https://morphcatgames.itch.io/micromages A new (homebrew) NES game with up to 4 player support. The game is mostly on auto-scroll, but it moves faster when the player(s) are up at the top of the screen, and probably the bosses are faster to take out with multiple players (I don't know myself). It's a fun game and it would be sweet to see a TAS being done.

NES TAS of 2011
Looks nice!
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.

Atari TAS of 2022
Link to video Link to video Link to video Seems to me like most of optimizing this game is just getting the scroll speed ($d0) to its maximum of 217 as quickly as possible and keeping it there. Also, there have been some zips found.

These do look fantastic, though I still feel like a 4-player TAS might be most interesting :)
