I think worrying about this place dying is pretty silly. There's always going to be some interest in TASing, even if we all become a bunch of skeletons. I mean, shoot, look at friggin Earthbound. 20 years later, and people are still talking about it. They're even making a fan version of Mother 4.

*10 years later* 'sup, started working on this game. Thanks to the handy powers of nicovideo, I have a reference video to compare against. Link to video Link to video Here's my current WIP. It's about 17 seconds faster after the third boss, so far. http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/21146351570181806 One handy thing to note is pressing Left + Right will make you go right a lot faster. Very handy, as most stages go right anyway.

I trust that it's actually carefully optimized, but to a casual observer, I say it looks a little sloppy.
Yeah, it is optimized. The balloon mechanic just propels you too fast to slow down properly, even if it's only done for a frame.

Fantastic run, really. Reminds me of [1297] SNES EarthBound by pirohiko in 1:10:00.95 in all the right ways. The commentary was also a nice touch, love when that stuff is done.

Weird game. Entertaining enough, so Yes vote.

Well, there you have it. Final Fantasy 1 is now broken.

The real question is why you want some bootleg multicarts to work, when you have basically any other game to choose from.

This might be useful somewhere.
Is it only possible in this one area, or other areas as well? If it is, you could well end up skipping a lot of the game (or at least be a nifty time saver).

Nothing terrible. I mean, there are worse TASes of games around. (That awful Elmo game comes to mind.) Still, it just wasn't very interesting. Meh vote.

Have you tried it? Never say it's impossible unless you give a good attempt.

Solarplex. Not only did he create a lot of notable TASes, but he is incredibly helpful around the forums.

I second the nomination for Tseralith for all the work he put into the Hyper Princess Pitch TAS, in addition to Spelunky.
^I nominate Tseralith as well. Very impressive breakage of those two games, especially considering the limitations of Hourglass.

Anyways, I think it's a better idea to TAS a hack of this game, like Newer Super Mario Bros. Wii.
As opposed to what?

Voting No. You could do much better in both entertainment and optimization. (Seriously, the autoscrollers are painful)
