Tool-assisted console game movies
When human skills are just not enough

Sand Box

Intro

Every Wiki must have a sandbox!
You do not need to be an editor, but you must be logged in to edit this page.

Please uncheck "IRC notify" when testing in the sandbox. Thank you.


TASVideos is a community for creating and publishing Tool-Assisted Speedrun (TAS) videos of classic and modern video games.

We strive to push games to their limits. To achieve our goals, we create and enhance emulators to allow for playing games in slow motion, undoing mistakes, and even utilizing robots to do our bidding.

Using these tools, we overcome human limitations such as skill and reflex, aiming to complete games with maximum precision, all the while providing a level of entertainment never seen before as our players tear through games as if they control the very fabric of reality. Despite all these tools, the end result is nothing more than a file of controller input that (while not humanly possible) could theoretically be done on the original hardware.

The in-depth knowledge collected during the making of our videos is extensively documented on our resource pages, to allow new players to quickly become pros.

You are invited to join our community, share knowledge of games, provide feedback of TAS videos you have watched, or even make movies yourself.
