I think I will make a dual TAS of Ghostbusters (U) and Back to the Future (U). Since they're both movie-based games, have overhead views, and so much more in common I thought I might do these games! Now I understand that some people might not think this would be a good idea at first but they are a fantastic choice of games to play at the same time when you think about it! :)

I'm not sure how well it'll work with one movie ending in ~2 minutes and the other ending in ~18 minutes, unless there's some way to make Ghostbusters longer.

are you going to be TASing them separately or together at the same time, like they did with the mega man runs?

Yes, that's right! I will do it together and synchronize the endings. Also, The 2 minute speedrun for Ghostbusters was for the Japanese version. I'll be using the U.S. version because it doesn't have the shortcut where you keep buying and selling Ghost Alarm to get $15,000. Plus it's the original, despite me using the Japanese version for my other movie. It's like in the NES Mega Man quad run where they used the U.S. version of Mega Man 3 instead of the Japanese counterpart. I haven't started it yet but I promise you all it will be the biggest and best multi-game TAS EVER!!! :D In fact, I can synchronize the entire movie so that it really does look like one TAS meant for BOTH games! :D Edit: (1/6/2010) Okay, just finished the tests! I think that I might have to play Ghostbusters through more than once. I played my movie (.fm2) of Back to the Future while having another FCEUX window open and I was playing Ghostbusters. Basically I had two FCEUX files open, one for my TAS of Back to the Future and the other for Ghostbusters. I finished Ghostbusters twice (I used turbo A for that stairwell!) in a row and Back to the Future just finished the 2nd to last street stage. Wow! Regardless, I think that those two games sound great together and it's like two great songs playing at the same time equals one great song!!! I have to say the sound quality is great!! I think that this movie will definitely please the audience! I WILL find many ways to make this entertaining even if it means having to beat Ghostbusters more than once in the making of this movie!!

Since you're already TASing mm3,4,5 and 6 seperately, did you ever consider making an improvement to the megaman 3-6 quadrun?

Yeah, right.
"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself. It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success." - Onkar Ghate

For once, pirate's image actually makes sense. I honestly don't think my ears could handle the two songs played at the same time. This will be an interesting idea, though, so I look forward to seeing the final product.

No really! I think this is going to be a great thing for the TASing community! :D I think you all mean that it's so ear-grating that it actually sounds good! ;) I listened to it and I enjoyed it! It's so stimulating! =D Oh, and nice image pirate_sephiroth! Keep them coming! :D

Never thought of that! I will have to put that on my TODO list as well! :) Now I know that I have been made fun of for my theories on games ever since I came on here but I guarantee you all are going to love this!!! :D:D:D This will be the best multi-game TAS if not the best TAS ever!!!

I could watch through 5 Ghostbusters runs and 7 and a half Back To The Future runs so I'm happy someone is doing these runs dually! No WIP yet?

I would be interested into a duo run of those games.Hell, I am alway looking for something like that. All I need to prepare is a loop of AVGN's famous "ASS" and "FUUUUUCK" sound snippets, that I'll playback during the movie. :-)
Contra Force deserves a TAS. D':

Ha! Awesome! :) It's always good to see some more supporters for this two-games-for-one movie! :D Also, I like your sig! Contra Force DOES deserve a TAS! It may suffer from severe lag but it is an underrated game in my opinion (sorry if this is too off topic).

Thanks! :D BTW, I just finished playing Back to the Future and I got 211440!!! That's my new personal best!! :D:D:D I also have a question to ask: Should I abuse the teleportation glitch in Back to the Future (U+D/L+R)?
