Those maps are awesome. I can ogle at them for hours. They're beautiful. I've even contributed 2 maps to the site. If a map is missing, don't just whine about it. Make it yourself and send it over.

Diablo 1 with three players (one of each class). That would be intense. Edit: and naturally, I mean playing by "ironman" rules, which means you can't ever go back to town after entering the dungeon. (and no restarting in town if you die)

Since Arc's latest submission hadn't been published yet, I'm compelled to vote yes. One frame isn't much of an improvement, but it seems to me like it's impossible to squeeze any more off this game. Of course, someone is just bound to make a 1-frame-shorter movie after this one gets published.

I think pretty much every Famtasia movie is improvable, even if it's only because of the super perfect maneuvers allowed by frame advence. Except Contra, that game has been squeezed dry of frames. The Super Mario Bros. 3 warpless run is especially improvable. Probably by several minutes since it's so long.

Nobody has done Solar Jetman yet, although I think someone made a test run a while ago. I would also like to see a run of "The Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy". I'm not sure if either of those games count as "classic", but... And where the hell is that Lolo 3 run someone was working on? I'm still waiting for that one...

Why you! Now I have to redo the whole movie! Thanks for pointing it out, though. I'll just leave the submission open because it's going to take a VERY long time. I hate this game so much at the moment. I'm probably not even going to start for a few weeks. Stupid stupid game! Why can't you behave? I wonder if there are other bugs I don't know about.

Yeah, swimming is painfully slow. I made the mistake of not optimizing it as much as I should have, though. It could probably be done a little faster. The swimming part is sooooo boring...

That was better than I expected it to be. Very weird, though.

Hmm, if it's a good glitch, and someone figures out how it works to apply it to other places, and can break the game enough, it might barely reach the level of "mostly boring, but some parts are mildly interesting". I'm not sure if it's worth the effort, but good luck!

Super Mario 1 and Kung Fu is the way to go. Especially since you're walking in opposite directions! Should be interesting... Edit: No, I have a better idea. How about SMB1 and Excitebike. A cheap trick would be to get the game to pause for one game and not the other, then play the game that didn't pause, and after that one is finished, unpause and finish the other one. But that would be considered cheap, not cool, etc. There's also the super ultimate ridiculusness challence. Make a movie that completes all 6 NES Mega Man games. Yeah, right! Good luck with that one.

It wouldn't even have to store a savestate for every frame. How about just storing a state every 100 frames and then when the "player" wants to rewind 1 frame, just reload the most recent one and advance the required number of frames. Basically just automate the "start playing movie in read-only, load from recent savestate (if available), save state, start playing again, load state". It would be slower and more complicated and probably not fesible at all, but possible...

Hmm, I thought I might bump this to let you all know I did one more level. (same link as the first one). I'm halfway through the game and I already see a whole lot of flaws in my movie. Maybe I won't submit this one after all. But I'm still going to finish it. Edit: the run is finished and I'm satisfied. I may have exaggerated the flawness of my movie. It's actually pretty awesome. Go look in the submission pile.

Totally amazing movie. The best ghost fight ever, best Bowser fight ever, and all that. This is what timeattacks/tool-assisted speedruns/whatever they're called now are all about.

Actually, if it worked like I said, Mega Man would be permanently embedded at the beginning, so I have no idea.

Whenever a pixel changes, it's given a set number of frames to live, and when it expires, it's changed to the original image's equalent pixel. If it is changed again before it expires, the "frames to live" is reset. Seems to work like that to me...

I say make full use of it. However, if the game can be severely broken by doing this (ALttP), it should be a seperate category for that game.

It's bad enough when you have this feeling in games. How about in real life. While driving. Yeah, I had that once for a split second.

In my experience, it's best to use a keyboard. If you have a newish one, you probably can't hold down too many buttons at once, but I found it to be good to use the arrow keys for the directions, X and C for A and B, and TAB for frame advance. Then set SPACE to pause/unpause, S for save, Delete for load and whatever buttons you feel like for start/select (V and B are good). I tried using a SNES gamepad once, but it felt very imprecise and awkward. OFF TOPIC: Is this a good time to brag about my keyboard? Since my friend spilled soda on two of my previous ones, I'm now using an ancient relic I found in some "all kinds of crap" store (don't know what they're called). I realized just now that I can press as many buttons at once as I want! Pretty neat, huh? Also, the spacebar is REALLY FREAKING LONG. Damn, I love my keyboard. If I ruin this one, I'm going to kill myself.

You know, Starcraft/Brood War has a replay feature now, so theoretically, it would be possible to cook up an amazing replay file that could have all the characteristics of a tool-assisted movie. But I doubt anyone will ever be able to do that... It should definitely end in all players eliminating each others at the same time. It's possible and has happened before.

I think you should use the frog suit in a place where it would normally be TOTALLY inappropriate. Like when there's a long string of levels that have absolutely NO water in them. Nice movie so far, keep going. :)

Just in case anyone is interested, I made a rather crappy speedrun through the whole game. I made a thread about it on the SDA forum, you can find it here: http://speeddemosarchive.com/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=other_games;action=display;num=1115512590 The best segments are #16 (secret cave) and #18 (hell) (even though I suck). Actually, this speedrun is pretty crappy overall but this thread seemed like a good place to post. (yeah, I also like to brag, so ... bleh)

Oh wait, I forgot to mention one thing. Was that a stray shot a the end of the second level of world 8? (the ship) Or did I miss something? Not that it would change my vote, the movie is amazing!
