This homebrew is very classic. Also...I'm impressed to see a game from a member of this community. Yes vote.

All...sorry for the delay. I wanted to get this right. The last IGT version that I did for F-Zero, missed the score. So here is a frame perfect version with all 1st place finishes and a correct score. Link to video

Oh...I forgot. Here is a YT with the time set at the start of the second course. As you will see, there content is quite different and more complicated. Link to video

Let me step in and clarify from my experiences with this game. Moon Patrol has always been a two course game. The second course, has always been called the "Champion Stage". In this submission, LogansGamingRoom doesn't complete this course and needs to be finished, in order for it to satisfy the rules for "1 Loop". After the 2nd course it complete, the looping begins. I've reached out to the author and have explained that 1 loop requires both courses to be complete. When this submission has expired the initial judging window...I'll set it to "Delayed" so that LGR can provide an updated movie file.

Interesting. On the other far end of the scale, do the moles appear in the same pattern if you miss them all?
Not quite. It seems the hole they appear can change...but the timing is almost the same. Its a weird situation. You can get ahead, but then you fall behind. Its almost like a balance is being maintained.

At first glance I would say you have about a million combinations for moles appearing sooner by delaying frames to save frames. However you claim that is not the case.
Yeah, it was very disappointing. I figured it would have the same kind of RNG control that other C64 games shared. In this case, we found a timer that we couldn't determine any manipulation. I was hoping to see a crazy high score that was astronomical...but nope. :( That is the reason I reached out to DrD2k9.

I have to admit, I'm liking the arguments here, but all I can offer is this: I do a TON of BOTing, which bloats the re-record count; however, it was true effort in searching for the end result. With an upcoming release, my new BOTing will now require that I manually change the value to be 16 times that of a single instance....since I have moved into a new type of speedy BOTing. (Multi-Instance) As for manual effort, re-records on my part do show my effort. As time goes by, my re-record count is getting lower and lower...only because I have improved over the years and don't need to do as much experimenting to figure things out. Now...I can be fine with it being left for public viewing, but I am finding myself not looking at it anymore.

Meanwhile, I was wondering if you'd like the idea of producing an additional movie file that aims for 1st place in all tracks. Nowadays we can easily have multiple movie files for the same publication page, so it could be a nice addition for making all kind of audiences happy. Only if you really feel like doing it, though.
I can do that. Just note, it would end up being an edited run of all the IGT bests. So it would mimic the effort of a pure IGT TAS. I would have to write a lua to help the publisher piece it together though. Give me a day or so.

I have found 3 frames. Because you have an open invitation for co-authorship, I am requesting to be added to your submission. https://tasvideos.org/UserFiles/Info/638150579039424634 Because of that, I am dropping my judgement for another staff member to take up.

I'm annoyed at myself for not finding anything in your previous submission. This just tells you how much time you need to spend with a game to understand it better. I'm going to give this a quick review again.

What's the amount of the non-botted rerecords? Even if you can't retrieve the accurate amount, a rough estimate would already be good.
Honestly...I don't really know. Probably 99% of the re-records were optimized by my BOT. I would be fine if it were set to "zero".

You know, I recognized some of the graphics in here and though of Peril. I looked it up and I was right! The developer made this game as well. I love these games by Vladimir Zúñiga. Yes vote.

I am glad and irritated at the same time at a new finding. I was watching a run, posted by YouTuber "Lost 8-bit Caverns" and his newest Rambo Run. Well, I had an idea from it and I just tested it out. I can't believe this, but I found another way to use the "zip" that I discovered. I need to request a delay, while I fix my run to incorporate this new strategy. No need to delay. The fix was easier to implement than I hoped. It ended up cutting 42 seconds from my previous input file. File was replaced.

By the way, is there an in-game time version of this TAS as well, like for the original F-Zero TAS? I'm asking because I'm personally more interested into individual track records.
There can be...I just have to collect up my 1st place finishes and have them pieced together, as we did the F-Zero version.

I thought it would be worth mentioning, but if I were to have created a TAS against this version with one of today's Chess AIs...it would have taken the Intellivsion more seriously and played less risky to ensure a victory. Instead of 20 moves, it could have been a few more...with tons of time added. As I tested this TAS, against a modern chess AI...I saw more proper "book" moves at the beginning and thus would have led to a delay in the middle game. Winslnator did well to use the known tactics discovered over the years against this game. This submission reminds me of people that knew of their opponents weakness and did everything they could to embarrass them.

I hate it when this happens... If any of you have seen my documentary, strike what I said about the fuel level can't be zero in order for the glitch to work. I just found out more information on the refuel glitch. I'm going to update my submission with notes, and will get a revised input file out soon. I'm glad that I caught this in time. :(
