I'm putting the Final fantasy improvement on hold now, it gave me a headache. plus I don't think Im anywhere near experienced enough to try an RPG, yet. I saw the list of games in the newbie corner, but they were all NES, and the Flinstones games for the SNES were slow( plus in one of the, Fred looked like he had a one too many strokes. I'm serious too.). Could anyone recommend a run that would be good for a beginner to start with? thanks

I think "Arkanoid Doh it again" might make an interesting TAS. Making a good TAS for it involves a lot of testing, but no advanced strategies are needed (no lag, or real luck manipulation).

Doh it again would be far more of a headache than final fantasy 4. How about taking a stab at obsoleting one of the SNES runs on this list? http://tasvideos.org/MoviesToObsoleteFrom2004.html
It's hard to look this good. My TAS projects

What about any action platformers? With the exception of actraiser, I think I would like to do one of those.

Well, there's Magic Sword...but that'd probably be better-done on the arcade. The SNES version's a capable port, but it suffers from slowdown rather frequently, and of course it isn't as pretty.

Almost any platformer published in 2005 would probably be a good challenge, but certainly doable. And the best part is, you have a good reference movie already to compare your movie to.

Hmm I'd be interested in giving bomberman 2 a go :D might start efforts for that shortly :) edit: any specific reason those games are on that list?

Tools in emulators have improved significantly since 2004. Also for NES games, Famtasia is a deprecated emulator (which the old runs use), so we'd like to obsolete them to keep runs unified onto the best emulators.
