To my great surprise, no one has nominated FractalFusion. But then, I suppose no one has made a Pokémon TAS and learned how unbelievably hard they are. The only people with published Pokémon TASes - Primorial#soup, Tilus, FractalFusion, and KirbyMuncher, have not posted here yet. We are the only ones who know how hard it is to make a solid run for a Pokémon game. FractalFusion is notable because he has 2 published runs and is working on a 3rd, whereas the closest anyone else has come is Primo, with 2 published runs of the same Pokémon game.

Jurassic Park. As Zurreco said, "This is the classic case of a bad game being played well". I think after making the Pokémon Red TAS, I'll fiddle around in the game looking for bugs. I suspect there might be a "pause glitch" like in MegaMan. If there is, I'll remake the run, hopefully saving several minutes and allowing it to be published. EDIT: BAD game played well, not GOOD game. Thanks for pointing out the typo.

There is just so much potential in a PC emulator. There are many more games for PC than for all the console systems. How far in the future do you think emulation of Windows 98 is? Once they get it, I'm taking the Impossible Creatures campaign. Then Age of Mythology.

IIRC, you'll make the Wario Land 3 run after you make your Fire Emblem run, which you'll make after your Winnie the Poo run. Maybe you should make topics as the runs come, not all in one fell swoop.

I'm excited for the future too. Hopefully we'll get to the point where we can emulate windows ME reliably within a few years. I'm definitely going to TAS Impossible Creatures. All long journeys begin with a single step, and this is that first step. Of course, some day all our work in TASing will be moot when a handheld computer can bot Chrono Trigger in 5 minutes. But hopefully that won't happen until well after windows ME emulation - Route planning the IC campaign TAS would be fun.

This video won't be made unless there's a way to play the AVIs from this site on iMovie. Someone needs to suggest either a codec or a new video editing program entirely.

Aw, crap. I searched "Dodgeball" but not "Dodge Ball", then I looked around for a dodgeball game and found "Super Dodge Ball". Whoops. But I must say, the run is almost exactly like I envisioned it.

This would be a great TAS. I think I can crank it out in a couple days after the completion of my Pokémon Red run. Basically, it's a dodgeball game where opponents have health and you have to throw a volleyball at them until they die. If you run the right distance and throw, you do a special attack which can hit all 3 enemies. You can luck-manipulate the damage done. Basically, the plan for each level (there are 8, I think) is to throw a super-attack to cream all the opponents with max damage, then a guy behind the enemies (WTF?) throws the ball back. Repeat. It would be entertaining because it would last well under 5 minutes.

Wow, FractalFusion. You just finished the Pokemon Yellow run. You're a machine! Think you might redo the Pokemon Gold run after this?

Sorry about all this. I'd like to get the discussion back on track by repeating my above post about Zoombini: There's a game I used to play when I was a kid: Zoombini. It can be done on Win95, so that's okay. Basically, there are these little blue guys. You have to solve a variety of puzzles to get there. It would get pretty funny, as you solve the puzzles instantly and watch all the zoombinis (zoombinies?) walk into place.

Well, I suppose you'll have to wait until at least after April Fool's day... I'm planning to send in my Pokemon Red run then, so everyone thinks it's a bad joke when they see how much shorter it is than the current record.

I know that SNESx9 1.43 has rerecording, but I don't think it has frame advance. Are there any emulators for Mac with rerecording and frame advance?

Here's a thought: Make it so 2 buttons can fire weapons (maybe for an N64 game, with C buttons) and no limit on rapidfire, so you can shoot at 60 hertz.

Bisqwit made a "without B" movie. Theoretically, you could take that input file and hastily splice the left button everywhere, thus a "moonwalking" run. EDIT: Since mario 1 has been done like that, you should do the Lost Levels moonwalking.

F**k. I have a new mac with Intel, but my mom won't let me put windows on it. I wanted to be able to run N64 games at my mom's house and run GB games at my dad's.

Impossible Creatures and Age of Mythology campaigns. Impossible Creatures should be done first.

By "quit", do you mean he should stop working on the run?

So... could you TAS a game like Impossible Creatures? THAT would be very o_0. Imagine a TAS of the entire IC campaign... If that's possible, I should try it... Or, imagine a TAS of All the Right Type. You'd set the word per minute goal at 999, then go crazy.
