Lethal Weapon
In the NES Wishlist thread XTREMAL93 requested Lethal Weapon run so I thought I would give it a shot. Here is my first WIP (about a minute and a half in). I really have my doubts that this would be considered a good game choice but I may continue anyways. In the game you move right to get to the end of stages killing all of the enemies every time your progress is stopped. This same style of moving right, shooting all 3 enemies as early as possible, move right, etc. would last somewhere between 25 and 35 minutes. Let me know what you think.

I haven't watched it yet, but based on your comment on the gameplay, I think a playaround would be better due to 25 minutes of the same thing isn't exactly the most entertaining thing to watch.

I have sort of discovered that "entertainment" isn't exactly my strength, but it is pretty easy to TAS so I think I am going to continue a traditional speedrun and just attempt to be entertaining as I can. It probably wouldn't get accepted (or maybe it would, as I said, I don't really have a complete understanding of what this site finds "entertainment" factors in movies) but I really enjoy having movies available for as many games as possible. That way even if it isn't accepted at least there would be a youtube encode of it if someone did just want to watch it as fast as possible.

It seems that goofydylan8 abandoned TASing this game. I am not sure what his opinion is by now, but I personally think that a TAS for this game would land in the moons. It is quite interesting to watch the main character defeating enemies so fast that they stand absolutely no chance at fighting back, especially if many enemies don't get a chance to enter the screen. However, as goofydylan8 mensioned, this TAS should not be hard to make. So I would say that a published TAS for this game would most likely be in the Moons teir. Here is a complete WIP for level 1-1: It is about 2/3 goofydylan8's work and 1/3 mine: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/20112191051370022 Also, I am not so sure that a complete TAS of this game would be 25 minutes long. I think a well made TAS of this could be sub-20 since 2:03.26 (7408 frames) into the game, the WIP I just posted enters level 2 and there are 3 levels with 3 stages each. However, we can be reasonably sure that the length of the final TAS will be more than 18:31.20 (66672 frames) in length.
