[TAS] NES Darkman by Denial140 in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/4848M
TAS originally published on 2022-10-01
Darkman is a game loosely based on the movie of the same name. In this side-scrolling platformer, the player controls Darkman, a superhero who can jump, kick and punch, as well as swing from a rope during action sequences between levels. In each level, Darkman disguises himself as the boss of the level, whom he must defeat before the time limit runs out.
Denial140 ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/D... ) improves on the previous run by 23 seconds thanks to better understanding of how the game spawns and handles the objects Darkman can interact with, leading to lots of optimizations. For more details, you can read the author's notes ( tasvideos.org/7684S ).

Love TASes that make unplayable messes seem exciting and fun.

[@ThiagoMnab]

The Regular speedrun is fun.

[@Jreth]

The only way this was beatable!
Well done.

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

It was awesome back in the day.
Great music and story made sense, unlike most other games.
Yes it was difficult but many NES games weren't supposed to be completed each time.

[@ke8mattj]

I must've fell asleep when the ninjas were in the movie.

[@RetroGamesMas]

This game was hard asf but really epic. This game can count way up than darksouls

[@LettersAndNumbers300]

“He has Taken” lol

[@Mikewee777]

This movie was creepy. At least Batman was light-hearted about it's casual off-screen murders.

[@tdelfino2509]

That's Sam Raimi for you 😅

[@XenoGuru]

You think you're confused as to what the hell is going on in this game...
Try watching it stoned 🥴

[@mywifesboyfriend5558]

Ah yes, this game looks decent, plays horribly. Fun to watch, though.

[@edward9487]

What's it with masks quality and shooting people...? What's it's purpose if the TAS went for better than poor?

[@Denial140TAS]

The higher quality masks give more time to complete the subsequent levels, which would take longer to count down at the end of each level.

[@firestyleberg2431]

I wonder if anyone watches this stuff anymore

[@Mikewee777]

Ummm

[@reginaokami]

I mean, I've been into watching TASes since I was like 10 or 11, and I'm currently 23yo so... Guess I'll wait until newer generations of consoles are able to be TASeable lol

[@dominiksikorski8479]

It doesn't matter

[@ke8mattj]

Been watching since 2006 when I was back in college.
