Superman 64 was an expertly executed terrible video game. Really fun run. The entire awful block is great until it hits a short lull at Blues Brothers.

We thought that after Superman 64 it would be hard to top, but boy, we were so wrong with Arabian Nights.

I watched Superman 64 last night which was great, but unfortunately had to duck out five minutes into Arabian Nights because it was getting real late for me. Really want to catch the rest of that because what I saw looked bonkers. What else have I missed between then and now? Has there been any particularly good runs, or anything notably bad? What's this I hear about "lobotomy chicken"?

Arabian Nights and Enviro-Bear were super good, Dog’s Life was pretty good too. “Lobotomy chicken” is just a silly song the evermore runner sings while waiting for a mandatory wait in the game.

Crossposting because it will probably get buried and die in the regular chat thread: If you think what they managed to make the SNES do with Star Fox 2 is insane, let me introduce you to X, a  Edit: Technically it's more of a tank sim (think Battlezone) rather than a spaceflight sim, but the fact that they managed to do this on a Game Boy is pure insanity. Fun fact: The person who programmed X is the same guy (Dylan Cuthbert) who brought us Stunt Race FX, Star Fox, and Star Fox 2.

Considering how people here generally value RPG speedruns, probably one that uses some Credit Warp early into the game.
