Bionic Commando is a platform game with a hero who can't jump, but can quickly latch onto objects with his bionic arm. The TAS looks very impressive with its inhumanly fast grappling and swinging.

This is Cardboard's and JXQ's second contribution to Bionic Commando, this time improved by about 4.5 seconds.

It's been a long time since a Bionic Commando TAS was submitted, but here we at last have a new version.

Note: The previous version was made with the Japanese version, whereas this version is made with the USA version. There was actually a large debate on this site regarding which version should be used -- both versions contain something good and something bad that the other does not. The question is still open, but in the mean time, here is this new movie. In where it matters, it is faster than the previous movie.
