This sounds kickass, I want an .avi. :( Actually when trying this WIP out I managed to get past the bomb shop desync by playing the movie at 10% speed, though it desynced again at the superslides. Oh well, I'll wait for bkDJ.

Despite it being a huge improvement, I wasn't entertained at all. I never watched Saturn's movie so I never voted there, but eh. Pending between yes and meh, mostly because the same damn move was repeated throughout the whole movie (with a quite annoying sound I might add), and then some boring chattering.
I'll just vote yes for the nice improvement. Congratulations on your first TAS too.

Isolated Warrior is a scrolling shoot-'em-up for the NES. The game spans 7 levels, each with a mini-boss and a boss. Collecting different power-ups in the levels will make your weapons better. The character has three weapons that can be used:
As said, the spread gun isn't that useful as it always fires at the same speed. I'm sure it can be useful in some spots though, but I am yet to discover where.
Here is a quick test run of level 1. Note that only the beginning is TASed.

Any interest in this? I'd want to go for a high-score run, as the game always scrolls at the same speed no matter what you do. At first I was thinking an all-kills run would be good, but I soon realized this was impossible as there are infinate amount of enemies in some areas.

As the video shows, it is possible to BLJ on it. However I'm doubtful that you can reach the top of the rising platforms with it. A bit of experimenting wouldn't hurt.

Posting in a legendary thread.
I like how this is perfect in every goddamn way. BLJing through Boswer 1 was clearly one of the highlights of the run. Congratulations on creating such a beautiful TAS and for the first time breaking the 16-star limit. ;) Good work guys, you really deserve this. Do I need to mention this is a yes vote?

Actually it was mentioned in the thread that Kirby does more damage in the JPN version.
EDIT: Okay, watched it, and I loved it. Crazy fast movement and bossbattles. At times I couldn't keep up with where Kirby was going. I found it kind of funny when Shadow Kirby (or whatever his name is) appeared, the battle music barely started before he was gone again. ;)
Nothing to complain about - a quality run.

Route planning is usually much easier if you know the game well. Do you? If not, you'll probably need to play through the game once without frame advance or slowdowns to familiarize yourself with it.

I don't know about 3, but 1 and 2 are very similar to the corresponding Country games. I don't know if they are direct ports, but still similar. I guess they would make good TASes anyway.

Would just like to promote this game by Ultimortal, made in GameMaker.
As any puzzle game, this REALLY gets hard at the later levels. I myself never beat the two last ones at elite. :(
Try it out! Download link is in here.

Actually I think my story is somewhat similar to roberts'. I saw speezafer's 16-star TAS, came here, was not very interested in anything shown, and left. I came back a bit later (I think this actually was because the site popped up in my mind all of a sudden, and I decided to check it out once more). I was disappointed that I couldn't vote for any runs, so I registered and started posting. I quickly became interested in TASing myself, and yeah.
