Old Apogee-titles (like Monster Bash, Duke Nukems, Bio Menace, Crystal Caves...) Moonstone Mega Lo Mania Assuming mouse-emulation is a possibility: Syndicate Populous (II) Crusader: No Remorse or Crusader: No Regret Magic Carpet (though it might be too complex for dosbox to handle) Battle Isle (2) And personally I'd be interested in seeing something done with Settlers (or Serf City), but it might prove to be too boring to watch.

Of course it's still yes-worthy material. And it's nice to see heavy abuse of death for a change, even though for only a short while.

Journey to Silius -submissions are always great to watch because the soundtrack of the game plain rocks. And anyway, it's an improvement over existing movie and everything seems to be in order. Easy yes.

Nice improvement. Like previously said, I'm also of the opinion that asynchronous controlling of the characters makes a movie like this more entertaining, because both character have a "mind" of their own. Yes.

For that fixed emulator JXQ has provided in the submission, you're going to need the FMOD.dll from a snes9x installation if you're using FMOD as the sound system. Just pointing this out since it's missing from that distribution.

An improvement and an über movie to boot. Definite yes. I found the input animations to be pure win, but they need to used sparingly like in this movie. Overusage will make them dull as well.

Top-notch planning. :) Constant action with some unique ideas in the game were enough to entertain me. Creative use of the blocks was also one of the highlights. And lastly, yes for obsoleting another famtasia run. Also:

Well, I found it to be fairly entertaining, provided that if you don't know the game by heart you get a map of the game area. Yes-vote.

Nice movie. With liberal use of turbo on the most boring scenes (ship, flying, levelups and shops) it wasn't even boring, even though that's what you would expect from a 2 hour+ movie. Anyway, the gameplay seemed to be in order and everything I noticed as strange were sufficiently covered in author's explanation. Another landmark in the land of luck manipulation. Yes-ing this.

Well, aside from being very very fast it's also an improvement, so no question there.

I liked it, though I would be very interested to see a run to the "best" ending, since this is one of the Contra games I'm not familiar with beforehand.

I think we should have saved this run a little longer and published it on April Fool's Day.
A remix of Vampire Killer and indeed, a lot of other interesting things in the arena, where a brief part of this song was played as well. :)

You probably wrote it wrong, like I did. I believe the correct form is "Ghosts'n Goblins", not "Ghosts 'n Goblins".
Actually, it (at least) accepts "Ghosts and goblins", which is the form I used since I couldn't remember the correct spelling.

1700 points, I guess I knew the most of because this site. :P (Though I own quite a lot of those games.)

Excellent work. The discussions are a bit interrupting but the action more than makes up for those brief moments.

Yeah, desyncs at the boss here as well. Options looked good though, so this might just be some random bug in the emulation? I recall there being other games like this on NES (Famtasia?).

This game is good and some of its tunes are pretty good as well. I don't see the haters' point -- if you haven't played this game back in the days, why bother watching the speedrun and complaining about it? I was bored to tears after watching the supposedly "great" speedrun of Megaman posted on this site, literally falling asleep not once but four times, but it never crossed my mind to say that Megaman speedrun shouldn't have been made -- it's just that it is much more interesting for those who played Megaman back in the eighties. Same stuff is true for most games. You find this game boring and the music bad? It's easy -- don't play it and watch the run then, but don't bury it for those who care, OK?
What's the whole point of voting if you liked watching the movie, if only allowed option is to vote yes? Also, in my opinion, if you find megaman games so awful, there's nothing limiting you to go on the threads and express your distaste, if you state your reasons for doing so.

I was intrigued by that "no votes in six months" so I decided to take a look at this. Well, the run is pretty solid, but the game is sucky, like mozooh said. I mean, 7 stages, of which at least 5 look and play like each other, without any bosses or other sources of distraction, make this repetitive as heck, and thus quite boring. Anyway, it did get better in the last 2 or so stages, but the final "boss" was quite a letdown anyway. Aside from that, I'd like to mention that aural experience from this game is horrible. You can produce nice chiptunes with the NES, why do I have to subjected to the horror that is music in this game? I'd skip it in the future. Borderline Meh (from No), since the run wasn't bad.

A good run is even better now. Obvious yes.

Yeah well I was planning on doing both. Because some people don't like to download stuff of random personal websites. So I wanted to offer the DL, and have it presented on the site in tandem.
AJAX version of AgileGallery could probably do something like that (only from the picture files though), while having the advantage of not using Flash to do it (the other option which springs to mind how to do it). http://www.agilegallery.com/ajax-photo-gallery.html

Worked fine for me with Pokemon Sapphire (U) [hIRff]. Anyway, nice run. I especially enjoyed that gym with the rotating gates. Cannot really say anything about strategies since I haven't ever played this game, but at least it seemed consistent. Yes vote.

I was quite entertained by this movie. I don't see a problem using 2 players, for me it signals that author went that extra mile to actually play and coordinate the actions for two characters simultaneously, even if the end result looks slightly more trivial. And anyway, I can't resist massive destruction like in this movie. ;) Edit: About replacing the old movie, I didn't re-watch it now, and it's been quite a long time since I've actually seen it, so don't take my 'yes' vote as 'yes and obsolete' but rather as 'yes, publish in form deemed best'.

Well, that was a refreshing WTF right there. Anyway, this clearly shows what can be achieved with tools and managas to be fairly entertaining to boot. Good job.

Excellence. Anything didn't strike me as boring and I found it rather entertaining as a whole.

Awesome. Especially the small dancing tidbit in the beginning of the driving stage was über. Yes.
