hegyak: That's what I would think, but that point is never visited. When you reach the spot where you're supposed to drop the charge, you get a dialog bit with a voice in your head that tells you to put the charge there. This run never goes deep enough in the planet to find that spot. Now, the door to the escape ship is only supposed to open when you reach that point, but the walk-through-walls glitch renders that useless. I guess I'm wondering why the player doesn't just go for that door right away and instead goes down the vertical shaft with the wallclip.

Thanks for your quest of updating old movies. It's been doing good things for the site, I think. This run is pretty good, but Flashback has always been a game that's more fun to play than it is to watch. With everything getting skipped, it gets even more monotonous. The new glitching is pretty neat though, especially in the last level. I am a little confused about that level though. What actually is necessary for it to end? (You take a detour to some item in the lower-left, for instance.) And how do you get stuck in the wall on one of the falls you do?

The Brookman: Be patient ;-) Without an encode, it does take people longer to view this. Also, you've had improvements to your own run in a fairly short timespan, so people generally aren't as excited for it. I like the game though. It's not real clear from your description, but where are this run's most significant improvements compared to your previous attempt? I think I noticed a bit of route change in the second level, but I didn't recall many real significant changes. Regardless, nice job.

There is so much happening at almost every moment of this run. I was worried the glitches would trivialize things, but if anything they made the stages even more tense. There are many wonderful examples of very precise timing. I'd be in favor of Stars, or at least getting this a little question box for first-time visitors. This is a great run at showing how tools can break apart a puzzle game. The game is also quite humorous for people who aren't very familiar with it.

Oh, nice point. I didn't think about a cypher. (I played some Keen growing up, but I didn't have this game.) Thanks for the info, Tangent and Radiant!

The game seriously had a required stage where the intended route was blocked? That's a really dumb bug / lack of playtesting, like that one stage in Battletoads that Player 2 can't finish. This is a short run, but unlike Keen 6, the shortness isn't due to glitches, so it's less entertaining. Good boss fight work, but this is a Meh entry in the Keen series. Nice job running it though.

feos: Fair enough. I think I would enjoy that chase, because I figure that a pacifist run should require some extreme sacrifices, like somebody ironically bending over backwards to save some poor robots. However, I'm not the TASer, and you can make the run you want to make, and I totally respect you for that. We're just going to disagree on this point :-) I still voted Yes on the run and think it's a great addition to TASVideos.

feos: Thanks for the answers. Personally, I do feel a little weird about destroying other stuff in the boss fights, but I'll accept it. It would probably be fun to see you dodging all kinds of crazy stuff in the Steelbeak fight, even if it is slower. (I was hoping maybe it would be possible to dodge them by circling around the room and having the drones chase you.) But if you say it's not possible to survive the fight with that strategy, I'll take your word for it.

Sorry about the delay, but I finally checked this out. It's a short and sweet run. Good shortcuts. I'm sort of surprised the game has this few levels. Nice job!

The co-author question is valid, but exposure improved another movie. However, since exposure doesn't speak English, I'm giving him(?) the benefit of the doubt. It looks like we have a frame war :-) Have we settled the question of the legitimacy of the bugs used? Are they just emulator issues?

Thanks for the temp encode. Good job optimizing the run, but man is the music annoying. Only the sewer levels looked like they really offered any redeeming gameplay challenge, apart from fake difficulty brought on by bad controls. The damage boost into one door looked sort of interesting too. However, my vote belongs in Wally's gang.

I'm also not a fan of the way this was done. You certainly have the right to make this movie the way you did, but you should be more thankful for the work that preceded you. It's one thing if you have a really unoptimized run that you reinvent (see the Mendel Palace run by DarkKobold, for instance), but here you took somebody's pretty optimized run, with new findings, and you don't really give them any respect for their work when all you do is some small optimizations. After all, you didn't know much of anything about the game before their run showed up! (If you want an example of how this kind of update was done with more class, see the Little Nemo run done by Randil, before Alyosha's update. See how he credits the preceding submissions that weren't as optimal...) As for the run itself, I like the game. I don't know it well enough to know the convoluted paths the game takes, but the action is fairly good. Seeing yourself die on bombs and then warp to new stages is cool too.

Wait, so this is actually an improvement? For such a short run, with a number of previous improvements, an improvement of around 1.5 seconds is a big deal! I'm surprised it's only 60 rerecords listed too. Exposure, can you give any details about the improvement? If you cannot write English, let us know what your native language is, and maybe someone can help you translate.

Lots of bullets are shot in this run. I figure many of them are for luck manipulation, though some are definitely for entertainment. (See the parts of the Bushroot stage where he has to wait for falling logs.) I'm ok with that rule break. However, I'm more concerned that Darkwing Duck actively fights minions in the bossfights. For instance, in the Moliarty battle, you break the bottom machine. In the Steelbeak fight, you attack the little robots. (I think you may also attack something in the Liquidator fight.) I realize that this makes the fights much faster, but it would probably be more impressive to avoid attacking those other things. As far as the goals go, I am fine with the one use of Arrow Gas. That was clever, actually. It feels cowardly, in a sense, to have Darkwing Duck try to get out of the action and climb over a wall to avoid having to fight an enemy ;-) Nice job with the run and the entertainment! I'd like to know your stance, though, on attacking minions in the bossfights.

CoolKirby: Oh, I had forgotten that the gap wouldn't fit any animals. I had never tried to bring an animal when I played the game, so I didn't realize that. Thanks!

Good run, MarioUniverseZone. You play well. However, hacks are judged more strictly than official games. If I'm correct, the Vault is less forgiving for hack games; a hack has to also be entertaining enough or well-made enough to gain acceptance. In this way, I'm not sure this hack is worthwhile, especially since you can skip a lot of the stages through the ceiling. On the other hand, I really liked Stage 4 a lot, and the run is short. I'm voting Yes.

Great improvement! In retrospect, it seems so obvious to escape out of boss rooms after beating them instead of jumping on the warp star; that saves some serious time. The slope boosts were very noticeable, and the boss strategies were quite good. (Though I'm a little surprised you didn't save Coo for Dedede... I thought you could bring an animal to that fight.) A couple places looked a little less optimized: the room with the ice blocks at the end of 4-2, and the stone usage in 6-4, are the ones that come to mind. But I don't have any specific improvements there.

I thought that was a pretty hilariously bad game. (However, I'm actually amused by The Cheetahmen for a while, so I may have bad taste about these things.) The funniest enemies were the skater ducks from Duck Tales in 8-2 that stand in for hammer brothers. Ironically, with such a glitchy game, it doesn't look like you had a separate "flagpole" glitch for getting through those poles faster. Great job having the temp encode end when DK is making creepy eyebrow gestures at the girl, and then the credits say "Donkey Kong came". This looks fairly solid to me given the quality of the game. I'm voting Yes. Nice job!

Great job! I think I was more surprised by Angel Island 1 than Egg Rocket, mostly because Egg Rocket has been broken for longer now. It's all good though.

I meant the third, with the spiked ceiling. I was curious why you didn't ditch the lizard for that part. I think you basically answered that question though.

Ok, I finally got to see this. I get a gut feeling like you should still be able to boost with the morning star a little more, especially in the third nightmare level (instead of riding the lizard the whole way). But it's quite a bit faster than the published run, and it's plenty entertaining. Good job!

Doing updates of old runs is cool. If I'm not mistaken, that's what Randil used to do anyway (especially with storybook games like Uninvited). I haven't gotten a chance to check this run yet, but I wanted to have a little off-topic comment about Mickey Mousecapades. In the discussion for that movie, somebody suggested a major route change in the first stage. I just wanted to make sure you'd seen those posts before going too deep into a run of that game.
Used to be a frequent submissions commenter. My new computer has had some issues running emulators, so I've been here more sporadically. Still haven't gotten around to actually TASing yet... I was going to improve Kid Dracula for GB. It seems I was beaten to it, though, with a recent awesome run by Hetfield90 and StarvinStruthers. (http://tasvideos.org/2928M.html.)

Why is this game so short? We may never know. Nice job with it, though. I'd be curious to see if any improvements to the boss can be done, like Adam mentions, but Yes vote regardless.

At this point, it's not too late to uncancel an old submission and ask for an update. I'm not sure if it's worth it, though. One advantage is that you'd have all the prior voting data from the old submission. Maybe run this by a movie editor, somebody who can update files, and see what they think. Anyway, hooray for more improvements!

Could you clarify what you actually need to do to finish the game? You get upgrades, it seems, but you don't actually fight bosses in all the stages. And do the weapons make a difference in damage this time at boss fights? It's a pretty fun, broken run though, just like Zook Hero 2.
