I couldn't find the PC Engine Wishlist thread. One game I would be interested in is Fushigi no Yume no Alice, a short platformer.
I like Doraemon, cats and arcade games.

Exotic platforms TAS of 2024 SNES TASer of 2023 Sega TASer of 2022 GBA TASer of 2022
One game I've wanted to see done in any capacity is Kaizou Choujin Shubibinman. That game has multiple branching paths and upgrades, so it'd be interesting what the fastest route could be. There's also simultaneous two player mode but I don't remember if they both share the same life bar or not.

Recently did an RTA run of Shape Shifter. Pretty neat Metroidvania style game, with animal transformations. This was the route I use, but I have an idea for a theoretical Any% route that is too hard/unrealistic for RTA - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bX5NVMREB8

The Addams Family - pretty simple game, run around and get a bunch of keys and fight a handful of bosses. Lots of time to save getting good boss fights. On the boat part where I take a lot of damage, I believe if you frame perfect jump off the water you might not take damage, it would happen occasionally using turbo. Also dying into a screen transition skips the death animation and reloading, so it instantly takes a life and gives a full health refill on the next screen.

Götzendiener PCE CD, fairly short and simple adventure/puzzle game. Not much to the game, so it's mostly walking around. I think my route is solid, but I could have missed something, especially on the falling cave part. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yji6syBxr2g

Makai Prince Dorabocchan on PC Engine, a basic platformer. There are red armor powerups which make your shot much stronger, so I'd guess a TAS would keep it the whole run. Bosses seem to be pretty random, I didn't find a good strat for Stage 4 boss. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ho_4MNysaAw

One game that would be cool to see a TAS of is Zipang. It's essentially a reskin of Solomon's Key, but with different levels.
SMB2U is the best NES Mario game.

Aoi Blink/Blue Blink on PC Engine. Fairly straightforward platformer. Goal for every world is to get the Red key to open the boss door, then beat the boss. Stages are short, most of the run is boss fights, which I know can be faster than my run, especially the final boss. I think drops are potentially deterministic? So it might be possible to manip feathers/stars where you need them. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1EH1iM6KC4

Doraemon: Nobita no Dorabian Night on PCE, a basic platformer. There is a HuCard and a CD version but I think the HuCard is faster, only real difference is voiced cutscenes and some slightly updated graphics. 17 stages, mostly just run thru them. Grab the Take-copter on some stages. I pick up a couple powerups early for use in 2 later stages, in 3-3 I use the Time Watch and Barrier to avoid waiting for skeletons, and Barrier Bag on 4-1, but this one is technically not necessary. There is also a Brown boots powerup which I think makes you run faster for a limited time, but not sure it's worth the time to get them, it didn't seem to be on the final stage.

Hihou Densetsu: Chris no Bouken on PCE CD, a basic, slow moving platformer. 8 areas of 2 stages each, and stages are short. I get the purple beam weapon, red and blue orb, because the range is best. All the weapons seem to do the same damage, even powered up. Enemy drops seem random but might be based on when you kill the enemy. Bosses are super easy.

Tiger Road, port of the arcade game, but pretty different. 5 stages. Stage 4 has an alternate path and stage 5 has 2 alternate paths, and I think I take the fastest. Enemy spawns are mostly deterministic, they behave the same if you do the same thing, but a few things seem random. First boss is heavy RNG, in a savestate it seems like it can do any of the 3 moves based on how you move. I did happen to noticed I accidentally did some sort of crit on the first boss. There is some sort of frame if you hit them it does 6-8 damage and they fly back, but I couldn't find anything consistent with it. I also do the monk mini games, if you do both you get double damage in the final stage. At least for RTA, it definitely seemed worth the time loss, the final boss is scary and slow without it. But it might be faster to fail the mini games for a TAS. And I tried the PC Engine version and it's much harder, certain screens have a ton more enemies throughout, for example even just the 2nd screen of stage 1.

Obocchama-kun, linear platformer, run to the right. 4 worlds of 4 stages each. Hold Down to be the dog? form, which runs faster but jumps lower. If you are on the descent of your jump you will always bounce on an enemy, similar to Mario 1. Throughout the stages are blue turtle shells, if you press Up on or under them a powerup will appear, which are very helpful for RTA, but I'd guess most aren't necessary for a TAS.

Ordyne, a basic shmup. Not really any lag in the game, and you can just turbo in the face of bosses. I opt to stop in the shop near the end to get the fire bomb powerup to help with a couple fights, but it might not be fastest. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JnW-Z985N8
