Word. Waiting to see it as a submission. The furthest we ever got in this game when playing it on a console as a kid was the boss in the black outfit who shot flame and flew across the top of the screen. I assume that's the level 7 boss? I can't remember :)

OT: To be fair....I didn't vote for him (again). I'd imagine most of the other Americans on here didn't vote for him either......(just guessing)

Impressive. Keep it up, look forward to the finished result (never managed to beat this game as a kid)

Looks good so far. I think the most creative thing you're going to be able to do from here is to use the flame attack directionally to wipe out enemies not immediately in your path. Looking forward to any progress you make here :)

Unfortunately this movie is super long because you have to run through the game twice to actually beat it. For the sake of entertainment, it might be worthwhile to use the level select cheat to skip to the end level the first time through so you don't have to beat *every* level twice http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/snes/code/9408.html

http://www.vgmusic.com/ Great source of midis for just about every console. These are all fan-composed, not extracted from video games directly, so they're not exact replicas from the games.

In the episode "The Screaming Skull" one of the host segments features Crow's head painted black and white like a skull. He goes "raaaahh" and freaks Mike out to the point that he starts smacking him with a stick. This might be where the outtake came from?

What is amusing about "Diabolik" is that a) it's the very last episode, and the way they ended the series is very clever b) if you've ever seen the music video for Beastie Boys - Body Movin' you will have an odd sense of deja vu :)

Good topic IMO If you are looking for episodes to download, there is a huge community built around the concept of "keep circulating the tapes" (just in digital form). They've even started doing DVD-R quality distributions of episodes that haven't been commercially released: The Digital Archive Project My favorite episodes would have to be (in no particular order): * Overdrawn at the Memory Bank * Space Mutiny * Final Sacrifice * Diabolik * Jack Frost

Just curious, are you doing two-pass encoding on these avis? That seems to help a great deal, especially in fast-motion scenarios where the regular predictive logic of the codec breaks down

Forgotten Worlds - great capcom flyer/shooter that involved two guys who could fly and get weapons upgrades. Not a terribly difficult game but it would be impressive to see a 100% kills timeattack considering a straightup speed run wouldn't really be all that exciting (fixed-rate scrolling on all the levels IIRC) Mystic Defender - Platform scroller kinda like Strider but with "mystic" powers. Probably a pretty short game, but hard as hell. We never beat this one when we played it as kids Super G&G - Probably the most impressive of all the incarnations of this game. Another one we never beat cus we never found the bracelet after warping back to the beginning. I know someone was working on a run of this but never completed it because they couldn't find the bracelet.

Instead of starting snes9x by itself, drag and drop the rom file onto the snes9x executable so that it loads the game when the emu starts. At least, that worked for me.....

Anyone thought about timeattacking any games on the TurboGrafx 16 platform? I'm sure there aren't any decent EMUs around that could do recording/rerecording, but a guy can dream can't he? A few games that I played endlessly as a kid that would be good candidates: * All the Bonk games * Bloody Wolf * Splatterhouse * R-Type I'm sure there are others but those spring to mind.

Nicely done. One of my favorite games from back in the day (which incidentally, my friends and I were never able to beat)

Agreed...a 2-player time attack of this would rock. I remember never getting further than the 2nd level as a kid until we used the konami code

Basically a sequel to Gradius for the NES....probably even the same game engine underneath. Anyone thought about doing this one? Has a lot of potential to be done well, just like the Gradius.
