[TAS] GBA Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell by FractalFusion in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2007-08-05
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell is a well known stealth action game where agent Sam Fisher tries to rescue CIA agents from the bad guys.
However, in this run the author ( tasvideos.org/... ) doesn't care about stealth at all and runs through the levels as fast as possible.
FractalFusion ( tasvideos.org/... ) has also created a TAS for the game's GBA sequel ( tasvideos.org/... ).

Find it kinda hilarious that, in this stealth game, so long as you're running there's not much that 90% of the guards can do to you

[@djdexcat]

As someone seeing this game for the first time, it _feels_ like the devs didn't quite know how to do a stealth game on the GBA. "Super zoomed-in platformer" seems like a bit of a strange choice here.

[@YouShisha1393]

All GBA platformers are like this because the console has a tiny screen.

[@djdexcat]

​@@YouShisha1393 I'm more saying that a top-down view would have been more appropriate a stealth game on a small screen (Shoutouts to the GBC Metal Gear game.) This just feels like the game can only function because most enemies spawn facing away from you and take a while to actually do anything to you. And if the sidescrolling aspect was a _must,_ then they could have easily gotten away with smaller sprites and a more 'zoomed-out' environment. But I haven't actually played the game, so shrug.

[@DR---]

@@djdexcat I think Metroid Zero Mission And MegaMan X 1&2 had a pretty good stealth section. Even though those are side scrolling games. But I agree that they should have done it like Metal Gear for GBC.

[@zigaudrey]

Barbie Agent Secret on GBA also have this problem. It's a 2D plate-form despise being spy theme, thus a stealth game. Difference is that you don't lose HP but cover point. Being exposed for too long leads to game over.

[@OpurumD]

They were putting just anything on the GBA tbh

[@hanbyeollee2528]

"Hey!"
"Never mind, he enter the door."

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

"Hey."
"BOND IS HERE."

Used to play the hell out of this on my Nokia N-Gage, didn't know that it was a port of GBA version

[@salvatorevetro1743]

Same. N95 8gb could play ngage stuff.

[@icjet1ks]

Same, played this a ton on my nokia 6630 back in the day xd

[@x1Blz]

Great game, very nostalgic.
Good Run!

[@benjaminknight4152]

So wait, you're telling me those meat hooks can hold a whole side of beef just fine, but as soon as you hang from one it starts shuddering and shaking and coming loose?

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

You actively pull on something to keep your grip on it. A slab of meat isn't doing anything but letting gravity work.

[@zigaudrey]

It's funny how guards keep killing each others.
Now, I know where the alert sound from Henry Stickmin come from.

[@Trimint123]

It's actually a stock alarm sound. Call of Duty used it as well, which is what that game tries to reference.

Man, throwing flammables at the oil rig. What could possibly go wrong?

[@darkshadows6886]

Your gameplay is insane! Everything is done smooth and perfect!

[@BJ-jr8ou]

thank you for ur awesome performance its my childhood❤

[@nathanielchiles8617]

Who needs stealth when you go FAST?

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

Sam: Don't tell me...three alarms and the mission is over?
Lambert: Of course not, this is no video game, Fisher.

[@DoomtuneYT]

16:12 brooooo I get him on the long swings and finish him on the last one. You got this man before the first long swing.
I'm doing speed runs on this game and you've opened my eyes to a lot of things thank you. Can I reference this TAS on the site page?

[@Biaanca5036]

You even get to taste various flavors of taser, firey hotsauces, mmm~MMMm! . Gotta love free samples! . 😇
