I hate having to start up a thread just to ask this, but I could not see any other place to fit it. Well, I noticed there's a severe lack of PCE/PCE-CD TASes on this site even after all those years. I was wondering if it's due to lack of interest or because the emulation is not good enough or some other reason. Not that I want to see more TASes for that platform, but I was just wondering.

Lack of interest, mainly. You even said so yourself with that last line. The PCE library isn't exactly well-suited for TASing, at least from what I've seen of it.

Perhaps you're right. The library contains a lot of ill-suited genres such as scrolling shooters, RPG's or digital comics, so yeah.

I know this is an older thread but I have been making an effort to make more PCE tases and getting others interested in checking out the system. Imo it’s extremely underrated as a platform.

This also happened to be posted just before I had made a couple of PCE and related system TASes - afterwards it seemed to have picked up a bit. In the years before, only like a few per year were made on average.

I almost want to make one at least every year to keep it in the spotlight. I always seem to find interesting games for the system that aren’t just shoot em ups or rpgs

Yep, and there’s even some really interesting games with unusual concepts. Like this one that Memory showed me just the other day: https://youtu.be/mruKBoC9lpQ
