[TAS] NES Astyanax by Marx & Alyosha in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/4627M
TAS originally published on 2022-04-13
Astyanax (1990) is the story of a studly 16-year-old boy named Astyanax who is summoned to the world of Remlia in order to save the enchantress Princess Rosebud from the evil wizard Blackhorn, who wants to rule the world.
It is a somewhat clumsy game. For one, Astyanax is twice as big as he appears, and so he is easily hit unless one plays carefully. The controls are also very bad. The sum of these factors is that it's a difficult game to play, but that's part of what makes this movie interesting-especially for those who have played this game.
This is an improvement of 00:08.14 seconds from the previous movie (tasvideos.org/2102M) mostly from improved boss fights near the beginning of the game.

Astyanax is 16 years old in 1990, now he is 48 years old.
EDIT: Astyanax is 16 years old in 1989, now he is 49 years old.

I trust this will be updated annually.
Don't fail us.

one of my favs gets a new tas record? lets go!!!

Astyanax fought with a terrible aggression. He struck down his enemies with tremendous haste. He knew in his heart that if he failed, that if he could not vanquish his enemies in time...
...he might be late for 7th period spanish.

Oh the memories good feeling fun!😉👍

Power, fame, magic, cool armor, golden weapons, and a pretty lady who's life you saved... Yeah, I would want to back home if I was a 16 year old who was living out a power fantasy in another world, who I may add is now the hero...
The story ruined my emersion.

This game may not be a classic, but it has some cool music and monsters

[@wagnerramosmidichannelabso514]

It should've saved 0.90 seconds, so it's REALLY close to Sub 15.

[@bahamut256]

I still remember a friends nickname for this game, coined many years after its release. Asslevania.

One level is called Rent. I hope he doesn’t have to pay rent there

[@fatkart7641]

You know the devs didn't have the skills or didn't care to balance their game so they give you a huge health bar instead!

[@TibyGolanu]

Now imagine a No Hit run !

[@JFJD]

It would just be slower; a lot more maneuvering to avoid damage, and honestly less impressive than just watching the guy just power through everything.

[@YinhuWang]

So at the end, astyanax never went back to his world, instand they put him in a virtual reality created for him.

[@prosewolf]

Those are some cold dead fish eyes from purple deadpan girl. She doesn't care in the least that it's over.
Also, what's with his parents naming him Astyanax instead of Ueji or something easy.
Also, why was he palming an eggplant on the bridge?
So many unanswered questions.

For saving my world, I am sending you your fantasy fairy girlfriend to be your real world girlfriend. GLHF!

[@webanut]

А какой смысл был в том, чтобы тратить здоровье, касаясь врагов? Выглядит как неаккуратное прохождение.
