I tried again with a printed out map of the bridge...

You just ruined a good part of the experience of first playing the game... :(

It would indeed be an atrocity to play the game like that the first time.
Fear not, these speedy attempts were my 9th/10th/11th playthroughs.
I just can't remember the bridge layout ever.

Do you mean you completed SS1 or SS2 in just over thirteen minutes?
:confused:

However the hell you completed it in that short time, you have to know the game very well. :sweat:

Considering SS2 doesn't have a "Difficulty index 0", it's safe to assume he's referring to SS1.

Completing the game (SS1) in 13 minutes isn't at all difficult if you're playing with a difficulty index of 0. The hardest part is probably battling SHODAN.

Yarr. On difficulty index 0, the monsters stand there and do not attack, all doors spring open at a touch and Cyberspace is a joke.
[SPOILER]First runthrough I wasted a few mins per level grabbing upgraded Pulser versions because I didn't know you are handed v8 on a plate at the start of the SHODAN run. I also got stuck trying to find the buttons in Security to extend the force bridge to avoid the mines. If I was more skilled with jump boots I could do security in under a minute. A printout of the Bridge map would refine the last few minutes...
All together I think SS1 could be finished in under 8 minutes by some D'Arcy-like Shock Prodigy.
And it was Melee only because I didn't want to Save Scum for a Sparq. Do I get my gold wrench?[/SPOILER]

I didn't know if 'Difficulty index 0' might just be slang for 'easiest difficulty level'.
I have only played all the way through SS1 once, so couldn't remember what the difficulty settings looked like.

Not on Cyberspace 0 ;)
On my newest, 9:34 attempt, the only problem was [SPOILER]the force wall just before the pipebomb maze - it kept closing at unfortunate moments.[/SPOILER] If I work out the timing, I might FRAPS the run.
