So you don’t have enough friends to play crazy eights, or poker, or cribbage, or even war? What about solitaire? Oh, you don’t have a deck of cards. Well you should try the NES version of solitaire! Well… maybe not, it’s a pretty shitty game, with very repetitive music, and bad graphics. So how about watch someone else destroy it in 47 seconds? This movie will provide you with almost a full minute of action-packed card sorting action at its most action-packed finest. And even those people with the worst ADHD will find it hard to become bored in such a short time (you know who you are).
Some information:
  • Aims for fastest completion of one game
  • Plays at hardest level (3 cards drawn as opposed to the easier 1 card drawn)
  • FCEU version .16 used
By pressing start on frame 4 I am able to skip a long intro screen, however it glitches the start screen so that the cards disappear once they land. Normally the cards land and spell out “SOLITAIRE”, with some credits underneath, but instead you’re treated to some nice green. I delay the start of the game at the options screen by 1 frame because of better card placements compared to the “optimal” start. Also, the music may seem to be rather messed up, but that’s caused by the cursor moving at such a fast pace.
While this is an April Fools submission (because it’s so off the wall), I do think this game makes a suitable TAS, and may even lead to “Solitaire Wars”, similar to those seen with Monopoly a while ago. But if people don’t like it, it’s understandable. Anyways, enjoy!

47.27 seconds of solitaire is 47.26999... seconds too long. :P no actual vote was cast.

You noticed the huge rack too huh? We had a conversation on IRC about how she could maybe be seen as old, but that with those killer 8bit graphics, her looks depend only on your imagination;) And a balcony you could do Shakespeare on.... On another note, I love April first.

Considering I can beat solitaire faster than this and the record is something like 11 seconds, should I bother watching this?

Yes, because this is NES solitaire, not your fancy smancy super advanced microsoft solitaire. And the queen of hearts has huge knockers. So in summary, if you don't watch this, you're gay.

The king of spades in that picture looks like some sort of spiky haired gang leader.

This game would rock with Bisqbot.

So, uh, was I a spiky haired gang leader or a king of spades?

I refuse to watch this video on the basis that it's an unlicensed ROM. If a game doesn't have the Nintendo Seal of Quality, that means that Nintendo hasn't received any money for approving this game. I mean, hasn't censored it for sex, violence, profanity and religious references. I mean, hasn't ensured that it's totally awesome and certainly worth $60, and absolutely will not appear in an Angry Video Game Nerd video for being a complete pile of garbage. You know what -- I'm just going to go take some medication now.
TASing or playing back a DOS game? Make sure your files match the archive at RGB Classic Games.

I have neither the programming skills, nor the patience to wait out a BisqBot run of this, but it would certainly be a very viable option for an improved version. I would personally be honored to be obsoleted by a robot :)

I think this is a decent game to run. It certainly has that monopoly feel to it. Even a bot would have trouble finding the most optimal way to play this game. Yes vote.

Largely an exercise in luck manipulation, but the right length for what it is. Yes vote here.

It isn't as entertaining as the monopoly run, but I think it would be interesting to see how fast solitaire can be done on the nes. Yes vote for me.

Haven't watched the actual video (I have problems with fceu in linux...) but the idea sounds fun. I look forward to watching the avi if this gets published.
