  • Emulator Used: Bizhawk 2.3.0
  • Hardest difficulty
  • Choosing 2 player mode while never using the second controller; in fact, the movie syncs perfectly if you edit the inputs to choose 1 player mode instead.
  • Genre: platforming
This is the very first port of the famous Arcade game, Donkey Kong, containing only the Ramp and Rivet stages. It predates the NES release, the ColecoVision release, and even the Atari 2600 release.
The only thing noteworthy here is that the collisions in this game are glitchy in general. As a result, I'm able to walk right past a barrel around the 0:12 mark in the run.
Thanks Mothrayas for providing the lua script for analog input.
Merry late Christmas and happy early New Year!

feos: Looks like the same case as Coleco DK. The speed of barrels and enemies doesn't change, the speed they appear at is unclear due to incredible amounts of lag. The game counts loops ($033B), and freezing that counter doesn't lead to predictable changes. With information I was able to collect, the only difference this game TAS can give you is randomness (and lag). The rest seems to remain the same. Accepting to Vault.
Spikestuff: I found my ears.

Since there's no ending "cutscene" in this game, the movie of it will have to follow these rules: http://tasvideos.org/MovieRules.html#GamesWithoutClearEnding

STEP 5: Time is running out... When mario removes the last rivet, Donkey Kong(TM) steals the girlfriend away again! The game continues, and the action gets more and more challenging.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.
