Hello! This is a game called Centipede, and it's about, well, shooting things for points! This movie was mainly made to show off BizHawk 1.4.0, which features Atari 7800 support.

Game objectives

  • Emulator used: BizHawk 1.4.0
  • Attempts to get 20,000 points.
  • Small amounts of luck manipulation.

Notes

  • Sometimes I had to wait 1-2 frames because the bullet would just go through the centipede for some reason.
  • I hit the heads of the centipede because they give 100 points, as opposed to the rest of the body giving just one point.
  • Time can probably be saved from better luck manipulation, though I've tested a few maps. As for enemy spawning, it's very difficult to manipulate.
  • This took around 3 hours to make. I now hate Atari games >.<

FractalFusion: Judging.
FractalFusion: The goal of fastest to obtain at least 20000 points is arbitrary, and does not produce an entertaining TAS. It does not fit the criteria of any tier. So I'm rejecting the submission.
