MS1 is not about 24/7, it's about trying stuff, shooting everywhere and you will figure it out eventually. Some things are not easy though, like waiting the 30 seconds at the beginning of the 4th level to get the 3 extra POWs. I also noticed the guy missed at least 1 prisoner in mission 3, because he only got 9 therefore no "You're great" but I am pretty sure you can get at least 10 POWs there.

That is only discovered by trying stuff. Or somebody went to pick up something to another room and forgot to pause, returned and found the POWs there. Or something like that. Or the same way somebody found about the kneeling in the corner to bring the tornado that transports you on Castlevania 2...the developer told game pro, lol.

I thought it was pretty odd that he skipped over the points tally at the end of every mission. The number of POWs in each mission is pretty well known at this point and honestly, much easier to just describe their location with a couple screenshots instead of some dumb tool-assisted speed run video.

By actually playing the games instead of staring at them on a shelf.

If you take your time during the level 3 boss, 5 POWs in total will drop down out of the trees. But since it's a speed run, he didn't wait for them.

this is awesome! reminds me of the old arcade days when the youngins would the older players and just be enamored by the entire game just from watching.
