If you're a fan of old Macintosh games, you may be familiar with Glider and it's much more well known sequel, Glider Pro. Each version has it's adherents, but because Glider Pro is not native to any version of Windows I decided to stick with it's parent game.

The gameplay revolves around making through a series of rooms, often with branching paths, while avoiding contact with the floors, furniture, and the endless array of respawning enemies that will kill you instantly. Vents give you varying altitude, fans push you vertically, and candles sometimes can be used for lift as well. I picked what I believe to be the fastest possible route, using some tricks with the battery powerup to skip over certain puzzles and a hidden warp inside of the basement. Some of the later rooms can be extremely difficult without memorizing the required movement strategies ahead of time, A well polished speedrun will be coming along eventually (once those obnoxious paper airplanes stop killing me).

The game is freeware now, you can download it at http://homepage.mac.com/calhoun/Downloads.html .
