"We officially passed final cert on our first try Friday, August 15th," said Broussard. When asked about a possible price point, he noted that it will be "about what you'd expect."

Anyway I'm all over the speed-run Hollywood Holocaust one (may be some minor mistakes in here, years since I've done this):
I used to try and do that as fast as possible back in the day, if I remember right what I used to do was:
- Shoot out the canisters to open the grate while running towards it, drop down the chute.
- Run straight for the ledge, jump up onto it, go across and into the room to get the rocket launcher.
- Jump down out of there while firing a rocket to open the front of the theatre.
- Run up to the projection room, hit the switch and jump out, firing a rocket while in the air to blast open the screen.
- Jump behind the screen, turn and grab the jetpack, do a 180 and fire a rocket while running, killing the enemy and blowing open the window.
- Jump out the window, activate the jetpack in midair and loop up and over the bridge, land and finish the level.
