[TAS] NES Amagon by Tanooki Teabag in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2011-11-22
Amagon the Marine has crash-landed on a mysterious island in the South Pacific and must get to the rescue boat. In his way lie wild animals, dinosaurs, and aliens, all of which are likely to be endangered or extinct after their encounter with this gun-wielding man who can double his muscle mass to punch them into oblivion.
This is an improvement of nearly 26 seconds over the previous run by Tailz ( tasvideos.org/... ) due to increased use of the Megagon form, lag reduction, improved boss fights, and a time-saving death in level 5-1.

This game is called "Suddenly, Machoman!" in Japanese. I think they should have kept that title for the English version.

Hey, he’s not just _a_ Marine, he’s “the most decorated Marine”, according to the promo material.

[@SonofTiamat]

His fellow Marines called him Animal Mother

@@SonofTiamat Don’t get between a shirtless muscle-man and his ship.

[@avalonjustin]

Of course he is. You seen any other US Marines fighting dinosaurs, skeletons, giant hippopotamuses or aliens?

ahh, i remember this game and the flatwoods monster 18:03 aka the zelda majora's mask aliens, aka the al-lyuns that landed in Flatwoods town in Braxton County, West Virgina in 1952

[@justgamesandtoys]

music was fire @13:00

[@BaronYoungOfficial]

am i seeing things, or is it actual game design? when the player character walks off the edge of platforms, the camera pans forward several frames quicker

[@jkadoodle]

I grew up with this game lol

[@avalonjustin]

Still have my copy!

[@theghost8792]

The Flatwoods Monster as the final boss is just really random.

[@justindorado7380]

9:35 what is he doing???

[@chazzyroberts9475]

He dancing

[@123TauruZ321]

Tas'ers usually mucks around like that for fun. And it is funny too, especially with a terribly bad game like this. It's like they are parodying the game.

[@wsmith4]

I remember back in 95 I competed this in less than 8 minutes. Of course back then we didn't have ways to capture it.

Merry Christmas

[@123TauruZ321]

Friggin horrendous game.

[@P3RDT0]

All I want for Christmas is Amagon Reimagined but the protagonist is female.

[@scaleitback1055]

How do you know how the original protagonist identifies?

Wtf!!

[@HunterPBrown]

I sucked at this game lol

[@123TauruZ321]

No wonder, it's a super bad game.

[@AA-ui6sy]

This game was shit lol

[@gsus3918]

Wow, this is awful. GJ with the TAS and all but damn this game is just...MEH. The sound design of the gun, is painful. The music/theme doesn't match anything that is going on. Caveman transformation?? He's a marine? Normal player model has bent legs 100% of the time. Player holds the gun like a guitar. Goofy ass smile. Also there aren't that many strats for this game other than "don't slow down" and "corner boost" which makes it a bit boring.
