A/V quality is horrible. Is this the LQ version? Sound is a tiny bit faster than video. You can't tell in the beginning, but near the end you hear things happen about 5 seconds before they happen.
First off, this is nothing like TAS. He plays quite cautiously. This is because beating this game without deaths is practically unheard of. It's so hard to stay alive, the game gives you infinite continues. He also messes up a key card only once. This is also unheard of, as usually when you get to a door, you have to scroll through each key one at a time until the door opens. That much memorizing is quite a feat. Route also looks solid. There are only a few ugly parts, like where farming fails or where an alarm is triggered and he enters an elevator room to stop it, and does that a few times in a row until he isn't spotted. Maybe a minute lost to those.
This is a definite Accept from me. Sure, it's beatable, but not without LOTS of luck. Finally, SDA gets a run of the BEST Metal Gear game!

Metal Gear 2: Snake's Revenge
Ah, yes, the famous sort-of sequel.
There's a lot of what could be termed minor glitching to acquire items, but I don't think that warrants a separate category (basically, the glitch exiting a room to let the items in there be restocked and getting the duplicates). Most of the gameplay is good, perhaps a little bit conservative in certain sections, but overall a fairly good run. There is a bit of a delay on two occasions where he repeatedly fights the same enemy for a random item drop, but it only wastes a minute or so.
Again, the audio and video aren't synched for speed. No cheating spotted.
It's not perfect, but as it's the first run of the game, I think it's just worth an accept.
