| Family Feud (1993) follows the premise of the American TV show of the same name. Two families are pitted against each other in a contest aimed at guessing the results of a public survey. In the first two rounds, the first family member to press a button and give a concise answer that happens to be on the survey earns points. After that, this family can continue guessing answers on the survey, with control switching to the other family on incorrect guesses. After two rounds, the family with fewer points is disqualified, and the last round allows two members of the remaining family to list several of the existing survey answers in a very short time period. Heisanevilgenius's family, The As, ignores all that and goes with elaborate and utter nonsense instead… only to find the host accepting their answers as correct. The other family, The Halls, doesn't even get the chance to insert a word, proving the racial prejudice of the host. Watch the game and see for yourself. If you liked how the machine's text recognition system got abused in this movie, you must also check the troubles TAS brings the drawing recognition system into. Note: Some answers contain coarse language. | ||

This movie has been obsoleted!Click here to see the movie that obsoleted it.Everyone who has at least once attempted to gather a soul from each of the 120 enemies in Aria of Sorrow, especially during a speedrun, knows the frustration it incurs after a hundredth failed attempt to get the required drop. Even TASers who were trying their hand at this category since 2006 had to put their progress on hiatus due to the amount of luck manipulation going on in nearly every room. But all that only made the awaited result sweeter, as this first complete all-souls TAS beats the game on Hard mode in less than half an hour without even using glitch warps. However, if you would like to see the game beaten to a pulp in a mere quarter of this time, don't miss the glitched TAS by klmz. Note: while the movie doesn't use the glitch warps (neither by death nor by getting out-of-bounds using transform souls), it does use the normal warp rooms present in the castle. Starting from reset was necessary to take advantage of using Hard mode; it is normally not allowed — refer to the rules to see our reasons. | ||

This movie has been obsoleted!Click here to see the movie that obsoleted it.While Chrono Trigger (1995) usually takes days to complete, inichi decided he'd rather not have to sit through all the unnecessary stuff, like long cutscenes, unskippable boss fights and key plot events, so he did it in 21 minutes instead. "Big deal!", you might say — until you realize he didn't use NewGame+. Pick your jaw up off the floor! As Bisqwit puts it: Who needs strategy when you can just blast yourself through the wafers of the universe?Reading the author's comments is a requirement if you want so much as a clue to what's going on. | ||

| Shining Force is just under two hours of luck manipulation action. The random number generator is abused to the highest degree. The author used MATLAB, a math scripting language, to optimize the battle speeds. This is a 4 minute 27 second improvement over the previous movie by the same author. | ||

This movie has been obsoleted!Click here to see the movie that obsoleted it.Mega Man 2 is a game that hardly needs any introduction. This movie plays Rockman 2, the Japanese version, which is essentially Mega Man 2 in difficult mode. This is an improvement of about 37 seconds over the authors' previous effort; nearly 30 seconds of which come from a complete overhaul (and mutilation) of the Wood Man stage. See Rockman Tricks and the submission message for in-depth explanation and answers to various questions regarding this movie. | ||

This movie has been obsoleted!Click here to see the movie that obsoleted it.Not only was Castlevania - Symphony of the Night the first installment of the Castlevania series on PSX but also the very first PSX TAS to be published. Follow Dracula's son Alucard and see how he glitches through the castle on a quest to end his father's life. Arukado uses major route changes to improve the old movie by 1 minute and 18 seconds. A 100% run covering the whole castle is also available here. If you prefer the main character to have muscular bare arms, and to pray to the rain gods to defeat bosses, you may enjoy the Richter version. | ||

| Crusader of Centy (1994), also known as Soleil, tells the story of a teenage boy saving humanity from monsters that might or might not actually be evil. To his aid he has up to two pets at a time granting him some special ability. The movie takes advantage of the way the game calculates movement speed to make some seemingly impossible long jumps and skip large parts of some rooms. | ||

Gunstar Super Heroes is the sequel to Gunstar Heroes for the Genesis. Compared to Gunstar Heroes, in this game, you can go much faster. You can also yell and shout more than should be possible in a game!
Warning!
Those who experience motion sickness easily might not want to watch the autoshooter segments too closely. You have been warned.
