This is an interesting little game, and it seems to be pretty well made too despite not too many people (apparently) being familiar with it. Lots of interesting gameplay physics at work here, I'd love to see it done. It's pretty clear what the fastest method is, the floating helicopter blades... but you can't just drop... and if you jump you'll use it again... it's weird... if there was just a way to cancel the helicopter it would be a lot easier to use. Anyway, there's just my two cents. Thought I'd throw that one out there...

http://tasvideos.org/245S.html No one really liked it. Plus, I had a hard time making it complete itself back then, and I have yet to care about it since. It's a straightforward game, so anyone could take my movie and improve it by at least 15 seconds. If you need the .smv, just ask.

I'd love to do a TAS of Inspector Gadget. It think its a good game to choose because you can use "gadgets", which would make for an interesting run. If anyone would like to see what this game is like, I can make a practice run of level 1.

So, just because a past movie didnt work out means it cant be remade? Or are you implying something else?

I think he wants you to watch it for pointers or something. The main reason my submission didn't get accepted was because it never finished. Also, frame advance would have helped a lot.

Heh, ok. I'm guessing that was one of your first TAS's, which is why it wasnt that great.
