Gamegenie codes are not cheat codes, they manually alter memory addresses instead of using game logic. Well, I suppose it's closer to redirecting the game to a different memory address than changing what is already there, but the effect is the same.

For Heavens sake, what does it matter how many continues the player uses? This is not a run about how many deaths he concedes, it's about how fast he can complete the game. Isn't that what a TAS is all about?
Sure. However, TASes are also rated on their entertainment value. They're not just technical demonstrations of what is possible, they're videos meant to entertain the viewer. By that standard, I was left unsatisfied by this movie for the reasons I stated in my previous post. I don't think that's unreasonable.

Going to have to vote No on this one. It was entertaining enough until the continue abuse happened and that ruined it for me like it ruined Metal Slug X for me too. Watching someone gameover (in normal play, glitch gameovers can be entertaining) isn't something I consider entertaining in a TAS.

Seems more like a debugging/testing code than an intended cheat code to me. I'm not sure whether it'd be classed as a cheat but it's certainly entertaining to see, at least as a once-off. Yes vote.

That sort of thing is incredibly subjective though. I thought it was pretty cool the first time I saw it. I stopped thinking it was cool when he gameovered because of it and started thinking it was cheap.

Yeah I figured it must save quite a lot of time. It just irked me a little as I'm used to playing these games for survival. Don't worry about my opinion too much. :)

The change to fba.roms.dat allowed it to sync for me. However I'm afraid I'm going to have to vote Meh on this, purely because you used multiple credits. I appreciate that it was to save time in the subway, it just feels kinda cheap and kind of ruined the run for me. Aside from that though, I did enjoy watching it. Edit: Wow that line breaks the forum pretty hard. You should probably put it in a weblink or something. :|

From the sounds of it, it might be Alien Shooter (Not Alien Shooter: Vengeance, which is the sequel). Other than that, I honestly can't think of anything.

There's a game I've been looking for lately, one that I played a lot when I was younger. I think the game came out a little after the first Diablo game, and was a game very similar to Diablo (the same kind of overview, and similar interface), but it was sci-fi oriented, with firearms instead of medieval weapons. You would walk around, shooting aliens, picking up better weapons, and going further into the game. Does this say anything to anyone?
This is kinda vague, but it sounds a little like Take No Prisoners, or at least one of the many Alien Breed games. Do you remember anything else about the game?

I remember playing a 2D platforming game where you played as a warrior with a battleaxe, going around navigating these mazes and killing demons and so on. I remember there was a button that you could hold down to have him continuously swing his axe in front of him, but usually you'd throw it and (I think?) it would explode. You could also drop gems on the floor...can't remember what they did, but IIRC they took 1 health for each one you dropped. Anyone know what I'm talking about? It would have been a computer game, but I don't remember what OS.
Deliverance, maybe? Edit: oh hey that post was 8 months ago. welp

Any TAS made for this site would be done on the Nightmare difficulty as it is the highest one, so the times wouldn't really be directly comparable even if the strategies and routes would be mostly the same.

Voting no on this. I don't know why you decided to run only a single track from this game. I don't recall a single track from a game ever being accepted, and this is the exact reason why.

The best part of this for me was the Disc armor disc chasing you down the ramps after you got Undine. Voted yes!

iirc the ISG was discovered by a japanese person who had nothing to do with SDA. He posted a video on youtube about it and eventually it was found by... someone. I forget who. Thread is here: http://forum.speeddemosarchive.com/post/ocarina_of_time__all_categoriesn64.html

Don't the rules require you to play on the Hardest difficulty possible? Regardless, Normal sounds fine to me.

Voting no. As the author has said, this is not an optimised movie. However, I think that if an optimised movie is submitted, that it should obsolete the NTSC run on the grounds of being faster.

Wow. Grow the fuck up. So what if he saved a frame, it's a frame he saved and you aren't really entitled to unless you find it yourself. edit: removed the part about banning since i didn't see the pictures in the youtube comments before this. still think both sides of the argument need to grow up though.

Portrait of Ruin used a bug to get enough money to buy the best weapon in the game. Order of Ecclesia has no such bug.
