The greatest game you've never played. In short, it's a budget title released in Europe and bootlegged to some parts of the US and Asia. The GBA version seems a bit better due to the fact the music is varied a bit more and there isn't any loading times. Current wip: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/28641926819386188 Link to video
Enter the Matrix is a piece of garbage but I'm gonna finish it if it kills me.

I've joined the TAS. We're redoing it for better optimization. I'm now "sharing the pain". (quoted from Lars himself) We expect to have this done by December. Wish us luck!

It only took 5 months but it's on again.

BTW I literally have a copy of the game now that I bought. Works and everything. Obviously I got it online for really cheap. I've routed the entire game up to the end of Area 7. I'm halfway through. Then I'll be RTAing this game every other night. My Windows laptop is currently broken so yeah, gonna be pretty hard to TAS, but by the time it's fixed I'll be more than ready, I'll have already known the game from top to bottom.

I just RTA'd the game. I got 46:08 just a few minutes ago. Of course I can't record because it's on a handheld. The point is I'll be doing this over and over every other day until my computer gets fixed. That's right: all 15 areas, including the boss, without getting game over once (I died twice out of three possible times lol). Did not use passwords. Did it in one sitting. Yeah but really this game is hard as fuck. It took me forever to master it (3 whole days!). Area 11 is stupid because a casual player LITERALLY has no control over the lasers while going on the side elevator. The only thing you can do is manipulate the camera and the lasers' loading times. Area 14 is so shitty. It's just insanely hard. Also I think Nilam's health depends on how many times you get hurt by her. I hit her 4 times once, and had to hit her 6 times on this run. I believe 3 hits is the minimum; that is, if you don't get hurt by her at all. Most of everything else is pretty easy. There are some shit parts though, such as one part in Area 9. But yeah I'm unfortunately starting to say I like this game now that Lars and I can seriously destroy it like I am now.
