/vr/ - Retro Games

Currently accepting suggestions for a new image thread

Oh hey, new gauntlet thread! The last one did pretty darn well, hoping it'll keep going.

Managed to finish my NES game tonight, Bonk's Adventure. Was a decent game, I'm sure the TG16 game is better but this game looked nice and have some nice sound/music design. Just wish it had slightly better controls; there's a bit of momentum to movement, and it just doesn't feel right to me.

So, onto SNES. Not much time to play tonight, but I'll pick it.

>Your game is "Rap Jam: Volume One"! Now go play it

Oh great, that sounds VERY exciting. Guess it's a crappy beat 'em up or fighting game.

Rolling on the train.
BTW should we add more games? Someone I know asked for a more modern roster to be added.

what

this is kinda fun

Not as bad as I expected. A very comfy and simple little game. Your objective is to water all the flowers on the level to progress, and you are armed with a hammer you can use to control the direction of moving platforms and to stun enemies as they try to get you while watering each flower pot takes a few seconds. There's not much variety to the levels, but it just doesn't have enough time to become tedious: the game only has 18 stages and you can beat each in like a minute. Very relaxing.

>SNES
>The Twisted Tales of Spike McFang
Um...this is an RPG right? Might have to shelve it for a while in any case. Do I have to beat the game from the moment I roll, or the moment I start it?

>>1636220
The moment you start to play the clock starts.

>>1636151
>Someone I know asked for a more modern roster to be added.


>/vr/ gauntlet

Time for Gamegear. This is going to be awful.

>>1636251
I wouldn't mind seeing the Saturn added to the list.

>>1636220
Don't worry, it is a very short game and it is an ARPG. You can beat it in one or two afternoons

Let's do this.

I wish I knew how to play Gin.

I left off a long time ago (over a year) after beating Turbografx16. Should I pick up on DOS now, or start back at square one?

I am awful at this. I'll see if the RNG is nicer to me after a break.

>>1636343
The problem with Saturn is the poor emulation it has. Maybe that's why it's not added in the gaunlet

Well I have nothing to do all night. I'll give it a go.
>Your game is "Guantlet II"! Now go play it
Playing Gauntlet for the Gauntlet. Awesome.
I've never played Gauntlet II, played the first one a lot though. Time to get started.

BUMP

A GOOD GAME? This generator is broken

>>1640076
Oh how i missed you

>>1640086
Welll that wasent hard

>>1640092
Dammit

SNES has 8 channels for audio. Are these channels monophonic? I figure they are but I was hoping it'd be like a MIDI channel.

>>1636220
Oh shit, I remember that game. That was pretty sweet. Nintendo Power did a glowing review of it and I played it a couple years ago. There was some tricky bits you probably won't get to that were in the hints section a couple issues later.

BUMP

And there we have it.

The biggest problem this game has is the computer frequently ignoring your melds and claiming you don't have a playable hand. Besides that, it's fairly well put together. If you want to play Gin, get friends. If you don't have friends then be happy because Gin is a piece of a shit i swear fucking card games who comes up with this shit just play 52 pickup instead

Genesis time.

oh for fuck sake

Aw yee

>>1641585

oh

oh god

I'm regretting this already

>>1641598
I'd regret that aspect ratio too.

>>1641598
I feel ya, i bailed out on this game. Just reroll. Save yourself

Rolled Felix the cat

>I sleep in a racing Car!

>>1641674

and first boss down

Felix laughs in the face of danger

>>1641674
>>1641695
pls tell me you're not actually playing in that aspect ratio

I got Ninja Gaiden II, but I beat it in december last year so it shouldn't take me long, do I reroll or just do it quick and go to SNES?

>>1641706

I am. Deals with it


Tank might be slightly OP. 2nd boss never got within 4 feet of me

>>1641719
>I am. Deals with it
Why? What the hell is wrong with you? Why do you enjoy eating shit?

I just can't comprehend why someone who willingly play like that.

>>1641723

He probably doesn't even know how.

It's the exact same kind of people that call you an autistic nerd for checking bitrates when downloading movies.

>Wow! A 500MB 1080p movie! Why aren't they all this size?!

>>1641713
I'm a little rusty it seems, I'm having some trouble with 4-2. It'll probably take a while.

>>1641723
>>1641751

the fact that it annoys you this much makes it even better

>>1641781
Fuck me, now I'm having trouble with 5-2.

>>1641801
All right, I'm in 7-2, hopefully I can get the ending screenshot soon.

>>1641570
Okay, turns out I can't actually play this game because it doesn't exist. Turns out it got cancelled before release and I can't find a dump of it.

Rerolled. Time to break shit.

I remember these toys being hot shit at the start of the 90s, then rapidly faded away into obscurity.

A cash in game for a cashed out franchise. Neat.

Megaman 3. Eh, I only just played through this last winter.

I pity any kid that got this game.

There's too much momentum in your movement and too much precision platforming for this to be enjoyable, enemies and hazards will spawn right on top of you and their muddy sprites blend into the background and the music is practically non existent.

Back to the dreaded TG-16. I smell misery.

>>1642226
that game was so shit
my friend gave it to me as a present kek

aiiight den

>>1642797
NES or SNES? I have the SNES one, and god yes, it can get infuriating.

>>1642797
I have fond memories of playing the crash test dummies on the megadrive as a kid but revisiting it recently was very underwhelming.

>>1643107
Awesome game

And so it begins

>>1636629 Here.

Decided that I had come too far to start over.

-Your game is "Harrier Jump Jet"! Now go play it-

Time to find out what this random game is.

Im okay with this

holy shit this is still a thing?
I remember the good ol' days... getting kicked off /v/ and then meandering around in /vg/
I might have to do this again.

It begins.

It ends.

This is going to take some time.

Haven't seen one of these threads in a while. It's been about a year since my last gauntlet experience, but I decided to try to make my way through the whole thing this year starting June 1st regardless of whether or not there was a thread going. I may get a head start on it though... Maybe.

I still have my medal collection from the first run of the gauntlet way back when it was on /v/ (about 2 years ago I think).

>>1644312
Alright, we're doing this!

>Roll Drgaon Scroll - Resurrection of the Demon Dragon
>Check the list on the wiki... It hasn't been beaten
>Go to vimm to download the game... "Huh, the link's already been clicked.."
>Ohshitfuck not this game!!

I got it on my last gauntlet and couldn't defeat it, even in a week (it's arguably an extended rpg). It's a translated rom, and there are a lot of shitty translations that make no sense. The game is pretty similar to Castlevania 2, so all the information from NPCs is crucial to beat the game.

...I think I'm cursed to finish this game. Fuck.

>>1644401
I don't think anyone updates the beaten games on the wiki anymore.

>>1644416
Probably not. I was just checking in case there was a high score. And I'll still update it with the games I beat, even if it is pointless.

Apparently it's not going to take any time at all because there's a limit of about an hour to beat this fucker in.

Playing safe is not an option here.

>>1642576
Day 1 of the /vr/ gauntlet. Defeated all 8 robot masters. Good progress, but there will still be the Wily robots to beat, which was for me the hardest part of the game last time.

>>1644638
Also, a minor but perhaps interesting fact I just discovered today is that when you enter a room where you meet Protoman to fight him, if you immediately pause the game you can hear the whole tune play twice instead of just the first five notes.

Hopefully I can actually complete a NES game for once

>>1636012
Hey all, I've' been gone for a bit and I'd like to give an update.

I did indeed try playing Rap Jam: Volume One. Not a beat 'em up or fighting game, but it was my third though: a basketball game featuring rap stars. It was awful: it was hard to see things, the frame rate was awful, and you can't even select other players to control on your team (3v3). I just...couldn't stand trying to do its championship mode.

So I let it slip through the 3-day period, and before going to bed I picked a new NES game: Dr. Chaos. I've seen this game before, and it's...interesting. I'm not saying it's good, but having a sidescroller and first-person adventure combined is something I've only seen in one other game - Goonies 2. Except that did it a lot better.

Pictured is the first boss, which is pathetic. It went down in about 5 slashes from my knife. I picked up a device that blinks in the 1st person mode when I'm facing the right way in the right room to find the portal to a (not necessarily next) level, as well as the first part of a gun I'm supposed to be assembling (seen in the right part of the hud).

I'll probably put up a few more pics to show a bit how this game works.

>>1642576
Today I finished Mega Man 3. As expected, a few of the Wily robots were pretty tough. Rush Jet was a godsend with the Wood Man clone.
By the end, however, the game got too easy. The fortress levels just throw e-tanks at you like there's no tomorrow, and the bosses aren't hard enough to need them all.
Also, Dr. Light was really hyping up the final boss, essentially saying it's like the nuclear bomb or something, when it's first phase is basically just a regular enemy! You can just stand still and the thing won't hit you. The second phase is a bit trickier, but still, you'd probably have at least 8 e-tanks anyway.

>>1646372
Here's the final scene of the game. Note Wily's ship on top of the tree, setting up the next 13 or so sequels.

>>1635830
I gave up on Total Recall and couldn't play Gotcha - The Sport!, and then passed on Contra because I've played it and finished it enough. Now I rolled and I got this game.

Is it weird that I have an actual cartridge copy of this shit?

>>1645360
Adventure Island can be tough. Good luck.

>>1646372
you do know you can 1-shot phase 2 with a single use of the Top Spin weapon?

>>1646401
Yeah, but my timing with it isn't great.

>>1646409
you get the hang of it if you use it on shadow man.

>>1640101
I failed Kid Icarus due to time constraints so i gotta reroll.

Next game is... Sqoon? Never heard of this game

>>1646468
Uhhh....wat.

So it seems like a high score game. Has anyone done this before?

also
>dem nips

>>1635830

is that fucking piccolo coming out of the left corridor????

>>1646487
I played a bit of it and its a shmup. 20 points a kill it seems.

I think 10,000 would be a good score to get

>>1646507
oK I realized how easy points can be get. I will raise it to 25,000

>>1646513
VICTORY

The game is kinda hard. You only have 60 seconds before your submarine crashes and you have to refuel buy putting slow as fuck hostages in the airboat. And enemies keep flying from nowhere.

>>1646567
Tomorrow i will start Spiderman for the SNES.

>>1643143

It's good to know that s3krit's algorithm is still busted somehow. And don't you fuckihg cite the birthday paradox, you fucker, because this is working with a much larger set AND people tend to misunderstand it.

>>1644195

Oh, hey, it's the game that ended my last run. Have fun with what is arguably the worst game on the TG-16.

>>1646487

Son, that game has an ending.

After a lot of trial, error and note taking, this piece of shit is in the bag.

This game is awful. Pure fucking awful. The controls are garbage, the hit detection is all over the place, the level progression makes no sense, the game throws so many enemies at you it breaks the sprite limit leaving you to get stunlocked by invisible enemies, it's bad, bad, bad.

If anyone manages to roll Night Creatures for the TG-16 in future, just skip it. It's not worth your time.

On to DOS and...

...oh my.

Do I get six days for this?

>>1647351
I'd say re-roll, or pick a Crusader game, because you could just have easily gotten some other massive compilation title.

The fuck is this game?

Alright, let's do this.

Your game is "Astro Fang Super Machine"! Now go play it
Famicom game I've never heard of currently not on my WiiMednafen so Reroll

Your game is "Addams Family"! Now go play it
Jesus, I love the 16 bit title and own it but I could never handle more than a few minutes of this on NES, oh well. Giving it a go...

nes = dun B)))

This is where I realized this game is not for my tastes. I have to say, it goddamn sucks. I can't play it, at all. Oh well, time for the SNES game.

>>1647387
That's not how it works son.

>>1647387
woah woah woah you can't just move to snes m8, (but you can keep rolling till you get a decent game, just don't tell anyone)

>>1647378
It's only two games. Besides, I kinda wanted to play these back in the day and what better way to finally experience them than by rushing through in a timed challenge.

>>1646487
>>1646567
>>1646578

Not winrar man.

You need to reach to the ending, because it have an ending.

>Your game is "Bandit Kings of Ancient China"! Now go play it
I hope this is fun.

Let's get this party started.

>>1648407
I looked it up and noticed that.

Fuuuuck

Oh, horrible FMV. How I've missed you.

>>1648532
Oh i noticed somthing. If you go by the top of the church, it gives you a 1up

>>1648541
>>1648541
Fuck these enemies. They have a fast speed flying in and a wierd curve in there movement patterns

Okay /vr/, how bad is this game really?

>>1646148
Alright, still working on Dr. Chaos and going strong. Have 6 of the parts of the gun you need (5 shown in the screenshots), and have also got a diving helmet (can go underwater without losing health) and jump boots (can jump almost the height of the whole screen). The latter has been REALLY useful with these large batlike enemies that only drop down to the bottom of the screen once in a while. Also got a few e-tanks, which is helpful in getting through things but tedious to pick up health for. But honestly, this game isn't terrible. Not great, but not terrible. Definitely know I'm going to finish.

Pictured is the 1st person exploration mode where you get to stock up on items and find the warps to the levels. This is entering my 6th level.

>>1648737
VERY VERY BAD.

Its cryptic and bullshit

Reroll it

God help me

this AI is the reincarnation of Rain Man

>>1648831

PART OF THE WORD HASNT EVEN BEEN SHOWN

>>1648553
OK I HAD IT

I tried and my lord this is tough. You need firepower but you have to collect humans with your submarine that has 60 seconds to live (unless you grab a powerup) and if you shoot crabs you can get gold to bring to the surface but the gold turns back to a crab in under a second which REALLY pisses me off and it kills me half the time because im in a rush to get fuel so my submarine dosent crash but even then enemies are too quick to react too sometimes and you die die and die some more.

I am NOT playing this game ever again, its pure rage fuel

Rerolling

>two hours for one level

I've made a huge mistake.

>>1648848

Pat.....Anklsun?

>>1648851
Blaster master shouldn't bee all THAT hard. I loved this game

>>1648852
Is it justa coincidence that looks like the vault 101 cafeteria?

>>1648848
I would've thought Fashion Tiget.

>>1648858
You mean is it a coincidence that the vault 101 cafeteria looks like that?

Crusader came out two years before Fallout.

>>1648865
Of course. I thought it might have been a user created map.

>>1648857

Good luck with the area 5 boss, then.

I have no idea

I have one more guess and if I get it wrong, I know the computer is going to guess it

>>1648871

I stand corrected.

even the computer couldnt figure out what the hell that was

NO

THAT IS NOT OK

THIS IS BULLSHIT

Fuck you, game

Only giving me 35 seconds and putting me against psychic AI, this counts as a win

on to SNES

TIME TO REJOIN MY BRETHREN IN GAUNTLET~Y....ness.
>Hollywood Squares
Well we're off to a fine start...
Unrelated question, as I forgot the answer to this long ago.
What should happen if one rolls a game they previously beat in a former gauntlet?

>>1648916
Reroll and don't tell anyone.

>>1648916
Christ
This game is stupid.
And easy.
>The computer's response to the noah's ark question was "Barbara Walters"

>>1648928
Too bad this game has no difficulty slider.
It could have used one.
The CPU didn't get a single fucking question right.
Rob is robtarded.

That was singularly the easiest NES run I have ever done.
I am afraid... very afraid...

>>1648913

the game is Pop'n TwinBee - Rainbow Bell Adventures

I dont know what the hell I am, but I can run sanic fast, shoot a giant gun, and fly like superman

Get hype

>>1643143
Finally, that game was so awful I can't bear to stare at those cars for another second.
On to the SNES!

>Your game is "Dragon Ball Z : Legend of the Super Saiyan"! Now go play it
really
really?
oh shit this better not be a crap-ass fighting game

>>1648743
Alright, I'm at the final level, I have all my e-tank things filled, a ton of ammo, and that final gun all assembled. Don't think it's gonna be a big hassle to finish this.

>>1648983
>Your game is "Earthbound"! Now go play it
I've been meaning to get around to this game so this will be fun

>>1649017
>ohshit it's an RPG
>A DRAGON BALL Z RPG
jesus christ what have I undertaken...
Also... does anyone here NOT know what Dragon Ball or Dragon Ball Z is?
Or am I going to have to explain the whole backstory here?
also, dat world map music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr2Ez_BsURE

>>1649048
You can safely assume most people know what DBZ is.

A heads up: Death is permanent.

>>1649048
>wtf is up with their Ki
>goddamn I accidentally translated the hacked version
aaaaand fixed
oops

>>1649048

i love this game. first thing...get the gohan card from mr popo...THEN fight raditz and makanposappo him AFTER you use the gohan card and cracked his armor and goku half-nelsons him.

>>1649048
I know what Buttlord GT is.

That's kinda the same thing, right?

>>1649057
that is exactly the same
dbz is a derivative of it

Starting off with NES. H-here I go.

I hope this is fun.

>>1635830
>Start at NES
Eww nintendo shit, no thanks.
Ill start at Megadrive.

>Krillin : "I'd help you guys, but I am not strong enough"

Fuck you Krillin you lazy bastard get off your ass

>>1649061
You're in luck, Rampart is great.

>>1649062
>coolspot goes to hollywood
Naw that game is shit had it when i was younger, rerollan.

>>1649025
And I did it. The final boss was pathetic, some form of lion that shot fireballs out of its mouth that do a lot of damage, but it's easy to finish the boss off before you're in danger of dying. So yay, 2nd NES attempt in the last couple of threads completed! It was pretty decent for a Pony Canyon game, most of their stuff was pretty darn awful, but this had a bit of charm.

So, time to select an SNES game. Hopefully something I'll try bothering to play.

> Your game is "Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!"! Now go play it

Oh hey, I think that's something I can easily bother to play! Thing is, I don't think it's easily doable in 3 weeknights...thinking of starting when either Thursday or Friday rolls around again. DKC1 I could rush, maybe DKC2, but DKC3 I've never actually played before. Not sure what to expect time and difficulty wise

>>1649082
Forgot to post pic of ending. Doesn't feel right without me doing that.

>>1649075
Comix zone it is

This is interesting.
I shall have to grind a bit to figure out how the cards relate to...everything.
I assume the Dragon Ball numeration is a power or effectiveness level.
And I some of the symbols correspond to symbols Goku and Piccolo have...
And the blue card allows for Ki attacks.
I kinda dig this system.

>>1649090
http://shrines.rpgclassics.com/snes/dbzlotss/cards.shtml

You would find this in a manual so looking this up is kosher.

>>1648831

>>1649107
much obliged

>>1649085
I'm not sure how I feel about Dr. Chaos. It has some neat ideas, but none of them are executed that well.

Also, the game can legitimately get me to jump when searching those rooms.

hoo boy, time to dance with radishes in the garden

Let's see if my little grind to level 3 paid off, I got nearly 600 battle power for both Goku and Piccolo
Perhaps together they can prevail over the angry salad bar
>also... trapped chests? fuck you game

>>1649136
>it was a fake, a Saibaman pretending to be Raditz
oh god
oh fuck
nooooo
I thought I had a chance!

>>1649136

do you have the Gohan card from Mr Popo, g?

>>1649147
yeah
I forgot to use it the first time, I was raging high on kamehamehas

NES: Akira
For a moment I was pretty psyched about playing an Akira game.... but it turned out to be just a boring point-and-click adventure. Really?! The Intro cutscenes look pretty sweet, though

Oh I get it now
You use the Gohan card, that summons the kid and he headbutts Raditz.
Which then allows Goku to enact Wrestlemania on him.
And then you shoot him with the Makkan..makansap.... SPECIAL BEAM CANNON

I wonder if all the boss fights will be this complicated.

Oh you fuckers
This is going to be one of those games where they dangle Goku occasionally in front of you but you spend 80% of the game as Gohan doing ADVENTURRRRES isn't it?

>>1649169

Depends on how many people "die" at vegata/nappa.

I like Tien so i was happy i could use him and yamcha and my boy Chiatzu in Namek instead of just lame gohan and krillen like on the show

>>1649205
Someone said death is permanent earlier.
So that means if nobody dies...
do I get to take the survivors to Namek?
Either way I better tread carefully in this fight...
Also I made giant mosaic to limit screenshots.

>>1649215
Yes, any survivors will go with you to Namek.

>>1649215
There are a few other things that can open up that go outside the original story, like Super Gohan and a bonus fight with Super Vegeta

>>1649218
>>1649227

fucking a

>>1649215
You might also want to be careful VS Captain Ginyu. If he body swaps with someone and then you defeat him, you lose that party member permanently. Of course, then you have Captain Ginyu and his bodyswap power.
Which can lead to some fun down the line.

Good thing I spent all my cash on healing items.
I think I might actually defeat Nappa before Goku arrives.

>have to fight Vegeta alone
>every few turns it switches to Gohan and Co.
>maybe if I can make to to Goku...
>Why would I do that, everyone else has 1/10th the goddamn BP of Vegeta.
>my only hope is the Spirit Bomb...?
>But Jesus Christ if it misses...

Also "Finalbuster" ? the fuck?

Yes, I edited it a wee bit to make it look sort of like they were doing that clash thing from the show, I am only doing this for your entertainment you know

>>1649290

if you beat KingKai faster Gokuu comes at the start of the nappa fight....but you seemed to beat that easy so that's neither here nor there.

i rmemeber Goku being south east of gohan but i might be wrong.

there's a lot of gimmicky stuff that might or might not happen in this fight. including Vegeta going Oozaru...or both gohan and vegeta going oozaru....and i tihnk if vegta goes oozaru you can cut his tail off with the yajorobi card,

This game is starting to give me a headache. Not content with keeping with the dodgy movement and collision issues that Ultima 8 had, it decided to employ a control scheme that makes System Shock 1 look intuitive.

I might do what Anon said earlier and just finish this one game because unless No Regret fixes a lot of the problems with this, I really can't see me stomaching two bouts of this in a row.

The music is pretty good, I'll give it that.

>>1649390

....also. consult a world map somewhere when you get to namek...because there's no real landmarks to situate yerself...it all looks the friggin same

Starting, seems like a pretty cool shmup from the screenshots.

>>1649530
Whoops.

>>1649532
It appears that I have stumbled across a collection of robot anuses.

Aw yah, boss time

Punch him once and then jump on or over him while he's in rage mode, rinse and repeat

Your game is "Mighty Final Fight"! Now go play it

Pinche juego culero.

>>1650310

2 down

this one has annoying hitbox the first time you have to jump over him. Its on a slope, so I dont know if there's a way to actually get the right without running into him

>>1650331
The bosses are a bit of a pain but nothing too challenging. Onto Round 4 now.

>>1650402
I wish I understood the controls better; I keep doing special moves at random and don't know how I'm doing it

>>1650370

finally found the damn exit

water physics are weird. Soon as you jump into water you sink like a stone. Which makes sense because you're heavy ,but it feels...too heavy

Hm, it's a Color Dreams game. I don't know if I like that...
Let's see if it's unbearable or not.

>>1650615
Aaand it's a space shooter. It's actually quite fun, once you have figured out that THIS is not the main game.

why 4...god fucking dammit, I hate 4 almost as much as 2.

oh well, doing it via console

>>1635830
First time doing this I got "Soccer" I think the game was meant to be played as a vs game since the AI is atrocius and it's pretty easy game.
Not that much different from FIFA games funnily enough the basics are still there.
I have no idea how to win this so I just got a score of 9-0 hopefully that's enough to move on to SNES.

>>1650769
SNES game is front mission let's what it's all about.

>>1635830
OP how did you make this image? It is rad and I want to make a similar one

>>1635836
Has anyone made one yet?

>>1650769
NES is pretty hit or miss for AI actually.
Either it's so bad the computer actively shoots itself in the foot like in >>1648928

Or its... Nintendo Hard, actually.

LAST TIME ON DRAGON BALL Z :
In an startling upset, Goku has defeated Vegeta with a spectacular Spirit Bomb, working for once in its goddamn life.

Hearing that there are more Dragon Balls on Piccolo's home planet Namek our young heroes go on ahead whole Goku recuperates from his injuries.

Moments after arriving on Namek, our heroes spot a couple of Saiyan space pods landing nearby...
What could this mean? Could Vegeta have recovered himself so quickly?
Or is a sigh of more troubling clouds on the horizon...

>>1650412
This guy sucks

OP here

>>1650874
It isn't my thread pic sadly. I do some sprite work, but i'm too busy yo made a new and fresh one, that's why I'm asking for sugggestions.
>>1650880
Anyone has submitted anything yet. You can made one if you can, and it will be voted

>>1649061
Well, looks like I'm rerolling. It was pretty fun I have to say, and I tried beating this yesterday, but I am just way too shitty at this, and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be able to beat it. I'll check out some of the other versions of this game as well.

Time to reroll.

The name sounds fun enough.

>>1651271
HERE WE GO.

>>1651285
what the fuck

>>1651323
I don't need more enemies, make it stop

>>1651323
Shouldn't have been greedy bitch.

>>1651323
for references, go Watch Myghty Bomb Jack's episode of Game Center CX, you'll learn A LOT

Damn Saiyans...
I figured I'd grind a dozen or so levels out cause there was an Inn nearby on Namek.
Gohan started out the 2nd weakest, now he's eclipsed fucking everyone.
I wonder if I should just keep grinding...

>>1650782
So the game seems like a Mech related turn based strategy.

>>1650905
I know what you mean I tried some games before that and I was getting my ass handed to me.

>>1652534
Oh shit nigga you are in for some fucking good times

So we discovered Freeza and his men terrorizing a small village.
But we managed to save one in the nick of time.
His name is Dende, but he prefers to be called Little Green.
This made me do a little chase mini-game where Dodoria shoots crap at me while I fly about.
After that, we started looking for the Dragon Balls in earnest.

>>1651326
Jesus fuck, this game is hard. Barely got to level 8 of 16. Three lives for this is kind of pushing it. At least I still have two days, and it's fun.

>>1653480
I had the Gameboy version of this.
I remember being impressed that the title music goes on for nearly 4 minutes without looping.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1muevhxCsY
I fucking loved that game, I had no idea this was also for the NES.

>>1653002
Fucking Dodoria blew up my ship.
Also found another little green guy, and two other fighter dudes.
But they are weak as shit so I don't care about theme.

>>1653556
You should care about them. You'll get the option to fuse them with Piccolo later, and he'll be all the stronger if you don't let those guys die.

Also, when you get a Vegeta card, use it. You'll get him in your party.

>>1653685
Oh, they left the party after I beat Dodoria.
Still have that Emi kid with me though, and now a Fairy has told me to go find switches in a cave so we can find Guru.

>>1653721
Shit, I didn't even need to grind.
The encounter rate is absurd in this game.
Getting lost so many times put me in the 40's for level.

Jesus Christ
The enemies are giving me 1500 exp a battle now.
I only need 10000 to level up once.
I got everyone to level 47 now and we're jobbing the entire Freeza force.

Mission Abort! Return to base! Serously, I've been playing Jungle Strike for the SNES, and I'm wondering how am I supposed to do flawless timing and aiming in a jet plane that I can barely control? This thing moves so fast you hardly have enough time to see whats in front of you to avoid crashing into it, let alone shoot it. Think I'll just go back to the NES. It's too late to finish this in three days.

>>1653910
The game up to this point has been decent enough. Most of it involves flying around your Comanche helicopter and doing missions, usually of the "blow stuff up" or " search and rescue" variety. Do all the missions in the level, and you can progress to the next one. Each level that I did get to see had a unique touch to it, enriching the experience. Not much music, though.

You are equipped with a chaingun, Hydra rockets, and Hellfire missiles. You have a depleting supply of fuel. Scattered throughout the level are items that will replenish your stock, but they are limited resources, so you have to do some planning.

>Ginyu Force show up
>they get raped
>Goku shows up
>Somehow gets hit with body change
god damn you
And then we summoned Porunga.
Looks like I am getting nearer and nearer to the finish...

>>1653931
When your armor is depleted to zero or you run out of fuel, you crash and lose a life, starting right back up where you lost your life. Failing a mission results in you having to go back to base and start all missions in the level over again. In fact, nearly everything is started over. Everything is restored to when you started the level, only you start with the amount of lives you had when you failed the previously mentioned mission. So, failing a mission is a bigger penalty then getting a game over. At least with me, game overs happened much more frequently. Also, there are a couple parts of the game that require unusual solutions, such as shooting something you would not expect to have to shoot to get some game mechanic to work.

>Goku's power level is 7.5 million with a Guru card power up
oh yiss indeedy
Killed him, and he didn't even get to 100% power.

Of course.
Nothing's ever simple is it?

At any rate. I have finished this game.
It was shorter than I thought it would be.

So I'm playing Noah's Ark, and wouldn't you know that there's a whole other set of animals to rescue after the first set?

Also, this isn't the worst NES game I've ever played. It may have weak controls, but it has okay graphics even for a '91 title, and it's playable. Also, the animals don't take too long to actually round up, so that's a plus.

I don't think I'm going to be able to finish this in time. It's not impossible to play and I'm guessing it can easily be completed with enough dedication but it's got problems out the bunghole.

The levels are absurdly long, the layouts make no sense and they're not fun to play through. Combat is a chore, even with the aiming reticule trying to line up a shot is cumbersome. The visuals are cluttered as hell, important switches and keycards blend into the surroundings. The majority of your tacti-cool moves like sidestep, roll and even running are useless. Grid based movement in a real time action game is just a horrendously poor design choice. I expected much better from Origin but this is not something I can recommend. However, I will finish it one day for completion sake and also because I dropped ten bucks on both games on GoG.

Time for a few days break and then back to NES I go.

>>1654372
My buddy bought the game and we played it for the first time last week. I agree that it's hard to get used to the controls, and the levels are absurdly long, but I still find myself enjoying the game. I wish I had a full-sized keyboard so I could try all the input systems they designed, but I manage well enough with just arrows and ctrl-alt-shift.

I have no idea if I can ever beat level 2 though. We started it after the 4 hours it took to clear level 1, and could barely make any progress. Good luck to you on your quest to beat it.

>>1654501
I actually find a combination of numpad for absolute movement and arrow keys for aiming works pretty well.

But yeah the levels drag on like crazy. The first one took me two hours to get through. Eggmanland in Sonic Unleashed didn't take me that long.

>>1649290
>every few turns it switches to Gohan and Co.
Every time it happens you fight some loosers and pick up the best cards for Goku ie, blue energy attack cards and other cards with high attack/block score. That is the point of these fillers. Hoard the best cards for boss fights. That is my advice.

>>1652102
Not really. Save your Vegeta card for the fat pink guy from Freezas team. After that you wont need to grind until you meet that one Namekian with 40 K BP. Once you have him on your team, you can grind freely. Remember that Namekian King will give you 6 Level powerup, so it's a wise move to grind before meeting him.

>>1654672
I went to the item shop, it was so silly how that worked.
>>1654678
I actually forgot about the Vegeta card until after Vegeta joined my team.
And after that it went away.
I wasn't even trying to grind at that point anymore.
The normal encounter rate made me hit the level cap.
Which is apparently 48 for Gohan and friends, 47 for Vegeta and Piccolo.

>Your game is "Pokemon Crystal"! now go play it
no
no no no
not another rpg dammit
this is gonna take me days to finish...

I confess.

I have started one game here and stopped it like 2 days after. Not much time for vidya and it was getting stupid because the difficulty curve was completely fucking weird and it was 60% easy and suddenly hard as my cock when I think of Yvonne Strahovski.

For the record I have only ever played the Blue version of pokeymans years ago and a bit of Platinum slightly fewer years ago.
For the sake of simplicity I named myself "Crystal"
I'll let you guys decide what to pick right off the bat, as well as any other suggestions for strategies or fun shit to do.
Though based simply on looks, Cyndaquil is the cutest fucking thing ever.

>>1655141
Cyndaquil for your safety

All right, Cyndaquil it is.
I wonder, should I give nicknames to everything?
Or just default it the whole way?

I named my Cyndaquil "Delicious", I don't know why it just struck me as such.

I was actually kinda hype for this whole "pokemon mystery and sudden thievery" plot.
But then that went all back burner for the whole "oh hey why don't you enter the professional cockfighting circuit?" scheme that all professors hedge onto every 10 year old they find.

>Cyndaquil evolves at level 14
wow, I figured at least 16...
also I found a wee bear thing, it is adorable. I named it T. Ruxpin

Welp, this worked out in my favor. Do I need a name to differentiate or should I just stay anon?

>>1655534

Traditionally it's Name: Game without a trip, but hardly necessary. Helps keep track of your run.

>>1655534
Whichever you think is best really.

>>1655141
Cyndaquil is easy mode. If you want to put some serious effort into things (read: breeding) then you can get a chikorita with swords dance and/or leech seed. Totodile is silly in gen 2, because water type yet high attack, low special attack.

>>1655070
You would think so right? Lol no, its the easiest gen in the series. 10 hours tops even beating the second quest.

>>1655585
>>1655592

It has been pretty easy so far.
I was taking my time exploring and keeping everyone's level the same so far.
Though I greatly overestimated what level I would need for the first gym.
I am still mostly in awe of how good the music is in this game.
I just now realized I named a girl bear Teddy Ruxpin, doh.

>>1655601
Well you can say it's Theresa ruxpin, considering it's "T. Ruxpin"

Whoa cool.
It got dark in game, and most of the encounters changed.
That's pretty good for an old game like this.
I found a duck in the woods after getting the 2nd badge. It has eerie psychic powers....

JESUS CHRIST IT'S A LION?

>>1655914
That's one of the three legendary beasts. They randomly wander the Johto region and run away immediately, they're very difficult to catch but are worth getting.

>>1655923
Well, I threw a Great Ball at him for the hell of it.
Got to 3 jiggles even, just to fuck with me.
Then he ran off...
Though that means if I chase him around long enough I might get luck right off the bat...(nah)

I'm trying now only to post when important milestone shit happens but FUCKING HELL ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

>>1655979
Jesus don't you have all the luck.

>>1655979
HAHAHA HOLY SHIT

>>1655980
No.
That would have been at this point here.
>Throw Great Ball
>It works
>lol wut

Though I wouldn't really call it luck.
Even if it IS level 40 I don't need a 2nd fire type pokeymans.
Bah, if only that had worked on the yellow one...

>>1655998
You mother fucker.

>>1656012
>>1655998
The especially hilarious thing is how entei is the worst of the three. (Suicune, the only one you didn't encounter, is usually considered to be the best, at least in gen 2.)

>>1656037
He's playing Crystal, he can't miss Suicune.

>>1656049
Well that is moderately good news.
I won't replace my starters type with anything, but I think Suicune's a water type?
My only water type atm is Psyduck so that's good.

>Totally Rad
Sounds kinda fun.

>>1655534
Well that was surprisingly easy. Gonna get my next title then sleep because I got work in the morning.

>>1656086
This sounds like a shmup. Oh dear. Well I'll figure it out tomorrow. Night folks.

This is actually a really neat idea, wish I saw this earlier. Haven't played too many retro games outside of psx/n64, so the NES should be a good start
>Renegade
idk this game but at least the title looks nice lmao

>>1656105
Update: fuck this game

>hurray! I got HM02 (Fly)
>I have no birds
Well shit, I have a Golbat now, I am sure it can...
>Golbat cannot learn Fly
fffffuck, I guess it is back into the tentacle-infested water...

Dammit, I don't know who to give up for a flying type.
My current party is :
Sandslash (has Strength and Cut)
Psyduck (has Surf)
Teddiursa (has Rock Smash)
Quilava
Gloom
Haunter
I'm not sure who to kick off the team, they all have uses.

>>1656129
You could probably kick gloom off the team I guess? I mean whenever I play Pokemon, I just use one/two pokemon and train them all day. The others are just HM slaves I guess.

>>1656132
Yeah, I don't really need to use Gloom at the moment.
Not until I get me a Leaf or a Sun Stone anyway.

>>1656136
Do you really need him at all though? idk i think last time I played I just went with the water starter since he has a strong normal + water + dark? 3 way good combo I guess.

Either way, I'd suggest to drop 2 of the weakest links on team and just get hm slaves.

Does anyone know if bsnes can accelerate/fastforward games more than what it currently can.
Because currently playing a game where it's enjoyable but far too slow and I just wanted to make it faster, the fast forward button only increases speed by something silly like 1.5 times.

>>1656090
Turns out it's not a shmup,. Also, this first boss looks a little familiar. Not necessarily a bad game, just kind of generic. Has some vehicle sections to break up the monotony but the controls are a bit wonky so I prefer ground combat anyway.

Second, The gun's sound effects drown out the music, but the music is pretty bland so far so I don't mind.

>>1657030
First boss was probably one of the easiest bosses I have ever fought in any game ever. Also, I think the game's A.I. is borked. Only yellow soldiers shoot at me, and then there's the "run at the well armed man with a gun with a knife" guys, but other than that all of the enemies have just stood in place, not even firing a shot save once, and that guy shot in a completely opposite direction from me.Second boss was also piss easy and the hero looks like a dweeb.

This game has gone from "harmless but bland" to "hilariously unfinished" over the course of a single level. I'm beginning to enjoy myself a little more.

>>1657058
That was the shortest game I have played in a long, long time. Final level was actually sort of challenging, and the boss actually put up a fight. Only 5 or 6 stages, all less than 5 minutes long, I swear.

Still the broken A.I. was pretty funny.

And I played single player, why is it referring to me in the plural sense?

Anyways, going to get next game and then do some errands.

>>1657078
how many hours did you put into it?

>>1657078
about 45 minutes, if the time it took to make my posts were added. probably somewhere between a half hour and 35 minutes of straight game-play.

Although I should be careful what I say. I think I'm about to break my record. and my spirit. If it's beatable. Fuck me for hoping for a zelda or pokemon game, right?

>>1657102
jesus

godspeed

>>1657102
In the interest of getting this over with as quickly as possible, I already started the game. What I thought was the stages leading up to some kind of boss were actually the only stages. Elmo does a dance, credits roll, and I thank the god that made this game so short. Rollan for gamegear.

>>1657126
YES. PLEASE DON'T BE A BUTCHERED PORT.
Anyways, I'm gonna do those errands. I'll be back in a few hours.

>>1657130
Game Gear Sonic 2 isn't a port at all, it's an entirely different game

>>1657130
Prepare to lose. A lot.

The Sonic games for GG/SMS are completely different, and the GG games can be quite tough.

>>1655141
This made me think of something.

Are hacks like Crystal Emu Edition, which don't make the game easier but just let you complete the game 100% on an emulator, allowed in the Gauntlet?

>>1657148

No, hacks, patches and retranslations are not permitted.

Sonic 1 and 2 for the Game Gear are ports of the Master System versions.

However the reduced viewing area of the Game Gear screen makes them EXTREMELY difficult. The first boss of Sonic 2 GG is notoriously difficult because you have barely any room to see incoming attacks.

I got "stinger" for the NES. Never heard of it. Rail-shooter I guess, here goes.

>>1657156
Well, I assumed so.
Unless one of the games you rolled isn't a proper NA release and only has a fan-translation (there are a few scattered about the lists).

Alright got my list and emus together and I'm heading out bros

Looks like Ikari Warriors is first, wish me luck

>>1657210
god
>>1657290
speed

I realized I rolled for Renegades a couple days ago so I started this entire thing over again.
>Galaxy 5000
holy shit the controls are ass

>>1657318
What the hell is the point of that game

>>1657326
From what I could understand it's a racing game.

Just really, really weird haha.

I suppose I could have powered through this game blindly.
But I am having too much fun as it is right now.
I went to all the places I passed early on that had barriers for Surf, Strength and etc and found some really cool things.

>>1657392
Did you find anything good along the way?

My only grip with Pokemon (at least in the early gens) was that there wasn't too much to explore and find yourself outside of the main storyline

>>1657476
I found another entrance to those ruins with the alphabet pokemon where I found a little psychic bird.
Found a goddamn Lapras just sitting there in a cave.
There appear to be weekly events (like a bug-catching contest on Tues, Thurs and Sat)

And even then there appear to be more places to venture in further.
I just need to get the badge for Whirlpool.

I wonder if I could open VBA twice and trade with myself to get Gengar...

Well just started Spartan for the NES and it is kicking my ass

Why I'm i so casual

>>1657526
Oh man, it must be nice to play Pokemon for the first time and see all those things you're talking about.

Have fun when you get the badge for whirlpool!

>>1657536
It was actually training for the fight to do that which spurred me onto finding all this stuff.

And as soon as I did it I went outside I went "whoo! gonna explore some islands!"
But nooo. stupid Professor Elm calls me up and says Team Rocket is back and now they have talk radio.
Cause if anyone can bring down an international crime syndicate it's a 10 year old girl with no adult supervision.

>>1643202

Turns out it's just some sorta...flying simulator. That and I can't get it to run on DOS-BOX.

Reroll.

Your game is "Spectre"! Now go play it.

Sounds more promising than airplanes at any rate.

>>1657548
I would suggest to get the 8 badges and then explore after that before you continue on.

That's the best time to explore me thinks.

>>1657574
At this point you're probably right.
No sense in having to make multiple trips.

The real question is : What to evolve Eevee into?
Blast you Eevee, you have like 5 choices now...
I wars going for either Jolteon, Espeon or Umbreon.
I love Vaporeon, but Lapras is doing just fine in the water department.

>>1657638
I don't bother with esp/umb, too much work to do I think.

If you need lightning then prob jolteon would be the best choice?

>>1657662
Yeah, I have nothing at the moment in the way of electricity.
Though it might be worthwhile to hold out for a dragon or some other special type I could just teach some lightning moves to.

>>1657573

Is it normal to get a long list of games that just...don't work with DOSBox? Rolling again due to not being able to get this shit to work.

Your game is "Predator 2"! Now go play it.

I would love to play it, Gauntlet, if you'll give me a game that works.

>>1657680
Up to you. Probably just better to get joleton because if you level up high enough anyways you can just use normal moves against some monsters.

Idk I think you'll be fine

Well that was pretty straightforward.
Radio guy said "go to the Tin Tower"
So I go there and this thing jumps me.

Whoo! event legendary!

>>1657713
holy shit so lucky

>>1657714
Ehh, It was supposed to happen.
Evidently, being the title mascot of Crystal they made this one mandatory.

>Japanese text adventure made for girls
Is this what it feels like to be Chief?

Is there a rule against being a giant pussy?

Finally, a boyfriend free girlfriend that doesn't scream when I kiss her while she's unconscious and crying.

>Beat the 8th Gym Leader
>"waah, I don't wanna give you the badge even though you OHKO 3/4 of my team with Ice Beam"
>"go into this cave to prove your worth"
Isn't that against the rules?
I beat your ass, now gibe badge,

>>1657775
Shit's giving me Uninvited vibes, only dumber.

>>1657757

Hey I beat this game for the Gauntlet about a year ago.

I almost didn't make the 3 days limit mostly because I'm shit at these kinds of adventure games. Good luck and I'll offer any advice I can remember.

>>1657783
Not as bad as Whitney who just cries like a bitch or Giovanni who abuses animals

How do these people keep their jobs

>>1657805
Not a lot of applicants for a job where you sit there and let children beat up your pets?

>>1657794
Couldn't this technically be considered an RPG? It probably wouldn't take longer than 3 days though, if you managed it.

Also, ACTION

>>1657809
Oh god what

>>1657819
WHAT

WHAT HAVE I DONE

(I WON, RIGHT?)

>>1657825
You won her heart, Anon.

Go get her, slugger.

>>1657830
and then I got bit by a snake who supposedly dragged me to and raped me in an alley.

>>1657834
>Spend eternity in a seedy dive bar
>(End)

>>1657825

I mean, that's the bad end, so I dunno if that counts.

And it might, but I played while at work to beat it.

Welp, I did it.
I am sure there are a million other things to do after this.
But roll credits means I have fulfilled my gauntlet obligation.

You bet your ass I am going to continue on though.
Which means I'm not even gonna roll my next game for a few more days.

>>1657884
Dude, I loved reading through your posts and the way you make charts rather than flooding the thread with screenshots.
Thank you, I haven't felt like playing a pokemon game in a good while.

>>1657825
Okay I just realized I trapped myself in the bad end by kissing the bamboo queen. Only took me an hour to find that out.

I feel like reaching out for a reset button

>>1657884
>he thinks beating the Elite 4 is the end of pokemon GSC.
Nigga you still got 8 more Badges and match with Red to go.

>>1657884
...the game isnt over yet, theres still like 33% more to go.

>>1657909
No that's an additional quest guys.

Credits rolled.

>>1657894
Alright, well I found a little bit of bullshit. You can get an apple if you search the trees in E-Z, but any other difficulty and the apple never falls from the tree. How the shit are you supposed to get the apple, if not that?

>>1657886
I figured the collage was a good way to maximize content while minimizing thread wastage.
>>1657906
>>1657909
Would you prefer I keep going then?
I don't really mind, I intended to anyway.

>>1657939
Decided to go with E-Z mode, just so I don't look like a retard and fail my first gauntlet.

But seriously, fuck you.

>>1658046

Yeah. I had completed it on EZ for the same reason. After completion I had actually gone to a YT video and watched them do it, but I could not, for the life of me, get it to drop on anything other than EZ.

So if mine counted (and it did, iirc) yours will too. Godspeed, anon

>>1658059
I'm getting pretty lucky with my decisions so far. I even swam to grab seaweed for no reason, just to shove it into another sleeping girl's mouth to wake her up.

>>1658075

Yeah. Once you start getting into the villages is where things become asinine. Just remember to save often then, because I'm pretty sure I had to start over a few times due to incorrect decisions.

Not like it's difficult to get back there, but still. I replayed that intro scene about a dozen times.

But also, as stated, I'm terrible at those kind of games. Give me a platformer or an RPG any day.

Stop mixing things up, game
oh god why are my legs spinning

Here goes nothing.

>>1657819
pls teach me how you made this gif

TIME TO GET A BONER GUYS

>>1658762
Looks like 20k and 1000 bubbles is the score to beat.

So here we go.

>>1658762
wow i'm fucking jealous

>>1658775

Apparently this game has levels too.

>>1658786
oh gosh

>>1658778
WELL WHO WOULDN'T BE

Erm.

>>1658790
any progress?

>>1658841
GETTIN CLOSER.

The game got a lot easier when I realized you can move your clusters horizontally through the junk bubbles.

>>1658842
you better post the nude screenshots mister

>>1658842
Well, that's disappointing.

I still have 3 lives, but my score's gone :(

>>1658832
Honestly, this game isn't bad.

Except you can't run.

And the map is pretty fucking big.

>>1658847

Just found out that for the purposes of the high score screen, it only remembers what you got on your last life.

So shit.

>>1658854

>>1658923
Why was Gameboy Advance added to the list?

Not retro, reported this thread. Until someone fixes the gauntlet these threads will not be allowed, GBA is NOT retro.

>>1658859
There we go. I'm the best now.

>>1658846
for you.

>>1658932
No idea why GBA is on there, but y'know.

also game completed.

>>1658932
Dreamcast is allowed, so GBA should too.
Hell, let's pull in PS2, GameCube, and XBOX as well, just for completion.
They're all sixth generation devices, after all. If one's allowed in, they should all be.

>>1658978
Not retro, stop breaking the rules.
>>1658979
Dreamcast was always allowed in because it was released before 1999, the rules were only changed for a few months but people explained to the mods that it made no sense and they changed it back. GBA was never allowed, fuck off.

>>1658979
>thinking PS2, Gamecube and Xbox are retro

GBA was never there at first, go check the archive. It's been added in and these threads are now against the rules and the janitor is choosing to ignore it. This needs to be brought to attention so the biased party can be removed, rules are rules.

Though I don't know why the Janitor pruned my gameboy color screenshot (totally worksafe, no vulgar language as I recall)

The rules specifically state "Retro gaming means consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other games on platforms launched in 1999 or earlier. Sixth generation and later consoles are not considered retro."

While the gauntlet has provisions for the GBA, /vr/ does not.
We're not in /vg/ or /v/ anymore, so I dunno if you guys want to remove it entirely or simply not post any screenshots of the gba games.

>>1659117
Just remove it entirely off the list. What's the point in having it on there if you can't talk or post about it without your post getting deleted?

>>1659461
This. Just drop GBA. And if you guys are really desperate for another stage, add in a different retro console like the game gear.

>>1659480
The Game Gear is already there

>>1659461
Ok, I thought this was a democracy.
If most people in this thread want to talk about GBA, let them talk about GBA.
Mods = fags ?
Give us a break.

>>1659939
So you'd rather cause a shitstorm instead of following the rules. I used to like these threads too. Oh well.

>>1659946
I will leave the thread, but please think about what is more important, the community or some faggy rules enforced by mods?
We are here to have fun, not suck each others dicks.

>>1659946
Nobody is causing problems except -you-.

>>1659957
>>1659963
Fuck off rule breakers.

Your game is "Digger Legend of the Lost City"! Now go play it

This game is amazing, why haven't I seen anyone talk about it before? Based Rare.

Well looks like the drama is over for now I guess

Got anymore screenshots?

Back for brand new punishment. Let's see what the run has in store this time.

Cool beans, it's a shmup where you play as a dragon and throws you right into a boss fight.

And that's the game. Thanks for playing everyone, it's been swell.

...or not.

Okay, that's really it.

This was alright, the controls are responsive and tight, music is nice, gameplay could be a bit more challenging, frequently breaks the sprite limit resulting in a lot of flickering from the enemies but overall it's a decent game. Worth playing if you want an easy shmup and don't feel like playing Tyrian or Dodonpachi for the Nth time.

Onward to SNES. I can smell the awful.

>>1661384
That game is actually decent. Killer soundtrack, too.

So it's a brawler. Alright, /vr/, pick a dude.

We've got Al, Flynn, Echo and Prokop in that order.

>>1661404
Flynn (DICK in Japan) is da bess. Echo's got dem legs.

Optimus Prime it is then.

So I've gone from fighting thugs to cyborgs to mutants and now pirates. I'm sensing this game is just winging its thematic choices at this point.

I got to beat the shit out of a kid and then went super saiyan. I'm not even surprised at this point.

I remember this game. it was pretty tough. but hopefully I can beat it.

>>1661564
If you want to collect all 50 jewels for the bonus dungeon cheat now. Too many you can miss forever.

So apparently I got the bad ending for whatever reason but this game is over.

I'm not a fan of brawlers but this did its job. Whatever story it was trying to tell was all over the place, the AI is far too easy to trick and the game is way too generous with its health pickups but the controls are responsive, the music is alright, visuals are nice and crisp and I will give it points for having a block button that actually works in this type of game. This is probably more fun with two people but I'd rather play Turtles In Time. Overall, pretty average but nothing to really turn off anyone wanting to play it.

>>1661642
what game you working on now then?

>>1661938
I haven't rolled for the Gameboy yet. Right now I'm just poking around in Crusader: No Remorse trying to get that finished.

Why?
