Hi! First of all, I'm new to the forums, though not new to the site. I've been coming here and enjoying TASes for close to 5 years now. Great place! I've always wanted to do my own TAS, but all of the videos I watch are so great that I never feel as though I could do as awesome of a job. I watched adelikat's videos on beginning techniques for TASing, and I'm slowly getting used to everything, which leads me to my first question... Would RC Pro Am 2 be a bad game choice to TAS? I've played this game ever since I was able to pick up a controller, and I love the game, even though it is quite hard for a racing game. Recently I've picked it back up on console and one day noticed I was able to throw myself through a wall on a turn. I came out on the other end, and considering it was on a console, I was unable to experiment with this glitch any further. What do you guys think? Worth TASing? Would anyone like to help with this one? Thanks, and I look forward to becoming a TAS expert!

Well, for a lot of games, how good those are for TASing is not known before a TAS is attempted. Make a run of the first (or first few) tracks and post a link to appropriate games forum (since this is a NES game, to "NES Games"). If there is not already a thread for the game, make one.

There's old topic discussing RC Pro AM TASing. http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2779 RC Pro AM 2 supports fourscore, allowing 4P TAS, which greatly extends entertainment possibilities. So I think this game can produce good TAS. Maybe it isn't the best choice for a newbie to pick, but it's not a bad game choice, definitely worth investigating.
