| Ghosts 'n Goblins (1986) begins with a normal scene: a half-naked knight is on a date in a graveyard with a princess. Suddenly, a demon appears and abducts the princess! The knight quickly suits up and makes rapid progres (sic) through the demon world in an attempt to rescue his royal girlfriend. Arc is a veteran when it comes to making TASes of Ghosts 'n Goblins. This TAS is his ninth version, and it is 15.083 seconds faster than the previous version by Guanobowl. There is a vast amount of luck manipulation throughout the game, and there are multiple instances of the rare 'boost from enemy damage' trick. Note: The previous movie ran through the game twice (after the first completion, the game does not show the real ending). This movie only runs through once, hence the much shorter overall time. The actual first-quest time difference is 15.083 seconds. In Japanese, this game is known as 魔界村 (Makaimura or "Demon World Village"). | ||

Karnov is one of those games whose fame defies my logic― Bisqwit The game is similar to Ghosts'n Goblins. Both look a little badly programmed. This is an improved version by another minute. We recommend reading the author's comments… There is a subtle allusion to Dance Dance Karnov on stage 6. | ||

| Maniac Mansion (1990) is a unique game that has weird humor and crazy music. It features cutscenes, multiple ways to win, useless items (like Chuck the Plant), and microwavable hamsters. In the storyline, Dave and two of his friends infiltrate the Edison family's mansion in order to rescue Dave's girlfriend. In order to save her, the teens must get access to the inner lab, deal with Purple Tentacle, shut down the ZOM-B-MATIC, and defeat the evil Meteor. This movie—Arc's eighth TAS of Maniac Mansion—is about 46 seconds faster than the previous attempt. The author's comments for the submission help to explain the multitude of tricks and glitches used. | ||

From the author's comments:
This movie attempts to complete Metroid as fast as possible without fighting either one of the minibosses. I use the door glitch twice and Up+A once. I collect the Maru Mari, 30 Missiles, and Ice Beam (no Bombs.)The older playthrough by the same author doesn't completely avoid the minibosses. | ||

| In this game, two jovial brightly-colored soliders infiltrate enemy forces. Everyone here runs around menacingly, and bullets are a bit slower than a housecat. This movie is about a 4 second improvement to the previous version. Note: The name of this game is Rush’n Attack. The 'n does not stand alone as a contraction of and, unlike Ghosts ’n Goblins. Given the theme of the game, the pun on “Russian Attack” is quite obvious. | ||

The movie is an amazing 5:32 improvement to the previous Super Pitfall movie. The author doesn't want to spoil what makes this version so much faster than the last one. You'll have to watch it in order to find out. Hopefully you've already seen
the 11:52 version so that you can understand this movie better.
In order to beat the game (the first quest, at least), Pitfall Harry must accomplish 6 tasks:
