How about a TAS from the game dragon spirit the new legend? Here is some links to some pictures for those who have not seen this game yet: http://www.consoleclassix.com/info_img/Dragon_Spirit_NES_ScreenShot1.jpg http://www.consoleclassix.com/info_img/Dragon_Spirit_NES_ScreenShot2.jpg The genre is shooter and its auto-scrolling for those who wants to know. I think many people will think its awesome. I think it reminds of zanac only with a dragon.

I don't think many people are interested in TASes for autoscrollers.

This game is a great game, but it's not TAS material. Even if you went with the short path, and got the gold dragon, the game progresses too slowly. I'm pretty sure there was an old topic where people discussed this, and came to the same conclusion.

This is a neat game and very original for a shooter, but just not right for a TAS. I actually own the cartridge and have played through it on console, but I don't think I'd want to watch a TAS. The different dragon powers are pretty cool though.

I actually briefly worked on a TAS for this game. I got the intro and first level done, went back and watched it, and realized that it was largely quite boring. The only parts that seemed to really be optimizable speedwise were the boss fights, and even on a console those generally go pretty quickly and uneventfully in the first place.
