsCroft, I prefer to go in order of the way they came out. TR-1A ("Unfinished Business") would be next. EDIT-3: "Sanctuary of the Scion" (Level 12) has been completed: Total time is now 6 hours, 13 minutes, 0 seconds. EDIT-4: "Natla's Mines" (Level 13) has been completed: Total time is now 6 hours, 55 minutes, 35 seconds. EDIT-5: "Atlantis" (Level 14) has been completed: Total time is now 7 hours, 43 minutes, 22 seconds. EDIT-6: "The Great Pyramid" (Level 15) has been completed, bringing TR-1 to a successful conclusion: Final total time: 8 hours, 8 minutes, 48 seconds. A new record! This reduces the overall total time for all episodes to 5 days, 16 hours, 47 minutes, 56 seconds.

Only because I've been doing this for a while (since 1997). "The Cistern" (Level 8) has been completed: Total time is now 3 hours, 41 minutes, 20 seconds. EDIT: "Tomb of Tihocan" (Level 9) has been completed: Total time is now 4 hours, 15 minutes, 31 seconds.

"Tomb of Qualopec" (Level 4) completed: Total time is now 1 hour, 11 minutes, 54 seconds. EDIT: "St. Francis' Folly" (Level 5) completed: Total time is now 1 hour, 48 minutes, 39 seconds. EDIT-2: "Colluseum" (Level 6) completed: Total time is now 2 hours, 17 minutes, 39 seconds. EDIT-3: "Palace Midas" (Level 7) completed: Total time is now 3 hours, 3 minutes, 47 seconds.

"City of Vilcabamba" (Level 2) completed. That brings the total time to 33 minutes, 33 seconds. EDIT: Completed "Lost Valley" (Level 3). No Kills: and All Kills: Total Time: With no kills, 47 minutes, 19 seconds; with all kills, 57 minutes, 53 seconds.

Cool. I just finished the TR-1 remake. Took me 12 hours, 44 minutes and 12 seconds of game time, about two hours better than my previous time. Guess I'd better dig up the original. Here's the bigger challenge, though: Go through every TR ever made and total up your time, all kills and all secrets. I currently stand at 5 days, 20 hours, 41 minutes and 28 seconds of game time. Yes, I said "game time", not real time. That would probably take a few weeks. EDIT: Completed "Caves" (Level 1) in 11 minutes, 35 seconds. I'll post a pic as soon as Imageshack registers me. EDIT-2: Quick test. Okay, so it's a thumbnail.

I'm playing the third-party remake w/TR-4 engine a second time. Already about to start the next-to-last level. This thing's added a couple of hours already to my best overall time on the first time around. Waiting to see how I improve. If there's room, can I join y'all (if someone explains how this works, that is)?

Were those trailers from a console? I saw an indication of a "checkpoint". I hope I don't encounter those on the PC version. I hated not being able to save anywhere at any time (like the older ones).

As I recall, it was in a bun.

I hope to God it's an exact duplicate (with, of course, the new engine and all).

Good thing it said "Revised". It's got the TR-1 feel, but it's nowhere near an exact duplicate. Ah, well.... ...trying it out now, though. Kinda stuck in one spot at the "Caves", figuring out how to open a gate at the other end of a trap that involves a sort of "rolling pin" object. Email hints if you've got 'em.
