Released in May of 1998, Unreal tried to be a "Quake killer" with its intense graphics and unnerving AI. Marooned on an unknown planet, you must survive long enough to escape merciless alien warriors and find your way home. Battle your way through lush environments such as temples, spaceships, canyons, and fortresses on your quest for ultimate freedom.

Thanks goes to the runner at http://teamshambler.telefragged.com/unsr.shtml for tricks on Isvkran4, 3&3 and also Na Pali Haven. Also credit to the guy who did the stroll through unreal found at: http://www.archive.org/details/Unreal_Stroll I acquired the tactic from sunspire from what he did. Everything else I came up with on my own. This run is much better the first run I submitted for unreal. Much of this is due to new routes and killing the bosses faster. This time around I paid a lot more attention to my health and there are several times I'm in the Red because no health goes to waste. I'd be happy to answer any questions about my tactics. Times for individual levels listed below.

Continuity:
I redid the sunspire when I heard about the ending trick, I replayed the gateway and napali haven to get everything to match up with what I had done previously. I'm pretty sure everything matches up and is legal.
