This TAS is a 697 frame improvement over Twisted Eye's current published run of this game. The main improvement comes from a route change and better luck manipulation of the bats in the cave. You might have been expecting a run of Addams Family but fuck that shitty game.
Here's a picture I got when I googled ALF. I propose it be this run's publication screenshot.

Good thing this run is so short, cause the gameplay and music are awful. Still, giving it my yes vote.

What a silly little game. Nice use of death-warping! It was always easy to tell why you died somewhere, and it always looked like it saved quite a bit of time. The last section kind of dragged on, but I think the first part of the movie makes up for it; voting Yes.

Meh vote. Liked the first part, but the flight to the moon was really boring. Also, some more explanations of things would be nice. I have no idea what's happening with those bats in that cave. It looks like as soon as they touch ALF, they teleport for some distance and then proceed to jitter around, sometimes while moving in some random direction. (I suppose that's just what happens after you attack them, but your attack is invisible half of the time (maybe just due to 30fps), and it's always fun to read descriptions like that, even if there's no big secret behind them.)

Oh yeah. It seems obvious to the TASer what's going on but I guess I forgot about everyone else. Basically when I stop in the fridge at the beginning, I get a salami. This is basically ALF's attack in the cave, and the attack animation depends on how long you press the button. So since it's fastest to just tap the button for one frame only, it renders the animation to basically nothing, and makes it looks like ALF isn't attacking them at all. (Why they jitter around like mad after you hit them I have no idea.)

Who down votes an unlisted temp encode? Anyway, the game was short enough to not be too dull. Overall a meh for me. Seriously, though, did the sound designer have to use as high of an octave as possible on every song? Makes me regret being a headphone user.
Somewhat damaged.

death-warps are good. last part is plain boring. I can get over that half-cat half-fish thing in the pool. Yes vote.
