[TAS] NES Time Lord by link_7777 & Alyosha in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/4610M
TAS originally published on 2022-03-28
In the year 2999, an evil planet has sent armies to four different time periods, with the objective of changing history in order to make mankind easier to expunge in the present. The "Time Lord" has to destroy all the armies by January 1st, 3000 or he'll self-destruct along with the time machine.
Against link_7777 ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/l... ) and alyosha ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/a... ), they don't stand a chance, as they quickly run through the levels destroying the armies and never taking damage.

There's not THAT much variation in how NES music can sound, but damn does David Wise's style stick out. It's Rare on NES so it had to be him, but I think I might have recognized him regardless

I had this game and never beat it. Some people I told about it didn't believe me that it existed because it sounds bizarre when you try to explain it.

[@MurseSamson]

I never freaking understood what to do in this game.

[@jagergerg9771]

Pretty nice looking for a NES game.

This game seems like the type that JD and Brennan would call gnarly or tubular.

Seems like the aliens should have left humanity alone and let it eat itself in the 21st century.

Wow, Milton Bradley, what the hell is game design, yeah? At least you got to send Fighter from FF1 on a journey through time while music that sounds like it oughtta come from a game by Rare plays out of key. Absolute mad props to the author of this TAS for having THIS MUCH PATIENCE!

[@Enigma1788]

Funny you should mention Rare. Look at the copyright screen at 0:05 🤣

[@sarcasticguy4311]

What the hell did I just watch?

[@Bloodstar6078]

Bimmy traveling through time to grab those orbs from Castlevania? Enemies with no hit/stun animation?

[@sarcasticguy4311]

@@Bloodstar6078 Wow, I think you summed that up quite accurately. Nicely done.

So someone calling themselves the “time lord” wears a red wife beater, red slacks, and black boots with a ginger mop top hairstyle? When exactly has this ever been stylish throughout the entire history of humanity as we know it? Maybe in the future we all dress like this, i really hope not.
