Wow... This was even worse entertainment wise compared to the previous submission of the Italian version, mostly because this is longer.... TASing this game adds absolutely nothing compared to just playing it.
Voted "No Deal" for poor game choice.

I could not spot any improvements that aren't obvious like better planning on attacking enemies etc... But I find this game interesting enough to deserve a submission.

I would like this idea if it was to crown the absolute worst submission of the year :) But if the intention is to give an award to a movie that was almost good enough to get published, but not quite, then I agree with DK and Mothrayas
For some reason I kinda like this idea...
I vote for the award statue to be a dunce cap, but we would have to exclude the April Fools submissions as it would be unfair if a non-serious submission won the award.

The problem with this is that if you have a great TAS, you won't know whether you want to nominate it for TAS of the year or just Platform TAS of the year. Either you get a very good chance of a smaller award, or you get a maybe-one-in-three shot at the big one. We don't want to encourage people not to nominate for TAS of the year because it deprives them of Platform TAS of the year with only a small chance of success at a bigger award for it. In the end, both awards suffer by not being able to consider the full range of eligible TASes.
Under your system, the second and third favourite contenders for TAS of the year last year (Megaman 2 and Aria of Sorrow 100% souls) might have won nothing at all, had they gone for the big prize.

An idea that crossed my mind reading the previous posts are that if there won't be too much work involved also give prices to 2nd and 3rd place (silver and bronze)

I don't know if anyone has realized that there is a DOS version of this game with almost exactly the same "rules" as the Windows version. Since DOS TASing is now possible I would recommend that version over the Lynx.
