There is probably plenty of room for tiny improvements throughout but this is nevertheless a great first TAS and a yes vote.

Goofy has a point, this could be moved to SNES games and renamed "Prehistorik Man"?

Yeah just take damage so you can die as soon as possible right after pushing the blocks.

How about just improving the places I pointed out? The rest looked great!

In general, this is a great effort on a pretty difficult game choice for a first TAS. However, the general idea is that if you are aware of possible improvements that aren't too difficult to implement, it's encouraged to implement them into the TAS before submission. :)

In Crystal Caverns 2, is not faster to abuse death after pushing the first ice block down the shaft? Also was it not faster to ride a bat up the short shaft on the way to the last ice block? And abuse death after that, too? Overall, looks great! Excellent effort!

In Crystal Caves 1, I think it's slower to wait for the bat to come from the topleft for the shortcut near the end, than to go a bit further to the right and jump to get one other bat to come lower to make a shortcut to the top possible. Or maybe it's even faster to go all the way to the right there and use the topright dinosaur to get to the topright ice block.

OK so it seems that skip stage in stage 12 is not worth it :) Would like to see the WIP ;)

Yea about the stage 12 skip - I'm really not sure if it's faster. You might want to test it before continuing. To get the needed bones you gotta get 1-2 baskets off route above the checkpoint in the burnt tree stage. In stage 15 you do NOT need to skip because it's faster to finish the stage normally. Then you only need to have 100 bones in the middle of stage 20. Wanna post a WIP?

http://www.twitch.tv/xarthok/b/319746973?t=18m48s here is my speedrun of the whole game done in 43 minutes (unoptimized) from it you can clearly see that my strategy for the first 4 stages is faster (the only reason why it's not faster than the TAS is the 3rd stage which i'm not so good in) so the best way to proceed, unfortunately, would be restarting it from the beginning. that is, if you want it to be as fast as possible. of course you can decide to do a "no-skips" but that would be a pretty arbitrary category in this case because the skips are only minor skips that skip a part of one stage each and require in-game currency so are features of normal play. but do as you wish :)

I found out that if you manage to collect 100 bones by Stage 4 you can purchase "Skip Stage" in the shop to save around 1 minute (minus time spent collecting bones) and another 100 bones by Stage 12 to save around 20 seconds, another in Stage 15 and 20. It's probably worth it! You can find more useful info here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/gba/524170-prehistorik-man/faqs/19287

Voting Meh purely because of game choice which doesn't seem to be all that exciting for a viewer who isn't familiar with the game.

Awesome run, puts quite a gap between real time runs and this ;)

Would make it easier if for now people just suggested games that are actually runnable in Hourglass and don't need mouse.

A fantastic run. Any chance for a 100%? If you want to do another Keen game I vote for Keen 2 :)
