As you might have noticed (or not), I added and removed some movies from the impure category (
http://tasvideos.org/Movies-Hacks.html ). This category was also called the "concept demo category"; however the name is not actually binding, as it is actually called "movies of hacked games and other demonstrations".
For now, I have made the following changes:
- I removed the F-Zero movie. Inclusion of the F-Zero movie was presumably due to being a very specific demonstration (racing game, one level only, no game end). However, there are other movies, such as Zanac (one level only, although game end), Minesweeper (one level only, trivial game end), and movies that play one mode (too many to name, specific mode, no real ending). Their inclusion is also arguable, but there are a lot of them. Thus currently, "very specific demonstration" is not a criterion.
- I inserted all movies listed under
http://tasvideos.org/Movies-C4015Y.html (movies that start from savestate or SRAM), regardless of whether it is savestate or SRAM, or verified or not. This includes Super Mario Kart and Mario Land hard mode. Before then, the inclusion of such movies was mostly inconsistent. Currently, "starts from savestate or SRAM" is a criterion. Note that currently Mega Man Xtreme and Super Mario Kart are the only unverified ones.
No other changes were made. All movies of hacks remain. All multigame movies remain. The Star Fox 2 movie, which I had originally considered included because it was unreleased, was actually included because it is considered a hack. Thus the non-inclusion of EarthBound Zero (U version), which is also unreleased, is reconciled. Of course, one can question whether it should be included anyway.
Current criteria:
- is a hack
- is a multigame movie
- starts from savestate or SRAM
This is by no means a final set of criteria (unless no one cares), so you may discuss.
This game is glitched...
Anyway, it's too bad that most of the movie was the glitch over and over, because I liked it.
