I have the original disc of this game (PAL version). When I get home from work I'll see if this works on PCSX-RR and I'll start TASing it. For those who don't know what Z is, it's basically a strategy game (similar to C&C) with drunken robots :) I found it a fairly hard game to play on the PSX, so TASing it and grabbing all the bases before the AI do will be sweet. Thoughts and comments welcome.

I used to play this on PC! It was a really cool game. Nothing too spectacular, but it had replay value. For those of you who know the Onslaught mode in Unreal Tournament: Z is basically one of the early versions of that concept, except it's a strategy game. It's top-down and uses a map that's divided into several areas, each with its own flag and factory. If you touch the flag, the area will be yours and the factory will start producing units for you. The point of the game, like in Onslaught, is to overwhelm the enemy by fighting for areas.

Well, there's a Warcraft 2 TAS that got published, so crazy things can happen! :) I know that Z is a hard game to beat, but that may or may not be shown off in a TAS especially to people unfamiliar with the game. Could always TAS the stage you'd think the most impressive and encode just that to see what viewer reaction is.

The rules are 1) If there are more time saving glitches in some versions than others, pick the version with the most 2) If the different versions are like different difficulty levels, then pick the hardest 'difficulty level' (UNLESS being on a harder difficulty level just adds repetition and tedium to the viewer experience, then play on the easiest difficulty level) 3) If you haven't chosen yet pick US
