This TAS has been cancelled due to its triviality.
About the Game(s):
“Action 52” is an unlicensed game made for the NES and Sega Genesis, featuring - you guessed it - 52 different video games. The NES version was published in 1991, whereas the Genesis version was published in 1993. Both versions were published by Active Enterprises.
“Dyno Tennis” (misspelling of “Dino Tennis”) is game 3/52 in the Genesis version of Action 52. In this game, 2 dinosaurs go head to head in a game of tennis. Instead of using a tennis ball, they bat a caveman around. You play as the orange dinosaur.
About the TAS:
This TAS aims to win the game.
Gameplay/Tech:
This TAS was extremely easy to make. All we have to do is select the game, which can be done in 404 frames including the opening screen. From there, we can let the game play out by itself and we end up winning 6-3.
Due to its triviality, this TAS cannot be improved. Thanks for reading.

LGR...I think this submission poses an acceptance issue. Since it is a short running game, I want to know if there is someway to correct this issue. The problem is that this game doesn't satisfy this rule: A video game poses a virtual task. It requires the player to accomplish some in-game job. Is there anything you can think of to make this faster, by getting one of the players to do something to accomplish the goal of winning?
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

well my original idea was to make a perfect 9/9 TAS, but that required a lot of RNG manipulation. plus, i may have eventually found a seed that requires no input anyway. this TAS was inspired by ShesChardcore's TAS of (https://tasvideos.org/5099M), which also does nothing in the actual game. it selects the optimal settings and lets the game play out by itself. EDIT: her Warlords TAS (https://tasvideos.org/4717M) also has no actual gameplay input.

I think the difference with those is that in the hockey game, while she is not playing, she fight against a CPU. As for Warlords, she does move a little bit for the position needed to win, and again, she's against CPUs, the objective is to beat them. In your TAS, you're beating a player 2 while doing nothing, so your TAS basically amount to selecting the game in the menu.
