I did a search and I don't think I made a topic for this yet. If I did, I apologize. But anyway, this game has always been one that I've enjoyed. I never quite understood the hate of the game. It always felt like a solid puzzler with a good difficulty curve. I've always came close to beating it, but I never actually beat it. You play as a little guy who bounces off the sides of the screen automatically, and you have to collect jewels by touching them. There are a multitude of traps and tricks to watch out for, and there's other blocks that make you do odd things or help you out. I wanted to try to find some gameplay footage of it, but all I found was a bunch of Let's Plays, so here's the best I can do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tANIAvgPh8o What do you think? I'd love to do this run because I've always loved the game, but other people don't share my love of the game. I know of a couple of tricks, but I don't know of any glitches yet. Also, I would be using the version of the game on Maxi 15. For some odd reason, the regular Dudes With Attitude ROM has a screwed up mapper issue that using Maxi 15 doesn't have. Odd. o_O

Okay, I muted my computer and watched about 20s of the middle of that video, and I recognize that gameplay! There was an old Mac game (like, for System 7 or so) that was very similar. I can't remember for the life of me what it was called, but I can remember the music no problem. Naturally. Anyway, as long as you think a TAS wouldn't just be a high-speed walkthrough, I'd say it's worth giving it a shot.

This can probably be interesting. Make sure to run this as a 2 player teamwork as that will probably be a lot more fun to watch than 1 player.
