Phantasy Star II, released in 1989, introduces us to the anti-utopian world of Mota, now dominated by the Mother Brain computer. Rolf, a government agent, is assigned the task of finding out why Mother Brain is malfunctioning, and yet his role in the destiny of Algo is far, far greater than anyone could imagine. Anyone, save one lone Esper. As the genetic construct Nei, the soldier Rudo, and others join him, can he topple the tyranny of Mother Brain and free Algo from an unholy evil?
Rolf and his friends, tired of all the violence they've seen, decide to take a pacifist route to save the Algol system with zero bloodshed. This run improves the author's previous run by 00:13.32 seconds by saving a trip to the armor shop and instead injecting the Carbonsuit (the item that triggers the ending) into inventory at the storage building. For more details, see the author's notes. For more details on the main ideas behind the glitches in this run, read the older run's submission notes.

Phantasy Star IV, released in Japan as Phantasy Star: The End of the Millennium, is a role-playing video game released for the Mega Drive/Genesis in Japan in 1993 and Europe and North America in 1995. It is the fourth and final game in the original Phantasy Star series, concluding the story of the Algol Star System. Phantasy Star IV kept many of the gameplay elements of the previous game, including turn-based battles, overhead exploration, and magic spells. It received mixed reviews upon its release, but has been subject to positive critical retrospectives.
In this movie, Jiseed exploits recently discovered complex glitches such as save warping, spawning a non-existent extra character, macro corruption, and others. Severe memory corruption allows to finish the game in record time by skipping several crucial parts of the plot. See the author's notes and the discussion thread for more information on the glitches.

Arcana is a role-playing game from HAL Laboratory, the studio behind franchises such as Kirby and Super Smash Bros. In this first-person dungeon crawling game, you play as a wizard named Rooks, who is the last of the Card Masters, an order of wizards who use special cards that have tremendous magical power in them. An evil magician by the name of Galneon threatens the world by threatening to release the evil goddess Rimsalia and has killed all those who opposed him, including most of the Card Masters. Rooks must now go on a quest to stop Galneon and Rimsalia before they destroy the world.
Jiseed utilizes large amounts of RNG manipulation for this run to complete the game as fast as possible. Unlike most other games, the battle RNG is most often not determined by what was inputted by a controller during a frame, but by the actions taken in previous frames. This kind of RNG along with the traditional input-based RNG made for a difficult RPG to TAS.
