All these TAS videos make me jealous I never recorded my corrupted speedrun of Willow for the NES. The game was similar to Zelda 1, a tile-based world. There was a code[1] that allowed you access and change what tile willow was on at any given moment. Basically teleport to any room in the game. The on screen enemies would teleport with you. A crazy mixture of moving to certain rooms with certain enemies would trigger the game's final battle sequence with an easy-to-defeat weak monster, causing you to beat the game in under 10 minutes.
If anyone here on HN knows of anyone out there making a vid of this, please tell me. :) I can't remember how to do it anymore.

- eridius 14y agoI knew about that code, but I never knew you could use it to jump to the end. Come to think of it, I never actually got very far with that game. I should re-play it. I always got bored and started warping around the game at random.
- duskwuff 14y agoNot sure whether you mean the debug mode or the Game Genie code here, but both of these would be considered off-limits to most TASes. The former because it involves starting with a password (equivalent to starting from a save game, if I understand correctly?), and the latter because GG codes modify the game you're playing.
