[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!

It’s exactly the type of chiptune awesomeness that an indie game would replicate God this soundtrack held up so fucking well you would’ve thought an indie dev made this
TAS sure does make dodging rain look easy.

Same thing with walking barefoot without your toes or heels touching the floor and picking fly shit out of pepper while wearing boxing gloves.

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

I just learned some shmups enforce that, as in dynamic difficulty increases with the shots fired and enemies killed, resulting in 1CC/TAS gameplay getting more benevolent patterns than the average player
Tim Follin is still a legend for us
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!

@@nanomachines2954 if this game had an energy bar that allowed for 3 or 5 hits, I think it would be awesome.
Regarding Silver Surfer on the NES, a wise man once said, "This game is a shitload of fuck"
Wow.. These beats are really sick and awesome
There's a certain satisfaction in seeing poorly developed games receive Tool Assisted Speedruns. It feels like justice to witness these games being played to their full potential.
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!
Music is a timeless chiptune masterpiece
Silver Surfer: Watch me graze danmaku with my huge hitbox!
This was how I played it my first time through.
I think I’m follin in love with this music 😍
Sight to be behold.
Totally styled on them !!! GG
I beat this game some years back. After playing Bullet Hell games, it actually isnt too bad.

If you play enough touhou, anything is possible.
Wonder if someone could do a "maximum kills, highest score" variant of Silver Surfer TAS?
Is Tim Follin still around? Dude’s a legend in music composition

27:32 looks like he's brushing teeth.
OST slaps hard.
9:43 "F" pickup = Follin, I guess?)
that movement lol what was the point of adding all those inputs? it’s just extra work for nothing but i will admit even if it is tas it’s still impressive.

TAS videos are not only perfect playthroughs, they must also be entertaining. If it moved only when necesary nobody would want to watch it.
So this is the game about avoiding obstacles and enemies
It they spent half as much effort on the game as they did the bangin soundtrack this could've been fun.
This music is kick ass

This game needs a remaster with more Marvel space antagonists and the final battle against Galactus.

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.

I'd say as a Remaster, it NEEDS to stay 8-bit, so basically give it a more modern retro style. Cause only then can we have Tim's god-tier talent for music.
This game is all right. The music is kick-ass. But it's too easy. I beat it the first time I played it with the Power Glove.

And lessers that completely obstruct the path. Bosses are mandatory kills.
Speedrun says... Silver Surfer pacifist mode is more accurate...
この音の厚み本当に意味がわからない
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
I hear that this was an easy game. (Not!)
Should have been called Silver Surfer pacifist run
