This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see http://tasvideos.org/2759M.html. TAS originally published on 2015-01-13.

C64anabalt (http://www.rgcd.co.uk/2011/12/c64anabalt-c64-2011.html) is an official conversion of Canabalt (http://adamatomic.com/canabalt/) for the Commodore 64 (in cartridge form). Canabalt is the game that defined the endless runner genre. The game controls consist of a single jump button to alter the height of the player's suit-clad character, who runs across a war-torn city at an ever increasing pace.

At the incredible speeds reached in this TAS, the building generator can bug out and fail to create sections of buildings. Author dwangoAC (http://tasvideos.org/DwangoAC.html) had to carefully avoid these bugs in order to successfully run the maximum distance.

There are two different versions of this port. This movie uses the Encore build, which includes a faithful port of the original soundtrack to the C64's SID sound chip.
