This topic is for the purpose of discussing #915: Randil's NES Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes of the Lance in 06:18.40

Nice run Randil, very well done despite the game being as weird as it was. It was kind of like a SMB1 run with all the running through enemies. I liked the "urragh!" the character would emit when he/she fell down that hole (or whatever it was). Voting YES.

Its as obvious this game is horrible from just watching you play, which is good. There probably isn't much room to improve this as you ran/jumped through everything so unless some new glitch can be found I think it looks very good and I vote yes.

Haha, I know what you mean, one thing I noticed was that even though you fall down the pit as the girl Goldmoon, you will hear a man's cry as you fall down. Maybe Goldmoon isn't really a woman??? :) I'm glad you liked the run, guys!

Wow, what a terrible game :) Definite yes from me on the run though. Who'd have thought the company that would eventually make Panzer General could have cranked out such drek.

Nice one Randil! One part of the movie is funny: When the litlle green guy is just about to stab you, you teleport out of danger. It seems like that enemy kills you. EDIT: Oh, btw, I'll vote YES!

In fact, that enemy is just one frame from hitting me, so if I had waited one more frame, I would have got hit. But I agree that it looks quite funny :)

The only way i see someone could improve this is by not going into the menu untill the very last room, wich is probably possible but hard. Great run, if i could vote i would vote: Yes =)

Hmm yes, there are almost infinite possibilities to beat this game, for example, if you want to pass an enemy you always have the choises of either healing up your main character, using protection from evil or to switch main characters. I think this run could perhaps be improved by a huge effort in testing out when to enter the menu and when to avoid doing so. And to be honest, I'm not up to improving this even more, if someone finds out how to improve this run even more than this, I'll humbly accept my defeat. And I'm not sure if this game can be beaten without entering the menu until the last room, I mean, you have to use protection from evil on yourself to get past the first dragon in the sewers, unless you want to kill it. But killing it wastes several seconds, so I'm not sure that doing this without going into the menu before that saves a huge amount of time. Plus the fact that you would probably have to run around with very low HP a lot, thus wasting a lot of time by avoiding lots of enemies and stuff like that. But still, a run where you don't enter the menu until the very last room would be about 20-30 seconds faster. Oh yes, thanks for the mental YES vote, I'll keep it in mind ;)

Maze game is often troublesome to do but OK to see. By the way, it does work on 0.98.12 too.

It's nice to see that this run hasn't been forgotten yet. :) And yes I agree that maze games can be a pain sometimes, but this game wasn't that difficult. SeNn had already done a run of this game before I did this one, so I had the route practically planned out, the hard part was to jump through all the enemies. Thanks for voting Yes by the way, I'm guessing this new Yes vote is from you. ;)

I watched this movie some time ago, but forgot to vote. So, here's another Y.

This run gets now a bit of publicity which it deserves :)

Thanks a lot Aqfaq and Guybrush! :) It feels great that people enjoy this movie. It was fun to make, and fun to watch it seems, so it's a win-win situation. I know this game isn't the best game there is for NES, but it makes a pretty nice TAS anyway I think.

Like in the other run from SeNn's, you must still press some buttons at the end to see the full ending. I think the real end is where stand to be Continued. After that nothing came anymore. But many message is not shown here. Or must I wait longer? So in the moment I will not vote for that movie. But the run itself looks good. Only the missing ending is bad for me.

EDIT: I'll check this out, hold on... *checking* Nope, there doesn't seem to be any way to make the to be continued text go away. I tried pressing all buttons a lot, especially Start, and I waited for about 10 000 frames to see if the text disappeared, but nothing worked. The FAQ on Gamefaqs didn't mention anything about anything happening after the to be continued text either. So as I see it, this movie should end where it does, because no input changes anything after my movie has ended. You could savestate at the very end of my movie and try out yourself if you don't understand what I mean. If anyone knows anything about an ending after the to be continued text, let me know.

Okay, now I see what you mean. You are right, the movie ends on a screen where all the experience points are shown... Crap. Hmm I really don't want to cancel this for just this matter, it seems like such a small detail. It would be good if there was some way to edit the moviefile itself for this submission, because cancelling this just to get to see a "to be continued" text isn't something I really want to do... And this is such a small thing, it doesn't change anything in the movie. So if anyone would like to see the full ending, just skip through the EXP tables after the movie has ended. Anyone knows if there is any way to slightly modify the .fcm in this submission without having to cancel it?

I think some other movies are edited too somehow. Like by this one, there I have see it too and Bisqwit or the author change it. So its possible without cancel the movie itself. #944: nico's GBC Tetris DX in 00:45 But I don't know how this is possible.

Allright, that's good to hear. :) So if any moderator or Bisqwit reads this, I would really appreciate if you could tell me how to edit this .fcm to get the full ending. Thanks in advance.

Nice movie. I've tried this game a few times but could never figure out how to fight. You clearly showed that you knew what you were doing. YES from me. BTW, did you kill the boss in one hit? That's what it looked like to me, but I keep thinking that bosses shouldn't go down that easily.

Thanks a lot Dacicus. :) "With savestates, one always knows what he's doing", as they saying goes. If you're talking about the last boss, then yes, that's a one-hit kill. I don't know why they made the last boss that simple, it would be nice with at least some challenge... Well, it makes the TAS faster anyway ;)

This game is really awful, but the TAS was really fun to watch. I vote yes.

Haha, people seem to dig up some of my old runs lately. .) I'm glad you liked it FreshFeeling, thanks for voting Yes, and congrats on your 100:th post too. ;)
