Might and Magic II: Gates to Another World is an RPG with some amazingly grand scope. Levels up to 255, hp to 65535, +63 weapons, battles with 255 opponents, time travel, and characters dying of old age.

This run takes care of money problems by finding a nameless, glitched party member and taking all his stuff. Teleportation is used in some places it normally can't be by resting to reset the forbidden flag. Walking backwards is employed when it reduces screen draw time. Temple blessings are used rather than a cleric, and items are used instead of a sorcerer.

- Genre: RPG
Heroes of the Lance is based on the first Dragonlance campaign and novel. The party journeys through the ruined city of Xak Tsaroth, face the ancient dragon Khisanth and retrieve the Disks of Mishakal. The interface is setup as a side scroller and only one member of the party is controlled at once.

In the run Randil blitzes through everything, not taking the time to kill or even hit any of the regular enemies. The spell being cast most of the time is Protection From Evil. This creates short term invulnerability and allows for jumping through enemies.

- Genre: Platform
Simon takes another shot at this castle, but he felt horrible for all the destruction he caused last time. So now he tries to be nice to Dracula and leave the place untouched (even if his intention is to kill the count...).

For being a minimalist variation of a pacifist goal, this movie does not contain any destruction in the levels: candles and walls are left intact, items stay untouched. No enemy is harmed, except for the bosses, who are killed mercilessly with the help of the "critical hit" glitch.

This ends up being quite a stealthy run without subweapons and only using the leather whip.

Contra completed fast, with an additional goal: do not kill enemies directly unless absolutely necessary to complete the game.

The hero shows the ultimate display of pacifism by sacrificing his own life in order to not destroy the Level 5 tanks.

This movie improves upon the previous movie by 6.85 seconds.


Note: This game was released under different names, such as 魂斗羅 (kontora) in Japan, and Probotector in Europe. GryZor is also used in Europe on some other systems.

Silver Surfer is a shoot 'em up released in 1990. In this game, you control the Silver Surfer through various levels that alternate between a side-scrolling and an overhead perspective.

This game is famous for its legendary difficulty, due to the fact that the Silver Surfer has an enormous hitbox and can only take one hit, and there are many enemies cluttering each of the levels. The two authors make it through killing the least amount of enemies possible, however. Also listen for the nice music by Follin brothers!

Super C completed as fast as possible, with an additional goal: do not kill enemies directly unless absolutely necessary to complete the game. Our bare-chested hero shows the ultimate display of pacifism by sacrificing his own life multiple times near the end against stationary enemies.

This awe inspiring TAS by Heidman has the hero dancing through densely packed screens of enemies and weapon fire, narrowly avoiding certain death again and again. Watch riveted in your seat, as you wonder how will he escape each new situation he gets into.

- Pacifist version
- Uses warps
- Genre: Platform
Yo! Noid is a game centered around a short man in a rabbit suit making his way through New York City to defeat an identical man in a different color rabbit suit for a pizza reward. The game was conceived as part of a 1980s advertising campaign for Domino's Pizza. As anyone who has played the game knows, the game is quite difficult, since the controls are sluggish, one hit kills you, and the pizza bonus games at the end can be difficult to win if you don't pick up enough useful powerups.

With some movement glitches, warps, and luck manipulation, FODA beats this game very quickly. Not only that, to make the run even harder and more impressive, he doesn't kill any enemies.

This game has won first place on several worst game of all time lists. Despite that, Cooljay tries as hard as he can to make it watchable, and complete this travesty of a game in little more than 10 minutes.

Due to budget cutbacks, the guy who destroys the world bare-chested has been ordered to conserve his ammo. This run completes Contra 3 without shooting anything that isn't mandatory for winning the game. This includes enemies' projectiles.

The sixth installment of the Ultima series, the game involes tracking down runes, navigating huge dungeons, combat, locating pirate treasure and a quest to restore peace between humans and gargoyles.

However, due to an inventory corruption glitch, the author decides to take the quick route and skip over almost the entire game. See the author's comments for more information.

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.
