OKAY EVERYONE TODAY I’M SPEEDRUNNING ATOMIC THE LAB RAT!!

I SPENT ALL NIGHT PRACTICING SPEEDRUN TECHS SO I’M SURE TO GET A WORLD RECORD!

ALRIGHT LETS GET THIS BOOTED UP, BY THE WAY I’M USING A DIGITAL PORT FROM THE JOTACADE WEBSITE. CHECK IT OUT IF YOU WANT, I’LL GET MOD CAT TO PIN A LINK IN THE CHAT!!

USING MENU SKIP TO GET STRAIGHT INTO LEVEL ONE OBVIOUSLY.

NOW YOU MIGHT THINK ATOMIC IS JUST ANOTHER SONIC RIPOFF, BUT IT’S ACTUALLY PRETTY UNIQUE COMPARED TO OTHER SONIC-LIKE PLATFORMERS OF ITS TIME! THE LIGHTING POLE MECHANIC AND AESTHETICS ALONE HADN’T BEEN SEEN BEFORE IN GAMES LIKE THIS!!

ANYWAY THAT’S LAB ONE DONE WITH A FAIR BIT OF TIME TO SPARE, NOW ONTO OUR FIRST BOSS FIGHT!
