	Trojan (NES) - 07:40 (US version, emulated run) - Hans Olsson (aka. Walker Boh) This is another one of the series "hard games played to look like they're easy". Keywords: NES; Emulated run; tool-assisted speedrun Downloads: 721 Average rating: (0 review)
	Wizards & Warriors 3 (NES) - 17:53 (US version, emulated run) - Ferret Warlord The premise: Soon after the conflict between Kuros and Malkil in Ironsword, Malkil gets right back up and the two fight again for a bit. In the quarrel, Kuros is knocked out and the Ironsword is lost. Malkil, in order to recuperate, heads to the city of Piedup and overthrows the king. Kuros, in his subsequent wanderings, also comes across Piedup, so once again the two are engaged in conflict. This game is much, much different from its more famous predecessors...

	A Boy and His Blob (NES) - 3:37 (US version, emulated speedrun) - Frank Amoroso (aka. TheAxeMan) This is an often overlooked famous game. Here we have a boy and a "blob" that likes all kinds of candies. When the blob eats these candies, it transforms into different tools the boy can use. Note: The Japanese version of this game (Fushigina Blobby - Blobania no Kiki) has a different boy than this USA version, but otherwise the games are the same. Again this is a new record time. To quote hopper's comment: "Just when you thought this game couldn't get any weirder." Keywords: NES; Emulated speedrun; Tool-assisted speedrun Downloads: 1,349
	A Boy And His Blob (NES) - 05:37 (US version, emulated run) - Sjoerd Henstra This is an often overlooked famous game. Here we have a boy and a "blob" that likes all kinds of candies. When the blob eats these candies, it transforms into different tools the boy can use. Note: The Japanese version of this game has a different (and better looking) boy than this USA version, but otherwise the games are the same.

	Addams Family - 14:46 (US version, emulated run) - Hans Olsson (aka. Walker Boh) This timeattack is about Addams Family, but not the Fester's Quest one. This is really the seventh version, and the first published version. Note: This movie may not look cool, but the player is not to be blamed. The game is a little bad. You have to avoid objects by afar if you don't want to get hit, and you really have to collect $1M to complete the game. In my opinion Hans has done very good job perfecting this movie.

	Addams Family, The (NES) - 13:43 (US version, emulated run) - Hans Olsson (aka. Walker Boh) Author's comments: Addams Family time!! My previous run was the first time attack I made. And today (or maybe in a week or two) it's one year since I started to time attack games. A year of time attacking gives some experience :D I don't know why but I like this game. Maybe because it's pretty fun to search the different areas in the house and collecting various stuff. Some word of the game maybe. You play as Gomez who is gonna save his wife (or whatever) from that evil dude in the basement... Keywords: Emulated run; tool-assisted speedrun; NES Downloads: 1,201 Average rating: (0 review)
	Adventures of Bayou Billy (NES) - 18:10 (US version, emulated run) - Phil Côté Bayou Billy's girlfriend has been kidnapped by Gordon, the crime boss of the swamps, and Billy's out for some revenge. Despite consisting mostly of side-scrolling combat stages, THE ADVENTURES OF BAYOU BILLY is cool because it also contains racing and shooting levels. The american version is a lot harder than the japanese one(Mad City). In this video, it doesn't seem so.

	The Adventures of Rad Gravity (NES) - 17:51 (US version, emulated run) - Torfi Gunnarsson (aka. Blublu) Here's my Rad Gravity run. I must give thanks to Spoony Bard. Without his first version, I would never have been motivated enough to make this run. My general route is basically the same, but with lots of optimizations in each level. I discovered that the disk that allows you to fly isn't actually neccesary. However, it does allow for a nice shortcut. I only need to use it once, so I only get two energy tanks (it costs two full energy tanks to use it)... Keywords: NES; Emulated run; tool-assisted speedrun Downloads: 294 Average rating: (0 review)
	Altered Beast (Genesis) - 06:22 (US version, emulated speedrun) - Danny Fowler Altered Beast is a game that looks like it could have been found in an arcade playing machine. In each level, the player must beat collect 3 powerups in order to transform into a powerful beast and fight the boss of that level. This game was one of the first games of the Sega Genesis system. This might look like it's an auto-scrolling game, but in fact the scroll speed depends on if there's any enemies on screen...

	Arkanoid (NES) - 16:30 (US version, emulated run) - Jean-François Durocher (aka. Genisto) This is an incredible timeattack of Arkanoid made by Genisto, comparable to Morimoto's Gradius movie. No ball is ever lost, despite that three balls are juggled in almost all levels. Keywords: NES; Emulated run; tool-assisted speedrun Downloads: 3,401 Average rating: (2 reviews)
	Astyanax (NES) - 17:09 (US version, emulated speedrun) - Hans Olsson (aka. Walker Boh) Note from author: Now I have finally improved this. Peoples seems to enjoy this movie and I can't really understand why ;) anyways, here we go. I have intended to improve this a long time now because my current version looks like a piece of junk actually. It's somewhat sloppy and clumsy. First a few words about the game before I go on. Astyanax is a straight forward slashing game. It's pretty hard because the controls are really stupid and the hero and all enemies are really twice the size, this...

	Atlantis No Nazo (NES) - 02:40 (Japanese version, emulated speedrun) - Nick Vatcher (aka. Vatchern) Atlantis no Nazo is a game where an explorer is trying to save his friend and must find his way through a maze of rooms. In this case, levels. This is an improvement of mere 6 frames (0.1 seconds) over the previous version by the same author. It's an optimized version of the fast walkthrough of the game originally devised by Morimoto.

	Atlantis no Nazo (NES) - 2:41 ( Japanese version, emulated speedrun) - Nick Vatcher (aka. Vatchern) Atlantis no Nazo is a game where an explorer is trying to save his friend and must find his way through a maze of rooms. In this case, levels. The previous author (Morimoto) wasted some time before pressing start and before ending his movie, but even if not counting that, this movie is ~77 frames faster than the previous version. The author wishes to thank Morimoto and Randil for contributions that made this movie possible. Keywords: NES; Emulated speedrun; Tool-assisted speedrun Downloads: 241
	Atlantis (NES) - 2:46 (Jap version, emulated run) - Morimoto In western countries I guess nobody knows this game. This game seems to have obscure secrets similar to Zelda. Nazo = riddle, puzzle. Keywords: NES; Emulated run; tool-assisted speedrun Downloads: 1,371 Average rating: (0 review)
	Batman (NES) - 09:24 (US version, emulated speedrun) - J.L. (aka. Jecy) The hero of Gotham City goes against the villain of Gotham City. His fists are more powerful than any weapon in the world, but he rarely kills anyone. It's not like his enemies can hurt him anyway. After all, he's the hero, and heroes are supposed to be invincible. In just a month after making the awesome 9:32 Batman movie, Jecy has found ways to improve the time by another 8 seconds! Enjoy the movie, and the excellent soundtrack and the graphics of this game. Keywords: NES; Emulated speedrun; Tool-assisted speedrun Downloads: 2,318

His fists are more powerful than any weapon in the world, but he rarely kills anyone. It's not like his enemies can hurt him anyway. After all, he's the hero, and heroes are supposed to be invincible. This movie is very good - Linnom clearly is very good at this game.

	Battle of Olympus (NES) - 19:52 (US version, emulated run) - Jeff C (aka. Arc) Battle of Olympus improved by 3:33. I'll try to only talk about the most important points: The main thing to talk about is olive collection. 60 olives have to be collected to buy the ocarina. Instead of devoting time to collecting them like Jackic did, I just collected them along the route. However, this did require a lot of planning, because there are only about ~78 single-attack-death enemies with the potential to drop olives before reaching Poseidon, who sells the ocarina...

	Battle of Olympus (NES) - 23:25 (US version, emulated speedrun) - Manuel García López (aka. Jackic) Battle of Olympus (オリュンポスの戦い) improved by 2:06 again. The author calls this version "final", but because of the somewhat boring looking olive collecting scene near the beginning of the movie, I doubt this will be the final version.

	Battletoads (NES) - Two Player 15:29 (US version, emulated run) - Mário de Almeida Azevedo Junior (aka. FODA) About the game: Battletoads is the game known to be very hard and few people have actually beaten it. It features a female villain and a lot of humorous dialogues. Features: - One person controls 2 characters - Uses warps - Takes damage to save time - Abuses programming errors in the game - Manipulates luck About the run: - Beats Phil and Genisto's time by 3 minutes and 50 seconds.

	Battletoads(NES) - 24:57 (US version, emulated speedrun) - Mário de Almeida Azevedo Junior (aka. FODA) This run has two players and does not use warps. As always, a bug on level 11 prevents player 2 from moving, so he gets a gameover for that level. Player 1 plays level 11 alone and player 2 comes back for level 12. This is a bug in Battletoads itself. Keywords: NES; Emulated speedrun; Tool-assisted speedrun Downloads: 1,176
	Battletoads (NES) - 13:28 (US version, emulated speedrun) - Phil Côté and Jean-François Durocher (aka. Genisto) This game is known to be close to impossible. This single-player run through it uses warps. Maybe you thought Battletoads was a game full of amphibians, but it is actually full of bugs. Those beta testers really should have spent a little more time on this game... Keywords: NES; Emulated speedrun; Tool-assisted speedrun Downloads: 1,834 Average rating: (1 review)

	Wrath of the Black Manta (NES) - 10:37 (US version, emulated speedrun) - Hans Olsson (aka. Walker Boh) In this game you are supposed to hunt down an evil crime syndicate (so what else is new?) by freeing kids from blocks of ice, and capturing the red guys to get clues. Unfortunately the ninja didn't have time for that, he just walks past all baddies and kills the bosses. This syndicate turns out to be selling drugs, but the Black Manta sets them straight: "Drugs kill you think you're cool but you're not." Yeah! This version is 25 seconds faster than the previous version by the same author... Keywords: NES; Emulated run; tool-assisted speedrun Downloads: 2,424 Average rating: (0 review)

Namflow) * No Warps (no warps available in the game) * Only necessary items (and a few health power-ups left by monsteres) * Takes damage to save time * Uses death to save time * Uses continues to save time * Manipulates luck * Exploits glitchees Blaster Master is quite a long game (with the current time attack at 42:57). The game consists of two main modes, when you are in the tank in an overworld kind of mode, and when you are jason exploring dungeons (where the bosses are.) You can also use jason whil...

	Blaster Master (NES) - 33:18 ( US version, emulated speedrun) - Rich Golden (aka. Namflow) Jason's pet frog escaped and got into some radioactive material underground. Naturally, there's a tank handy and Jason's first reaction is to go after his frog. This game is considered to be very difficult to beat.

	Blues Brothers (NES) - 04:52 (US version, emulated speedrun) - Jean-FranÃ§ois Lapointe (aka. Acmlm) This game is really fast-paced.

	Blue Shadow (NES) - 12:03 (European version, emulated speedrun) - Timo TaipaleenmÃ¤ki (aka. Shinryuu) This game is known as Shadow of the Ninja in the USA. In this game, jumping and slashing is faster than regular running. Note: This movie was played in NTSC mode, even though the game is a PAL game. Therefore, the AVI plays 16.7% too fast. The real completion time should be 12:03, not 10:02. But even noting that, this is an improvement of almost two minutes over the previous movie by Exim.

	Blue Shadow (NES) - 13:55 (Europe version, emulated speedrun) - Peter Bucher (aka. Exim) This game is known as Shadow of the Ninja in the USA. In this game, jumping and slashing is faster than regular running. This timeattack looks quite good. Note: Famtasia plays PAL games at NTSC speed, that is 16.7% too fast. Thus the AVI is significantly faster than the movie should actually be. Keywords: NES; Emulated run; tool-assisted speedrun Downloads: 756 Average rating: (0 review)
	Akumajou Special - Boku Dracula-kun (NES) - 20:42 (Japan version, emulated speedrun) - Phil Côté and Jean-François Durocher (aka. Genisto) For the fans of the Castlevania series - here's a timeattack of a Castlevania game that is hmm.. much much more aimed to children than the darker themed games. The game was only released in Japan. There was a Game Boy sequel which did get released elsewhere known as Kid Dracula.

	Boulder Dash (NES) - 20:08 (US version, emulated speedrun) - Chris Strake (aka. CtrlAltDestroy) Boulder Dash is a wellknown action-puzzle game where you must collect a quota of diamonds and reach the exit. Normally, standing under any falling object or just getting close to an enemy means instant death, but in this movie the player fearlessly dives trough heaps of falling objects and walks past enemies without a scratch. It's quite pleasureable to watch if you have ever sat screaming at this game for getting stuck or killed repeatedly... Keywords: NES; Emulated speedrun; Tool-assisted speedrun Downloads: 862
	Bubble Bobble (NES) - 27:18 (US version, emulated speedrun) - Mattias Berggren (aka. Tarzan) This movie features one player controlling two characters simultaneously. Despite the movie being so long, it's nearly the fastest possible warpless time through Bubble Bobble. There are over 100 levels, and each level ends with 10.75 seconds of unskippable time.

	Bucky O'Hare (NES) - 29:39 (US version emulated speedrun) - Kim Bach (aka Torn) A little-known game based on an old cartoon, in Bucky O'Hare you soon have access to 5 unique characters, each of which has a special ability ranging from flight to a powerful gunshot. What's more, it is not necessary to access a menu in order to switch from character to character, allowing the player to use whoever they'd like without sacrificing any time. A wide variation in levels is also seen, ranging from outerspace self-scrolling levels, to fast paced platform-based levels inside a large s...

Meant to submit this back when FCEU first became accepted, but never got around to it until now... This is one of the most frustratingly random NES games ever, along with its quasi-sequel Sword Master (which I will also submit eventually, after I make another improved version).

	Akumajou Densetsu (Castlevania 3) (NES) - 25:57 (Japan version, emulated speedrun) - Jean-François Durocher (aka. Genisto) This is the story of Dracula's curse from the times before the first Castlevania game. The original name of the game is 悪魔城伝説. Technically, this game has a really high quality soundtrack - mostly because it uses a VRC6 chip that the Nintendo of America considered too expensive to include in the game cart. That's why the movie was made for the Japanese version instead of the USA version. (No, it still isn't SNES quality yet - don't be disappointed.) This movie is interesting, because th...

	Akumajou Densetsu (Castlevania 3) (NES) - 28:32 (Japan version, emulated speedrun) - Phil Côte This is the story of Dracula's curse from the times before the first Castlevania game. The original name of the game is 悪魔城伝説. This movie is interesting, because the game is complex and difficult and the soundtrack is good. This movie features the Sypha path, which is 2:37 slower than the Alucard path played by Genisto. Keywords: NES; Emulated run; tool-assisted speedrun Downloads: 3,747 Average rating: (0 review)
	Castlevania (NES) - 11:43 (US version, emulated speedrun) - Phil Côté and Jean-François Durocher (aka. Genisto) This is Genisto's and Phil's joint effort at Castlevania. Also features a higher final score. This movie uses several techniques for speed: * Abusing monsters as a platform for shortcuts * Optimized usage of weapons * Luck abuse for items (Ⅱ and Ⅲ) ― nearly impossible to duplicate * Abusing the main character as a critical hit weapon at bosses * Using bottles to restrain and pass through enemies And standard optimizations such as not using stairs when jumping is possible.

	Circus Charlie (NES) - 03:25 (Japanese version, emulated speedrun) - Phil Côté and Jean-François Durocher (aka. Genisto) Circus Charlie is a simple game that most people probably know from pirate multigame carts. The first stages are easy for anyone even on real NES, but stage 3 is already quite challenging. This movie plays "1 player game A" (easy). Stage times: 3410, 3560 , 3750 , 3890 , 4270 Keywords: NES; Emulated run; tool-assisted speedrun Downloads: 2,600 Average rating: (1 review)

You play as Bang, a special ops agent sent to Mt. Demonhead to rescue Professor Plum and retrieve his Doomsday Bomb. The came is comprised over various 'Routes' which are connected at certain nodes. Each Route is a side-scrolling stage with two exits, which will take you to two other nodes.

Whereas the previous movie sometimes went for speed and sometimes for points, this one has speed as the primary goal, and only gets as many points as possible when it doesn't waste time. For example it deliberately misses some targets and swimmers to reduce score-counting at the end of levels... Keywords: NES; Emulated speedrun; Tool-assisted speedrun Downloads: 754
	Cobra Triangle (NES) - 17:55 (US version, emulated speedrun) - Hans Olsson (aka. Walker Boh) This game is something as unusual as a boat game where you race to the finish, rescue swimmers from being abducted, dispose of bombs, kill big-ass sea monsters and shoot targets. This movie aims for fastest time but makes some deviances from that goal to get more points: for example it saves all the swimmers where just saving one would have been slightly faster.

	Contra (NES) - 09:34 (US version, emulated speedrun) - Jean-François Durocher (aka. Genisto) Trivia: This game was released as Probotector in Europe with slightly modified graphics. It is also known as GryZor on some other systems. It's the guy who has infinite supply of ammo and who destroys worlds bare-chested. Here we have Genisto again doing what nobody could have seen coming. This updated movie demonstrates very well how important accuracy can be (by being half a minute faster than the previous version).

I've been working on it for a few months and am at about 5 minutes out of 40. I'll hopefully finish it someday, but I don't want to be in a big hurry.

Actually, the author manages to do it almost 3,5 minutes faster than the previous author, thanks to some route changes. Check the author's comments for more detailed information.
