This is a run of Amazing Spider-Man for the DOS. It uses a glitch to complete the game very quick.
Emulator used - JPC-rr 11.2
Heavy glitch abuse
Genre: Platform
Genre: Action
Stuff to know
Jumping is faster then walking
In order to the glitch, Spidey must be standing and not crawling
How to do the glitch
Make your way to the foyer
Climb up on to the helicopter
When the helicopter reaches the bottom, get off.
If you are at Mysterio's End, climb back up on to the helicopter.
When the helicopter has reached its peak, jump to the left.
Hold spacebar and up+left to shoot a web. This will carry to the left easier.
If done correctly, spidey will be standing up in the wall. If he is crouching, crawl out and try again.
Press up to fall down through the wall, then pull yourself onto the platform. Make sure you go on to the platform on the bottom (spidey should be upside down)
Stand up, walk to the left, stand on the button. The bad guy will fall and the game is complete.
Closing Comments
Thanks to Vampier for linking to the glitched video on the forums, and revertebrae on YouTube for a glitch demonstration which can be found here. I hope you like this short, glitchy run!
DarkKobold: Claimed, to give me an excuse to install JPC-rr on my new compy.

I remember playing this game on C64 like 20 years ago. I was rubbish at it, and never got to the end... if only I'd known that all I had to do was web-jump off the screen into the wall! Yes vote, of course.
Oh, play it cool. Play it cool. Here come the space cops.
There are two shorter submissions, but neither got accepted:
* ais523's NetHack "fastest death" in 69 frames
* Alden's Minesweeper in 28 frames
In fact, both of these were so short, they were encoded as animated images!
The Minesweeper image appears to have been deleted.
Does anyone have a copy?

"IIRC" this is encoded at 50 fps and it's an animated png which some browsers choke on. But it's the one I can find.
If someone who's not as retarded as I am can update my submission text I would appreciate it; I can't seem to edit it for some reason.
On topic, Yes vote.
