[4730] DOOM Doom II: Hell on Earth by almostmatt1 & Zero Master in 10:19.40 - Relentless manipulation of enemy behavior. [4834] INTV Tower of Doom "The Fortress" by Winslinator in 00:12.55 - A pretty clever way of instantly winning with an extremely unlikely setup (reading the notes is recommended). [4800] PSX Final Fantasy VII "no slots" by Lil_Gecko in 6:10:51.06 - RPGs normally have a lot of RNG manipulation, but this one stood out to me due to some of the manipulation being planned hours ahead of time.

A couple of lucky TASes I'd like to nominate: [4778] SNES Wario's Woods "Round Game" by PoochyEXE in 31:20.84 Manipulating 100 rounds of pretty inscrutable levels is a tough ask, and this TAS delivers on solving that as swift as possible. [4834] INTV Tower of Doom "The Fortress" by Winslinator in 00:12.55 This takes a very short amount of time manipulating a whole bunch of important factors needed to finish the game in seconds. Also worth reading to get a detailed breakdown of the sequence of events happening since it's a pretty amusing sequence.

Noticing that Warlords isn't among the list of eligible candidates. Is this an error?
