I've talked to GerbilSoft. He said that he will include recording capabilities eventually (and that's what reads in the docs). I guess he will be the answer to Linux port of Gens recording project. He's already made really good work with Gens/GS.

I agree with LagDotCom's suggestion.

I remember trying to get Doomblade working against Darksol but didn't succeed on that. ;(

Doomblade is a great weapon. It does insta-kills randomly. Problem is that it 'steals' the hero's turn if it decides to kill someone. Has to be equipped to work too but you don't actually need to use attack action. For example: hero could use healing ring but in the battle Doomblade strikes one enemy dead and hero cannot perform the action (using healing ring). I have tested this many times. Its behaviour really differs from other items. But I guess it's no use in this TAS however. And can anyone remember what did the Magic Mirror do? "Deathpaw Item: 6A Magic Mirror Drop Rate: 1/256" lowest drop rate?

IIRC, The Mercy Staff only casts Heal 2, which restores ~60-80 HP. The Heal Ring casts Heal 3, which restores 100% HP.
Sounds obvious, yes. The monster itself casts heal level 2. But when I found that item I remember that I actually used it for healing. I wouldn't use heal 2 item. But someone should check it out. I could if I happen to find my savefile somewhere... BTW, does all the monsters have the same item drop %?

Entertaining: - use Milo only as a bait - not letting Gila get away (I kinda knew that already) - ... but leaving the princess behind sure was a twist - very smart way to use forbidden box - Dark Sol -dance \o/ - Gila hit the final blow Oh man. This deserves a yes -vote. But! I think there could be a faster way to obtain a healing device by killing NECROMANCER and obtaining a MERCY STAFF for Pyra. It looks like you had to spend some time to get that HEAL RING... Not quite sure though, because I somehow remember it's on the way to last floor anyway... Correct me if I'm wrong. I need some sleep now. \o

I think collecting all the items but the missiles would be more entertaining. Still, this deserves a yes -vote.

mplayer founds the audio track, but it seems to be silent. I tested with mplayer and xine. No audio on both.

Does it go the way that those "spectacularly entertaining" videos get "special star" and just "spectacular" videos just get published?

I enjoyed this run. but I don't know if no-damage-run would have been more entertaining. Still it was (well) enough enertaining to have my "yes". Upthorn, in particular, what scene wasn't entertainig?

-Crystal Ooze level ups. Get Forbidden Box from Serpi and manipulate instakill for 8 Crystal Oozes.
Or get Shock Box from Handeater. Shock Box does insta kills always unlike Frobidden Box. Might be easier... But for Handeaters you have to go and find a treasure chest. With Serpi you just have to manipulate it to appear. I don't know which is fastest because I don't know all the Handeater locations.

I have no idea how I'm going to take down Darksol. Demon Breath will kill the entire party in one cast.
Darksol casts it every round after both hands have been defeated. Right? Also I'd like to know if you guys use any of the insta-kill items and does Milo get Super Flail at any point?

Knowing this game I noticed some really clever shortcuts. Like skipping the second battle with dragon(spawn). A yes. I think this movie could be a bit more entertaining by: - taking no damage - killing every enemy (that hits on the way) Maybe no-damage run next time... Anyway, not bad at all.

I really would like to see this TAS. I bet this can be entertaining too, because I've completed this game several times.

I hope this helps, here's a list of items dropped by monsters:

For *NIX geeks:
List formatted with: sed -e 's/=/@=@/' | column -ts '@'
Can be unformatted with: sed -e 's/ *= */ = /'

BILDBLOK       =   MITHRIL ARMOR
BLACKBONE      =   MITHRIL AXE (Best one-attack-per-turn weapon for Milo)
BRIMSTONE      =   DREAM BLADE (The most powerful weapon for hero. If used casts MUDDLE level 1. Unfortunately this is too good to be true... Yes. It's cursed. Makes wearer to be under affect of MUDDLE level 2.)
CENTAURIAN     =   STEEL ARMOR
CERBERUS       =   DOOMSTAFF (Very good staff for Pyra. Cursed. If used casts BLAZE level 4 on EVERYONE.)
CHIMERA        =   FROST ARMOR (Quite a good armor for hero. May give some resistance to cold, ie. against to FREEZE. But when you meet this nasty creature you should already found one...)
COLOSSUS       =   MITHRIL ORE (Material needed to forge mithril euipment.)
DEADHEAD       =   LONGSWORD
DEATHBRINGER   =   MIRACLE HERB (If used casts REVIVE level 2.)
DEATHMASK      =   DOOMBLADE (One of the best weapons for Hero. If equipped, does instant kills randomly. It is semi-cursed. It can assasinate enemies even if you don't actually attack. It "steals" hero's turn and kills an enemy.)
DEATHPAW       =   MAGIC MIRROR
DEATHSERPENT   =   IRON ARMOR
DEMI-WIGHT     =   WORN ROBE (The worst armor in the game and it's even cursed ;|)
DEMONESK       =   HERBWATER
DEMONIKA       =   ICE SABER
DRAGONSPAWN    =   IRON LANCE
DREAM PUFF     =   LEATHER ROBE

GHOUL          =   DARK SCIMITAR
GOLLUM         =   SUPER FLAIL (Propably the best weapon for Milo. Makes attack THREE times a turn. Great weapon when combined with BOOST level 1)
GRAVEROC       =   STEEL LANCE
GRIMWALL       =   HEALERFRUIT
GRYPHON        =   STEELWHIP (The best non cursed whip for Pyra)
GUARDIAN       =   LIGHTROBE (Why is MAGIC MAIL better than this? Does this have some special abilities? Magic resistance?)
HELLHOUND      =   HOLY WATER
HOBGOBLIN      =   BATTLE HAMMER
KALIUM         =   HERBWATER
KRUSHER        =   DARK BLOCK (Trader can forge cursed euipment from theese.)
LANCEROT       =   STORM SWORD
LIVING ARMOR   =   BROADSWORD
LOKJAW         =   MAGIC RING
MANDAGORA      =   BARRIER RING (!!! Gives defence and magic resistance. If used casts QUICK level 2.)
MANDRAKE       =   HEALERFRUIT
MEAT ZOMBIE    =   DEMON STAFF (Poor weapon for Pyra. If used casts muddle level 2 to EVERYONE with 100% success rate, except for some special kind of enemies. Cannot be broken. Note: When muddled [lvl 2], monsters give away their treasures sometimes.)
NECROMANCER    =   MERCY STAFF (Quite a good weapon, being a staff, for Pyra. When used casts HEAL level 3!)
RAGNAROCK      =   MAGIC MAIL
RAMIUM         =   SUM ARMOR (Armor for hero. May give resistance to heat.)
REAPER         =   BATTLE AXE
SCIZZAR        =   MITHRIL HOOD
SEA STALLION   =   MADU
SERPI          =   FORBIDDEN BOX (The most exciting toy EVER.)
SLIMY OOZE     =   HERB
SORCEROR       =   STEELPLATE
TROGLODYTE     =   STEEL SHIELD
VYPER          =   DARK BLOCK (Trader can forge cursed euipment from theese.)
WARBIRD        =   HEX WHIP (Best whip for Pyra, unfortunately also cursed.)
WARHORSE       =   MAGIC ROBE (Armor for Milo and Pyra. May give magic resistance.)

I also believe the un-fall present is replaced by "Togetherness", which is about a thousand times more useful in TAS, since the only practical way to use it in single-player is to fall on top of a out-of-the-way ship piece.
This is true. Make TJ drop to lower level to get a ship piece and then use Togetherness to get back to Earl, who has alredy found his way to elevator.

You could try to use some desktop video capturing program... I don't know any for Windows, but I'm sure there is. I bet Google can answer to this. ;)

Yeah. Glitchless run sounds really nice. Can you give some urls to your YouTube videos related to this?
