I did vote yes (entertaining enough for me; especially liked the fight against Kang).

:-( no good! i know the game is crap (but the tas isn't) - never liked it (back in schools time) and always preferred the predecessor (that's why i don't even try to finish this). greetings of the season

i do know this game somewhat well, because at the time it was published, i was in love with it and liked to play it (and still remember the 'moves'). 1. it was very sluggish on the actual device too 2. sometimes this did even help (level 3) @arukAdo from what did you get the boost while climbing up some ropes (level 1) and how did you manage to deliver that much impact on the level 3 boss ('death bat', had to look it up though, bec. cartridge is lost) and dracula with your whip? anyway: i don't like the annoying clours* but i do like your run and would've voted yes. ps *these colours need to be fixed in favour for a solid grey-scale! cheers EDIT: i was granted voting rights (?!), so i did vote 'yes'

Twelvepack, "enemy-soldier" I understand that you are in trouble to get a profound information/insight in these international regulatories-and it seems, that wikipedia as a source is not sufficient (for you) in this case. Please keep official terms and prevent inventing some new ones resp., don't reuse the irritating terms of the Bush administration, because they have proved to be unsuitable. I would (does not mean anything, of course) even consider the people in Guantanamo as combatants, because they represent/-ed the armed force of their government which was built by the Taliban-like it or not (a Taliban minister of cultural[?]) affairs visited once the state of Texas-there was a consense, I think, that this person was somewhat like a lawful representative of his state (Afghanistan), and not something like the son of ploppy the slopper, meaning ploppy himself-the jailor. But this is all history, and the states would like to keep their good Uyghur people now (to prevent evil new axis of evil China evil to chop their evil heads of for being not so chinese but rather evil panislamic)-the rest of the evil innocent (but obviously unuyghuric) will be shipped to us-the evil EU. Greetings from the former evil etc.

As I was in the army (german) we had several reads through the Geneva Convention and 'Haager Landkriegsordnung' etc.-nowhere 'enemy combatants' as a phrase occured (I believe the bush-admnistration invented the term, to keep the suspects out of the scope of these international laws, meaning they aren't/weren't POW...). You'll find combatant/non-combatant though-but even a non-combatant can't be kept 'forever' whithout anything remotely connected to a 'fair' trial/verdict.

Reducing the frequency (to 22050) should not be neccessary-try to strip the audio from the movie and encode them seperately: i.e. use vorbis (or other codecs at 32kbps/lower) for audio and x264 (2pass/or 3pass, dis-/-enable multithreading, try various subpixelrefinement settings, etc-there are a bunch of options: search, quantizer...). A bitrate of 300-320kps should be enough for Gens-movies; for GBA 260-310 (my experience)-but it really depends on the game (details [the game world], speed of moving objects); for NES-Videos I do not know. After encoding simply put the two streams in a mkv container together with the subtext files. Play with antialias too perhaps.

Maybe it helps to simply rename the file from: monopoly-tasv5-acmlm.avi.MP4 to *.mp4 or to encode it by yourself (with the free x264 video codec compliant to the h264 standard+soundfile in mp3, aac, etc.) from the emulator and put it in the mp4 container.

I'm glad you've finished this TAS. Very nice to watch and impressing that you've kept it under 10 minutes/no damage was taken. But where are the voters? Please, come on...it's a classic for the GameBoy (TM)! cheers

Hi, I thought I know this game-but it seems, that I didn't. The shortcut in stage 4 is very smart indeed. Another pleasure would be to see the toads catapult you (at the very beginning in plant castle) to the door. I am sure you tested this, and realized that it wouldn't make a timerelating difference, would it? Well. Very nice game and a clever TAS. Thanks.

hi, this is a nice little game (and short), and having in mind, that the gameboy section has only a few entries so far, there's nothing wrong to TAS this one. I encourage you to procede (but I can not give you any hints)-because it looks well and very promising.

Hello, It's not neccessary instead of dealing with the thrustworthy criterias to judge the quality of FODAs serious attempt to deliver us, the community, with a rather interesting interpretation of sexual preferences (anus fixation and other things) of mutated weirdos in a sick 2d pixelworld (questionable setting and some historia for free), and nice hand-to-hand-combatscenes, to oddly stretch the disussion to the impact which his gesamtkunstwerk might have to the sexualisation of kids and therefore it's common danger. (true "story", eyewitnessed in my local zoo): Little girl together with it's granma. They are watching a couple of chimps in a cage. Suddenly (for the scientists maybe interesting: ad hoc/without any foreplay) the chimps decided to have some fun (in public though). The girl's question "what they're doing?" was adequatly met by granmas reposte "just sitting!". No further questions. But I have to admit, that there was of course no possible friction/confusion with some gayness. I presume that that's the point here (friction through some gayness). kids Besides, the internet itself should considered to be not a suitable world for a KID at all, it is per se a place for elder ones ( kids have to play outside, football or something; they should read books, develop/improve their social and other skills and not seeing some punks amusingly beaten up by a wrestler named max [my favourite btw.], not until a certain age. But i think that when they finally have reached the appropriate ages for being prepared to see punks amusingly beaten up by a wrestler named max, they can stand also FODAs fine work. Even it's SHAMEFUL gayness! (Yes vote) You will never catch me with my trowsers down!

Hi dacicus, good work and very enjoyable to watch-but maybe it's worth a consideration and a closer look, instead of going back through some suspicious cellars (frame 9860), to take the path above. Trying this myself saves ~120 frames. Nevertheless, if I could give a vote, it would be a yes.
