NES TAS of 2011
So I saw (to my absolute surprise) that my X-Men 2 maps got an award at VGMaps. http://www.vgmaps.com/forums/index.php?topic=2022.0 Wanted to share the enjoyment, and make a thread FWIW, since people might be interested in it, and lack some info we could have, so...
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.

I guess I might as well use this topic to give a shoutout to msxsolutions. If I want to TAS some obscure MSX game, I can be almost assured there's a map of it on this site. It's saved my hide several times by now.

I'm wondering whether someone is going to use your maps in non-TAS activities. Otherwise, they are pretty well made!
TASing is like making a film: only the best takes are shown in the final movie.

Probably not. I did them for TASing anyway :D All my maps are linked here: http://tasvideos.org/Feos.html (Side work tab)

You just made me want to play ZEN IN. I never knew it was actually a sidescroller. Why not make a hack that replaces that strange first level with a side scroller?

I made (and upgraded from some of Mike's, with permission) some maps for Zelda 2. Palaces Great Palace (found some jar locations that hadn't apparently been marked!) Routes out of the North Palace when loading that dodge all encounters A map showing the full extent of the walkable boots surfaces and a little animation showing the "beginner" All-Keys speedrun category route.
