[TAS] NES Silver Surfer by Skaad & HardCoreMangeur in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2012-11-04
Silver Surfer is a shoot 'em up released in 1990. You take control of the Silver Surfer across various levels that alternate between a side-scrolling and an overhead perspective.
The game is infamous for its legendary difficulty. The Silver Surfer has an enormous hitbox and can only take one hit, and there are many enemies cluttering each of the levels. To make matters worse, touching any wall, no matter how softly, results in instant death.
Despite this, Skaad (tasvideos.org/...) and HardCoreMangeur (tasvideos.org/...) ride through the game without harming a single enemy (except for the bosses, which are destroyed to be able to progress). Listen for the great music by the Follin brothers!

    It's the least the developers could do was make awesome music. If you're a human playing this, you're very likely going to hear it over and over again.

    Even after all these years, I'm still astounded at how good the music is in this game. If I dodn't know any better and I was told this was some bouncy techno hit from the 80's, I'd totally believe it. The quality of these tracks are exquisite. Gotta give major props to Tim Follin!

    Surprised it doesn’t have “pacifist” in the title of the video, since the Silver Surfer seems to only kill when absolutely necessary.

    This game is so hard, it would actually be easier to go outside in a thunderstorm and try to dodge rain. It would be easier to walk barefoot without your toes or heels touching the floor. It would be easier to pick fly shit outta pepper... while wearing boxing gloves! The fact that you can get hit only once pretty much means that you're weaker than every other enemy in the game. HOW DO YOU DIE... FROM JUST TOUCHING A WALL!? I can understand if he's flying at, like 200MPH and he crashes into the wall, but the fact that he just 'touches' the wall and dies is just ridiculous!

    Even though Pacifist runs are always impressive to watch, I still find 100% kills runs more satisfying. There's something about letting enemies go that I can't quite describe, but it leaves me with an "unfinished business" aftertaste if that makes any sense!

    They would need to add NUMEROUS upgrades, such a health bar (5 hits to start), no more death on collisions, different weapons, screen-clearing bombs, less random enemy patterns, checkpoints, actual challenging bosses with health bars and a true ending. Yeah, Silver Surfer is a slave to Galactus, so him destroying the machine sorta makes sense. However, if in each level, there is something for the Surfer to collect so he could rebel against Galactus, that would help.

    graphically the game looks great for nes era, the soundtrack is fantastic but man they really made the gameplay unfun lack of autofire, terrain being a instakill along with anything else, and these combined with catastrophically brutal level design choices (for example firelord stage 2, possessor stage 2, mephisto stage 1) i played this game through on emulator years ago using a fuckton of savestates and the only factor that made it easier was staying alive with all the shot upgrades but even then if you died some of the checkpoints you respawned from were impossible to survive without said upgrades
