Indeed, I did a walkthough 7 years ago and there it took me about 17 minutes...! Quite an improvement :) Thanks for this great MSX submission, which I was hoping for someone would do for quite a long time...!

In case the music in this game sounds familiar to anyone I'm not normally a fan of puzzle games, but this one was pretty enjoyable to watch, especially with the little jokes between levels (personally the Barry Manilow one was what had me chuckling. Oh, and if you're having trouble pausing at the right time, the , and . keys are your friends.) Yes vote.

I wasn't expecting to like this kind of game very much, but the stages got much more complicated after the first couple. This is a solid run!
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.) Thanks to goofydylan8 for running Gargoyle's Quest 2 because I mentioned the game! (http://tasvideos.org/2001M.html) Thanks to feos and MESHUGGAH for taking up runs of Duck Tales 2 because of my old signature! Thanks also to Samsara for finishing a Treasure Master run. From the submission comments:
Shoutouts and thanks to mklip2001 for arguably being the nicest and most supportive person on the forums.

This seems like a genuinely nice puzzle game. The run is slightly mired down by the game's slow, methodical pace, although some enemy dodging in later levels looks pretty impressive. I guess it gets a weak 'yes' vote from me.
