About the Game(s):
Action 52 is an unlicensed game made for the NES and Sega Genesis, featuring - you guessed it - 52 different video games. The NES version was published in 1991, whereas the Genesis version was published in 1993. Both versions were published by Active Enterprises.
Fire Breathers is game 1/52 in the NES version of Action 52. You play as the red Fire Breather who has to defeat the blue Fire Breather 8 times.
About the TAS:
This TAS aims for Any%, which means completing all 8 levels.
Gameplay/Tech:
Fire Breathers may be the easiest game in the entirety of Action 52. The goal - to defeat the opponent - is very straightforward.
By going far enough to the right to fire at the blue Fire Breather and then mashing A at a rate of 15fps, we can complete most of the levels in under a second.
Level 8 takes a bit longer because we have to go past a wall before firing at the blue Fire Breather.
And That’s It!

Accepting.
