Recorded with pg-raw.wad (it plays back with both pg-raw and pg-rawx I believe)
Comments: I thought I'd try recording a TAS movie for Perdition's Gate, but, after going through some of the later levels with monsters and iddqd, I decided it wouldn't be a very interesting movie to make or to watch, since there are so many levels in which monsters block most or all of your path, and there doesn't seem to be any way around killing the monsters. Still, I really liked the way this first level turned out; I'd say it's one of the best single-level TAS speed demos I've made. This is the first time I tried to build smooth turns whenever I am able to, and, while it makes no difference in the time, I like the way it looks a lot more. Also, the blue key room features a glide that I managed to get almost without stopping; on my way back, I go between the crate and wall. Still, I couldn't avoid slowing down in the blue key room and final hallway because there wasn't much space to move around. However, I doubt 17 is possible, since there's not much room for improvement.
