/vr/ - Retro Games

Rules:

1) Savestates are allowed ONLY for the purpose of taking screenshots and ONLY if your emulator/game in question does not have a pause function.

2) Rerolls are allowed under the following conditions:

The game you get requires some sort of hardware functionality that cannot be accurately emulated to complete (eg, Boktai)
The game would otherwise require cheats, hacks, or alteration of the software to complete due to a bug (eg, Cheetahmen II)
3) Playstation 1 games can be given up to 2 weeks to complete if the game is more than 2 discs.

4) If you lose / give up to a game you have to go back one square instead (ie if you gave up a Genesis game, you go back to GB/GBA and continue frome there)

5) For Rule 4, if the game you fail is on the same path as another console, you have the choice to roll for that console instead of dropping down a level.

For games that have a high score or no end, the rule is:

If no high score has been established, set a goal and beat it
if you're playing something another anon already has a high score on, beat their high score
If you are playing extended rpgs/pokemon/whatever you get a week [Depending on the game needs to be asked in thread]

It's published by Sunsoft, so it is probably good.

Uh, I don't know if I have a bad rom or something but it's been at this screen for a few minutes now and while it makes some sounds when I press buttons, nothing happens. The music is alright, though.

What's the ruling if you get a sports game?

>>1055595
I could never figure out wtf I was supposed to be doing in that game.

>>1055631

make it to the championship, and win

>>1055627
I have never seen that screen in all my times trying to play it, looks like it's supposed to be an ending screen

YA'LL GETTIN SLOPPY

DONT COPY DAT FLOPPY

If it's alright, I'm just gonna choose a different game. This doesn't seem to be going anywhere and I don't think my actions are having any effect on the game. The fish just keeps walking in place and while sounds play when I press A, nothing happens. This game was never released so maybe this is supposed to happen.
>>1055646
Yeah, when I hit start it went to a few similar looking screens for maybe 10 seconds each at most but then stays at the third for an indefinite period of time, these are the two previous screens.

>>1055648

I have no Idea what to do here

I cant select the cards, up and down does nothing...

Oh fuck, apparently the button mappings for select and start were swapped and pressing select takes you to what seems to be the credits. On with the game!

Fuck, it froze. Anyway, this game is kinda weird, I expected another "match three in a row and clear" kind of game but to clear the little objects you have to surround a few of the same color with two of the same color. So you could clear a horizontal set of four that went red-green-green-red. I'm pretty bad at these types of games though and got a game over before this. I like the music.

Still stuck.
Can't find a scan of a manual to check out.

Can someone watch a playthrough and tell me if it might be a bad dump or copy protection?

Still on Gyruss. There's a stage in the second level that always gets me killed, but I'm going at a good pace now.
I'm really loving this game, but now I wish I had one of them arcade sticks.

>>1055743

According to a FAQ, at this point you're supposed to talk to Eddie twice to get a ticket, then you should be able to enter the train (through the door I guess?).

>>1056169
Thanks, Anon-AD-kun.

I've actually talked to him multiple times before but you have to do it twice in a row without exiting the room, and if you don't have a ticket then the actual streetcar you're supposed to use (pic related) won't even spawn.
What I don't get is, why didn't they make it one conversation? Also, he tells you to hurry and go the first time so the first thing that comes to mind is to go there, not talk to him again.

Finally, a replacement for my government approved non-lethal safety gun.

>>1056730
is that guy stomping on your head?

>>1056730
A scratched screen filter? Seriously? I hope you only switch that shit on for screenshots.

Do not reply to the post above

>>1056730
So I found the nigga and popped a cap in his ass, as expected.

ive always wanted an excuse to play this

10/10 quality writing

>>1056738
Apparently the furfag is always drawn on the bottom. Or is a bottom. I'd rather not know.
I don't want to know what the T stands for in the T. CLUB I'm currently in either - but the bulge in that woman's dress seems to confirm my worries.

>>1056768
>furfag
>>>/v/

these fuckers are horrifying

>>1056774
>telling others to go to a different board because you don't like their choice of words or opinion
>>>/v/

So I'm supposed to unchain that talking car or something, with a plot-approved tool no less.
At least I got some running shoes to navigate the ever growing map a bit faster. It's still slow as shit though and I can't use my weapons at the same time.

>>1056774
Sorry. I'll post a trigger warning next time.

>>1056795
>Sorry. I'll post a trigger warning next time.

Sorry, we don't talk about that shit in /vr/.

Here's Johnny!

On another note, I have half a heart left and Eddie's fridge is empty this time.
This is gonna be fun.

These merriments of the old are pretty fucking hard, holy shit.
I blame half of my failures on the fact that I don't have an arcade stick.

>>1056798
>being too autistic to recognize sarcasm

What the fuck happened to this place?

Fuck.
The game throws you straight into a car chase with whatever weapon you were holding at the time, with no way to change it.

Needless to say, it's not possible to punch him with all those bombs he's throwing.

>>1056825
They didn't let me use the gun but I got lucky anyway.

I finished Vindicators. It was a fun game at first but got lazy quickly, was repeating level layouts with different enemy placements constantly and of the four bosses three were static turrets.

This guy was a wall of turrets.

In Scene 5, our wabbit encounters a space time anomaly as two warehouse doors lead to the same map, with items taken in one disappearing in the other as well.

>>1056813
he means that this is no place for shitty /v/ humour like making fun of social justice fags or furfags
and he's right, that shit turned into an overused meme

Scratch that, make it five doors.

The final boss was a giant four eyed brain, that acted like four static turrets.

Ending.

Oh fuck it's Donkey Kong.

The forest was a dead end with a locked mansion at the end.

So I went back and checked the anomalous warehouses, turns out one of them was different, containing a fucker with a machine gun.

I survived the boss fight with half a heart. Hope they won't make me get out of here like that.

Also, according to the messages, this should be the final stage. I damn right hope it is. (not that this game is as bad as I expected it to be, it's a Capcom game after all, it's just fucking boring and the stealth parts are very glitchy)

>>1056849
Except social justice fags and furfags deserve every ounce of hatred they receive.

So I got through the mansion, and found Doom after being kicked to the beginning a few times.

And he has a tank that shoots Dip and destroys floor tiles.
If I don't cap his arse fast enough, I won't be able to move around.

Wasn't he supposed to melt in this shit himself?

>>1056816
I digged up an old shitty USB controller I had and it's actually much better, the d-pad helps a lot, and I can spam the shoot button as much as I like with the right hand.

Something doesn't feel right about this sentence at all.
Still, I think that the devs did the best they could with such a shitty license. If the sneaking actually worked, it would've been a decent game.

It's time for SEEEEEEGAAAAAAAAAoh fuck it's an RPG.

Just kidding, I think this will be good. Never played PS actually.

>>1056907
Aaah yes, this is my best run yet, I haven't died once.

aw shit we metroid now

>>1056919
Man, I forgot there were that many planets in the solar system.

>>1056935
I just lost to some boss that shoots you space pancakes all around.
I don't know if I feel like retrying today, but now with this controller I'm pretty sure I can make it.

Jesus christ what is this shit

I came here looking for a POTION, and they give me a space dildo-heala-tron.

Is the Konami code considered cheating/assistance or something?

>>1056939
man I love this game so much

I got Cacoma Knight in Bizyland for my second game. A cartoon styled QIX game.

Game has a rather silly beginners trap where the characters play differently, the speedster girl is straight up better than the other two.

>>1056965
oh u

>>1057028
>beginner's trap

Maybe you are just using it as a general term, but I hate the mentality that spawned that phrase. As if a commercial video game of any time period would actually put in "traps" to keep "non-hardcore" players away.

2 hours of play and the game is finished on medium. I feel like I have missed something but a quick Google says the game is just easy.

Will try and finish it on hard but unless the game suddenly has a lot of new enemy types this was a massive disappointment.

Ending here so I don't have to post a huge amount of screens.

http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/snes/b/caco.htm

>>1055709
are you sure you didn't accidentally swap them yourself when setting up the controller mapping? I've done that more than once myself

>>1057045
wow, that may be one of the worst endings in game history

also, there was some site posted in the last one of these that compiled images for you without having to use photoshop, maybe some one will repost it

>>1057041
I wasn't putting much thought into it, and I did have fun testing their differences. My initial thought was two player balance would be all messed up unless you picked the same characters. Would be annoying if that's the case in the arcade and it took several credits to find out.

>>1057065
found it

http://bighugelabs.com/mosaic.php

>>1057065
Game has a good opening although it's silly.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nm7WQAdFocM

>>1057087
Awesome. Is annoying messing around in Photoshop for something so simple, would rather be playing...

>>1057095
there was a tomb raider game boy color game?
please report back with how horrible it is.

>>1057135
actually, I take back my own words, looked up game play footage and it actually looks like a decent prince of perasia type game

>>1057157
also, starting in on this, at least the title sounds neat

>>1057161
here goes

>>1057171
it's an RPG of some sort, guess I have 7 days to beat it

>>1055505
is there any more difficult variation to the rules? it just doesn't feel like a gauntlet when you can choose one console over another or can give up on a game with such little consequence.

>>1057186
people with your mindset are who ruined this for everyone else last time when these these threads disappeared for a month or two. Don't do it again.

Or, in less polite terms, fuck off

>>1057172

Looks neat. More screens!

>>1057186

>it just doesn't feel like a gauntlet when you can choose one console over another or can give up on a game with such little consequence.

You don't just choose. You go in order. You can't do an SNES game until you've finished the NES game you roll. And if you fail to complete a game then you have to go back to the previous system. It's the same as it's always been. Of course there's nothing really stopping anyone from cheating besides the honor system.

Are those rules not satisfactory?

>>1057135
It's a clear copy of prince of Persia. Lots of climbing and precision jumping, first mission is to find a weapon too. The animation is really fluid as you would expect but it looks bad in motion, jumps and runs slow but rolls like sonic. Is filled with ladders that take ages to climb up making exploration really slow.

>>1057172
ugh, I don't even know wtf is going on in the battles, there are attack animations but then no one gets damaged over and over.. and this battle is taking so god damn long because there is barely any damage happening, also you are forced to battle every time you movie, it's not like most games where it's an random encounter, you point to a square, click on it, and then battle. This might be some influential game in japanese SRPGs, but I just don't have the patience for this. I'm going to re-roll.

>>1057192
I think he's just one of those assholes that always complain about it not being "hardcore" enough. He was probably actually complaining about the categories where you can choose between two systems.

>>1057191
I was asking if there was a variation of the rules to make the gauntlet more difficult for me, not an abolition of the current 'law'. Its people like you who are ruining this board, because you don't know how to read a post; so please, fuck off.

>>1057192
>Playstation 1 OR Nintendo 64
>GB/GBC OR Sega Game Gear
It also used to be that if you failed, you were to go back to the NES. I am not saying to stop playing the way you want to or anything, I was just asking if there was a sort of difficulty system for the rules.

>>1057219
you are saging the thread, so it's easy to take you post as meaning that you are angry because the rules aren't "hardcore" enough for you
also
>ruining the entire board by wanting to keep a certain mentality out of these threads because it stopped people from wanting to do them before.

yeah... that really makes sense.

>>1057219
I don't see how choosing between TWO different systems makes it "less difficult", once you pick a system you are stuck with it and have to play what ever game you roll for it like any other.

Combat however is total garbage. Your and the enemies guns are shot without any indication of damage animation wise, just a flash on the enemy until they fall over dramatically like it was a pretend fight with finger guns. Difficulty wise you simply auto target and mash the button.

If the game has interesting mazes later it could get good but so far its just been linearish get key or throw level to open door with simple slow platforming.

Stupid Virtualboy Advance overwrites previous screenshots when restarted so I have lost most of the combat images. Bah!

>>1057207
got some weird unlicensed game this time... guess I'll see what on earth this is

>>1057236
so it's a tetris clone... with angled pieces...

So I just found out the game requires some leaps of faith to progress. Its no problem though because I just fell about four screen length and survived with minimal damage! After testing it seems fall damage is fixed above a certain height so there is no fear in the platforming.

With boring exploration, rubbish combat and vary basic platforming I would say the game is bad. If they had gone all the way and copied Prince of Persia's pressure pads, timed gates and crumbling floors this could have been a good conversion.

>>1057226
I was, and am saging, because I am aware that it is off topic. It isn't a sign of being angry in any sense. I don't understand your greentext, because I never wanted to force anybody to use any different rule set. In fact, I made my initial post to seek variety so that people who wanted to play by a different rule set could, instead of using the only one we currently have.

>>1057230
I suppose what I meant to say was a more strict rule set, but it could also make things easier as well. You would have the option of skipping 4 consoles in your gauntlet run. Each console has its different titles and variations, and some may be more difficult than others. For example, Doom on N64 is different than Doom on PSX, Sonic is subjectively more difficult than Mario, etc. It doesn't inherently make things more difficult, but it does heighten the reliance on chance, and forces you to try games on consoles you weren't aware of.

>>1057281
>I would say the game is bad
I would say that you are wrong

>>1057281
It was awful. I was running and happened to jump, and I guess a door was supposed to close as you approached it, but I jumped through it before it closed and got trapped and had to reset...

>>1057319
I just played another levelsand it seems I was.

Level 2 was a fast level jumping across rooftops filled with enemies and multiple paths, game even got a soundtrack for the level. Had lots of pickups but not enough time to grab everything so had to choose between risking slowing down or getting more health packs.

>>1057354
Had a boss fight too, guy hanging from a helicopter throwing grenades down at you while you dodge and fire back.

Why the fuck did the game change style so dramatically? Hoping for a mix of both styles later but I'm much more motivated to play now.

Cutscene.

>>1057360
a lot of games in that era started with a "learning the basics of the game" level so you could get a handle on how it worked...

>>1057363
Agreed but they don't usually shift a lot smoother, first section was very long with nothing happening. More likely I'm just a bad judge of games though.

Level 3 seems the same style as level 1 but the platforming has been kicked up a notch.

rolled Gyruss and breezed thru Neptune. Always loved this game, but never did very well at it.

>>1057393
>Gyruss
Dat song...I find myself whistling it at least once per week.

Just getting started. Interesting first roll.

Got Antartica Adventure
Seems quite fun so far

>>1057375
I own Curse of the Sword and it's pretty decent seeing as the GBC has a lot of crap.
Puzzles, plaftorming, shooting and some fast paced action thrown in. The battery save is a God-send as fuck writing down passwords when you're playing a gameboy.
It's a sequel and the 1st game is supposed to be even better than Curse of the Sword.

>>1057415
Pluto's boss whipped my ass real quick first time around, but second time around I blew through it.

Can a penguin handle such an intense curve?

JUST IN TIME
This is getting pretty monotonous already

Ok so i gave up on wolverine due to the shit it wants me to go through. Now we play...Samurai Pizza Cats? Wut

>>1057515

>>1057539
I have to WORK? What is this shit

>>1057542
Oh god not Howard the Duck

>>1057546
hmm, each character has a set of abilities (it told me at the beginning) and i already forgot who does what, so who shall i pick

>>1057558
im picking this ket

>>1057565
well here is the game, pausing it will allow you to switch

>>1057571
I paused to caputre a cutscene and i got this

>>1057589

>>1057592

>>1057595
HAHAHA OH WOW

>>1057598
killed him

>>1057609
Well i get to choose where i go like megaman

>>1057612
level 2

>>1057619
lolwut

>>1057623
2nd level beat

>>1057670
Were on a skyscraper

>>1057673
What the actual fuck

>>1057612

I was gonna say it looks a lot like Mega Man. Looks great.

>>1057676
At the 3rd level, havent gotten a game over screen yet

>>1057685
PORKY! Why are your minions here

>>1057682
Its really good, has plenty of cutscenes too.

>>1057689
Whelp

>>1057682
It's pretty much Ninja Gaiden Lite, by Tecmo even. Also does a good job of recreating the tone and humor of the show it's base don.

>>1057692
Im going to have to leave in a bit so im ending today.

The last dragon decided to just commit suicide

Thats cool

I guess

>>1057839

just cleared the map in one move

Get rekt, faggots

>>1057853

we High score now

Okay, so I'm bored and want something to pass the time. I might as well go through another gauntlet!

... Fuck me.

>>1057952

and now one of the red guys decides to commit suicide

Robbed me of 1000 pts, you little faggot

>>1057983

alright, I'm pretty sure Dig Dug is just a High Score game, And I beat 50k Pts, so I'll count it as a pass

>>1057853

Arino played the NES version of this game and he found it very easy.

>>1058020

hot diggity damn, this is gonna be fun

>>1057956
You know, all things aside right now... it's not too bad. Sure, the hitbox is huge, and I'd kill for some rapid fire here, but if I can get five F powerups and an option, most of my worries go away.

Granted, it seems that you can pick up more than one option in horizontal mode but can only use one... only to have that other option appear in vertical mode. I don't even.

it begins

>>1058028

OH GOD, WHY

THIS ISNT FUN

THIS ISNT FUN AT ALL

>>1058063
Went with hard because this can't be hard right?
>>1058069
That game is....okay

Outside of PC/DOS was there many good star wars games?

>>1058082
what is this?

So some other things I've found:

- Select uses a bomb that kills all enemies on-screen. That's very nice.

- B can switch the direction of your option's shot. It can shoot sideways on vertical, and it can shoot below and behind you on horizontal. Not really necessary at the moment, but nice.

Overall though, this is a lot like Gradius. Less refined and with a bigger hitbox, sure, but the same principle applies: die and you're pretty much fucked.

The bosses are also piss-easy. The first section boss was just a slightly tougher enemy, and this new turtle boss died as I just sat in one place and shot. No danger whatsoever.

>>1058094
Is all you do hit shit and collect ball things?

>>1058082

it's the very definition of terrible enemy respawn rates


What the hell am I supposed to do here? I Jump up to the two higher levels, but I cant go anwhere

>>1058112
I played it a while back, I don't remember that part being that hard.

>>1058097
Boss?

>>1058116
Died...
Round 2 mother fucker.
And Victory!

>>1058121
I ended up dying in the next room, fighting the boss over, dying again and having to continue.

Now I'm fighting this guy and inexplicably have this perfume item. It just started me here for some reason.

I was meant to play valis about a week ago. However because of life I couldn't start it. Guess I have to go back to GB/GBC right?

>>1058379
I suppose the 3 days thing is from the moment you first start the game to the end.

>>1058767
Ah ok. Just making sure. Alright going to start as soon as I finish my food and coffee.

Gyruss guy here, the three days are almost over and I've only managed to get to stage 35 or something; I'm gonna give up because I have no time to restart it.

>>1058046
I can second that, it's actually way easier than gradius or r-type.

Especially because there isn't alot of random stuff and there is like the perfect route for every corner even for bosses, who don't move much anyway, if at all.

s3krit here. Not played gauntlet for a while. Rolled this while I Was on the train home. It's called Arch Rivals. Some sort of 2v2 basketball game.

>>1059561
I think I know who to pick

>>1059563
pretty much just wail on each other until you win the ball. Seems the probability of a shot going in depends on the proximity of the opponents to you.

>>1059573
BEEG AMERICAN TEETEES

This game is seriously fun. Didn't expect to enjoy a sports game. But it's frantic and simple.

Music/sound is weaksauce though.

>>1059561
>Not picking Arnold so you can pretend that Arnold for the Magic School Bus grew up to be a mad baller.

>>1059583
maybe if/when I game-over.

>>1059576
aww yeah nuthin but net

>>1059610
OUT OF FUCKING NOWHERE... what a comeback. Goddamn, I just can't get past them anymore

>>1059576
>those two guys in the background

>>1059617
Lost the game. Ragequit so I didn't get a screeny. Finished 71-74. Last minute was intense.

>>1059626
Arch Rivals can be pretty intense if you start leading by a ton. The AI starts playing catchup hard. best plan is to go on the defensive when they start going all out, trying to score is going to be tough and you'll just be giving them the ball so they score more.
Just punch them to get them to drop it and play keep a way until you win, only make shots if you're certain you can make them.

Defeated by Flying Hero - Bugyuru no Daibouken. Back to NES rolled Monster Party. Will i ever beat a snes game?

>>1059617
Welp, finished with that one.

>>1059775
Please, game. Sound more Japanese

Aw fuck me

Here we go....

WHOA faggots we banished you to /vg/ for a reason.

>>1061042
Back to /v/ with you. These are allowed on /vr/ we got clearance from the mods when this place first opened up.

No idea what this is.

>>1062085
Fuck, it keeps crashing on both my emulators. I will see what I can do.

>>1062098
Had to reroll cause it would not work. Got Darkman.

Fancy looking title screen. I rented this one as a kid but never got far.

>>1062157
Ok, apparently I have to keep my balance on tight ropes and punch people quickly. It is not like I remember at all.

>>1062171
we're you thinking of nightshade?

>>1062195
I think I was.

This game is starting to turn shit because I keep forgetting how to balance right on the tightropes.

Monster Party is done. Back to snes rolled world heroes 2 its a fighting game so i think maybe this time ill finally move up.

>>1057769
Sorry about not me updating, i have tons of work to do, but i may get a chance to do day 2 tomorrow

>>1062267
It is getting to the tedious point where I have to do a shit ton of memorization on some stages.

I think I am getting close to the end.

>>1062418
Well that was anticlimatic.

Was an ok game. Kinda crap for such a late release on the NES.

Taking a break to get some booze and will return in a bit.

Well that very fast only had to continue once. had good character selection and some of the stages looked great. I would love to play this on an actual arcade machine. I remember years ago that I might have played the first one in a laundry-mat. Now to decide gb or game gear.

>>1059665
Good game. The sound of the bat hitting the lightning bolts is etched into my brain.

>>1062723
I'll always remember this boss. Monster Party was the first game I've played in the gauntlet that has really impressed me.

Time for fun!

>>1063020
This game is a lot of fun. But the first boss kicked my ass.

So are you allowed to use the official game manual or do you need to figure it all out by yourself?

>>1062739
Is that an onion ring?

Decided to start over. Funny enough I just saw this on Game Center CX. Looks fun

>>1064058
many games have importaint info thats only in the manual you can find most online

>>1064058
Sometimes the manual tells you what some icons are and what abilities does what. So I say yes. If you can't find one I say look up a guide but only look at the first part where it tells you what any manual would say.

>>1064095
For some reason Nestopia doesn't like Kid Dracula. Keeps giving me mapping error. Might just try a different Emulator.

And puNES seem to work.

>>1064162
I know that's isn't a swastika but man it's funny whenever I see something like that in Japanese games. And it's been a LONG time since I've played a NES platformer so I'm not all that great at them. Hopefully I'll get better later on.

>>1064216
As soon as I killed the chicken boss I died. Didn't get the screenshot on time sadly.

>>1064238
And I keep getting gambling. I keep betting on 5 all the way just to see. Got it once which was nice but lost every other time.

>>1064250
What mostly killed me was the ice over water. Guess my reflexes are slower then when I was little.

Someone didn't translate some the quiz show questions right so I had to guess on one of them. Lucky I got it.

>>1064303
And after many MANY deaths as I go into space I have to save it for later. Wish me luck when I get back into it.

>>1062393
I am back and hopefully i can blaze through the last few levels

>>1064738

LETS DO THIS

>>1065461
Hey, the game was fine until level 10, the difficulty went to crazy heights. No checkpoints, Overpowered enemies, stiff controls. Oh and when you get hit, your stunned and you have about 1 second of invincibility and it slides you back.

>>1065526
Fuck just getting to him

>>1065541
Im out

>>1065609

>>1065569

Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 3 Night of the Quinkan
never heard of this game, looks good to me, well i must play the gba version, let's do this

Your game is "The Legend of the Mystical Ninja"! Now go play it

Another Game Center CX game. Weird
Will play when I get home

>>1066058
Everything about this post makes me sick.

>>1055505
Piccolo?

Rolled Mappy for game gear. Beat the high score. I read that it does have 256 screens like pac-man but I found the port to be sub-par so i only put in a few hours. Then I rolled Battletoads and that makes everything okie dokie.

>>1067287
have fun with that

>>1057539
>>1065454
Samurai Pizza Cats has a game!? Holy shit.

Beat the first boss at last and am moving on. Fuck this game is hard but fun.

>>1068081
Go back to /mlp/ horsefucker.

>>1068002
It actually had a decent amount of merchandise in Japan.

>>1068221
>>>/v/

Bested by battletoads too much to handle. dropped down to game gear rolled George Foreman's KO Boxing.

Never completed this before so this should be good. Hope I get something I've never played before for the future consolses though.
Apparently I downloaded a Spanish version by mistake. Good job this game has fuck all text in it.

Fuck this staircase all I want to do is throw an axe at that damn bat not walk up and down the stairs.

Modern gamers will never know the horror of enemies that fly towards you in a sine wave.

>>1070209

You should use the time stopper, instead. You get it in the basement area of the level. It will make the bat even easier to kill. It also makes level 2 much easier, because you can freeze the spike traps and the boss Medusa head.

>>1070217
I got one in that room just after taking that screenshot though for some reason it didn't occur to me to actually use it. Didn't realise it worked on the traps that does make that bit much easier.
I'm gonna try and get Holy Water before the boss. Hopefully will be able to stunlock it and make it stupidly easy.

>>1070226

Yeah, holy water is also a great way to make Medusa a pushover. Some of the bosses in the game are almost impossible to beat without the holy water, such as Frankenstein's Monster, Death and Dracula.

Castlevania is an insanely cruel and difficult game. Things really get hard around level 3. If you beat it, without using save states, then congrats.

>>1070229
Yep triple Holy Water made Medusa piss easy. Took a bit of damage though as I was too busy throwing water at her to jump over the first snake. I'm definitely not gonna use save states. God knows how many game overs I'll get along the way though.
One thing I forgot about this game was how God Tier it's music is. The music has always been one of my favourite parts of the Castlevania series and its goodto see that this was no different in the first one.
Also fuck Fleamen. So much.

First death happens in level 3. Fucking Medusa Heads.

Hahaha God Damn I'm dumb thought I could stand on these skulls for some reason so I jumped straight into the water.

Level 4 has gotten off to a great start.

Controls on the foreman game are completely fucked. No idea how to duck he seems to do it sometimes randomly. Only left and right jabs work uppercutting left and right does not work. Or maybe its just me but i said fuck it and rolled a gb/gbc game and got college slam. Today is just shit for me in the gauntlet.

>>1070264

Not dumb. I did the same thing. Frankenstein's Monster is next. If you don't have triple, at least double holy water... good luck is all I can say.

>>1070297

College Slam? That sucks.

>>1070302
Twice now I have come close to reaching Frankenstein's Monster with the holy water. The first time the very last Fleaman I killed in the room before dropped the axe on me when I killed him, and the second time the White Dragon just before killed me. Gonna try and knife the shit out of him if I fail to get it there again.

>>1070316

The first white dragon that guards the door can be ran underneath if you are quick.
The second white dragon has a pork chop/pot roast in the wall, so it's good to kill that dragon. If you have plenty of life, I say just skip the third dragon and take a single hit. With enough holy water you can stop Frankenstein and Igor from moving, so life doesn't matter too much in the boss fight. Just make sure you kill them off right away! Once Igor stops hopping around it's all over.

Fuck sake just 3 more bars and I would have killed this fucker.

>>1070316

To make your gauntlet truly random, you should first go here: http://www.random.org/
Then set the numbers between 1 and 14. That way, even your console can be random!

>>1070328

Damn. That's harsh.

>>1070332
Same thing literally just happened again. I'm on a mission now to end that bastards life one way or another.
>>1070330
Thats a good idea actually I'll use that from now on once I'm done with Castlevania.

There was about 1 second left on the clock when i made a 3 pointer. The computer gets the ball throws underhanded with 0:00 and makes this shot.

>>1070347

LMAO

>>1070340

Another suggestion. Why not go to strawpoll.me and create a poll of games. Then post the link here on 4chan and let the anons choose your fate?

Jesus fucking Christ that has got to be the longest I have ever spent completing one level. Actually did beat him about 10 minutes ago but I got hit by Igor's fireball and died just as I landed the last hit on him so I had to do the entire fucking thing over.
>>1070363
I may do. I kinda like the idea of the website giving me a random one though. I'll have a think about it I guess.

Man this staircase is hard to see. Walked all the way back to the start of the room looking for where I was meant to go because I didn't see it at first.

>>1070415

Oh boy. You are in the really hard parts of the game now. The hallway just before the boss with the medusa heads and knights is total hell.

>>1070429
Managed to get through it all right with a double then triple axe. First attempt to get through it ended terribly though. Death was going alright until I tried to turn around and attack, but pressed the buttons in the wrong order resulting in me getting a scythe to the back and dying.

>>1070432

You didn't even get half his health. Damn.

Stole the ball with a few seconds left. Back to genesis again rolled James Pond 3: Operation Starfish

>>1070437
Yeah looking back it didn't go as well as I thought haha. Next attempt went better made it to him with triple cross. Was stood on the ledge on the right but managed to get knocked down by a scythe and couldn't get back up before dying.

>>1070441

You lucky guy.

>>1070446

You know the game only has 6 levels, right?

>>1070454
Yeah. Kinda glad to be honest its 2am here and I want to finish this before I got to bed. Didn't expect to spend near enough an hour on level 4. Been fun though never gotten this far before.

>>1070457

The last level of Castlevania arguably takes longer than the first five levels put together.

>>1070461
Fair enough. Well if it gets too late I'll decide what to do. Either save state or just quit and do it all again tomorrow. Kinda determined to beat it now though.

>>1070470
If you ever happen to play Castlevania 3 try to play the Japanese version. It had a special sound chip that made the music amazing.

Bah fucked up the captcha and made a new thread. Ah well.
Finally beat the bony bastard. 3 fucking times I killed him only to get hit by one of his scythes and die as well. Nearly happened this time but I destoryed it.
>>1070524
I want to play 3 I might go through it after I've done my gauntlet. Will have to look into that.

>>1070571

How are you doing now? How is level 6 going?

>>1070618
It's damn tough. This is as far as I've managed to get so far. Those damn Fleamen keep fucking me over. Managed to get a system down with those bats in the first room though so I can skip past all of them without too much risk of dying. Less risk than trying to kill them on those tiny little platforms anyway.

>>1070643

Yup, that's the room the game ends for most players. And guess what? It's the last area with enemies before you reach Dracula. You are so close! Those hunchbacks are so hard.

Great game. Just wish there was a difficulty setting.

Made it to Dracula. Thought there was gonna be more of that level for a minute. I do not not see this going well.

Fucking cheap asshole keeps appearing on top of me. He should fight fair.

>>1070682

What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets. But enough talk…

Have at you!

Just got a game over against him. Whoever decided that if you reach Dracula and game over you restart at Dracula, I just want to say I love you.

>>1070713

Yeah, if you had to replay the clock tower each time, that would suck.

Have you thought about streaming your gauntlets and making videos?

>>1070720
Well this is my first gauntlet so I hadn't even considered it. I may look into it as it's something I have considered in the past. Got fuck all money at the moment though so if I need to buy anything for it like a mic or whatever then its out of the question until I get a job.

My emulator is making this so much harder than it needs to be. For some reason Dracula doesnt always flash before he appears so I have no idea where he is going to show up every time he teleports. Most the time its either on top of me or directly infront of where I'm walking.

>>1070783

Dracula always tries to appear on top of you. That's gonna be extra hard if he doesn't flash.

>>1070783
I highly recommend PuNES for NES emulation. It's probably the most accurate NES emu out there. May not be the most fully featured, and it doesn't compare to FECUXD-SP for debugging and whatnot, but for emulation I haven't seen better.

Managed to fix it somehow by turning on some hrrible filter. So close to the end.

Well holy water certainly made that second form much easier.
Its taken me 4 hours but I have finally completed Castlevania for the first time, and the first game in my gauntlet! That was great fun. Fucking infuriating at times, but so satisfying now that I managed to do it.

Looking forward to my next one tomorrow. Hopefully its something a tad easier next time so I'm not up until 4am trying to beat the damn thing!

And >>1070846 cheers I will look into that. I don't play NES games very often but I've been wanting to play some recently so it'll be good to have a decent one. Used jnes for Castlevania and it was fine up until Dracula. Then it nearly made the game impossible.

>>1070868

Congrats.

>>1070906
Cheers man

>>1070868
Congrats Anon. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Well, let's get started

First time here, I'll start with Batman (Nes). Never played it

>>1071615
I gave up with this game, worst jump ever.

AND THE RERROLL IS: KING OF KINGS!

I'm getting good luck with the quality of the games. First Castlevania and now this. Never played it before but the series is one I've wanted to play for a while so this should be good.
Is 3 days enough for this game, or should I give this one a week? Absolutely no idea how long it is.

>>1071658
>Batman
>worst jump ever

lol what. It's one of the best platformers on the NES and the wall climbing is awesome.

Wow the flowersin the forest were kicking my ass a bit. Not gotten used to the range of my attack yet. Hopefully will be able to practice a bit against this boss.

Heh guess I was meant to get my ass kicked. Managed to blow one Raptor up before dying so I feel it went well.

Just beat this guy. Almost killed me at one point used acid rain which left me with 1 hp. Spammed the shit out of his heart with alchemy though and he went down. Didn't even realise you could attack his hands until he had one or two hits left.

>>1071856
Use spells. While they take reagents to use they get stronger the more times you use them. The dog can be used to find more reagents which is always nice. And about attacking. You will get the handle of the range and the timing of your attacks. You swing and you have to wait half a second or so and hit again.

>>1072001
Yeah I've started using spells more they are pretty good. Sometimes the dog sniffs in a location and no matter where I search around it I can't find the item which is kinda irritating, but it doesn't happen all that often.

Used my nectar in this fight because I was about to die, and then killed the last Viper straight after meaning that I wasted it. Got 2 more after though so it's not too bad. Really enjoying this game so far.

>>1071998

I legitimately gave up on that game for years (i.e. stopped renting it) because of that asshole.

>>1068081
Dude I just rolled Soul Blazer too.
>tfw I played through about half just about a month ago

>>1071658
I completed this horrible game, right now I gonna fuck this shit and attend to the church

>>1071839
The wall jump is a cool thing, but the normal jump no. You can't control it and have a little delay or maybe is my emulator.

Next game on Snes is Dragon Quest III

>>1070194
Cool story: my castlevania ROM is also spanish. guess that's the default on coolrom or whatever.

Another weekend, another restart. Rolling...

Fuck yeah double dragon! I played through Neon with my missus last month, really enjoyed it. Fun times are about to be had.

>>1072617
combat seems simple enough. smallish combos, a+b to jump (can't seem to do any air moves though)

>>1072642
Looks like I'll be done soon... he says

>>1072657
oh fuck those hearts at the bottom weren't lives?!

>>1072664
What were they?

Also fuck whatever these things are. Frogs I think. They hit hard from surprisingly far away. Killing them is a nightmare.

The dude behind this snake is an ass. Asks me for a hand and is now making me fend for myself against it.

>>1072762
Bah he killed me. Gonna have to level up a bit I think went through 7 Call Gems on him doing between 90 - 200 damage each and he survived.

Currently working my way through the gauntlet.

What am I in for?

>>1073381
Hell.

Just beat the first boss, this is pretty challenging.

I like the platforming though, it's neat how you can use your vacuum to stick to surfaces and leap off of them.

Onto Stage 2.

This stage is already becoming a headache, with these cogs that keep spinning and no real way to see what's just outside the screen.

Boy, I sure love falling just offscreen to my death.

Good thing this game is generous with it's continues.

Finally made it past that nightmare platforming section, now I'm up against these two clowns.

There's gotta be a way to dodge their projectile attacks.

AW YEAH

Stage 3 looks pretty cool.

This stage is no joke.

I have this wall coming in towards me.

I guess there are switches that reset the position of the wall, but I'm not sure how to flip them.

Not sure what the point of these things are, but I have to spend 15 seconds running on a treadmill before I can proceed. Fun!

Nothing like some airlocks to instantly kill you without warning.

Whoa, that's kinda trippy. Too bad it doesn't really accomplish much.

Boss time.

I hate this guy.

VICTORY IS MINE

Stage 4.

Mode 7 graphics.

It's a space...cat.

This boss is a real bitch too.
