Author's comments and explanations:
Recorded with FCE Ultra 0.98.15

-No warps/passwords

-No program error abuse

-Takes no hits/damage

-The aim of the movie is to be entertaining. It's not an attempt do to a speed run. It is however an improvement over the now existing Talespin run with 6 sec (keeping in mind I also play 1 bonus stage for about 30 sec).

-Talespin is a shoot 'em up game featuring Baloo the bear from Disney's 'The Jungle Book' in a high flying, dare devil race to save his company from takeover by the evil who-body.

-I enjoyed this project, I hope I can find the endurance to do another game. I hope you'll enjoy it as well.


NesVideoAgent: Hi! I am a robot. I took a few screenshots of this movie and placed them here. Oh! I also corrected the ROM name. http://media.tasvideos.org/autosnaps/1811_1.png http://media.tasvideos.org/autosnaps/1811_2.png http://media.tasvideos.org/autosnaps/1811_3.png http://media.tasvideos.org/autosnaps/1811_4.png http://media.tasvideos.org/autosnaps/1811_5.png http://media.tasvideos.org/autosnaps/1811_6.png http://media.tasvideos.org/autosnaps/1811_7.png http://media.tasvideos.org/autosnaps/1811_8.png http://media.tasvideos.org/autosnaps/1811_9.png http://media.tasvideos.org/autosnaps/1811_10.png http://media.tasvideos.org/autosnaps/1811_11.png http://media.tasvideos.org/autosnaps/1811_12.png http://media.tasvideos.org/autosnaps/1811_13.png http://media.tasvideos.org/autosnaps/1811_14.png http://media.tasvideos.org/autosnaps/1811_15.png http://media.tasvideos.org/autosnaps/1811_16.png http://media.tasvideos.org/autosnaps/1811_17.png http://media.tasvideos.org/autosnaps/1811_18.png http://media.tasvideos.org/autosnaps/1811_19.png http://media.tasvideos.org/autosnaps/1811_20.png

Truncated: Hello Thorning, and welcome.

Most of what adelikat said when he judged the previous movie for this game still applies: Typically autoscrollers make poor TAS choices. The ones that are good usually present something interesting/unexpected or are at least fast paced and very difficult. Refer to the guidelines for both tips on game choice and ways to improve your runs.

Like the previous run, this will be rejected because not a lot of interesting stuff happens. I hope you will continue your TASing efforts with a game better suited for TASing.
