Bloody Wolf is an Arcade port of a Heavy Barrel-esque game. The goal is to rescue the president, and then rescue the man who rescued the president, due to insufficient leg room in the rescue helicopter.

In this run, the author bunny hops through the game, throws grenades at everything, and dies for no apparent reason.

Award - PCE TAS of 2010
In Bonk's Adventure, you play as a caveboy on his quest to rescue Princess Za, a small pink and cute little reptile, from the evil King Drool, a huge and ugly tyronnosaurus.

Jerfo could complete this quest in only 24:03.61 minutes, by making Bonk fly over most stages while he spins himself in the air, bouncing himself on enemies, after he gets bounced by a flower. Make sure you're ready to hear that spinning sound over and over again!

- Takes damage to save time
- Genre: Action
Bonk's Revenge is the second game in a popular PCE/Turbographx 16 platforming series. Thankfully despite the console's unpopularity some of the games in the series were ported elsewhere. Bonk is a caveman with a giant noggin he willingly uses as a weapon against his enemies. He can also break the laws of physics by using his enormous head as leverage to glide in midair.

This run by FuzZerd features all the trappings of a prehistoric blockbuster adventure, including fire breathing, jungle platforming, raging on huge dinosaurs before they know what hit them, and raw meat.

"What? They don't got no TurboGrafx games?!" - Strong Bad, Teen Girl Squad #11

Well now, TASVideos does have them! In Dragon Egg, the heroine carries around a portable dragon which, after many power-ups, becomes a lot less portable to the point where the heroine is portable instead.

The author uses the game's quirky physics to move faster and create some interesting shortcuts that are normally not possible during real-time play.

- 5 Players
- Takes damage to save time
- Genre: Action
- Genre: RPG
Dungeon Explorer is based off of Gauntlet, but adds a plot, bosses, magic spells and RPG elements. Notably, it also one-ups Gauntlet by allowing for five players.

The author races through the dungeons with all five players, making short work of bosses. The five characters were selected for their high starting agility, and include a fighter (blue), a warlock (purple), an elf (green), a bard (orange), and a thief (red).

Also, the only exit that matters is the last one used by a player, and the author uses this extensively to use the fastest character, the thief, to run when an earlier exit is available for the other characters to use.

Kato-chan Ken-chan is a gem of a PCE game made by Hudson. Often abbreviated as "Kato-Ken" in Japan, this game is derived from a Japanese TV program, "Kato-chan Ken-chan gokigen TV". The main characters are Cha Kato (Kato-chan) and Ken Shimura (Ken-chan), who are famous Japanese comedians. One particularly distinguishing feature of the game is the ability to attack enemies with farts!

In this run, the author uses Ken-chan, though you will also see Kato-chan appear from time to time to be a nuisance to Ken-chan.

- Takes damage to save time
- Genre: Adventure
Keith Courage in Alpha Zones stars a hero who suspiciously looks like Gunstar Red. He is a part of the alliance N.I.C.E. (Nations of International Citizens for Earth), who's current 'mission' is to defeat B.A.D. (Beastly Alien Dudes) and bring peace to the world.

This TAS features speedy completion by using the inept enemies as boosts to speed through the underworld levels. Only 2 of the weapon upgrades are ever collected and all of the story is completely skipped.

There are also 2 cases of using an instant kill level hazard as a shortcut.

This game should probably have a seizure warning of some sort.

Legend of Hero Tonma is a simple platforming game where Tommy, the main character, goes on a quest to rescue a princess. The game also has some amusing examples of awkward English in between stages.

DarkKobold completes this quest very quickly and without taking any damage.

The title of the series upon which this game is based, and therefore the game itself, has been rendered a variety of different ways in English; this is perhaps indicative of just how bizarre the viewing experience is.

Witness magic-wielding mecha float through the air and attack enemies in a variety of ways and polish off this game in just under nine minutes.

This game was released for the Supergrafx, a console which is a slight modification of the Turbografx 16/PC Engine with intent of enhancing the graphical capabilities of the console; for the moment (and perhaps permanently) it is being classified as a PCE game.

- Best ending
- Uses hardest difficulty
- Genre: Platform
- Genre: Shooter
Ninja Spirit began life as an arcade game and since then has received many ports, including a Game Boy version and this version. It would be a stock platform game but for the ability to have up to two 'spirits' which behave like the options from Gradius.

This run is played on Arcade mode, where the character dies in one hit and bosses are stronger; the other available mode (appropriately titled PCE mode) allows taking more than one hit and is overall easier. People familiar with the game should be able to appreciate the difference, as Arcade mode is extremely challenging.

Doc, the creator of the two cyborgs Arnold and Sonya, has been kidnapped as a prelude to an alien invasion. It's up to the two of them to stop the invasion and rescue their creator.

The author uses an unconventional mode of transport in this run. A dual-player charge shot that is done incorrectly causes the players to be ricocheted around the screen. This provides a faster form of movement than walking, when aimed correctly!
