This was entertaining. I love when you stack the zombies together and blow them all up at once. Good stuff. Yes-vote

Awesome run Janus. I've been watching the WIP's now and then as well. Really good stuff you put together. Hehe.. I wonder how the ball-torturing-programmers were thinking with the boss located at 1 hour and 13 minutes into the movie? All hits seems to land in its groin. :D This was an easy yes-vote. Thank you!

Using Windows 7 on Acer Aspire 5680WLMI right now. It is not really meant to run on it probably, but it works great. (Actually says Windows Vista Capable). :) There are some stuff in Win7 which you need to tweak, such as that fucking paranoid program execution thing. This was new to me since I did not run Vista at all. Also I noticed that Win7 uses A LOT of RAM. What also bugs me is that the installed size of the system is ridiculous. About 9.4GB installed. What the hell is that for? I did not even get a choice to remove stuff during the install. That really pissed me off.

Hi Icy World, Glad to see new faces trying to make some effort at TAS:ing. I was wondering if you really meant speedrun in that video though? Looks like you are playing realtime and not by slowing the emulator down?

I don't know if this game is such a good idea to TAS actually. To me it looked like a too slow side-scrolling game. I guess the action it self was pretty good and all. But I could probably not stand to sit around watching a run of the entire game. I do not in any way want to disencourage nor demotivate you from TASing, it's just that this game is not very appealing to me at all. Just my point of view. Cheers.

I used to buy a lot of games for my Sega Mega Drive and SNES back in the days. Now and then I still pick up a few titles for both of the mentioned systems. Some times from flea markets, ebay (and other sites like that), and some times you can actually find them rather cheap in various stores. I somewhat like to own the actual copy of those old games. I still get slightly carried away, as I did when I was a child buying a new game. I don't really buy, nor consume, most modern games. The most modern game I bought was Warcraft 3 + Frozen throne. This I bought directly at the battle.net store. Mainly because I wanted to play custom maps at battle net. I bought them this summer. Also I think that games mainly are to expensive. So I wait around until they release as a classic, when the price has dropped to a rough $13. Speaking of bug-ridden games as Tub stated above; wasn't SiN one of the worst games of all when it came? I think they released a billion of patches and fixes for that game. Might be mistaking me for something else. But I want to recall that game at least. :)

Thanks for the encode. Would not be watching this run without it. This run kept me entertained for the few minutes it was running. Cheers!

This run was impressive. Never thought that it could be beaten THAT fast. Also I was a bit puzzled since I did not read the submission text before watching. What I noticed the most was that the cup selection in the end was not there. Did not think it would be that fast. :D YES Vote from me.

What about mouse support? =) Apparently there should be some games with support for it.

Wow! This sounds really cool. Keep us posted. If you finally makes one that works, I'd want one! :) Imagine actual TAS-hardware eh? =)

Wow! That was an awesome run. Glad to see such an improvement. It's pretty daring. :) Would be nice to have a LUA script that automatically skips the dialogs though. This is definitely a YES-vote. Thank you!

One thing I think we'll never see is an emulator to handle most PC-based games. Game wise I think there are plenty of things that I never would have thought of in either of them. Item glitches (for zipping for example) in Mega Man 2 comes to mind. Using death as shortcut is still that I think is quite quirky.

Um... Where is the edit button? Anyway.. The url was redirecting correct. Sorry for not testing before posting. Still it should probably be changed, right? Secondly - For me it would be awesome to let µtorrent download the files it self, but it does not show up. Am I doing something wrong? Most other rss-feeds are working properly for me, and when I check the feed in Firefox it works perfectly. Maybe this is the wrong topic though? Sorry for that.

In what way are you stuck? I don't have time to check the video right now, so please be a bit more specific. Cheers! Keep up the good job.

Yes-vote Will you go after Bubble Bobble and Solomon's key as well, now that you are done with Eggerland? Seems like those two are the only one left of the famtasia emulator.
