[TAS] NES Rolling Thunder by Randil in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/1494M
TAS originally published on 2010-03-30
Some longlegged secret agent has to rescue his female partner who was kidnapped by Ku Klux Klan-wannabe terrorists led by some space alien wizard. Between the levels, the terrorists dance in front of a giant widescreen TV showing pictures of the woman in risqué positions and of their alien leader. (We wish we were making this up, but NES games can be pretty weird sometimes.)
The author uses a password to get the hardest difficulty, thus not having to finish the game twice. The author also improves on the previous (tasvideos.org/373M) run by about 51 seconds.

I never realized how creepy the cutscenes were.

[@jfliguy]

Me too

The screen says "BLT" but I haven't seen a single sandwich in the entire game!

[@stevenpavelish6017]

Its short term for bullet

Machine gun bullet

I could never get past the lava pit. Damn fire monsters broke like wild horses, and you only have 2 goddamn hit points

[@rad3on929]

2:00 I have several questions..

[@GretgorPooper]

The fact that she's no longer wearing the red shirt she was wearing in the first scene makes it even worse D:
Also, the splashes get even worse as the game goes on D:

Hey, at least they didn’t show her being electrically tortured in this version.

THE GAME OVER SCENE OF THE GOBLIN LAUGHING USE TO CREEP THE SHIT OUTTA ME

[@robbiezampini-is3en]

That's a lot of enemies!

[@RusticTrophies]

Why do they Dabb when they die?

[@JFJD]

Who, the monkey-men? No reason they can’t look cool during their last moments.
(Also, this was made decades before dabbing became A Thing.)

[@Ryfinius]

They're evil.

_Code Name: Viper_ "inspiration".

[@michaellindenmuth9446]

What did that code do?

[@JFJD]

It made the game shorter - notice how it starts on “Story 3”.

[@michaellindenmuth9446]

@@JFJD so… does that mean it is not 100%?

[@JFJD]

Think of it as running through the game’s final loop - there’s nothing to be gained by having the TAS run through the same levels more than once.

[@michaellindenmuth9446]

@@JFJD good point

Was he rescuing ol girl from the Klan
