Remember when first CD games started appearing on PC and some local corsairs have put this game on 40+ something floppies... suffice to say not that many people took this title : D Overall, it's pretty funny, even if a little stale : P

VERY enjoyable watch, super easy Yes vote : ) Reminds of me of Henry's House, H.E.R.O. and some other good 8-bit titles.. : )

Even better than Skool Daze! : ) Always glad to see some authentic well-known 8-bit titles getting really well TAS'd! While I'm more of an Atari fan, seeing ZX's and C-64 games here is usually a guarantee of fun! That was a nice run to watch. Yes vote! : )

Wow! That is SOME game! Reminds me of a mix between Cave Story & Knytt (especially Knytt Stories) and Tower Toppler(/Nebulus) - and also somehow Little Big Adventure : ) Have to say, TAS only adds to the enjoyment. Easy Yes vote, this is just plainly enjoyable to watch : )

Hey man, late to the answer, but wanted to thank you for the info! : ) Never knew about such a possibility in ScummVM. Would like you like to showcase this, in case you'd want to? : ) With "learn draft", of course. That would be swell to watch. Likely the whole game would be finished... below a minute? : D Good luck with the runs, be it Loom or anything else, mate!

"Oh, brave Sir David!" : D This is splendid! Been waiting on this from the moment these first glitched 'mountain' runs started to appear, wondering how fast they would fare in ideal conditions. Well, I wonder no more... this is truly outstanding: less than 33 seconds in RTA time! (measured from accepting the created character until the loss of character control). Congratulations on this run! : ) And awaiting possible more craziness in both RTA and TAS departments in some future... : )

Hmm, bit mixed opinions on this one. I definitely love the fact you picked up this very title! At first I thought there's some C' f g c sorcery going on here, going straight to the Loom and somehow bypassing all of the game ; ), but it wasn't that. Also, your "Hopefully submission part 1 of 3" made me smile with a little sadness inside - unsure if that was intentional ; Loom was supposed to be the first chapter of a trilogy (or not ; Brian Moriarty himself seemed to speak in a different tone about it in different interviews), later parts telling of the Forge, and the Fold (with respectively Rusty and Fleece being their main characters). On the other hand, I would love to see the VGA version instead (even if it's longer indeed) and a slower rendition of this TAS rather than this, well, madness ; ) Watched on 0,25x it's tolerable somehow, but still is too fast : p Nevertheless, a Yes vote for encouragement : )

This is what was said, and falls under interpretation, as it has a different meaning. Being straight to the point when it comes to the run is exactly what it is, a criticism, even if not always the most constructive. Also from perspective, a few years ago it was not ok to be even somewhat slightly harsh to a person here, now - not even the product of this person. What's next? Feels like a poison of (political) correctness spreading further and further...

Calling this submission a "waste of time" is very unhelpful and at worst, may actively discourage the TASer from actually learning from their mistakes. In fact, darkman425 and KusogeMan already provided some pointers on where they could improve.
"Waste (loss) of time within the run" : > Some advice was left on YT video actually, where author actually responds.

Ooooh, such a treat. Also a childhood game, looked better on small Atari (65 (XL)/XE), was great shooting away, of course who cared it's war etc. ; ) The only thing that's just plainly stupid (but perhaps explained by the manual?) is destroying the old historical Greek-alike buildings in the center of the town instead of the grimy blocks. The TAS is, as one could guess, perfect. Super intensive, pleasure to watch, immensenly packed with action, 9 (?) blinking targets shot, superb overall. Easy Yes vote, good job man : )

Very wholesome TAS, if one can call them like that. Yes vote : )

Beautiful. A little like RTA, but also quite a bit more broken. Clear Yes vote : )

Great run, but the game itself, especially after all these years, seems a bit dull, even if I liked it back in the days more. It's not even the lack of colours compared to PC or Arcade version, rather than the usual repetitiveness that shows even more when all 8 tracks are looped in the longer run. Admire the work put into it, very nice results, but at least once appreciating this actually goes along a Meh vote (sorry). Heavy skipping saved it a bit : p

Crazy, crazy fast. Atari's version was more comparable to C64's, not so insane (the game was still not easy either way). Easy Yes vote : )

Oooooh my. Well, this is truly something else... Easily one of the best games I've experienced and played at the same time : ) - obliterated to bits and pieces and wonderfully broken in such a glorious style? Oh yes. So much Yes. Couldn't vote more, in fact would do so thrice if possible : ) This is one of the absolute best TASes I've seen - easily. Deserves the highest praise and ranking... Thank You SO much for creating this! I think Éric Chahi should see it someday : ) While creating games and speedrunning them are probably the exact opposites, this is as close as it comes for speedrun/TAS being an art.

Wow, that's a great TAS, thank you! Adventure games are such a treat to be TASed, and this one is a great example, especially after seeing the RTA WR a few weeks ago. If possible, please consider working on other titles!: ) Easy Yes vote! : )

Oh, this is nice! I actually enjoyed both of the first levels when they were submitted, but this takes the cake, thank you for going the longer way to make the effort : ) Yes vote obviously : )

Thank you man! Appreciate that you've made this TAS a LOT. It's a different version of the game than Atari 65 XL/XE's, but it brings back old very good memories. It was the only game that my mother liked... :' ) As such, Frogger has a special place in my heart. Thank you, once again...!

Encode, please?
idk how to encode.
Thank you for making that TAS! Was good to see one of the games from my childhood again. A2600's version is definitely more simplistic than Atari 65 XL/XE that I had (a bit of a pity), but it's still enjoyable and the run is crazy at times, so Yes vote : ) Side note, you ran some quite interesting titles! Making encodes could really make them more accessible to simpler folks like me : ) the discussion have blown up after the encode was here, perhaps a coincidence but still, easier to see.
