What is a TAS? https://www.youtube.com/c/Prog61/about
I'm sorry, I had to mute a song (Eat the Rich) because of copyright issue (from 4:29 to 5:52).
And also I put the ending of the game in another video (Walk This Way).

Goal:
-To show known secrets, to get the 5 wings
-To avoid getting hit if possible
- Destroy as many things as I can
Notes:
-I use this FAQ to learn the game: http://www.aerosmithtemple.com/revolution-x-walkthrough
By looking in the Ram, I learned that:
==Energy:
-The energy bar is at 150 units when full (6 per small rectangle), but you start the game with 187 units.
-'Extra Energy' gives you 50 units of energy
-After shooting the cat, I had 287 energy (2 additional energy from the boarded up windows in Club X)
-At the start of the Chopper chase, I had 385 units of energy (2 additional energy in the first building
-I started (and finished) the chopper boss with 324 energy.
-I lost 37 units in "Amazon Jungle", all with the last boss, ending the level with 287.
-I completed the Bus Chase (Middle East) with 270.
-In 'Pacific Rim' I lost 33 units in the corridor leading to Brad Whitford (24:20)
-With 8 Extra Energy at the end of the 'Pacific Rim' I reached 600.
-I started the last boss with 594 but lost 245 against Helga.
-And lost 46 against Mondor to end the game with 303 units of energy.
==CDs
-The game does not display more than 999 CDs but internally the game keeps the exact count.
-I reached over 2800 CDs before 'Pacific Rim' boss.
-I sent 109 CDs to the boss Chopper, 45 to the bus, 384 to the boss of 'Pacific Rim'
-At the start of the last boss I had 2370 CDs and finished the game with 1814 CDs, so I fired more than 556 CDs on the last boss.
==Shield
-Works exactly like the energy bar in a separate meter, if not at 0 the energy in the shield goes down instead of the energy bar.
-The shield gives 30 energy.
-But it is not cumulative, the maximum value is 30.
-Even if the message 'SHIELD UP' does not appear when you change section you do not lose it, ex: I had a shield outside Club X and at the beginning of the helicopter stage the shield continues to be effective.
==Super Gun
-When you get a Super Gun, you have 200 shots.
-This value is not cumulative, maximum 200.
-A Super Gun shot is almost as effective as a CD. (I don't know if as effective or a little less)
==Lazer Discs
-I could not test to see if it is cumulative or not.
-When someone shoots you, you will only lose some energy when your part of the screen is hit.
-Each player as 1/3 of the screen, you can ignore shots to the other 2/3 of the screen.
-So when playing this game, focus on your side of the screen first.
-There are some exceptions to this rule. Helga, the helicopter and the lifts hit you wherever they are.
-At the end of 'Pacific Rim' I got 8 Extra Energy but I had to use rng manipulation for 2 of them (the 3rd and 4th red things on a bench) (27:15).
-As far as I can see in other videos, the company logo almost always gives you extra energy.
-Now that I see the video, I see I missed a few points here and there and a girl in Club X (should have worked harder on this one).
-I tried to fix them but it's not possible to edit a TAS in the middle, it changes the rng then nothing after the edit point works properly.
-To get the TROG you have to kill the cat (9 shots) then shoot a cd on the tree that you can see over the wall.
-I'm not sure if the secret in the helicopter chase (7:15) is there if you haven't killed the TROG.
-To get the secret in the window outside Club X (1:54), you must have killed the cat and not shot that window earlier.
-In this secret, you have to shoot a CD at the door to go to the restrooms.
-It seems that if you don't shoot the star on the door at the end of Club X, enemies will spawn endlessly (4:47)
-On the bus level, I had to stop shooting because the bus exploded before I could get the 4th wings (21:50).
-For an unknown reason Helga cost me 35 units each time I got hit by her (7 times). I did not see that amount of damage in other videos on YouTube.
-You have to shoot her when she cartwheel in front of the throne.
-At least Mondor (the last boss) is easy to do, but very long to TAS.
-His machine guns inflict damage only in the player part of the screen and it is easy to make him lose the gun (3-4 CDs on the arm).
-It took me about 50 hours of work to do this video. Hope you like it.
