- Emulator used : snes9x 1.52 rr
- I used 2 times skip stage in the game ( by collecting bones ) at stages 4 and 20
- I don't use glitch/programing errors (one exist but i loose time using it). i manipulate a bit boss 2 to have spikes balls to kill him
- I take damage and die two times to save time. I 'hit and jump' on enemy to take shortcuts too
- My aim was simply to the fastest possible. ( 101% vestion or no damage vertion could be made )
Prehistorik man is a funny platform game. There is 23 stages + final boss. in some stages you need to :
- collect stuff ( diamonds for stage 3 and 12 and tabs on stage 16 )
- ride some 'transports' ( plane on stage 3, "boingboing?" on stage 12 and a weel on stage 17)
- use weapons are needed to progress too ( stage 9 ).
- Most of the stages are horizontal, but a few are vertical ( 8 and 10 ).
I made this movie in two times:
- The first wasn't good beacause i didn't skip stage 4 ( saving around 3000 frames ) and had many desync problems on boss 1 and 2 ( stage 6 and 14 ). i stoped it on stage 14 at 4406 rerecords.
- I decided to remade the movie on Xarthok advice from the begining to collect 100 bones for skiping stage 4, and taking the special weapon in stage 6 to kill the first boss more quikly. i copy/paste some stages from my first run with tasmovie editor and improved some others ( couple of frames ). The dificulty was mainly on bosses, they have 'random' invincibility frames, and don't do the same actions when i was recording and when i played the movie. I improve that for the 1st boss with a weapon and manipulate the second one to be sure to have spikes balls ( 3 damages instead of 2 ) and no desync problems. An other problem was to know when i had to save my 3 lifes for taking damages on the way to save time ( death abusing/taking shortcuts). In an other hand, i tried to make some funny/impressive things ( by jumping on enemy, running or jumping on plateforms i was forced to wait) but this game is not the best for that...
- I made this TAS for myself like a challenge, knowing nothing on tasing before, and because it has never been tased before. It's a pretty hard game played normally ( less than a super ghouls n gost but more than a mario ) and i'm proud to kill this final boss in something like 20 minutes !
- Special thank to Xarthok and his speedrun of the game [dead link removed] for helping me and partyboy1a for technical advices at the beginning.
