After 30 years, the eating doors still get me constantly... I don't think I've ever reached the end of this game. Is 1 hour even possible at all?

I sometimes watch ZX Spectrum playthroughs on YouTube. I know they're edited but seeing the games I played for hours being completed in twenty minutes blows my mind!

That's amazing to watch! Most of the speedrunners don't even defeat the enemies 😮
