Totally Toobular! This game actually doesn't look all that bad, graphically speaking. The music is fairly decent too IMO. I can't say this game is an accurate representation of any of my past experiences toobin' down a river. I think I'm probably going to vote yes on this. I do have a question though, when it comes to going though those gate things, you seem to not do a very consistent job of either skipping them all or going through them. Is there any reason why sometimes you do go through them and sometimes you don't?
My user name is rather long, feel free to call me by htwt or tape.

This game is very weird. It looks OK, I guess. I'm pretty sure going through the gates is not the primary goal, so that explains the inconsistency. By the way, on the Front Page, it says "NES Toobin' (any) by in 07:29.84", since the author nickname field is blank. Maybe it should use the author real name field if the nickname field is blank.

Anyone else notice the number of pistol wielding sombrero clad persons on the Rio Grand? Good ol' fashioned political incorrectness! Yes vote.

This game is very weird and scares me on some kind of deep level. Meh for entertainment, yes for publication!

If the arcade version ever gets a TAS, it should obslete this run. Entertainment for me was meh. It's good enough for a TAS, I guess. Due to the suicidal method of getting through the level.
When TAS does Quake 1, SDA will declare war. The Prince doth arrive he doth please.

In my headcanon, Tengen is known for making some pretty strangely-executed and frustrating games. (IIRC, they also made "Road Runner," which was also a pain in the ass.) So when I saw this, I knew I had to give it a watch. Toobin' guy is pretty cool. Eh toobs and doesn't afraid of killin' stuff by littering. (Remember kids, only this dude's allowed to litter, because he's just that awesome.) Then again, I've never seen a single tuber have to deal with as much crap as this guy does. This seems to be well-executed for a TAS that attempts to beat the game as fast as possible with no real frills. I voted Meh on entertainment; it'd maybe be a No, but the game choice lends it interest, and seeing it beaten so fast without getting hit is pretty nifty. Perhaps a maximum score run would be more interesting/entertaining to watch; hard to really say. If such a publication were made, depending how it worked out, it might qualify for a higher tier; however, as it stands, I can't see this branch of this game going anywhere but the Vault. So my personal recommendation is to publish this submission to the Vault tier.
1/60 of a second is important; every frame matters.
