Here's an entire section about this in BootlegGames. Unfortunately for you this game has 5 stages if I'm not mistaken. And there could be arguments to never get this published due to what could be the controversial image.

So no, I still don't like watching this movie.

Let's not have a published TAS of this, for the same reason not to have a published TAS of Custer's Revenge.

With the game over screen and such there's obviously some unsavory aspects to this game, but none that I think are too severe or graphic to withhold publication. It's not like Custer's Revenge which would be in clear violation of our adult game policy for multiple reasons. EDIT: With that said I did overlook the general premise of this game, which violates our site rules on hateful conduct. My mistake for not realizing this sooner.

5 stages

wdym by that?

om, nom, nom... blech, salty!

Was it really necessary to wipe the original submission comments? Those can still be useful to other runners/TASers after all, and just because a submission doesn't get published doesn't mean that people might not still watch it in submission form

i'm gonna un-cancel this anyway as i still have the original submission comments saved. i'll be keeping the end point as "kill the final boss" just to keep it simple.

Nothing is lost; all is preserved https://tasvideos.org/Wiki/PageHistory?path=InternalSystem%2FSubmissionContent%2FS8655

no need, i had the submission text saved on my ipad already. thanks anyway tho

Please don't cancel a submission if you have no intention to keep it cancelled. It makes everything harder to follow like this, especially if you wipe all submission text.

sorry about that. spikestuff confused me with their post.

I'll chime in because I analyzed this game myself one day and I want to get out some more details. Note that I use the non-CM version for my pointer references.

• There is no RNG whatsoever for the enemies (three different movement types), the cars or the powerup spawning orders or timers. I'll break down the lists I found for each one:
  • The enemy ID spawn list at $80AA55 (which has timers and object IDs attached together) loops after 30 enemies.
  • The enemy X coordinate spawn list at $80AA42 loops after 18 enemies.
  • Cars, which spawn in as the 14th and 30th enemies, have their own Y spawning coordinate index. The list, stored at $80AA2E, loops after nine cars, but it's just 3 entries duplicated 3 times.
  • Powerup drop lists, stored at $80AF2F are handled on a per-kill basis, and loop after 40 kills. The invincibility powerup (which renders you invincible for 480 frames, or 8 seconds to NTSC standards) spawns upon the 16th and 31st kills. Death "powerups" are more common, spawning upon the 2nd, 10th, 11th, 17th, 19th, 22nd, 30th, 31st, 37th and 39th kills.
• The boss spawns after 30 kills and it is the only interruption to the regular gameflow.

The argument that I have for the TAS is taking out the boss, though the game continues after this. But the argument that I have against this... is everything, and I mean everything, being a fixed list. The spawn and timer lists effectively reset after 90 enemies (the least common denominator of the three combined), and the only other difference is the powerup drop list, which runs on a per-kill basis and not a per-spawn basis. Thus, going through 90 enemies and at least one boss, even without accounting for the powerup drop list, would exhaust all unique content (assuming nothing else can be found). And yes, the music does eventually stop... but it's caused by a combination of the phrase data stopping the song instead of looping it and a bug in the music data. The entire song is two notes of 35,712 tempo ticks. The music data has a bug in it that causes the second note to be silent. The tempo is set to the slowest value possible, for 1, and it uses the original source N-SPC variant, as I documented here on the SNESLab wiki. I estimate that it would take five hours and four minutes before it would stop playing.

Thus, going through 90 enemies and at least one boss, even without accounting for the powerup drop list, would exhaust all unique content (assuming nothing else can be found).

thanks for your research. this is a much clearer end point. i’ll start working on it tomorrow after school.

done. https://tasvideos.org/UserFiles/Info/638320272889924271

Cancel the publication, seriously. This game is serious offense and does not deserve publication.

This will be done. I sincerely apologize for what happened here. I'll make a full news post once I understand the situation more.

This movie has been unpublished and reset to a pending submission. The posts after this message will continue to apply to the submission.
