- Aims for fastest time
- Takes damage to save time
- Uses no passwords
- Genre: Platform
A simple platformer (similar to some Mario games) that illustrates damage abuse well. The player does not go out of the way to pick up items.

Selected quote from author: Introduction: Tom and Jerry is a kid’s cartoon where the mouse generally triumphs, with the cat being ignominiously defeated. The video game is a side scroller, with a lot of up-and-down motion as well. Jerry can take 4 hits before dying – the fifth kills him.

Rating: 6.2 (22 votes)
- Aims for fastest time
- One player controls two characters
- Takes no damage
- Plays at "easy" level
- Genre: Fighting
In River City Ransom, Alex and Ryan face off against gangs of students and evil bosses to win their town back and rescue their girlfriends.

A glitch is used often in this run when left and right are pressed at the same time, which causes the player to do all sorts of crazy things, and usually lose all of his power. This is done to reduce lag during running segments. The boss battles are fought with style in mind, using a variety of attack methods throughout.
