Pretty nice! I like the glitchy kill of Stage 2's boss, and Stage 4 is really broken. I don't understand how the boss dies instantly in that stage. However, you said this was a 2-player run. I didn't see you use the second player at any time. EDIT: I watched the wrong version of the run, which is why I thought it was 1-player. I'll check the right version out later.
Used to be a frequent submissions commenter. My new computer has had some issues running emulators, so I've been here more sporadically. Still haven't gotten around to actually TASing yet... I was going to improve Kid Dracula for GB. It seems I was beaten to it, though, with a recent awesome run by Hetfield90 and StarvinStruthers. (http://tasvideos.org/2928M.html.) Thanks to goofydylan8 for running Gargoyle's Quest 2 because I mentioned the game!

You went from a re-record count of 1 to 6049 and double video length. Are you just submitting multiple WIPs? That queue is for finished products.
Working on a mod of an old favorite in my spare time. PM for updates!

This game sucks. I'm voting meh since there's already a movie of this game published.

Well, the 2:15 run and this were submitted on the same second lol, so no, I doubt it.

Oh, you mean the two players are overlapped most of the time? Hmm... Well, that definitely hurts entertainment, though I guess it also removes some lag. Still, I wish the second player could be used more interestingly. EDIT: I probably watched the wrong movie. I'll update my comments later.

Ok, I am confused. When I see the run, the two players are always apart. Here is a screencap from the movie.

Huh, maybe I watched an old version of the movie... oops. I only saw one player. I'll rewatch this later tonight and check this out properly. Sorry about that. EDIT: Ok, now I watched the correct run. This is a lot more fun than the old run, with the 2nd player doing lots of glitchy poses and destroying more enemies behind you. Stage 4 is still really confusing (but in a good way). Nice job Marx, and you get a Yes vote.

HD'ing.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

the reason why i turn back for few steps in stage 4 was for that pumping machine. It didn't waste any frame since i wait again for electricity actually, stage 5 was really broken Because lags was involved

I agree with mklip2011 that this is a lot better than the original run. There's a lot more entertaining action happening on the screen with two players. This game doesn't look so horrible now. Good run, Marx.
