Excelent run. I have to say, I'm excited to see all of these classic DOS games (that I never knew anyone else ever actually played) showing up here. I can't wait for the next!

I just registered an account on these forums in order to comment on this TAS. I grew up with this game, and NES Star Wars is, in many ways, the embodiment of Nintendo Hard. The game is so full of dead ends, confusing pathways, and different ways to kill you that not even a Game Genie can save you from its wrath. Did I mention that you only get a few lives, and the supporting characters (yes, Han, and Leia are playable characters) have one non-replenishing health bar each? I believe I beat this game once, many years ago, and never again had the patience to try. But it is great to see this game owned so thoroughly. I didn't even know that the Princess was optional... and I'm going to guess that Han is still drinking his liver out in Mos Eisley. To those who haven't played the game, you are actually expected to make use of the "unusual" flying/falling-with-style physics to solve the platform puzzles in some stages. However, I always thought that Luke's "flying" pose looks more like a "rocking out in midair" pose. Yay.
