I got Rygar. This is a pretty fun game so far. Granted, I'm wandering around looking for a crossbow thanks to some giant dude on a pedestal.

/vr/ gaunlet is back!!!

Oh boy here we go

>>1602773
Haha, I just got that game along with my AV Famicom.

>>1602773
ok I suck at this, rerolling

>>1601673
Update on Rygar.
Fuck boss rush mode

I do wish this was a sticky.

Rolling.

Oh shit, seeing how bad the Jekyll/Hyde game was I started watching the AVGN video on it and apparently the game uses the same music as Rygar.

What, the out-of-nowhere death? If you go farther as Hyde than as Jekyll, you die.

No, doesn't make sense to me either.

>>1603031
The game is trash. Even ignoring the useless attack, and the bullshit deaths and rules, the gameplay is just "slowly walk right til the end of the level". I'm pretty sure the dogs give unavoidable damage too, so that's cool.

>tfw nobody does the gauntlet anymore
I miss young /vr/

>>1603536
The gauntlet keeps dying for the same reasons.

>>1602919
>>1602945

This. This right here. If it was a list of all the fun and enjoyable games, then people would keep playing and not stop after a half hour or so. The Gauntlet should be about bragging rights, and there are no bragging rights to having beaten Barbie's Adventure or some shit.

The lists need to be pruned. The garbage needs to be removed. That is the only way the gauntlet will ever last more than 20-30 posts a thread. Take out the game show games, take out the educational games, take out the really bad games, make the list something where every game is worth playing. It's supposed to be about a random challenge, not hoping you get a game that is actually fun to play.

But we have a few purists, who apparently don't even do the gauntlet anymore, who complain that the list should be "truly random". I implore the person hosting the lists to stop being held back by people who obviously aren't going to play anyways. Lets fix the lists and get the gauntlet some life again.

A new op image would revitalize things, its one of those images I just glide over it without thinking

>Take out the game show games, take out the educational games, take out the really bad games, make the list something where every game is worth playing. It's supposed to be about a random challenge, not hoping you get a game that is actually fun to play.

I could get behind this. Also games that aren't beatable or in which the only goal is to get a high score.

Do we have some sort of comprehensive /vr/ essentials list?

Your game is "Magmax"! Now go play it

son of a bitch

Some weird ass side scrolling shooter. Only cool part is you can turn into some big mech like thing by collecting pieces I thought were enemy's and tried to avoid at the start.

This is gonna be rough. No continues.

>>1605215
This Game doesn't even have levels. You come to a "boss" and just keep going and if you die before the next checkpoint you have to fight the boss again... sheesus

(Meant to post this here, sorry to the last thread on the board.)

UGH.

>>1605215
Update: this sad excuse for a game has no levels and no continues. You can earn 1 free man and that's it.

There's little grey "holes" you can fall through. This lower road is punishing as hell.

also: my robot has a huge electro dong? lolwtf

Good points so far: You won't die if you have collected an extra piece of "magmax"? You just lose that chunk. Also it seems destroying enemies isn't that much of a priority. Just avoid them and most sail on past.

>>1604869
Someone needs to remove all those stupid sports games. There's way too damn many of 'em.

Keep only the non-realistic ones like the Kunio games or NBA Jam.

>>1604869

Purist here, and veteran of the pre-/vr/ Gauntlet. People play for different reasons. Those who play for fun don't like to experience the harsh punishment of the original Gauntlet (back to square one) or the rough side of the systems. That's fine and all, but these are he same people that aren't going to keep doing the Gauntlet. When it gets too hard, or frustrating they simply leave or reroll.

I'm the sort who likes to see all sides of retro gaming, including the ugly and mediocre. I ran the gauntlet many times, but left when it turned into a sort of hugbox for the just-fun sorts. Just started running the Gauntlet in real life with friends instead, with a modified ruleset since we all work long hours. Every week on Wednesday we pick a new game at random from the current Gauntlet theme (NES this time) and have a week to beat it. Next week, it repeats. Last man standing wins, we take a week off, then it's back to business.

This week it was Darkwing Duck. Last week was TaleSpin, which was mediocre, but fun to talk about and figure out, with some pleasant art surprises later in the game.

>>1605276

Anon, that game has no end. Play till it loops.

>>1605169

High score games require you to beat either the top score in the game, or the high score of the last person to do so in the Gauntlet. This is an awesome rule.

The unwritten rule has always been that edutainment can be rerolled. Some choose to stick with it because it's funny.

>>1604869

Also, Barbie for the NES has a surprisingly brutal platforming segment in the music world, as I recall. My sister had that game when I was a kid, and I beat it out of sheer masochism.

fuck yeah. Also can't get fceux to screenshot without going into TAS edit mode so yeah I doubt I'll have any others unless I beat it

>>1604869
Someone needs to grab this project: /vr/ game gaunlet: the re-doing

>>1606119

The fundamental problem with any attempt ot prune the lists is that someone is, essentially, deciding what is fun for others. Of course there are some shoe-ins that the vast majority agree on. Chances are, those games are already heavily discussed on this board as it is. The more you trim the list, the more you run the risk of depriving someone of an unexpected favorite.

For example: someone recommended taking out sports and game shows. There's too many of the former, it was noted. You know why? Because they sold. Because plenty of people loved them. Game shows? I love old game show video games (and new ones), bullshit and all.

But what about those hard games? The poorly made ones? Jekyll and Hyde is in this very thread, after all. But some people like the challenge. It's fun for them. It's that little moment of fear when you realize you could lose the Gauntlet. There's no denying that challenge, even unfair challenge, is a huge part of the retro experience.

High score games being taken out? That's going to take quite a few puzzle games off the list. Edutainment? That one I can see, but again, some of us actually played those games when we were little kids. An addendum to the rules allowing rerolls of edutainment would be fine.

tl;dr the gauntlet shouldn't be about someone deciding what other people might find fun. This is hardly the first time it's been suggested, and it's always shot down for the same reasons. At the end of the day, ain't a motherfucker in this thread gonna play something that makes him or her unhappy.

Am I too late, guys?

>>1606447
Wait.. Disregard this, I'm a retard. We start at NES? Mmk.

You poor bastards. Have a pity bump.

God dammit.

In regards to helping to revive the gauntlet, I think the pruned playlist of essentials and highly-rated games among /vr/ would not be a bad idea, but also have the purist playlist (for people like me) who want to have that extra added challenge. I don't think it'd hurt to have two different play-lists.

>>1606454
OH MY GOD, I feel so bad for you.

>>1608068

Splitting the base isn't a good idea. You're just asking for people to start trolling then.

1 of 2, lousy character limit.

Given that the threads keep dying with barely anyone playing, this really isn't a concern. You are saying we shouldn't try to inject life into the Gauntlet just because some possible potential player might not play a game they like because it got pruned? That's not really a good reason. And we haven't even decided on a method yet, why are you jumping to the idea of one person deciding?

>For example: someone recommended taking out sports and game shows. There's too many of the former, it was noted. You know why? Because they sold. Because plenty of people loved them. Game shows? I love old game show video games (and new ones), bullshit and all.
No, I recommended taking out the game show ports, someone else recommended the sports games. Re-read. As for the game show ports, the gauntlet is supposed to be about challenge, not Wheel of Fortune or Jeopardy.
>But what about those hard games? The poorly made ones? Jekyll and Hyde is in this very thread, after all. But some people like the challenge. It's fun for them. It's that little moment of fear when you realize you could lose the Gauntlet. There's no denying that challenge, even unfair challenge, is a huge part of the retro experience.
I said nothing against hard games. Poorly designed shit can be enjoyed by some people, but that doesn't mean that it's enjoyed by most. And this is the part you don't seem to be understanding, things like this are the reason the gauntlet threads last 20-30 posts on average and then die. Because most people DON'T enjoy poorly designed games.
cont.

>>1608097
part 2.
As to unfair challange being a part of retro gaming, no. Unfair challange has always been a part of bad game design, so has boring and cut and paste levels, but that doesn't mean I consider bad levels to be an essential part of the "experience".

>High score games being taken out? That's going to take quite a few puzzle games off the list. Edutainment? That one I can see, but again, some of us actually played those games when we were little kids. An addendum to the rules allowing rerolls of edutainment would be fine.
I never said anything about high-score games, but I could see where someone might not want to spend three days playing Tetris trying to beat someone else's high score just to move on. And since the gauntlet is about challange, what would be the point of the edutainment games? If you wanna go nostalgia trip, go for it, but why waste everyone else's time?
>tl;dr the gauntlet shouldn't be about someone deciding what other people might find fun. This is hardly the first time it's been suggested, and it's always shot down for the same reasons. At the end of the day, ain't a motherfucker in this thread gonna play something that makes him or her unhappy.
And nothing changes, the gauntlet is still averaging 20-30 posts a thread and then dying. Doing the same thing over and over hasn't fixed the problem yet has it? So the solution is to continue to do nothing?

Like I said, due to some people not wanting any changes, the gauntlet is in a state of stasis. If no one else wants to prune the lists, I'll do it myself. Hell, I'll offer a prize to the first winner.

>>1608078
Why would that invite trolling?

I figured that by having two different playlists that we could satisfy both parties, right?

>>1608362

Hardcore's making fun of casuals, casuals making fun of purists, and just splitting the population in general. It's not hard to imagine the hardcore players referring to their list as the true gauntlet.

None if this is my concern, really; I just do a private gauntlet these days with friends. Making this week's prize as I type, actually.

>>1608374
That's a good point. With that idea in mind, it would be tough to make any sort of different list for people to use for the gauntlet, since there will always be an unsatisfied party.

And I also do gauntlet just by myself, and I could continue to do it myself, but I just feel that having people do these sorts of challenges somewhere around the world, and we tell our stories and experiences about them is kind of fun, especially with more obscure games. Even if I enjoy this, I can understand the decline for these threads.

>>1608393

That's the other, dirty side to the gauntlet: the thread is often just a bunch of people yelling their progress into the thread, with little actual discussion, due either to lack of interest or familiarity. Half the time it's just people describing the game. It's mildly interesting, but rarely conducive. When I used to run it on /vr/, I made gifs of end bosses and victories, along with mosaics. People seemed to like that. Encouraging webms of gameplay and including a guide to making them would help more than most other options.

>>1608417
Yeah. Some of the people sharing weren't always the best at sharing their progress, or people wouldn't care enough to inquire. That's certainly a big problem with the gauntlet, and why it would perhaps be better with a close group of friends.

Still, I feel that it is partially the case that little discussion happens in gauntlet threads because there is a lot of inactivity in these threads. I suppose if there was a way to get people interested in it, that would be great, but it's difficult to find an answer to that.

>>1608438

It's a simple matter of the concept being interesting enough to make many want to try, but long-term only attracts a very small number who are happy to carry on their own if the threads die. The concept of the gauntlet is fundamentally flawed, and was almost addressed by another thread that tried to become regular: group play.

The system I and my friends use is simple: once a week a game is selected, and everyone has one week to beat it. You can play for fun (not interested in competing/already eliminated), for victory (to advance to the next round) or for glory (bonus objectives, like high scores or 100% completion). You'd need to have a sign up at the beginning of each gauntlet, track eliminations and have everyone strap a trip on. Some people would cheat; that's inevitable. But it will foster the the thread by providing a weekly common ground. No list pruning needed, because bullshit games are more fun when you have someone you can bitch about them with.

Someone would have to step up and be the organizer. s3krit is the obvious choice, if he's still around.

>>1608074
Thar be crocs in there. I ain't goin'.

>>1608708

Fix that aspect ratio, friend.

>>1608147

>>1608147
I think the "you can reroll edutainment" was an actual rule back during young /vr/.

I do have a game rolled from my last run, I just haven't gotten the Commodore Amiga emulator to work yet. Maybe I should go to /vg/ and ask them about it. I always feel bad when the Gauntlet dies when I could've bumped it.

>>1608887
I don't see how making half of my screen black will make the game any more enjoyable.

>>1609650
Hey, I finally got it to work!

So I rolled "Suspicious Cargo" for the Commodore Amiga. I was expecting some kind of spy game, then this shit comes up and it looks to be some space game. The music is really intense, it sounds like something befitting DOOM, though I can't find any music of it on Youtube.

I noticed the game starts with a 3-5 minute long opening, and I haven't gotten to the game yet, though I'm concerned that this is going to be some really intense shit.

>>1609730
Shit shit shit copy protection.

>>1609753
on page 88

>>1609765
Oh bless you, anon. I couldn't find a PDF of the manual, everything was a .txt file.

>>1609773
:^)

Let's see how far I get in the gauntlet this time.

>>1609773
Okay, so it's a text adventure game, I'm awful at these, but let's stumble on.

I woke up at a Hotel, and a courier handed me a letter. I want to read the letter but it's too dark. There seem to be about 30 buttons on the left side of the screen and I know the meaning of none of them. Great start.

>>1609806
>>1609773

Holy shit was the answer actually 88? I was just fucking around and made that number up.

>>1609831
I think so, unless this is one of those delayed copy protections where it lets you play for half an hour then unceremoniously kills you.

>>1609806
Oh lawdy.

I read the letter, and I found out that I'm a loser who can't pay the mortgage of my ship. The mortgage recently changed ownership, and the new landlord wants me to pay up immediately. I'm informed that under law one of the ways mortgages can be paid off is by involuntarily removing the debted's organs. If I don't want that to happen, I have to carry this shady cargo to a destination without being caught by any law. If the contents of that crate are found out, consequences will never be the same.

>>1609831
It was probably cracked to accept any answer.

>>1609804
This is the most uninspired shmup I've played. This boss is pretty sweet though.

>>1609887
And that's clear. What a piece of a shit, not fun to play at all.

>>1610000
Time for SNES. I've heard of this one, never played it though.

Should be a blast.

>>1609842
Well fuck. I apparently took too long, so the guy who sent me the letter came back and offed me. I guess it's what I deserve for spending time kissing the mirror and getting naked.

>>1610063
Forgot image.

Well, guess I have to start over. I hope I can skip the 5 minute intro this time.

>>1610065
Damn, this is hard. I can't figure what to say to leave the hotel room, and if I wait around too long the guy comes and shoots me.

>>1610084
Try typing directions, like Go north, go out, go south, etc. Or maybe even leave room?

>>1610090
I tried all the cardinal directions, it says there's nothing there, and it doesn't understand the words "leave" or "exit."

I finally figured out I have to say "out" to leave.

>>1610107

This is why I hate text adventures.

>>1610128
It's kind of obvious...

>DURR HOW DO I GET OUT OF A ROOM I TRIED TYPING IN IT DIDNT WORK
out
>DURR THATS BULLSHIT I HATE TEXT GAMES READINGS GAY

>>1610107
I got to my ship, but I haven't figured out how to get in; this wouldn't be hard if not for the time limit; I have 2-3 inputs left and then someone shoots me in the head and I have to wait 30 seconds so my last save point can load.

So far I've tried:

>enter ship
>enter lucky lady (Lucky Lady is the name of the ship)
>board ship
>board lucky lady
>get in ship (I get a confusing message here; "I don't see any library lady here.")
>get in lucky lady
>get on ship
>get on lucky lady
>go north (nothing to the north)
>go west (nothing to the west)
>go east (nothing to the east, south would take me backwards)
>in
>in ship
>in lucky lady
>go to ship
>go to lucky lady
>go in ship
>go in lucky lady
>go on ship
>go on lucky lady
>go up stairs (there are steps leading up to the Lucky Lady)
>go up steps
>open door (there's no door)
>move to ship
>move to lucky lady

There's probably something obvious I'm missing, but I'm really trying, I swear.

>>1610128
I'm sure the trouble I'm having is just due to me not playing text adventures; I'm sure if I was more experienced I'd have less trouble.

>>1610164
Try:

board ship
embark ship
go up
up

(w/ no stairs on the last two commands)

>>1610170
"Go up" did it. It was something obvious. Thanks, anon, sorry for being retarded. I hadn't considered up and down to be cardinal directions, must be a newbie mistake.

>Wai Wai World 2: SOS!! Parsley Jō
this is the third autoscroller in a row and they're all painfully slow and boring.

>>1610180
No problem, feel free to ask again if you get stuck again.

>>1610180
>figure out the inputs I need to leave the planet
>not enough time to input them as I get shot before I can fly the ship

Guess I have to restart, but at least I know what I'm doing. Time to optimize my path onto the ship.

>>1610220
Ugh, I'm not sure what to do. I've taken the minimum amount of steps possible to get to the ship, then I go straight to the elevator that leads to the cockpit (I tried to close the door to the ship behind me, the game won't let you), but as soon as the door closes, before I can go up, the person with the gun opens the door and shoots me.

I've gotten the vibe you're supposed to hide, but every time I try to hide it says "if you're going to hide there's a better place than [seemingly reasonable location like freezer or locker]" so that feels like the wrong option unless there's a place I just haven't found.

>>1610272
Sounds like a puzzle.

What items do you have in your inventory?
What's the full description of the room you are in?

>>1610272
Anything?

>>1610284
I'll try to post everything I can.

My inventory is:
>You are wearing some overalls.
>You are carrying a message, a red keycard, a travel bag and a navigation cartridge.

The message just tells you about the crate you have to deliver if you don't want your organs harvested by what I assume is the space mafia, the red keycard opens the pressure door that leads to the ship (you put it in a slot, but there's no slot on the inside so the door stays open), and I haven't gotten a chance to use the navigation cartridge; it was given to me by the courier who game me the message and I assume it's coordinates.
The travel bag has its own inventory:
>The travel bag contains a towel, a code-cracker, a ten credit card and a dog eared leaflet.

Reading the leaflet will just tell you the history of your ship; it was a space liner that got turned into a freighter, fitted with short-range hyperdrives only good for in-system travel, and most passenger rooms turned into cargo spaces.

The first room after entering the ship:

>The Boarding Lounge is where passengers would wait after boarding the ship before being assigned to their staterooms. A short corridor leads south to the pressure door that is the main entrance to the ship, while another hatchaway leads north to the corridor. The lounge itself is furnished with plush couches and a deep carpet that is in desperate need of cleaning. A large graffiti scrawl on the wall says "Welcome Aboard Captain Jonah". You painted it there yourself as you could never bully Babbage, the ship's computer, into saying it.
>Babbage is here.

If you go south it takes you outside. If you go north:
>You are standing at the terminus of a corridor, which continues to the north. There are three hatchways leading to the east, south, and west. The south hatchway leads to the boarding lounge and the main pressure doors, which you can just see from here.

Text limit, will continue in next post.

>>1610325
If you go east from there, you go to the Cryo Room:
>You are standing in the cryo storage room, which is used to transport delicate cargos that need to be carried in frozen storage. A freezer stands against one wall, next to a large rack.

If you go west instead, you go to the Crew Dormitory:
>This is the main crew dormitory, where all the menial and engineering staff slept. The gray painted walls are bare, except for the pale patches where their favorite posters hung. All of the bunks have been stripped, and all of the lockers are empty. All pretty sad and lonesome, really. You'd better leave before you get depressed and start crying over your keyboard.

If you went north from the corridor:
>You are standing at a three-way corridor junction next to the fore elevator doors. The doors are to the west, and next to them is an call button on the wall. The corridors run south, east, and northwest.

You have two turns before you're shot at that point. The elevator takes one turn to call, and one turn to step in, so you can't use it.

Going northwest:
>You are standing at a junction in the corridor, from which you can go west, southeast or down. Westwards, a long corridor leads to the engineering deck, while tot he southeast lies the main deck complex. An escalator leads down from your feet to the tube station.

Going east:
>The corridor comes to and end here and three hatchways lead off to the north, east, and south. The corridor leads back west.

Going to any of those places in the northwest or east junctions leads to you being shot right after being described the rooms.

That's about everything I have, sorry for taking so long to type it.

>>1610337
Here's some things to try

>Freezer
Hide in freezer
Hide behind freezer
Go in Freezer
Go in

>Bed
Hide under Bed
Hide behind bed
Go under bed
Go under
Go down

>Locker
Hide in locker
Go in locker
Go in

Also have you tried any of:

search bed
look under bed
search locker
look in locker
open locker
open freezer
search freezer
look in freezer
look under freezer
look behind freezer

You might have to disable the elevator. Also the towel might have some use. You could try covering yourself with the towel, or hiding underneath it or something. Might only work in a specific room. PErhaps hide in the locker and drape the towel in front to cover? That might be a bit advanced.

Also you might have missed an item you need to beat this puzzle earlier in the game. If none of that works, retry the game and see if you can find any items anywhere else.

>>1610349
I'll start inputting those. "Hide in freezer/locker" didn't work but I didn't try any other variants. I think there's a bar in a direction I didn't go, I'll restart and look there if nothing here works. Thank you so much for being patient and waiting for me to type all that out.

>>1610325
>>1610337

somebody stream this shit

>>1610352
Bar might be significant. You might be able to use it to bar the elevator doors closed, for example.

>>1610353
I've never tried to stream something, I'll see if I can get a Twitch stream up, but I'm currently running on a toaster so I'm not sure if it'll work.

>>1610357
Actually, it's a place that serves alcohol.

>>1610360
Might be something in the bar. Maybe a weapon or something, or who knows items are always in random places.

>>1610360
Hows it going? Any updates?

>>1610353
>>1610360
I tried to stream but my computer just can't handle it, sorry.

>>1610349
>>1610424
Sorry, spent a lot of time trying to get the stream to work.

I tried all of these commands. The freezer is empty, and there's nothing under/behind it but dust. "Bed" isn't a term, and apparently, despite being mentioned in the room description, I can't see any lockers or bunks. I also tried hiding under the towel/behind the couch, but it told me I could think of better places than that. Going to the bar, I fond a detective flirting with a barmaid, and the barmaid turning him down. The only thing of interest is a plastic mermaid, that I can't take as it's in the back of the bar. Searching things brought up nothing. If you talk to the detective early on you find out a few things about his personal life; I'm not sure if that's important or not.

>You chat sociably with [Detective] Harrigan for a while, and find out he likes opera, cricket, and is madly in love with a girl named Kerry from Earth.

>>1610430
Wait, I think I got it. If you linger in the street after talking to the detective, you can follow him. I'll see where that takes me, he might be the guy that shoots me because it describes on his person the "BIG Gun" that's been shooting me.

>>1610430
Since you can interact with the freezer, I'd bet that's going to be the solution to a puzzle.

Since it seems like you are stuck, you have to be missing some item. Triple check every room, search everything look behind everything, even innocuous thing. Rugs can have trapdoors hidden underneath them.

Also maybe you can talk/flirt to the barmaid? I think her name might be Kerry.

Try to get the mermaid, there has to be some puzzle to solve to get it.

>>1610459
>>1610460
Huh, I found out some interesting things by following the detective. While I lost him at the passport place because I had to stop and give my passport to the guard there, I found a weaselly man go through the gate as well. I went on my ship, and rather than getting shot by the detective, I ended up being arrested by the weaselly man. Still a game over, but things turned out completely differently and I think I got some extra turns. If I plan things out I might be able to follow the detective further and maybe live longer.

Or maybe part of it was giving the courier a tip out of curiosity. Usually the courier is with the guy that shoots me, but he wasn't there this time.

>>1610459
That's good. Keep updating. Do you have any pics of the locations, or is it all text?

>>1610476
I have two pics so far.

When I leave the hotel you start at, there's the bar opposite to you and a path to the spaceport to the north. This is the pic for that. The other pic was posted at >>1610164 and is the view of the spaceport when I'm at my ship.

I can confirm I do get extra turns by tipping the courier; that is something I will do every time now. I haven't explored what to do with those turns yet, though.

>>1610494
Oh, Los Pamas is the name of the bar, in case the text in that pic is confusing.

>>1610494
Keep exploring, you should eventually find some items that'll help you for the ship, probably

Though, wouldn't it be something if the game ending is when the ship takes off, making that the final goal of the game?

>>1610513
Well, you have to take the cargo to a destination, so I'd imagine once you got off you'd have to bring your cargo to the destination, which will likely have its own problems since, given someone knows you have the cargo, will likely be difficult.

Okay, so so far I've examined all the rooms to the east of the three-way corridor described in >>1610337 and other than a repair manual, there's nothing to interact with there. I'll take the northwest path next.

I tried the elevator as well; apparently it can't be used either.

>>1610546
What's the repair manual say? Have you seen anything broken? Maybe the freezer?

>>1610546
Nothing's been broken so far, and the repair manual says:

>As you flick through the pages of the manual, you notice that it contains step-by-step guides to repairing many popular mechanoids. The sort of stuff which you should have paid attention to in mechanoid repair class, but never did.

I examined the fridge, and it says the model is outdated and doesn't affect the temperature much, but it says nothing about it being broken.

>>1610579
Going west, there's nothing of note besides a small bottle (and it takes six turns to get to that room; seven inputs seems egregious on top of the five turns it takes to get the manual, so I think I'll forego it unless I see a puzzle that explicitly needs a small bottle) and a life system unit that it won't let you fiddle with. I went down the escalator, and ended up in a new location:

>You are standing on the platform of the main deck tube station. On a small pole, in front of you, is the call button, beyond which are the tube car rails. An escalator leads up tot he main deck proper behind you to the south.

It appears there's nowhere to go besides taking the tubes, so I'm about to see where that goes.

>>1610579
>mechanoids

Have you seen any robots in the game?

>>1610595
There's a cleaning droid in a lounge area between the passport guard and my ship, though it's not broken and you can't interact with it. I assume there will be more droids, though.

>>1610601
Oh, I forgot, there's also another image at the tube station. It changes before and after you call for a train (I'm confused that there's a train on my spaceship).

I tried to get in the train, failed, and before I could succeed the law caught up to me.

>>1610615
Geez how big is this spaceship anyway? Gotta have a train to get to different parts of it.

HAve you seen any liquids anywhere in the game? I'm thinking one puzzle might involve filling the small bottle, and taking it to the fridge to cool off.

>>1610619
No liquids yet. I need to take a break from this, clear my head a bit, I've been playing it nonstop for hours.

Thanks for following along with me, by the way. Usually when I play the Gauntlet everyone's just doing their own thing, I'm enjoying things more by communicating with others about the game.

>>1610621
Good luck! Glad I could help.

>>1610653
Picked it back up, and I realized I've been retarded. When you go in the elevator it automatically moves, it just doesn't tell you it moved unless you stepped out of the elevator, which I hadn't done because up until now I spent so much time trying to make the elevator work that the law would catch up to me. Time to examine this new place.

>>1610671
A-ha! When you get to the pilot area, one of your droids needs repaired; that's where the manual is needed.

>>1610703
Yeah, making progress, I think.

>>1610741
Damnit, forgot image again.

>>1610749
Nice. I'm guessing here's where those navigation chip comes in handy.

Time for B.O.B, a platformer with overly large sprites, fall damage and enemies that fire at you constantly from offscreen.

>>1611090

fuck that fucking game, seriously

>Your game is "Wizards & Warriors"! Now go play it

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

>>1611231
At least it isn't Ironsword

>>1611231

OK this isn't too bad when you get the hang of it.

Sine wave enemies, being unable to move or shoot until certain animations are finished, enemies with homing attacks, platforming feels like it's on ice, the awful soundtrack, the fucking racing level.

I am not enjoying this game at all.

>>1611269

savin' all these ladies

This is bullshit.

I've never played a Lolo game before, but it looks fun.

Rolling for great justice

>>1611516

How many levels does this fucking game have?

It never ends.

Got Mike Tyson's Punch Out. Can I use the codes if I make it to the code?

>>1611521
Ha, those things are a real pain in the ass.

>>1611532

46.

>>1611543

It's generally considered acceptable, but is up to you. A good rule of thumb: if you can consistently beat the guy before him, then yes. If you barely squeak through? No.

God jesus finally.

This felt more like an Amiga title that never managed to get on that platform because even Amiga owners wouldn't put up with this bullshit.

Terrible fucking game.

GBC time.

Why. Just why.

>>1611794
she's got a nice butt

>Silver Surfer

Welp.
I'm not even any good with shmups either.
Pray for me, /vr/.

>>1611845
At least you get a bitchin' soundtrack to highlight your suffering with.

>>1611845
This game certainly isn't pulling any punches.
Two game overs in short succession. Maybe i should try another world.

>>1611851
Definitely, the soundtrack is suprisingly awesome. Might just be the thing to carry me through this.

>>1611875

Shit, it's barely been 20 minutes and i've got cramp. I haven't button mashed this hard in a long time.

Send help

I have no idea what's going on.

The tomatoes are destroyed, the world is safe, fuck yeah America.

Whatever they were aiming for with this game, they missed it.

>>1611231
Dude, Wizards & Warriors is easy peasy

You have unlimited continues and it's not too hard, plus it's fun. One of the few games I could beat as a kid.

>>Your game is "Golden Axe II"! Now go play it

Welp, gentlemen. I'll be back in an hour. Got this shit by the ass

>>1611886
See attached Jewtube video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvnRBywkUZ0

You're pretty much guaranteed to not win ever

At which point in the gauntlet am I allowed to just shoot myself?

>>1611998
Generally that's Genesis for me, mainly because whenever I play Genesis on the Gauntlet I get reeeeaaaly long RPGs.

>>1611998
This game is a running jokes amongst my friends.

Also, have fun with what is quite possible generic and boring title on the SNES (or Genesis--I think the games are largely the same)

>>1612014
joke, not joke

I just woke up not too long ago.

>>1612014
>SNES or Genesis

I wish. Nope, I get to slug through the Gamegear version which seems to have the same animation locking problem as B.O.B.

I wonder if I can swap with the Silver Surfer guy.

Doing an awful stream of my second attempt of beating Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! if anyone wants to watch. I always seem to get stuck at Mr. Sandman. Twitch is at /toorpp

>>1611997
>avgn

Report and ignore.

>>1612107
I dunno, I thought he used to be good. Not the anon who posted AVGN, just saiyan.

Cmon so close

I rolled "Kings of the Beach" for NES. And god damn am I terrible. Webm is me failing.
There seems to be two real game modes, "match" and "tournament". I guess the game will be done after a tournament, or something.

>>1612224
Hey man, don't mean to be a bother, but how do you get such clear looking emulator webm? What's your settings and software do you use?

I've tried before and mine look always look, just terrible.

>>1612236
I'm just using Nestopia. I didn't change any settings, except for the size of the screen.

>>1612246
Does nestopia let you save right to webm?

>>1612253
I don't think so. I had Fraps open and converted the avi.

DOES THE FIRST SHINOBI BOSS EVER DIES
JESUS CHRIST

>>1612224
Have done two rounds so far. Not sure how long it goes. My name seems to be Smith.
I don't know anything about volleyball so I'm not sure why I sometimes score and sometimes I don't. But it's fun, however it works.

Please, please give me something good to play next. I beg of you.

>>1612302
Lost on the third game, 15 to 11. Gonna take a break, Volleyball is srs

Fuck.

>>1612302
Snjn Smith or however his name is spelled, and Randy Stokolos. The game gets hard as FUCK later, and you pretty much NEED a second player because the partner AI is SHIT.

>Dragon Quest III

oh fuck me this is going to take a week, isn't it?
wait, was this one even in english?

>>1612584
I think the first four are either all in English or there are definite translation patches for them.

>>1612592
Every main Dragon Quest is in English.

Rule question: I've been playing punchout for the past forever and I keep getting to Super Macho Man no problem, but I always die on him. Would it be fair to use the code to go straight to macho man?

>>1612592

Yeah I found a translation patch quite easily.

This seems to be standard JRPG fare; I've played all the old Final Fantasies and Mother and shit but never touched a DQ game. For some reason I recruit party members at a tavern? Are they permanent or can be they be killed and replaced or what?

Basically if anyone has any big tips for DQ3 it'd be swell.

>>1612615

Sorry to double post, forgot my pic.

Alright, here we go
Wish me luck, I've never done the gauntlet before

>>1612607
If you can get to Super Macho Man with no problem, why don't you just get to him instead of cheating?

>>1612618

Why are you playing the SNES version? Aren't you supposed to start with NES games? This game exists on NES.

>>1613096

Because I completed my NES game?

This game seems like it's going to be very long. I have Bort (Hero), Klugman (Mage), Nancy (Cleric), and Crow (Fighter). So far its pretty easy.

>>1612615
>>1613116

Yeah that game is really long. This game is second only to Dragon Quest 7 for being the longest Dragon Quest game, but IMO its the best one so you're in for some fun.

Sadly you haven't played Dragon Quests 1 and 2 first so you won't catch/understand the huge twist when it happens. But that's ok.

>Are they permanent or can be they be killed and replaced or what?

Yeah they are permanent, they just allow you to make a bunch of characters because there's a class change system later on in the game that makes the characters more unique than just their current class.

>>1613116

What kind of name is Bort?

>>1613116

Oh and here's a tip: the personality of each character influences their stat gains, so you want to manage them somewhat in order to make sure that they get a personality that matches their class. For instance, if you have a mage that has a Tough personality, then they will probably end up with more strength and less intelligence than you want.

But you can change each characters personality by using books that you find.

>>1613131

You just helped me so, so much. I was not getting what all these "personality" books were for. My Hero is "Lazy", what does that mean?

Also there is no menu that tells you what items actually do, so unless the name is obvious it's very frustrating. I figured out that "Wing of Wyvern" returns you to the last town.

>>1613135

I don't know specifically about "Lazy", but it doesnt sound like it will give you anything good. I remember that the personalities aren't balanced; some are objectively better than others, and some are just plain bad, with poor gains all around. Lazy is most likely one of those. So I'd try and change that one pretty damn quick.

>Dreamworks
This is going to be shrektacular.

First time doing the gauntlet.
Time to get mad.

I love when brawlers have pits you can throw people down.

I hate when they pull this shit though.

>>1613485
>no where to go
>can only kill yourself

These controls and this jumping delay.
Thia game is making me upset.

>>1613064
How is it cheating if the game gives you the code? He earned that code man. It would be cheating if he just googled it.

Question about the gauntlet. Does the time constraints mean you are doing this in real time? Or do you get 72 hours of games time? I want to get back into retro gaming and the gauntlet seems like a good way to go about it but I also have a life. If you can pause the game clock while you sleep,eat,shit,go to work,etc then I'd try this.

Should there be a rule about codes or not? Is using them seen as bad or no?

>>1613693

Real time.

>>1613726

The rule has always been that codes the game gives you in-game, or in the manual, are okay. Exceptions have generally been made for the Tyson code and the Adventure Island continue code.

>>1613693
Real time.

>>1613726
Password saves should be allowed since the games gives you them to mark your progress. Straight up cheat codes shouldn't be.

>>1613736
>>1613735
Well since you aren't supposed to have outside help from the game, any code you get in game is okay, right?

>>1613748

S'what I said. Or in the manual, in the case of games like Crystal Caves.

The Tyson password is given in game, but only AFTER you beat him. I can't recall if the AI code is in the manual.

Mama Pajama rolled out of bed and got a face full of ninja whoop-ass.

And what do I get for all of this?

Eat a dick.

I beat this shit twice, so I'm calling this finished.

>>1613756
But what about expert mode friend?
You didn't really beat it.

>>1613761
Because expert only unlocks once you've beat it on hard and...

...fine. Fuck you, I'll do it.

>>1613767
I love you anon.

>>1613770
I swear, if I get just a credits screen after this I will punch your dick out your nostrils.

>>1613772
I can only dream.

>Nightshade

This seems promising, noir with a bit of comedy with point and click elements...Not sure how well I'd do having very little adventure game experience, but what the hay, I'll just go along for the ride. Anyone else play this?

>>1613775
I am not doing very well.

>>1613783
How does it feel being a weed?

>>1613734
Fuck that man. I may alter the rules for myself. No cheating but go by game time and not real time.

>>1613840
Start the game when you have the time off.

>>1613868
I can dedicate maybe an hour or two during the week days whole free days at a time are very rare for me. I started playing Bucky o hare last night and this morning and I'm already starting to feel guilty that I've put about 4 hours into it. I'm about to beat it though.

>>1612384
Started again and have beat game 3, not sure how many there are.
It's pretty hard. It often comes down to the enemy hitting the ball over the net, my ally immediately hitting it back, and then the cycle repeats until he fails to instantly hit it back. Then I can't predict where it's gonna go so I can't hit it back for him! If only I knew how this volleyball sport worked...

>>1614035
Oh, it gave me a password, that's handy.

>>1613840
>Fuck that man. I may alter the rules for myself.

The point of rules is that everyone must abide by them.

If you're not capable of following them, then you can play through the games at your own pace, but don't pretend you're completing the challenge like everyone else.

>>1613773
Look like your dick remains intact.

The bad dude floats up to the skies in a pillar of light, credits roll and dumps you back to the title screen.

Now I'm finished with this shitty game.

Finally beat Punchout. Onto my next game

Onto the TG-16, a realm I never bothered with outside of Air Zonk.

What horrors does this offer me.

>>1600891
Amiga best retro system/computer hands down.

>>1614142
Nice. Underrated game, you should enjoy it.

>>1614064
That's fair. I just don't have the free time like a kid or teenager would have. I'll try to go by the rules except or the alteration of the time limit. Its not like really matters anyway.

>>1614312
Are there any games, especially before the era of CDs being used to store a lot more data than cartridges, that would take more than 72 in-game hours to beat if you weren't dicking around?

There might be some RPGs, but you're given a week for those due to their extra length.

Dude, I have like 2 levels left on Bucky o hare but doubt I will finish it due to being an adult. Today I have to : go to grocery store, cook, dinner, finish cleaning apartment, wash dishes, get prepared for work tomorrow, etc. I don't have a love oin mom to do shit for me.

Tomorrow isn't much better. After work, I come home, cook dinner, relax for like 30 minutes, go to gym, relax another 30, go to bed.the life of an adult is very different than a life of kid. I could live in filth and eat hot pockets but that kind of life does not appeal to me.

>>1614360
It's a gauntlet, not a sunday drive.

>>1614180
Go to sleep, Sabrina.

Aww shit we still doing these? I can't remember how long ago I put up the site, but glad to see people are still using it.

Guess I better roll.
Aww shit, I've watched a speedrun of this game. Never actually played it.

>>1614481
>reddit: the front page of the internet

>>1614312
I haven't participated in a gauntlet for months because I'm don't have the time for it. I still use the RNG tool to pick out games sometimes, but I refrain from posting in gauntlet threads because I can't put aside enough time to participate properly.

At least gauntlet threads aren't getting deleted faster than porn, though.

>>1614514
oh no I've been rumbled

Got Metal Storm for NES yesterday.

Level 5 boss is fucking wrecking my shit. I'm beginning to figure out the pattern, but he has about a hundred forms

I want to beat him before I go to sleep though, so I only have 2 levels left to do tomorrow

This game was a bitch without maps. Oh well. Onto SNES.

I'm....not exactly sure what I got myself into.

>>1614751
You're in for a pretty fun puzzle game.

>>1614727
Fuck it, I'm going to bed, my reactions are shot. This guy can wait till morning- 5-2 is so burned into my brain now that it'll take two seconds to get back to him

Time to return to this and start with...Space Shuttle Project.

>>1614886
>made by the guys who made the home improvement game

whelp this will suck

>>1614891
Hawking will space

>>1614896
SPACEWEGO

>>1614914
ok so here is the deal. I have to do minigames and they are very touchy and getting to space is a fuck when it dosent give you instructions on what to do

>>1614924
...if you get a game over it dosent give you a password or save option. If you die...your ass is back to square one. Oh and the name input? Thats a minigame in which you have to memborize your entry key and ship.

Shit

>>1614896
I remember this game being both stupid simple and simultaneously extremely difficult.

>>1614927
SPACE!

...im going to die here and do all that shit over arent i

Okay.

>>1614946
Not okay at all. Basically you have to beat four minigames to find four keys and save Mrs. Piggy from Dr. Grump.

In the first minigame you control Kermit and try to avoid obstacles as you scroll downriver on a boat. It's fairly easy and short. The only problem is that any collision sends you into a lengthy stun with a very short invincibility period, making you get hit repeatedly and likely die after every collision. Oh, and the obstacles are randomly generated, so you're fully in the mercy of the computer here, as it can just block the river with obstacles without any room to maneuver and not get hit.

>>1614942
I have no idea what im doing. I have to fly up and such

>>1614968
The second minigame is some sort of a bumper car ride where you collect flags and avoid oil spills, bombs and bouncy things that bounce you into bombs. The controls and physics here are just bullshit, the steering is atrocious, and the placement of the obstacles don't help matterss. Thankfully the screen doesn't scroll automatically here so you can just slowly edge your way bit by bit. I did just that as the controls in this segment are worse than fucking Holocaust. It's also 20 times longer than the boat segment and is sadistic, boring and repetitive. I don't think it's possible to beat it moving faster than at a snail's pace.

>>1614980
Pic.

>>1614984
The next minigame is an Asteroids clone. It uses the same fucking bullshit controls as the bumper car minigame except the screen scrolls automatically here and you bounce around all the time. Oh, and you have enemies shooting at you while you can barely control your piece of shit of a spaceship. Health pickups are generously placed throughout the level, but it's still even worse than the bumper car one, even longer, tedious and painful to play. It has this shitty excuse for a boss in the end, who just spawns mooks and shoots some pellets when it's low on health. If I paid to see it, I'd ask for my money back and sue for harassment.

>>1614970
NOPE IM DONE. TIME TO REROLL

>>1615002
AMAZING LABYRINTH is anything but. You navigate your way throughout countless labyrinth levels avoiding enemies and collecting candies and shit to advance, and as you do there are more enemies and shit like walls that move to crush you. The enemies are pretty dumb and the levels are fairly easy, but they also go on, and on, and on. You can pick up bananas, hearts and spanners(?) to throw at enemies, but they do jackshit. There's not much else to say, and I don't care anymore. This whole game is an abortion. I hate you all for making me play it.

>>1615006
Before i reroll i made somthing

>>1615010
After you beat the first 4 minigames you are thrown into the last platforming stage where you control Kermit wielding a feather(?) that does jackshit. You shuffle forth through a castle and avoid fireballs, bats and ants, occasionally jumping on platforms. This segment suffers from the same awful choppy controls, you can fall through platforms and when you die, you respawn mid-pitfall and instantly die again unless you react within the tiny window.

The boss on the screencap is unbeatable as far as I'm concerned. You're supposed to hit him to knock him back and off the platforms, but whenever you move, you either fall through the platforms and die or get hit yourself, get knocked off, and die. I see no way to beat him except maybe suicide-hitting him repeatedly, and I have way too little lives/rides to manage that. Did I mention that a game over sends you all the way back and you have to beat the 4 atrocious minigames all over again? Rerolling. Never touch this rancid, rotten piece of donkey shit. It's literally Action 52 tier, and is without a doubt one of the worst, vilest games I have ever played.

update on Dragon Quest 3! I am determined to finish this fucking game in a week but I'm not sure where to go. So far the game has been "do dungeons to collect keys". There's still at least one key that I lack, but the game is getting way easier as I level up.

>>1615031
>made by color dreams

fuck

>>1615034
Damn

>>1600891

Why are you missing so many consoles from the OP? I've seen this thread 2 or so times now and it's always missing a couple.

Also, daily reminder that playing the gauntlet in order of most recent console > oldest is cooler since you slowly lose more luxuries and the games get progressively harder closer to the end.

>>1615091
Ok off the bat there is problems. 1. Generic enemies 2. Up is jump 3. It plays the track when you pause 4. I have no idea what im supposed to do

>>1615275

Why do you fuckers have so much trouble using google to find a manual scan? You just stumble around blindly and reroll on day one of anything difficult.

I don't even know how that became the local path. You see what you people do to me? Probably a fucking stroke.

http://www.emuparadise.me/Nintendo_Entertainment_System_ROMs/Space_Shuttle_Project_(USA)/56962-download

You play these shitty games because your grandma remembered that you said you liked the telescope you got for your birthday that one time and as such, she buys you some nonsense like Space Shuttle Project, and who fucking knows the next time you're going to get a new game. You play it, you learn its mysterious fucking ways, you develop stockholm syndrome and you throw the fucking controller in a fit of hatejoy when you finally beat it. And the next time osme poor sack of shit rolls it in the gauntlet, you look on like some digital guardian spirit and tell them the path lies befor ethem, if only they have the strength to walk it.

Play your fucking games.

Let's get this party started.

It's Zelda.

Whee.

It's Zelda.

But with medallions instead of triangles.

>>1616186

Looks fun. You know what I got last time I rolled TG16?

Fucking Night Stalker. Game cost me the run.

God damn Sinistron before that.

>>1615741
>"To defeat the Grumpasaurus, hit him until he dies."
Gee willikers! Now THAT clears things up! Yeah no thanks, that game was legitimately a rancid piece of shit. I don't care for difficulty, but I do care for quality.

Rerolling, but exams are up soon so I think I'll have to shelve whatever comes up until afterwards.

>Sugoro Quest

Huh. I already have this game almost beaten. It's pretty fun, wouldn't hurt to play through it again.

>>1616154
Oh man if you like Zelda you should have a good time. Loved that game.

>>1616310

Every fucking time. Someone tries to revive the Gauntlet, and almost immediately there are fucking barbarians at the gate, wailing and tearing at their hair because they rolled some bullshit. If you didn't want the risk of some poorly-coded pile, then you never wanted to run the gauntlet in the first place. Use s3krit's list to roll games if you want, but don't shit up a thread because you don't like the rules that are stated in the opening fucking post.

You're the same breed that rerolls later down the line by abusing the vr-minted one-step-back rule for failure. That's not a gauntlet. That's a fucking line dance you do until you happen to like the steps.

Just remember: small children can and did beat the game you threw the towel in on.

>>1616310
Loooool. Dude I watched my cousin beat this entire game in 2 days playing like a total of 8 hours. Yes with all the chars too.

It's not that hard man. Annoying at times but Jesus man learn your options.

>>1616306
A lot of people talk about games being Nintendo hard but I believe that the TG16 breaks people. That was the home of absurdly hard games and long as fuck RPGs.

But be damned if it wasn't one hell of a little system.

>>1616347

It's been the system that most routinely kills my runs. That and the occasional military flight sim form the DOS games.

>>1616347

Also, yeah, I agree. I don't find most Nintendo games hard. They just require a certain amount of time to get to know them. The only NES game to ever stop my run was Crystal Mines.

My god, /pol/ was right.

>>1616320
I'm having a pretty good time with this. The controls are nice and responsive, the graphics are fairly sharp, music is pretty good. There's a bit too much hand holding but definitely the best game I've played this run.

Four down and four to go. Time for a break, I'll finish this off tomorrow.

>>1616613
I know. It was a joke.

>>1614880
FINALLY beat him.

Now onto this mindfuck of a level

>>1616654
Oh God that background makes me dizzy just looking at it.

>>1616685
The mindfuck is more to do with the looped walls, i.e. go up top and you appear down bottom. And this while constantly inverting gravity.

This game is awesome but I think I'm gonna need a holiday after it.

The WR speedrun of it is pretty sick (I've only watched the levels I've already completed, as per the no assistance rule):

Aww neat, I already have this game on my hard drive since I love checking out fan translations. This will be great.

>>1610749
Well, shit fuck. Real life issues came up and I ended up too busy to think about the game. Guess I have to go back. Sorry, anon that was helping me out, I failed you.

I'm really worried about GBA, there's so much shovelware I might end up going back even further.


Also, the list at the start is messed up, it left out some of the alternate options like playing the Game Gear instead of the GB/GBC.

>>1617098
>Your game is "Jurassic Park III - The DNA Factor"! Now go play it

Fuck why.

>>1617110
>Because I hate you.

>>1617110
This is gonna suuuuck.

There are also apparently three separate GBA games based off Jurassic Park III.

>>1617180
Forgot image.

>>1617180
>>1617183
So, /vr/, should I play as Mark or Lori?

>>1604869
>lets take out luck of the draw!!
If you don't like it, pleb out and redraw. You wont discover new games if you prune out all the games you don't personally know as "good and worth playing".

>>1617189
Resident Evil taught me that playing as the girl is the easiest option.

So pick the guy instead. If you're going to suffer, go the whole nine yards.

>>1613798
Disheartening. The game is harder than I realized. I think I'll give it up for now and go for a game more comfortable for a complete weed such as I.

>>1617215
Alright, picked him, and...

This is gonna SUUUCK.

It's some kind of semi-isometric view but you can only jump left and right and, oh I need a minute.

>>1617082
I'm really enjoying this game. It's like Zelda with random battles, but you get a commandable buddy to help you out and an XP system.

>>1617224
I pulled it up and gave it a try myself. I'm so fucking sorry. This is pretty bad.

Rolling NES.

>Your game is "Mickey's Safari in Letterland"! Now go play it

OHHH BOY!

>>1617623
That's good reaction potential

Now I know my ABCs. Rolling for SNES.

First time playing, rolled ps1.

Hi o/ :3

Thank you, Based Dice

>>1617269

please tell me more about that emulator/filter.

Five down.

I wonder if the princess puts out. That'd be a nice change of pace.

hue

At first, I was reluctant to try go with the SNES, but I had the emulator, so I did with that and got this. This is my first time also, so I hope for a memorable experience, as I don't really try many new games anyways.

I got Conquest of the Crystal Palace. Never even fucking heard of it, but this looks like an RPG I could have fun with. See ya in a week faggots.

>>1619332
It's not an RPG, it's a platformer.

Though I guess you could say it has RPG-esque elements.

>>1618336
It's the overlay from Retro City Rampage, how he managed to use it on an emulator, I have no idea.

>>1619421
so, do i get 3 days or a week?
loving it so far. the art style is nice, the characters are funny (kim best waifu) and the music is very catchy

>>1619205
This game is unrelenting. Literally the 2nd mini boss was the hardest mini boss in the game so far and the hardest mini boss I've ever played against. This crap is dark souls on steroids. You miss once and you're over in that battle. The fourth mini boss was unrelenting and the fourth boss is extremely hard (moveset) with screen tilt, a large ranged jump kick that could kill you pretty easily, and a barrage attack. Hilariously, you would think a Disney game would be pretty easy, but NOPE! Not this one! The music's pretty good though, and I particularly love the second level's music though. Ideally, one weapon has stood out as the best: the hammer. No score thankfully, but there's coins, hearts, love potions (rare), and apples, so for me, my "score" would be pretty low because I had to continue so often. I'm about 2/3rds the way done with about 6 stages and I'm on the fourth. It's in glorious Nippon language, so I don't understand the plot. Here's a cute picture of Donald as a peak of the game (you can play as either Donald or Mickey). It's from the second level.

All eight pieces of the arbitrary powerful object are found and it's time to stab some big ol' bad guy.

Hey kids, it's Donte.

my roody poo candy ass is not ready

One dead bad guy. The bosses in this game really don't put up much of a fight.

And with that the adventure comes to a close. The world is safe and the princess is begging for some hot dickings (really, she does).

While it didn't bring anything new, even for its time, to the table, this was a pretty solid Zelda clone. I can't see myself every wanting to play it again but if you want a light action adventure that you don't have to stress your braincells on, I'd definitely recommend it.

Now to see what awful shareware abomination I'll be dealt in the realms of MS-DOS.

The fuck is this shit?

Oh, it's Asteriods.

Great.

Well that was easy.

Does this count as being done? There's no end to this, just highscores. I guess being on top counts.

>>1619727
Actually, that's unsatisfying.

Give me a score to beat.

>>1619727
It doesn't finish til you beat 50,000

>>1619641

What game is that pls

>>1619749
Neutopia for the TG-16.

>>1619736
Here you go. Stupid character limits.

>>1619205
>>1617718

You guys do realize you don't start with those systems, right? You start with the NES.

>>1619428
>>1618336
I think he's using Retroarch

Now for the land of four bright buttons and two joysticks.

This is the furthest I've ever gotten down the gauntlet and this little number is probably going to kill it.

>>1619785
Woops. I guess I didn't read well enough. Here's my new game. I'll resume the other one after this one.

>>1620146

>>1619431

3 days.

>>1620253
I hate the game already. So far, I'm hating the chalenge as both games I've gotten don't match my tastes and I feel no initiative to complete them. I will at least complete the two games though I guess.

>>1620313

Man, why are you even doing the gauntlet, then? Playing a wide variety of games from throughout retro history is pretty much the core concept. Also, you got a platformer and one of the all-time classic puzzle games. Those two genres alone are going to cover a lot of the gauntlet.

Break out the soggy pies and scarves, it's football season.

Quick question about arcade games, is there a credit limit or is freeplay allowed?

>>1621126

If it's an actual credits-per-coin setup, you get $3.00.

This would be easier if the swap player option picked the guy closest to the ball and not some chucklefuck off screen.

I give up.

The CPU is a cheating fucker who never gets a foul despite beating up half your team, the player you control randomly swaps even if you manually pick them and it never swaps to the one you need, the CPU goalie recovers from dives almost immediately while your goalie will lie on the floor for five seconds doing nothing and stealing the ball will result in you getting stunlocked by the other team an unable to pass or kick until you lose the ball.

I'm out. Fuck this game.

Goddamn. Crystal Mines is the only NES gamne to drop me, but this might be the second. For those who don't know: the final obstgacle course is basically a button-mashing nightmare, which wouldn't be so bad if a) the buttons you have to mash didn't change b) sometimes you don't mash and c) you often have to mash alternating buttons, so none of the usual tricks work.

Roollin'

okay.
