Tool-assisted speedrun (TAS)
- aims for fastest completion
- uses a password to start on the harder difficulty

NES Rolling Thunder played by Nesrocks. It's a TAS meaning it was played on an emulator using tools, such as savestates to undo mistakes and slowdown to allow precise input, to overcome human limitations. The objective of a TAS is to show the game pushed to it's limits, without the constraints of human skills and reflexes.

Some longlegged dude has had his future wife kidnapped by Ku Klux Klan wannabe space aliens. Between the levels they taunt him by showing pictures of her in risqué positions on wide-screen TV, while dancing in front of it. (I wish I were making this up, but NES games can be pretty weird sometimes.)

This movie uses a password to get the hardest difficulty, thus not having to finish the game twice.
