BC's Quest For Tires (Colecovision)

Tools Used

  • BizHawk 2.9.0

Effort In TASing

I have been working on the C64 version and wondered if I had learned anything that could be used on the Colecovision version. So, I started TASing the coleco game, while avoiding the inputs from MESHUGGAH's #5808: MESHUGGAH's Coleco B.C.'s Quest for Tires in 01:40.45...as I didn't want any influence to take away from my understanding thus far. Well, it turned out MESHUGGAH's inputs were rock solid! The only thing that showed up was a difference found when jumping the top of the volcano, by use of the bird. Something in the cut scene causes a timing issue (Frame Rule maybe?) that would soon be resolved by the end of Stage 6. Thereafter, each stage was 2 frames faster and that is how it ended...with a 2 frame cut. All I had to do, was hold that ground until the game was finished.
I applaud MESSHUGGAH and his efforts!

Bizhawk 2.2.1 Confirmation

You can download a confirmation run, to show that the new inputs actually work on the older version of Bizhawk. This was how we proved that a true improvement was made.

Thanks

Crazy, crazy fast. Atari's version was more comparable to C64's, not so insane (the game was still not easy either way). Easy Yes vote : )
