As of this post, BizHawk has an (unreleased) Atari 7800 core. My preliminary tests show that it has good sync and great emulation quality. So I figured now is a good time to start a wish list. Looking through the games, I'm not so sure what if any would make good TASes, but here some ones I noticed: Commando (don't know how long it is but seems decent) Dark Chambers (Gauntlet wannabe, 26 floors, but features 2 players at once) Mario Bros (inferior port compared to the NES one) MS Pac Man

Assuming it's the same game, why would you play the Atari version of Commando instead of the arcade or NES versions? Ditto Pac-Man.

Commando seems to be similar to the NES one but not the same levels. As for Pac-man, I don't know, other than the novelty of it being Atari.

How about Ninja Golf? Seems like a unique beat-em-up to run.

FYI, if anyone considers doing Impossible Mission, you NEED to use the PAL version. The NTSC version has a fatal bug that makes it impossible to complete. Very fitting for the game name, but not so much for TASing.

Midnight Mutants, a TAS could skip even more than I do. It would skip the Knife and Cross, and potentially Blaster 2, but not sure how much you lose later by skipping the extra damage output it gives. But I think my general route after the Cross is solid. Can give more thoughts if someone actually wants to TAS it.

Super Skateboardin', a very short run, you have to go around the building and hit every item that's using electricity. I think my route is solid but I could have overlooked something. Happy to send the map of my route if anyone is interested in doing a TAS, just shoot me a DM. RTA run - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBF9QXWhhtg
