#1904: adelikat's NES Color a Dinosaur "Pterodactyl" in 00:43.58

Vote: Did you like watching this movie? (Vote after watching!)

Submission Text Full Submission Page

This submission takes the pterodactyl path of this game. This is the REAL path unlike Deign's movie.

This movie is slower than Deign's movie, but FAR more entertaining as it takes the most entertaining path and executes it masterfully.

The movie contains critical speed entertainment trade offs
Aims for fastest time
Colors a dinosaur
Will one day be worth its weight in gold
FCEU .16 (will sync with FCEU .22)

NesVideoAgent: Hi! I am a robot. I took a few screenshots of this movie and placed them here. Oh! I also corrected the ROM name.

You indicated Color a Dinosuar (U).nes
I updated it to Color A Dinosaur (U) [!].nes

adelikat: removed screenshot as it contained major spoilers :|

Bisqwit: Thanks for contributing something for future reference. Now rejecting this submission in a non-humorous manner.

I forgot to include the memory locations that were critical in optimizing this TAS: 0021-022 Pencil coordinates 0109-010C - Color selection & checkmark coordinates 0011 - Global Timer 0088-008A - Pencil velocity / Motion animation addresses

It's hard to look this good. My TAS projects

Voting no for the noticeable lack of sub-pixel optimization.

Yeah, I was afraid of that ._. But other than that trick, my movie is perfect :-)

Hmm.. Voting meh. While you claim the run is perfect, theres places I've noticed that can be improved. I would improve it myself, but I'm far too busy, so you'll have to wait a couple of years until I get around to it. Sorry. More seriously, apart from being the most bizarrely drawn pterrodactyl ever (is it on jurassic drugs or something?) I took some pics: http://www.bluetoaster.net/tasvideos/subpics/1904/ Linked to avoid epic spoilers.

<adelikat> I am annoyed at my irc statements ending up in forums & sigs

Voting yes because of that comment. Also because the dinosaur is totally rad.

* Colors a dinosaur

I think that's the funniest submission criteria ever. I really don't see how any game can be published from now on that doesn't color a dinosaur.

TASing or playing back a DOS game? Make sure your files match the archive at RGB Classic Games.

Or, all future submissions require * Does not color a dinosaur

Sage advice from a friend of Jim: So put your tinfoil hat back in the closet, open your eyes to the truth, and realize that the government is in fact causing austismal cancer with it's 9/11 fluoride vaccinations of your water supply.
