I think i'm nearing a completed result. http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/download/16481722568167836 I just went straight for the brain at the end this time, and still got no damage. handled the kangaroos much better and shortened the run down to 14:14:400.

Like you say it looks way better now that you handle the kangaroos differently. Another thing I just saw is that the brain dies when all the enemies are killed off. If you watch the RAM you can easily see this. So I was wondering if it is faster to only go for the enemies and not shoot the brain at all perhaps? Might be that it is only faster in a 2-player run that one goes for the brain itself and the other player goes for the enemies. I smell submission time. :)

Would be faster if you regroup the enemies in the same spot and kill them at the same time..? Anyway, this game looks interesting and is one of my childhood games, maybe I will start to work in a 2P run in the future.

Even with cheats, I remember the last level being a slog and a half... This would be a rad place for any "entertainment" to come into play. There's not a lot to do, though, is there? :\

I planned to have two players to start TAS together in Alien Storm. Can we use two players to TAS Alien Storm?

Obviously you can use 2 players, but I think is better going for the arcade version of this game, the arcade version have more content, levels, the first boss has 3 phases instead of 2 here, and you can use the 3 characters at the same time. So personally I preffer TASing the arcade version of that game for this reasons.
