/vr/ - Retro Games

Alright, because the last thread hit image limit, I took caps while I played until a new thread was made. I'll provide little commentaries and what not for this picture. I started this challenge around 9PM.

1) I jumped in this game not knowing what the hell to expect. An inventory screen popped up briefly and I wasn't able to read it in time. I tried to enter the building, thinking it was a city but...

2) It turned out to be a labyrinth. The paths are blacked out until you travel to them. This gets a bit annoying and yet helpful later on in its own way, which I will explain. I tried to figure out how to attack, which happens to be a bow and arrow. The arrows in this game have an... interesting property where they bounce off of walls. I end up taking off 2 of my 4 health points not realizing what was going on.

3) I decide to take a look at my inventory. I am stocked with 3 Carls, no fairies, and 55 arrows. A pretty good start. Collecting 4 fairies grants an extra Carl, which are a vital asset.

4) I stumble through the game and lose a Carl by running into a skeleton. Bad start! However, I find that skeleton mofo again and kill it and get a key. After collecting more arrows, I find a door and escape the labyrinth.

5) After feeling my way through another labyrinth, I discover there are a few different kinds: caves, towers, forests, and a mountain. The caves are laid out in the same way, as are the towers and forests. I pick up a tomahawk later on and have no clue what to do with it, so it sits in my inventory for later use. Oh yeah, in this picture I find an invincibility power up.

6) After defeating many caverns, I go to a tower and get some fairies in an attempt to get more Carls.

7) And then I take on the mountain. It just screams boss lair.

8) I come across a mysterious rectangle and step on it, hoping it's not a trap. it turns out to be a hot spring that recharges life! to be continued...
