I haven't watched this yet, but I don't know why it should appear as a concept demo. Is the glitched A Link to the Past run in the hacks/concept demos section?
The absolute best according my old C64 magazines is "Little Computer People", but I don't know if it would be interesting to record a video of it, as it plays like a (much better) Tamagotchi.
EDIT: My personal favorites are the beautiful "Sindbad and the Throne of the Falcon", followed by "Archon" and "Snake Pit".
Never knowed Sinbad but the pics in lemon looks cool. Is that an adventure or more an Jump N Run game ? Archon comes with the december update. Archon 1 and 2 are here as savestates from other guys.
Sindbad is a mix between a strategy game, and an action-adventure game. There is a Pc version with uglier graphics, but the fights are easier to understand.
The strategy part can be accesed from your emerald. You must move the princess guards to protect the tower from the black ¿vizier?. You can't beat that part of the game, the purpose is to gain you enough time so that you can finish all your travels and return to the tower.
I've never beaten that game, because I did something very stupid when I was returning to the tower and died crushing the ship with a rock. That mini-game shouldn't have appeared, as I used the right wish for the genie, but it seems that it couldn't be avoided. :(

I paste this if for some reason you missed it (not to repeat myself or implying that I'm more right on wrong on this)

On second watch, there are a few things that I didn't like as much. The first level would look better if it started playing as a "normal" speedrunner to trick people, much like Morimoto did. You go too much in small circles on that level, too. Killing a few ships more (specially at start) would also have been nice. You don't have to rush too soon on your godly speed.
I guess Phil concerns are more or less like mine. The wobbling on stage 1 feels unnecesary, I think you start moving at full speed too soon, and it's true that I enjoyed more the volcano part on Morimoto's movie, I think it's because he seems to be always on the center of the screen avoiding all rocks. I also prefered how Morimoto killed the ships at the start, more elegant than fast.
I also think your run is damn cool afterwards. Specially when you hide on the web, write letters on screen, and kill the lagious monsters in no time. Just giving feedback. :)

The sudden death also breaks all the rythm of the movie. I can understand leveling up again the ship and how it becomes faster, but it looks ugly. Maybe you could act like a top ace avoiding a missing shot, and then be killed by it moving backwards once you have long passed it, I don't know. : /
Voting yes anyways because the rest of the movie is so awesome.
Voting yes, the speed is ludicruous and the playarounds during the scoring steps were very funny. Did you try to sync the sonic stalling animation with the one from the life bonus?
Didn't Bisqwit make a TAS himself on Spy vs Spy? I think you can find it alongside other rejected time-attacks.
If you haven't watched it, it might interest you.
It has been a lot since I watched Phil's run, but I don't remember I was enjoyed as much as with your WIP. Very solid work, indeed.
It's a shame Link is doomed at the end. Not all movies have a happy ending.
I would go further. I think no videogames/motherboard models/CD tracks belongs to Wikipedia. They should be on another Wiki related to videogames/hardware/music/etc.
This movie is wonderful! It has bird-avoiding, ninja stars, bullet-jumping, walking backwards, unexpected glitches, wall crossing and boss-ownage. Plus, it is even faster than the previous submission by a whole lot.
I have enjoyed the run the whole time, even though I had already seen all submitted movies since Blotr's classic. You deserve not one, but two thumbs up. Congratulations!
A must watch, in my opinion.
I wrote time ago a tutorial about what I learned about Dynamism. It's in Spanish, so I thought it wouldn't be useful to you. If you are interested, I could give you some basic notions about it. Nothing too profesional, it's just that nobody teachs about it and I had to write my notes myself. :-)

Weird, I thought I searched all the list before writing it here. o_O
I would suggest Line-Kill Spirits, too:

The Ultimate Panty-shot Fighting Game.
EDIT: If you are going to talk about Wizball, without a doubt one of the weirdest games I've ever played, use screenshots from the Commodore Amiga. They are a lot better.
Some weird adventure games:
- Loom (Pc)
- Curse of Enchantia (Pc)
- Bad Mojo (Pc) <-- This one is already in the list, I just want to bold its weirdness.
- Gobliiins 2 (Pc)
I suggest Takeshi no Chousenjou (NES). You can learn more about this game here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeshi_no_Chousenjou
Also, Golden Goblins (Amiga), a sport game in which you have to throw Belons (a race of sentient balls) to the face of your opponent.
And the best Tamagotchi ever, Little Computer People - pet person - (Commodore 64).
