5. Runway DLTK 0:43 - This is the only DLTK world record that beats the LTK world record. It's a really frustrating level to play and the strat relies heavily on two guards running in the direction you want on the same go, which rarely happens. It can take about 10 hours just to reach the end of the level alive with the strat I used and then you have to hit three drone guns and the missile battery as well when there's hardly even time to line up your tank shots.

2. Caverns DLTK 8:54 (got this twice) - This is easily the DLTK level I've spent longest on. The level is not as difficult to complete as people think because once you're past the first room then the rest isn't that hard if you use a cautious strat but it does get very difficult when you're speedrunning and having to take lots of chances. I remember struggling a bit to beat the 00A 9:30 cheat target time back in 1999 so it was great to beat that on the DLTK setting.

1. Train DLTK 29:00 - This was a level I thought would never be done. It's such a difficult level and requires so much practise and concentration because one tiny mistake on the whole level and you're almost certainly dead every time. Also the lack of good hiding places, a few risks you have no choice but to take, random guard positions and behaviour and ammo shortage all add to the difficulty. It took me around 80-85 hours to complete. A more aggressive strat could get about 20 minutes but I don't know if I'd ever want to go for lower.

1. Train DLTK 29:00 - This was a level I thought would never be done. Although it's only a mediocre time because of the cautious strat I used, it's still my best PR because of the difficulty of the level and being the first proven player to complete it makes it more special. It requires so much practise and concentration because one tiny mistake on the whole level and you're almost certainly dead every time. Also the lack of good hiding places, a few places where you have no choice but to take big risks, random guard positions, unpredictable guards, ammo shortage and nerves unlike anything I've experienced on any other level all add to the difficulty. It took me around 80-85 hours to complete. A more aggressive strat could get around 20 minutes but I don't know if I'd ever want to go for lower.

Maybe Cradle DLTK 0:55 is a better time than any of these but it's not one of my favourites because it's a level that is about 98% luck/2% skill.

Cradle DLTK 0:55 is probably my best time but it's not one of my favourites because it's a level that is about 98% luck/2% skill and the run was the luckiest I've ever had on any skill level.
