Man, what's with all the TAS distaste? I realize that people don't like when they are passed off as human-played speedruns, but they still have their place in the speedrun community. Back in my hey-day, I made lots of TG16 Tool-assisted runs. In fact, that is how I initially got interested in the TG16. I was into making multiplayer runs, and I found Dungeon Explorer, with it's 5 players. The rest is history.
Also, I used to run Bloody Wolf and Darkwing Duck. Both of my times have been long since beaten.

I am totally for TAS play. I think it's great. I think there's enough room for real-time speed run performers and TAS engineers (I think of TASing as more like engineering than performance). They're both great and can often inform each other. I never get any indication from the GDQ scene that there's any disrespect there for TASing, especially given that many of the speedrunners ultimately can get tips and tricks from TAS runs.

I figured I'd bump this with a heads up that PowerUpWithPride is going to feature LattMackey running Bonk's Adventure at 5:40 EST today, followed by MemoryTAS showing off a new TAS of Bonk's Adventure at 6:15 EST. I also might as well point out that the AGDQ schedule is out, and RottDawg is currently scheduled to run Bloody Wolf at 9:30 AM EST on January 7.

So the channel RetroGamingLiveTV is doing a week long marathon starting Sunday, April 21. And it's opening with a block of 12 TG16/PCE games. You can see the schedule here. And in more personal news, for the last 12 hour speedrun challenge weekend, I decided to see what I could do with Hany on the Road. The page for that is now up here. I was able to bring it down to 21:18, though there's still plenty of room for improvement. I also mapped out all the bonus stages, nurses, and warps and made a guide for their locations on that page, which I think will be of use even to people playing through the game casually.

I feel like Splatterhouse is an extremely speedrunnable game, and pretty fun to do as well. I'm not quite skilled enough though.

Yeah, that one has 6 runners in 2 categories, making it one of the more popular TG16 runs. As for needed skill, you might surprise yourself if you put in the effort. Like I went into Hany on the Road the other weekend thinking that I'd be lucky to get under an hour and probably would need at least a couple continues on any run. But I shocked myself my 1cc-ing it. Then doing it again. And then bringing my time down to 21:18. And Splatterhouse already has some runs, so you can watch those and start with some techniques to build off of.

Figured I'd post a heads up that there's going to be a Bonk's Adventure run at AGDQ tomorrow. It's currently scheduled for 5:57 AM EST, though exact times shift over the course of the marathon. Schedule (which updates constantly): gamesdonequick.com/scheduleStream: www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick
