Spear of Destiny (1992) for DOS features copy protection mechanism which forces the player to answer some trivia questions using the game's manual on each game start-up. However, there are keywords which automatically mark the whole trivia as passed. May any of those be used in a TAS?
I recently completed this movie: #10017: eien86's DOS The Incredible Machine in 26:23.238 that contains the 87 puzzles of the original TIM game. However, now I see "The even more! Incredible Machine" that expands on the former game with 70 more puzzles using new pieces. In effect, the game is exactly the same as the original, but with more puzzles. However, it allows you to start from the puzzle #88, for players who have already completed the original. My question is: can I TAS this game starting from puzzle #88 as Standard, since I already beaten the origin 87 in the original? Or would this be considered Alt?
There's no way the same input will sync for the identical puzzles in both games right? If there was 1 movie for the fuller version that beats all levels, it'd likely obsolete the movie of the shorter game, but at the same time it'd be unfair to require a resync. I understand the goal but I'm having a hard time coming up with an appropriate name. Like, that name wouldn't mean much in the context of the game itself, because it's defined by another game (which is a different version).
