BC's Quest For Tires (Commodore 64)

Tools Used

  • BizHawk 2.9.0

Effort In TASing

Because a version existed for the Colecovision, I wanted to get the C64 done. This version is less exciting, as it lack speed mostly. Other mechanical differences exist though..listed below.
  • Jumping (side to side movement) was locked to the screen scrolling, unlike the Colecovision where there is about half of that speed (better in my opinion).
  • Air hang time, is shorter. Colecovision is much longer and gives better obstacle avoidance.
  • Acceleration was extremely slow. Colecovision is once again the faster running game and more worth a TAS.

I had an idea that the C64 version could be improved, by ending input earlier; however, the Colecovision version took my attention away from this one, once I improved it. Good job on finding that DrD2k9. Please set to "New", for someone else to judge.
I recently discovered that if you haven't reached a level of frustration with TASing any game, then you haven't done your due diligence. ---- SOYZA: Are you playing a game? NYMX: I'm not playing a game, I'm TASing. SOYZA: Oh...so its not a game...Its for real? ---- Anybody got a Quantum computer I can borrow for 20 minutes? Nevermind...eien's 64 core machine will do. :) ---- BOTing will be the end of all games. --NYMX
