Nah, too simplistic for an AAA title.
Apparently you missed the part where I said, "fully fleshed out," AKA not a simple flash game.

For those of you clamoring for a commercially released video game, maybe what we need to campaign for is a fully fleshed out Power Ponies title.

As much as I'd prefer to have this be the main movie on this site, I think it's just not worth the hassle of everybody fighting over it to really argue for obsoletion. At this point, I think the best solution might be to have a little blurb in the existing movie description that mentions and provides a link to what the final boss would look like without waiting.

Isn't there a cheat you can enter to make the game even harder?

There is no defeating this boss without running out the timer.
Don't be too certain about that. I'm with many others here. I like this run a lot, but the final boss just looks lazy.

Very nice, but you kinda lost me when you left the game running for a solid three minutes at the end. Looks very poor in my opinion.

I don't mean it so literally, but it is a 20 minute drive.

So, in about a month, a major convention will be going down almost up the street from where I live. My question to you: Should I stay or should I go?

Since you're running through the game more than once, wouldn't it be best to snag the phone, place the call, then go around collecting things while the timer counts down?

Does it do no good to start with the last prison camp, shooting the other three along the way, to give the POWs a chance to wander towards the embassy?

If max score was the main goal and speed tradeoffs (assuming climbing down is slower) were used to achieve that goal, then this should be published with the branch name "maximum score", right?
Exactly what I was thinking. "Max score" seems more descriptive.

Also, I wonder if someone would make a ponyfied hack of Zelda II.
I wasn't aware there was still a demand for simple sprite hacks since Nesticle has been long dead. Alternatively... Link to video

I'm almost willing to bet that the fine folks at FurAffinity will be the ones who carry this project through.

NES Arkanoid comes with a paddle controller that allows you to do the same. :)
Is this supported by one of our current emulators?

Well, I suppose if you want to get results, you need to leave the "n" out of "equestrian."

The better question is, why are you looking for equestrian clothing?

Posting this here mostly for discussion. What is the sum of all positive integers? The answer, if there is one, just might surprise you!

This game is incredibly long and repetitive. The creators really lacked any kind of inspiration or motivation.
I might actually disagree with this one. If you look closely, you can tell there was some degree of ambition on the part of the developers. There's the entire cityscape of Metropolis sitting in the cartridge, for crying out loud! It's almost as if the developers were trying to go for a more open, free roaming game, but either got in over their heads or had to keep beating the WB executives back, and as such their dream wasn't fully realized until the "sandbox" genre of videogames became more popular in later generations. So I would argue it's not lack of motivation or inspiration that killed the game, but a troubled development cycle.

Here's a fun challenge. Skip to a random point in the encode. See how many times you don't end up in a ring challenge. It's a lot harder than you think.

Still it's way closer to being possible than the situation with the floating house in Up. I read somewhere that it would require roughly ten thousand the number of balloons depicted onscreen to get a house to float in air in real life.
Not to mention the strings would have to be evenly spread across the whole foundation, and not just the iron grate in the fire place that holds the burning logs. Whatever that part is called.

I haven't watched, but I just wanna say that in high school, I knew someone who actually loved this game. I think he was being sincere about it. That is all.

Should the game be referred to as Superman 64 or its official name (Superman: The New Adventures)?
I'm reading that the title is The New Superman Aventures. No 'd'.

Maybe it'd work better if you pretend Pinkie Pie wrote it.

Let's see, doing a little googling here, making a few assumptions... Boyle's Law is the key here. A cursory web search shows about 2.4 cubic feet internal volume per tire, so 9.6 cubic feet for all four tires. Typical tire pressure is 30 PSI gauge, or ~45 PSI absolute. Let's make things simple and assume the air is being released to atmospheric pressure, which is ~15 PSIa. So: 45 PSIa * 9.6 ft^3 = 15 PSIa * volume of released air This gives us 28.8 cubic feet of air when released out of the tire. Next step is to apply Archimedes' principle and figure out how much water gets displaced by 28.8 cubic feet of air. We'll go with 62.3 lbs per cubic foot of water. 62.3 lb/ft^3 * 28.8 ft^3 = 1794.24 pounds of displaced water. So, if my ballpark math is correct, that's only a little more than half of the water you need displaced. So sadly, in spite of your impressive efforts, your car is doomed to sink. Please kindly correct me if I'm wrong about any of this. Edit: Crap, I forgot to add in the water displaced by the car itself. But I'm tired, and I'm not terribly sure it'd work.
