Invasion of the Zombie Monsters is a B-Movie styled platformer for MSX. You take control of Ned, a geek trying to save his girlfriend from a giant demon terrorizing the city. This game was designed to be a throwback to games like Legend of Hero Tonma and Ghouls 'n Ghosts.

Ignoring the game's difficulty, the author, NitroGenesis, shreds through hordes of zombies and gets the girl in less than 5 minutes by manipulating bosses and abusing hitboxes.

- Takes damage to save time
- Genre: Adventure
- Genre: RPG
In this first-published MSX TAS, Rambo decides to skip rescuing the VIP and just make a leeway to the helicopter himself.

Reality is not all it seems, with spiders being as difficult to kill with a knife as a human, and foodlike substances adopting an alternate name.


To play the OMR file, make sure you have the Panasonic FS-A1WSX bios installed.

The story of Asterix takes place in the year 50 BCE. All of Gaul has been occupied by the Romans except for a little village. Asterix and his Gallic companions live in that village, fighting the Romans.

In this game, Julius Caesar has snatched Obelix, Asterix's best friend, and is about to feed him to lions! But before anyone can even blink, Asterix comes, kicks Julius' ass, and comes to the rescue of his friend!

This game is based on one of the most successful French comic book series of the same name. It has been successful since 1959, with more than 325 million comics sold worldwide.

- Contains speed/entertainment tradeoffs
- Takes damage to save time
Hammerin' Harry is a pretty simple platformer. Armed with a big hammer, you make your way through 5 levels, and the first 3 levels have bonus levels as well. At the end of each level there is a boss, and in some levels, there are also mini-bosses. In short, this game is a "normal" platformer, you won't have a hard time figuring out what's going on.

NitroGenesis improves on the previous movie by 5.72 seconds thanks to more optimized jumps and faster bossfights. For more info, we recommend reading the submission text.

Based on the comic strip Making It, Normy's Beach Babe-o-Rama was released in 1994 by Electronic Arts. The plot is that Normy's hanging out with some beach babes when suddenly an evil alien ship beams them aboard! Normy recieves a note that he's the only one that can save them and so he uses some magic suntan lotion to travel through time to rescue them.

NitroGenesis abuses Normy's dash to make quick work of the game's six levels, with the occasional glitch thrown in for good measure.

- Heavy glitch abuse
- Genre: Action
- Genre: Platform
Out of this World is a strange and difficult game. It was one of only a few SNES games to use loading screens.

This run obsoletes the previous movie by 5203 frames. We recommend reading the author's comments to understand the glitches being abused.

Quoting bobucles's analysis of the game:
Oh, this game is great. I remember that at the beginning, the gun has exactly enough shots to make it past that first door. Shield, big blast, and kill the guards, then the gun runs out. Waste any, and you die. Classic.

Spyman (スパイマン) is a short platform game by independent developer Ikiki. You play as a spy, and infiltrate a facility populated with standard Bad Guys, complete with sunglasses and guns.

Despite its short length, there is quite a bit of room for neat tricks and shortcuts, most of which are detailed here.

You can also watch a TAS of another game by the same developer, Nikujin.

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.
