This is a historic movie, submitted and obsoleted before the creation of the database-based (and wiki-based) site engine, before July 2004.

It was inserted to the database in a history revival project by Bisqwit in autumn 2006.

As for the movie itself... The earliest Duck Tales publication on record (but Blublu's 4th attempt). This movie features the route used in subsequent publications.

Gremlins 2 done quick.

There is some insane twitching in this movie, which is more aesthetically pleasing
than the kangaroo-like jumping in the previous movie.

The main improvements consist of taking damage to save time, buying a weapon
power-up to reduce the time spent fighting bosses, along with some minor optimization which add up to 33 seconds of improvement.

Gremlins 2 done quick - the third version by total now, the second by this author.

This movie makes Gremlins 2 look like it's just some avoid-obstacles-jump-and-walk platform game, which it really isn't at least meant to be.

- Takes damage to save time
- Uses warps
- Genre: Shooter
Solar Jetman is a space adventure game where the main excitement comes from the physics of the game.

In the game, you explore planets with a small module you fly around, towing fuel tanks and other artifacts back to the mother ship, often from planets with a ridiculous level of gravity and narrow hazardous caverns. Anyone who has played this game surely knows how difficult it can be, while being entertaining for hours after hours.

There are a few different modules to fly, and even a password option, but none of these were used in this movie.

This movie completes the game through a few secret warps, extensive usage of the afterburner, many reckless maneuvers and a few timebombs, now about 1 minute faster than the previous author's movie.

The music in this game is very strange.

Pugsley's scavenger hunt is an extremely fast paced game, which makes it difficult. It is made even more difficult by playing on the hardest setting, which gives Pugsley only one single heart, meaning that he dies in one hit. The movie itself looks very impressive and it really gives the impression that the player knows what he is doing.

The author uses a trick known as the wall-jump to climb vertical walls. This allows for many creative shortcuts.

Please read the welcome page if you haven't already done so. It explains the rules and methods that apply to all of these movies, particularly the use of savestates and frame advance. Also refer to our Glossary to understand terms we use, such as TAS or other unfamiliar terms.
