North and South is a game released for the NES based off the Civil War. You can fight battles, go on trains, capture forts, and destroy the Union or Confederate armies in this exciting game!
This is a 37 frame (0.62 second) improvement over the current published run of the same game, due to my realization that you could turn a player into a computer by clicking their image, which is about 35 frames faster. Two more frames were saved through slightly better map navigation.
(Note to encoders: Set your emulator to pause at frame 6500, which shows the TAS, and a couple seconds of the ending screen.)
JWinslow23: I will now cancel this submission due to MESHUGGAH's run being faster.

OK, but I can think of a way to best it! What if I use 2P as the Confederate army and have it play horribly?
If I could have a tool-assisted real life, I'd...
Being a novice, I'd probably load the wrong state, have the IRS AI bankrupt me, and eventually make me want to kill myself and redo 11 years of hard work.

I don't think that would be considered an impressive movie. You could do that for any game. The technical value here comes from manipulating the computer to lose quickly.

In that case, could I do a "playaround" TAS of this game? I will try to make it as entertaining as possible!
(Oh, and I will answer your next question. There are a few glitches that I know, along with an Easter egg involving the Konami code.)

You can certainly try. Whether it will be considered entertaining enough to get published, however, is a far more difficult question.
