>>339467

Old thread reached image limit. First time carrying one of these on, hope I did it right. Got tired of waiting for someone else to lol.

>>324301

Here's the actual old thread. We're off to a good start, eh?

>>337252
Holy fuck talk about difficulty curve. Some of the 6 bots can be tricky but holy fucking shit that last stage holds you down and fucks you in the ass. But after hours of hate I beat the fucker.

Do I get more than 3 days for my next one?

Well, I got the hang of this through some awkward finger positioning and some brutal exploitation of the computer during top-down races.

I'm awaiting the curveball.

>>339492
>Shadowrun
You're in for a good game.

Well, seeing this for the first time, how fucked am I?

In the end, our hero realizes that chasing after the sword sucks for his friends and goes to make a history where none of that ever happened. Or something. I only paid attention because I assumed there would be an end screen... there wasn't. So here.

So Daikatana isn't necessarily horrible... it's just poorly made. There's some interesting things here that don't pan out, and the textures are just so dull and ugly. I could see why people would be pissed if they waited so long and were so hyped for this.

So now I'm done with my first full gauntlet. I'll go work on the medals and will probably make a user page on the Wiki to talk about shit. Assuming I have time, anyway.

Decided to do this out of boredom, rolled Startropics.

What am I in for? I heard this game was a lot like Zelda.

>>339558
Boss rush time.
Go back to the very end of every game you played and beat them again. All in under 12 hours.

Ha! That's it for tonight.

>>339587

Pic

>>339558
Sounds like you made John Romero your bitch.

>>339567
In ways, yes.

>>339492
It's late here so I'm gonna start Shadowrun tomorrow.

>>339603
In ways. Got it.

>>339598
That's the funny thing, actually. For a game that's supposed to make you Romero's bitch, it's really easy. The game drops new weapons every other minute, many of which take out enemies in three hits max.

I only died once in my run, and that's because you basically unequip your weapon while swimming, and I was in an area where three enemies shoot at you as soon as you pop out of the water.

I'd be surprised if it did make anyone his bitch.

I'm gonna go ahead and admit that the odds of me beating Ms. Pac Man are pretty much slim to none. I haven't played this game in at least ten years and my last run in was at a retro arcade. This shit is the textbook definition of brutality, real talk.

Holy fuck. I won. The Hill Climb is impossible, but the last race is a Drag Race which the computer blows his engine over, even if he comes in with a fresh budget and maxed stats.

>Your game is "Cliffhanger"! Now go play it

I hope this isn't another game to slay me.

>>339567

It's genuinely enjoyable game. Not too difficult in contrast to what you could've gotten, either. Enjoy.

So it's... some sort of action climbing-shooty game?

>>339710
>Cliffhanger was awarded Worst Movie-to-Game of 1994 by Electronic Gaming Monthly.[2] Mega said it was "a truly disgusting piece of software".

>>339793

Wonderful. A beat-em up with shitty hit detection.

>>339817

I'll probably be going back down to NES if it's truly that awful.

>>339821

I died because I hit a gap that I couldn't jump across and it wasn't giving me any indication of what to do. It's... not quite SNES Batman-tier bullshit at least.

Ms. Pac Man made me her bitch so I went for a re-roll. Got stuck with this bad boy in her place. I vaguely remember this game from my childhood. My mom bought it for me when I was about four or five. Anyway, here's to hoping I can beat the game a good seventeen or eighteen years later.

>>339885

Ah. You can run. Fun facts:

1.) If you walk to close to the edge, your character leans over and will fall if you wait too long (longer than 1 second)

2.) You have a special sweep kick that takes HP. No one would use this because you can't get HP back I think.

>>339913
I guess no one else mentioned this, but games that are "endless" can be beaten by setting or beating a high score. I don't think anyone would expect someone else to beat Pac Man, anyway.

>>339940

I thought Ms. Pac Man only had a certain number of levels in it. Shows what I know (nothing). I wouldn't have been close to the highest score anyway, I'm sure.

>>339934

Oh boy. Defenseless climbing sections. You can jack up the lives to like 7 or 9, but that seems unfair to the gauntlet.

>>339996
Does this have a stage select at least?

>>340006

Nope. I think continuing sends you back to Stage 1, too, but we'll see.

>>340013

Yes, yes it does send you to Stage 1. Also I take back what I said earlier. The hit detection is so bad and the enemies have a longer range than you by default. They also surround you, you move slower than them, and blocking does nothing.

Ugh, why is the movement in this game so sluggish? Feels like it takes an eternity just to get the guy to move.

Well, I'm back. Here's where I lost last night.

For those who don't know, I'm playing Super Star Soldier, a schmup. I'm on the final level. Said final level is a boss rush. Level breakdown, combed from in-game knowledge and the instruction booklet I downloaded:

>Wave of enemies, several power-ups
>3 Consecutive bosses from older levels
>Another wave of enemies, lots more power-ups
>More bosses from older levels
>Maybe another wave of enemies (Unsure, never gotten this far)
>2 New bosses I've never faced

the advantage is that I've faced the bosses before, and they're exactly the same,so they're beatable. Even level' 4's boss which robed me of 5 lives the 1st time around (I'm slowly learning his complete pattern).

The problem is, if you don't have that ability to re-spawn from where you die, you go back to the start of the level, losing all progress. And that ability is somewhat rare unless you work for it, as it requires you to shoot at a certain type of power-up until it changes.

They make up for lack of predictability with sheer numbers of enemies. I got surrounded and hammered with no way to avoid death, so back to the start for me. Continues are infinite, so chances are I'll just throw myself t this for ages until I've got the stage memorized

I think I may have made the resolution too high on my medals. damn thing is 5300 x 1100.
There's only 10 medals there.
I got up to Genesis once and then fucked up so I began again from NES.
Up to GBA now, almost...
Would have probably either failed again or cleared it had this damn thing stopped giving me RPGs.

>>340296
Goddamn I am so bad at image editing at 2 in the morning.

>>340319
Damn, I was there when you did Robin Hood I think. I've been playing just as long and I'm only on Genesis...

>>340319
>Final Fantasy III
Holy fuck you can beat that in 7 days?

>>340059
Oh man, you're playing Startropics? I just finished that after a year of on/off play. Hope you plan on using a guide.

>>340389
I'm not him, but I drew it for the gauntlet too and I finished it in 6.

Though to be fair, I know how to break that game very easily.

>>340392
Not allowed to use guides for the gauntlet.

>>340398
Ah, alright.
Has anyone gotten FFVII yet?

>>340405
It's almost literally impossible without one. The original game came with a piece of paper with a code written in invisible ink that you had to dip in water.

The code is 747. You'll probably still need a guide.

>>340504
>747
STARTROPICS DEVS CONFIRMED FOR CAUSING 9/11

what am i in for /vr/ ?

>>340548
Hell.

>>340504
I was aware of that, actually.

Seems like it's impossible to dodge these guys. You can't move fast enough and there's not enough room to keep them off-screen.

For those wondering about the high life count, I'm going to start high and try to work down. Whichever the last one I beat the game with comes above when I stop or when time is up will be my limit and I'll respect anyone who can get past that.

Seriously, good luck, this game is pretty bad. I'll screenshot the real fucker of a level in a bit.

>>340616

Here we go. This level. There are a bunch of rocks you can slip on and take damage with ambiguous hit boxes. If the avalanche touches you, you die.

I'm in the process of beefing it in the screenshot.

Finally completed Contra for the first time without using Konami code. Levels 6 and 7 were designed by assholes. Goddamn flamethrower traps. But the final level was surprisingly easy if you just take your time. Coming up next for me is Time Slip.

>>340548
well fuck, this is actually kinda hard

>>340624

I forgot to mention that the beginning rocks are designed to where you'll slip and damage yourself at least once, maybe twice, and probably get avalanched.

>>340149

So far, part from lots of deaths, I've managed to figure out the patterns pretty well. The boss from level 4 is a lot easier once you realise you can just run up the sidesof the screen to evade the missiles, although they have great ability to track you. Ended up losing my high-end Fire power-up here. Gotten to the second run of bosses, it's 3 previously faced ones, then straight to the new ones.

Taking a food break, going to try this new boss soon

>>340624

Holy fuck. There is... wow. I'm seriously finding it nigh impossible to kill this guy. See my lives? Those were at 6 when I started this fight. If you get too far away, he does a fast divebomb attack (bear in mind, enemy attacks trigger faster than yours) and if you get close enough to hit, he sits there and blocks every shot indefinitely.

This might be another shot at NES games. Again.

>>340689

The trick is to use your sweep kick (that takes life for some reason). But when he gets low on health, he rhino charges.

>>340696

You game over regardless, you can only continue once it seems.

I think this game is too much for me. Maybe I'm just giving up too easily.

>>340704

Ouch, all the way back to the start?

If it were unlimited continues, or it only sent you back to the start of the level, I'd say keep hammering at it until you finally cracked it. But it looks like a steaming pile of shit from the caps, so it's probably worse for you. And to start from the very start every time?

Probably not worth it

>>340717

Yeah. There are just so many issues. Enemies have faster response times, longer ranges, and even the lowliest thugs take a lot of hits. Your best bet is to flying kick, except arbitrarily the game stops you from moving forward with the flying kick, which means you stop short.

This is ignoring that the game throws instant-death hazards at you. A lot of them. The best bet against these is to hit 100,000 points for an extra life, but there's no real way to get extra points from the enemies you kill, so you can't play particularly good and get more points.

>>340389
Took me less than 3, and only cause I had to work most of it.

For a large chunk of my childhood, that game was the only game I owned.
So I know it well.

>>340414
I swear to fucking god if I draw a PSX RPG...
I am going to go mad with sleep deprivation.
And if it does give me one, I pray it gives me one I can't play half-dead in a language I don't even recognize.
>>340504
It is totally fine for people in the thread to outright help you.
And you can look up the instruction manual/map that came with the game too.

>>340683

Killed the boss, then this appears. Took my respawn and my power-up. Luckily his shooting pattern is indentical, so I managed to survive. Then the next part game. I don't have a cap of it, but it's identical to the ship from the 2nd and 3rd cap, except it's got a gun in the middle. It has 3 predictable shooting phases: spam the middle of the screen with long bullets (enough gaps between to avoid, or just fly to the sides), fire it's central gun (easier t avoid, it's one shot) and then fire a bunch of destroyable rings (which only seem to serve to stop you damaging it)

Once the gun goes down, it changes up a bit. phase 1 is nearly indentical, except it's near impossible to fly between the shots, so it takes longer to win. Stage 2 is replaced by the lighting you see in the 2nd pic. It aims at you and is hell fast. I only avoided it the first time because I was moving back into the center and got lucky. After that, the ship broke apart and it's just you and the brain.

And fucking hell it's tough. It's surrounded by a bunch of other brains you have to shoot through to kill it. Except they regenerate. Oh, and if you don't kill it before the outer brains regenerate, it splits into more brains. Which do exactly the same thing, just on a smaller scale. Except the brain spawning part. They do hat just fine.

I think I'm going to need something stronger than the Blue and Red Power Ups. Green has served me well, hopefully I can nab a few of those. Wish me luck

>>341031

Fucking this power-up man. I've cruised through bosses. Cruised. Challenging bosses just die to sustained firepower from a distance. Gives me hope man

>>341192

Just waiting for a Game Over/Congratulations screen. The Laser power-up just destroyed the final boss.

>Damage from side, so avoiding bullets much easier
>Brains don't have time to regenerate when under constant damage

>>341215

Wow, after brief scene of your ship outrunning an explosion, and some very formal credits (almost everyone was Mr. with one Miss) you get this screen. Gonna go update the wiki and roll a DOS game

Well then, time to kick this fucker off.
Looks like its a Zapper game.
Not yet beaten by anyone so, i have no idea how this will turn out.

>>341230

>The Catacomb Abyss is one of the first ever first-person shooters. It's based on an early id Software raycasting engine, similar to the one used in Wolfenstein 3D (which came months afterwards) but in 16 colours.

Might b cool

>>339710
You beat Bigfoot. Congratulations, good sir.

This makes my workday much better

>>341231
Half trough the game this happens.

>>339467
Why's Piccolo on the title screen

>>341330
daily dose

>>341337
Explain?

>>341245

I was born in 1989 and didn't get a computer until 2000 so this makes me laugh.

I'll probably start this on the weekend: I have long days ahead of me for the rest of the week and want to be able to spent time on this. It encourages you to save often, go back to old saves, and use that as an excuse to play around with your playstyle.

>>334642
Well, I had some sleep, just came home from work and..

Oh boy am I in for a treat.

I guess this counts as an RPG so I'm stuck with this shit for a week, great.

>>341392
It's not bad, just not Pokemon good.

That said, it's not good either.

>>341392

You rolled a bootleg?

>>341392
>>341428

Apparently. I rolled GB/GBC and got this shit.

So far I got KURIBUTE and KESI, fuck.. yeah..?

well after me being stupid last night i did play back to where i was in this game

>>341373
>318 area code
oh law hamussy

>>341428
It's the shitty bootleg translation of Keitai Denjuu Telefang.
The game is actually a lot better than Pokemon in many aspects, imo.

forgot to screen cap after beating him but flashman is down

>>341483

>that same stretched image

The ride never ends

>>341479

Reading up on it. Seems like the non-bootleg would be pretty good. Looks like there's a fan translation in the works, according to Wikipedia.

>Add to list of games to try

>>341452

I gave my KURIBUTE a gun, no idea what it did but it made him grin, not sure if I should be scared or not.

Caught a KOKIA and OSIE.
KURIBUTE and KOKIA leveled up.

Also, I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing because of the terrible engrish.
Gameplay is alright so far though.

>>341505
Already released, but only for Power version.
http://s15.zetaboards.com/Tulunk_Village/topic/515337/1/

>>341519
OSIE is a piece of shit, keeps getting lost when I call his ass.

Encountered some Team Rocket look-alike who apparently wants to be Meowth.

And I believe I'm close to wrapping this up.

Well since i did not manage Gargoyles quest within 3 days due to work, i´ll reroll.

well this doesen´t look too bad.

>>341831

Enjoy your trojan

>>341846
I sure as hell won´t...

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

>>341875
Meh. The stages are short as fuck, and the enemys just spam an assload of projectiles.

I just hope i can finish this quickly.

>>341875
Dark Spirit Ken has Invaded.

>>341924
well shits about to get real.
Current highscore is 109350.

Alright I'll join this lets see what I get

>Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego

lol here we go

>>341960
THERE ARE TWO OF THEM!?

>>341991

>>341995
I fucking did it AND i beat the high score.

Okay Gauntleteers, I'm gonna give this another shot. I got up to Mega Drive last time and lost on James Pond 3 (that game has over 100 levels and only doles out passwords if you collect special items), but I'm going to give this another shot.

This is the game I coincidentally got for NES.

>>342031
Ha, nice.

Anyways I believe this is the final level of Aero the Acrobat 2 on Genesis.
Wish me luck!

>>342031
And this game is already kicking my ass.

Luckily on my second play I managed to find a secret exit that lets me skip a few levels. Hopefully I'll come across a few more of them...

It just annoys me how quickly the enemies spawn. I feel like I just have to ram my way through them since there doesn't seem to be any other way to get past.

I rolled Barney's Hide & Seek. Oh joy.

Well since Trojan is beat, my supply on snacks is refilled, and i´m still bored, i think its time to roll for SNES.

...And i have no fucking clue what i´m in for now.

beat quick man after alot of fail

nothing funner then cheating

>>342395
I always saved him for last.

>>342428
i should have since i wasted most of flashman weapon on the stage i had to use the megabuster

so heatman kills me the same time i kill him

and yet i still win

can i beat air man

what the heck are these thing suppose to be

>>342631

Stylized Raijin (shinto god of thunder) heads, I believe.

sorry got caught up playing just beat crashman

Guys can you help me out I'm playing the Aladdin game on snes It doesn't seem like I can make this jump don't know what to do

>>342830

He grips on platforms, doesn't he? Just go for it.

Yeah don't know why I couldn't do it but I got it right after I posted

>>342830
All you have to do is juuuuuuuump

s-sorry genie you don't have to give me that look

>>342845

>>342882
genie's a dick for making you do that anyway. this level always bothered me as a kid for that reason.

I realized that I can't actually make a new page on the Wiki (either that or I'm just dumb with Wikis), so I'll just upload my medals here. Not as fancy as I would have liked, but it looked ugly when I tried.

>>343532
You finished a run, right?
Do you start over or do you just... stop?

>>343580
You could start over if you want, but you're free to do whatever after you finish a run. Like I'm taking a break since I was involved with this for a while.

beat the first willy stage

hey i got landed with Shien's Revenge. How the fuck do i kill that tank in stage 3? That shit is impossible...

you know this boss is really cool

Just rolled on gameboy.

Sounds fucking rad.

>>343797
maybe a bit 2rad

ummmmmmm ok. just rolled gameboy and got The Jetsons. My NES game was Flintstones. What is the gauntlet trying to tell me?

>>343943
I guess I'm gonna make Hanna Barbera my Hanna Barbitch.

though I actually can't play right now so I'll be back with this later

>>344145
I scored 79100. That's your goal! I didn't have proof to offer, though.

I'm alive again. Fuck Cliffhanger, back to NES I go.

>Your game is "Final Mission"! Now go play it

Never played this one myself.

Finished SMRPG, Rolling for next system. Pics will be uploaded at a later date, mainly because my mate from school borrowed my flashdrive to put Persona 4 on it and the guy hasn't brought it back.

Rolled. Can't say I didn't think it would happen to me.

Never even heard of this game. Might be cool.

>>344379
Apparently I'm a ghost and my goal is to blow on a bubble and push it through the exit.

I'm not sure if I should be disappointed with the lack of creativity in the title, or impressed with the honesty.

>>341573

Took a break, now I'm back and I entered a new area on the map by walking through a tree.

Just like Bek here, I have no idea what's the hell going on? Apparently I'm making progress though.

It begins.

>>344428
This games... kind of easy.

>>344491
Oh, it's a beat-em-up.

after giving up on Populous SNES (there's no way I can beat that monster in 3 days, or a week), it's back to the NES.
>Your game is "Mega Man"! Now go play it
GOLLY
just played this last week, looks like I'll be playing again tonight
such good luck...

Allegedly the American version is easymode compared to the Japanese version. By how much I'm not certain.

>>344667
What is this, the 20th time someone has rolled Mega Man in the last few days?

>>344680

Holy fuck this is kind of awesome. I'm flying and I have drones that change their firing direction depending on how I move

>>344634
Well that went from zero to assfuck no time at all.
This guy does some kind of spaz attack every time I get near him.

>>344685
probably. Better megaman than shovelware though

>>344719
And I start over at the beginning of 1-1. Well! I see how it is.

>>344610
This has officially stopped being as easy.

>>344738
Get near him, bait him into spazzing out, wait until he's done, slide twice. Boss beat, bat box get.

>>344802
Shreck your privelege

>>344698
Oh shit I remember this game, it has different names in both Japan and Europe(version I played) though. Pretty sweet game.

>>344698

Bomb powerup too OP, even if it fires slowly. Took out the boss in "three" hits (since each hit was more like 4-5 hits)

>>344814

I'm pleasantly surprised.

>>344379
>>344428
>>344610
>>344801
Why are you simulating scanlines and a CRT curve on a Game Boy game?

>>344801
Well, apparently that was the "boss" stage. For beating the game I was rewarded with a cutscene showing my ghost doing circles around the bubble, which was what I was doing the entire game anyways.

Solid 4/10 for a portable puzzle game of its era.

>>344809
2-1 is a big pain in the ass. Lots of tricky enemies, like this trident-wielding fireball-spewing asshole. 1-1 was so easy just to get you used to the game, I guess.

The "box" thing apparently acts like an energy tank. After my lifebar emptied, the box greyed out and my lifebar filled again. I hope it's easy to get that back, because otherwise, I'm afraid I've wasted it.

>>344865
I could never beat the SNES version as a kid. I got close, though.

>>344865
Are you going to twirl your moustache next, Snidely?

>>344858
Because it looks awesome and reminds me of those Gameboy displays they had at game shops back in the day where you could play the games on a television.

Also 4chan has informed me that my screenshot is actually an embedded file. Either Retroarch screenshots are hardcore, or 4chan is retarded.

>>344879
Died on 2-2, pleasantly surprised to respawn on 2-2 with box in hand.

>>344923
VARIETY IN GAMEPLAY

In Pirates of Dark Water, got me a shit ton of lives, healing items, and a Magic Compass.

I hope lives and items carry over from stage to stage. I used a password to get back into the game before and it gave me the default 3 lives rather than the 5 I had.

>>344956
Oh come on what the hell

...how the fuck am I supposed to beat Gauntlet II?

>>344980
Round 2 fuckers

Suck Batara—

oh god damn it why'd you move

>>344817

Fuck this second stage is brutal. I'll get to it eventually. I have to stop, though, not because the game is bad or frustratingly hard, but because I have the worst itch on my nose and it won't go away.

Well, I have to say the GameBoy version was much easier for me. Beat it in just under an hour and a half. Rolling for next system.

>>345018
Made it to the third floor of Shreck's Department Store on my third try of the stage.

Catwoman was there. I figured out that you slide under her jump then turn around and punch her. Then she pulls out her whip and from there I just tried to time slides and jump kicks as well as I could. Managed to beat her, but it was close.

Onto 3-1!

I vaguely recall this game being kind of difficult back when I was like 10.

>>345242
it still is.

Bram Stoker's Dracula okay lets do this
Pretty straightforward but what the hell? Is that orange bearded man supposed to be Dracula? I never read the book so I guess so???
I was playing on normal fuck you game. Time to be a better adventurer

>>345138
Beat world 3. Onto world 4.

>>345242
>dat falling rock stage

Have fun raging for missing one double jump

>>344965
First three levels were alright. Now on level 4 the game is getting really aggravating.

These natives are annoying sons of bitches. They're supposed to fight with their spears, but actually, they just jump inside of you, causing damage. Attack all you want, you cannot hit them while they are in you. And of course, that stuns you so you get locked in place, and they're generally with friends who also want inside of you.

>>345356
HOLY SHIT GOTTA GO FAST

>>345461
I don't have a clue how to even damage this guy

Damn

>Altered Beast

RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE

lets have fun with this trainwreck

>>345684
already fun times ahead

My game got corrupted and the files got erased.

I didn't even know this was POSSIBLE on an emulator.

>>345725
damn sherk

you went through some hard ass times

>>345684
Have fun, horse!

Anywho, I got Rolling Thunder 2 for the Genesis. Looks...okayish. Graphics look like they were on the Master System, you can only shoot left and right, you have limited ammo, you can't jump while shooting, and you can jump ten fucking feet in the air if you hold up and B. Game over'd on the first level (shut up, I never played this game before and I'm still getting used to it), so I changed my character from the male character to the female character. There doesn't seem to be any difference in how they play, it seems. Eh.

>>345754
i'm normal again than god

also why the fuck don't you kill me afterward you dumb fuck

>>345769
Huh, well this is unique: passwords made up of actual words. Why didn't more old games do this? Hell of a lot easier than X4RY-W512-AGY2-Y72F.

>>345818
I honestly thought the color scheme wouldn't get worse

i was wrong

like jesus christ i know its a launch title but my god this is horrible

>>345840
is this a step up from wolf man or not

i can't tell

>>345735
Back to World 2, good thing I know all these puzzles already.

>>345862
Kracko

what did they do to you

>>345895
AW FUCK I'M LATE FOR WORK AND THERE'S THIS ALMOST NAKED ASSHOLE

>>345824
There're goddamn panthers after me. Help.

Oh, and you can cover. That's pretty neat.

And yeah, I died, continued, and changed my character. Sue me.

Guys, hopefully this isn't a symbol for anything to come...

H-here I go!

>>345935
oh my god

i take everything back i've said bad about this game

>>345996
okay what the fuck is this

>>345992
I want my suffering to end.

>>345546
Back.

I'm still getting my ass kicked by the circus grinder.

By some miracle, I managed to make it to him with pretty good health on my first try, but now I don't always get to him, and have very low health when I do.

Very frustrating. Are there more of those box things? I could really use another one here.

>>346039
Everything is puke green and shit brown.

AND AWESOME POSSUM DOESN'T

SHUT

UP

>>346042
Uh, wow. I should really look at these screenshots before I post them. I didn't realize I took it on a frame where nothing was visible.

>>345684
>there will never be a good sequel to Altered Beast

>>345865
World 3 again.

>>346051
"You just walked in to the wrong trivia room, bitch."

>>346080
I am smurt.

But seriously, trivia for a bonus game what the shit

>>346091
D) SEMEN

>>346119
E) THE TEARS OF ALL THE POOR CHILDREN WHO HAD THE MISFORTUNE OF OWNING THIS POOR EXCUSE FOR A GAME

>>346042
FUCK THIS SHIT

>>346070
Finally got back where I am.

>Spooky House

Oh shit.

>>346168
and my computer crashed

my save died too

yeah no fuck altered beast game is garbage

>>346168
A THWIMP

I haven't seen one of these since Super Mario World.

>>346154
Do it, Awesome Possum. End it all. You have nothing to live for. End it.

Damn, turn three and I was out. I have no clue what I'm doing. Round two, in a little bit.

I hate you Nobunaga.

Three of se-eight I mean. Gonna have to step my game up, I have like four or three days left. This is pretty fun though, glad I rolled it.

>>346160
I'm done. I'm done. I'm too casual for this game.

Worlds 1-3 were a bit tricky, but doable overall. Unless there's some big trick I'm missing, or there was a way to get more boxes, beating World 4 is not feasible.

The rules say "without assistance", so I can't look up the answer (nor can you guys help me). I gave this one a serious effort. I'm going to start over with a new NES game tomorrow.

>>346189
World 5!

>>346386

You lucky asshole.

what am i in for /vr/ ??

Ultra Games™

Shit Games Konami didn't want their Name Associated With™

>>346459
what the fuck console is that?
If it were Genesis or SNES I'd have been able to tell, and at that point it'd be a fun-ass beatemup. But this? Idk

>>346491
This appears to be some kind of baseball game

I don't know a damn thing about baseball.

>>346508
uh

WHAT

>>346517
>I don't know what the FUCK is going on.jpg

This had to be the best movie game I have played I'm glad it's holding up and not just nostalgia

>>346503
its for NES, seems alright so far..

>>346459

a lousy action platformer

>>346528
The asshole never threw the ball. I think I was in a two-player mode?

I have no idea how to play this game solo, or if I even can.

I think I'll save up for a Muramasa.

The water stages were absolute ASS
I can only imagine how fun this retarded mess is with a multitap.

>>346567
Ok. I can play a "free game" against the CPU, but I can't find a way to play Pennant mode against CPUs. Oh well, I'll play a free game for now.

I can't seem to hit the ball. On the other hand, it's really easy to catch balls and get the other team out.

Bottom of the first, score tied at 0-0.

>>346543
>>346558
seems like it so far

>>346620
i love you, RNG.

>>346621
That was the most anime homerun ever

I think homeruns are the only way to score in this game. Even when the fielders don't catch the ball outright, they can usually throw it to base in time to get everyone involved out.

>>339467

Why is GBA on the list? GBA is not retro. It was made in 2001.

>>346664
>YEAH.........nanananah

>>346686

>>346664
HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK

>>346686
Because it's not a 3DS, moron

>>346726
YEAH BUTTON MASHING

MY PRIZE: I GET TO BE ON BASE

>>346726
FUCK YES! NO SLIDING INTO THE PLATE, JUST BLASTING INTO THE PLATE!

>>346732
>robot with gun loses to robot without gun

That's bullshit and you know it

>>346732
Followed by a double play in which that guy got out.

I really hate how defense-sided this game is. It's fuckin' unbalanced.

>>346732
Also, if you keep beaning players in the head with the pitcher, they will forfeit... and by that I mean explode.

>>346732
Followed by a double play in which that guy got out.

I really hate how defense-sided this game is. It's fuckin' unbalanced.

>>346735
Is there a way to play campaign mode against all CPUs?

>>346707
What is so hard about following the rules? Just because you faggots like GBA doesn't mean it makes that retro.

>>346748
Pennant Mode

>>346771
Well. Things took a turn for the worse that inning.

>>346748
I tried it, but I couldn't find a way to set the other teams to CPU. They were all "human" by default.

>>346783
Forgot image lol

>>346765
Roll a game and contribute or quit fucking bitching about it. No amount of your complaining is going to stop them.

>>346765
Let's just report everyone on both sides of the debate and let the janitor decide, hmm?

Normally I don't post images other than my Sanctuary victories, but this really caught me off guard.

Is Ness like, staring at her ass or something? She says it even if I stand in front of her.

Fuck, this game's pretty weird. Some of the songs sound like Beatle's junk too, what's with that?

>>346783
Oh, I got it. I hold "B".

>>346792
Well, I got steamrolled in that game. Ok. Pennant mode.

Aw yeah. I'm hilarious.

(I couldn't think of anything more derogatory than "Detroit.")

>>346854

It get's even more weird later on.

>>343990
I've only seen like one episode of the Jetsons and I was really little, is this really George's responsibility?

This is the future, if robots are going beserk I'd think they could do better than call one guy.

>>346884
Sigh.

I'm going to lose this game because Jew York got one lucky home run.

Fielding is brainlessly easy, but I can't hit the ball for shit. It's good that the other team can't either, though, I guess.

>>346884

This game actually looks pretty damn cool. I don't usually like sports games.

So...I was working on a TG16 game called Somer Assault last night, and I finally managed to complete it. I mentioned in the last thread that I receive 30 lives and wondered why there were so many. Well...there was a boss rush. That, and trying to get used to the final boss took away all of my lives. It took me quite a few tries to defeated all the phases of the finale with only a few lives, but I did it (you thankfully don't have to do the whole rush over again, just the last boss). Usually, I'd have a montage at this point, but honestly, I really don't care enough for this game. Such a great concept, but such awful execution.

So, anyway, onto the DOS game:
>La Aventura Espacial
A foreign title like this doesn't necessarily mean a foreign game...but it does here. A Spanish adventure game, I just wouldn't be able to play it because there's too much text and adventure games are usually already hard enough in English.

> Corncob Deluxe
Ok, this is playable, but it's a flight simulator. There's no real goal to it. There are missions, but no structure to them, and trying them out it's just no fun. I really had a hard time deciding to skip this, but what I rolled next convinced me otherwise:

> Your game is "Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday"! Now go play it

Now THAT sounds like something that goes well in my gauntlet. Haven't had an RPG yet, and it's apparently not a bad one despite a license on it. Cool.

>>346963
I guess the whole family is helping out, first level was Elroy, who attacked with some kind of boomerang ball. the future is a scary place.

Never heard of this game.

OK, let's do it.

>>346963

>>347094
You... you never heard of Spy Hunter?

>>347085
next is judy, who seems to only be able to throw boxes. at least these robots flee in terror when they see me.
then I hit a button and everything flipped upside-down.
The future is a scary scary place.

>>347102
>>347220

finished Aladdin. time for gameboy

>>347325

>>347459
forgot my pic

lets see what I got

never heard of it here we go

>>347505
I looked it up and it's a movie game that's a comedy starting bruce willis what

>>347521
I-i don't think I'll re roll once

>>347538
>Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins

this pleases me

>>347538
NO. PLAY THE FUCKING GAME YOU ROLLED.

OR DROP DOWN TO THE PREVIOUS SYSTEM.

y-y-yes s-sir

>>347504
>>347220
this level was terrible.
the future man... terrible.

>>347710
god damn does this game suck

Sure, you may say your ex boy/girlfriend is an evil cunt.
But did they fake their own deaths, killing all the other people you knew and liked leaving you alive an scarred forever for...giggles?

At any rate... to SPAAAAAACE

Lord this Pirates of Dark Water game is awful. There is so much bullshit but here are three (in just one level) situations that pissed me off.

First: I have to climb up that ladder. But on the ledge above are two enemies, and they will stand around there because they know I'm coming. I have to climb or jump up, and either way will get my hurt. Sword slashing in the air won't help, because my body will touch them before their bodies touch my sword.

Second: I had no clue where to go. Upon jumping in the water, which hurts you and warps you back, I discover there is another ship to the right. I can get there by climbing the mast of THIS ship and leaping over. The only way to know this is to hurt yourself by jumping in the water.

Third: Left is a dead end. Whether I go up or down, I will take damage.

There are numerous other things, like how enemies will appear on the screen and damage you before you can even react. Or how once they get inside of you, you're doomed to take lots of damage. Or how sometimes your sword goes through the enemy and does nothing.

>>347896
Now this is absolute cock shit. What do I do? The tide rises, there is no where to go, and you die. That's it. Sometimes it only rises a little bit, and you can jump like an idiot a few times to not get pushed into the ocean. But like this time, it goes higher than you can possibly jump and it's instant death. What are you supposed to do?

>>347813
I got game over and have to start all over, but Jane has a jetpack which is pretty cool. this mall has spikes and no stores though. the future is terrible.

>>348007
>female character
>game takes place in a mall

Terrible

>>347969
Oh look. More bullshit. Can't jump up on the platform, just barely out of reach. Only other place I can go is that little chamber in the bottom picture, and I can't jump high enough to do anything.

As far as I can tell, this level is broken. I see no where else to go.

>>348034
Some people like realistic games.

>>348007
I want Jane to stop this crazy thing.

>>339596

Time to keep this going. I realize I'm taking way too long, but if it helps I've played for less than 5, maybe even 4 hours so far.

>>348390
the way I stacked these word bubbles, it looks like george is super tall. the future man, like... whoa

>>346732
I remember playing this game long ago. When visiting a friend or cousin, I remember me and my siblings, as well as whoever we were visiting at the time that had this (we had sega, they had nintendo at the time), we had some fun with this game and decided to go by hockey rules.

AKA, beat the shit out of your opponents until one of us wins by default.

This doesn't seem that bad.

>>348510

Was right, beat him on third time seeing him ever.

>>348471
I'm scared to say it but I think this is where the real game begins. I finally am playing as George, and he has all the abilities that the other family members had.

either that or this is the last level and this game is very short. who knows what the future holds. something terrible I'm sure.

>Fourside Department Store
I can't do this. I have seen the face of hell and it is a walking record.

>>348548
It was something terrible.

Alright, so I'm emulating Sanic 2 on my Wii. I'm at Metropolis zone, act 1
9 lives

I REALLY dont want to risk a game over, because I'm playing unbelievably well tonight....

Should I use a save state, just at the start of this level? None in between, just before the last 3 levels

>>348843
No, you toughen through that shit. I had to do it on a gauntlet run I ended up restarting, it's honestly not too hard. Just make sure to have at least one ring on you at all times... it sounds obvious, but the sudden enemies popping up are the worst thing in that level.

It also helps that Wing Fortress has a way to farm for lives, so you can risk a little here and there.

>>348898

alright, this is on your head

Act one down, 8 lives to go

ACT 2 DOWN, 0 LIVES LOST

GET HYPED

Got Metal Slug 3. Can I even take screenshots with MAME?

>>349069
See? Then after Metropolis is a slow stage, followed by a stage where you can farm for as many lives as you want. Then you may fuck up on the last boss as much as I did.

>>348987
>>349069
Get that bug off your screen.

Boss was a faggot

Down to 6

TIME FOR AIR FORTRESS

>>349148

also, thats not a bug. My phone camera is scratched

Correction, now its time for Air Fortress

THANK YOU BASED EXTRA LIFE AT 200,000 PTS

Too bad by taking this pic, I missed the Ship, and fell to my death
NEVER TEXT AND FLY, KIDS

Alright...so I save stated on my last life

I know, its not completely legit, but The final bosses hitboxes are bullshit

That, and The last stage of air fortress kicked my ass

NEVERTHELESS, ROBOTNIK GOES DOWN IN FLAMES

SANIC 2 GETS A 9.5/10, ITS OK

>>349454
THIS MAN FAILS!

>>349454
Shamefur. That afraid to have to restart?

>>349454
What, do you not have ANY continues?
Did you not do any of the special stages?
I am disappoint

And there we have it!

After taking a lot longer than I expected, I finally beat King Drool III and fixed the moon, beating this game!

>Your game is "The Raven Project"!

Uh... someone want to help me find this? I'm not having any luck.

>>350347
After some googling I found this french page... maybe?
http://www.abandonware-france.org/ltf_abandon/ltf_jeu.php?id=1064

>>350373
Looks legit... damnit. After a few glances I was hoping nothing would come up after my extensive search. This is going to be painful if I can get it to work...

>>350373
>>350402
Also, jesus, a 2 disc game? 800MB+? Fuck me.

>>350426
Maybe it's some sort of magical game that will make us all cream ourselves in excitement.
You must continue.

Forgot to post in here that I earned this earlier. Will roll for TG16 tomorrow. (technically later today).

>>350317
>thanks for playing
tfw

>>350805
this game is so cruel. I'm trying to escape this rising water, if you touch it at all you die. meanwhile there are perfectly placed enemies everywhere for you to run into while jetpacking.

then I found this big button that looked like it would save me, which was hard to get to, but all it did was warp me to a room that was already almost filled, so I died instantly. then I respawned in that room, over and over again, watching my precious lives slip away one by one.

now I have to do it all again. the future is a terrible terrible place.

I rolled M.U.L.E.

So, it has 4 players so I am going with 1 Player Mode tournament since it seems appropriate. I chose Bonzoid as my race.

>>351542
Oh god I know your pain about that game. I played it for my GB gauntlet. Protip: Do not touch any buttons or go find any "secrets" with George


And on the final boss, don't bother hitting the lightning rod. Just hit the floating spaceship when it opens up.

I beat it, took longer than the time limit but I beat it.

50 lines.

>>351639
So far after the 2nd month out of 12 I am now ranked 2nd, I am doing this game on the fly, so I know very little about it.

>>351667
I was JUST thinking that next time I'd try not hitting the buttons. I assumed they were necessary since they start a cutscene and everything. without the rising water that level might actually be possible.

I was also gonna skip the secret with every character, but I'm curious about what happens if you fill the diamond meter

thank you for the advice kind soul.

>>351728
I made it through on the first continue after I started with Elroy's stage and it whipped me into shape. Honestly looking back, the game isn't hard at all just really unforgiving and tries to fuck you around. It also felt really glitchy in a lot of places and I'd get slowdown when I was on a vehicle and another vehicle was in the same room.

Aiight, gamu start. Pinocchio on the SNES
Last game beaten was Cocoron, a fun if at times frustrating platformer with a create your own hero element to it.
This I'm betting is a bit more traditional.

>>351756
I always start with Jane's level since it gives me the most trouble. just got first game over on the first george stage, and there were some easily avoidable bullshit deaths earlier so I think I get this eventually.

sadly now I must leave, hopefully finish this tonight.

>>351821
How lame. One would think they'd utilize the SNES's power for a simple cutsequence.The Nes could do better than that.

>>351835
Thos fucking cats.

>>351858
The gameplay is pretty dull. Don't seem to even have an attack button, have only been walking around a maze like area so far, trying to dodge enemies.

>>351914
Ah, figured how to attack. And now I'm Jiminy Cricket.

>>351979
Only took tree lives to figure out what I was supposed to do based on a film I haven't seen since I was 4.
Then an Irritating dancing sequence.
Pleasure island better be pleasurable.

>>352039
Had to restart it on Snes9x since Zsnesw started suddenly to act up and refuse to recognize my key inputs.

Is it bad if I just use the site in the OP to find some obscure games I've never played before?

>>352039
>>352137
Good thing having to restart is that I seem to have gotten better playing it.
Bad thing is that this is such a monotonous game. Half the time I mess up just because I'm so disinterested in it.

>>352360
Donkeyocchio commits murder and gets the mandatory water level as a reward. At least the upside down element seems interesting.

>>352429
Water level was pretty interesting, so was whale chase level. Then we returned to the same maze like bullshit that makes the regular stages so uninteresting when inside of the whale.
Then a raft stage. Here's hoping it'll be fun

>>352525
All is well that ends well. Got the good ending (I assume) too!
As far as video game adaptions of Disney franchises go, this game was pretty low tier.
Some decent graphics and animation but boring gameplay and horrible renditions of iconic themes. The SNES could do much better than that.
As far as the Gauntlet goes, this was probably the third worst game I've been forced to play, right behind Awesome Possum on the Genesis and Dragon's Rock on the GBA.

Rolled for C64. Got a game called "Monty on the Run". Looks like a platformer. Downloading now.

>>352634
Neat! Rolled a Game Gear game since I haven't been able to in past, pre /vr/ gauntlets and got a challenging classic.
Will begin fighting my way trough it later today or tomorrow.

>>352758

You're not beating that. With that said loading up Metal Storm again.

So this fucking level is constantly scrolling down, when you switch gravity you can fall off the top of the screen and come back up from the bottom, and vice versa. Genius!

>>353206

What is this I don't even....

>>353242

I didn't deserve this, I don't know how it happened. Was only the third time seeing the boss. Take a look at the previous screen shot, those lasers at the top and bottom kill you. Your boss is the platforms you are standing on. You constantly have to jump from the top to the bottom, pretty much every 3 seconds. Once there is only one left, you have to jump off of it, get under (or over) it before you fall and flip gravity, over and over.

I focused on staying alive and just held down the shoot button, and somehow ended up winning. I'm gonna go have a heart attack.

>>353298

Boss rush mode down, final boss maybe?

>>353489

Oh nevermind. That thing was nothing, really more of a reward for beating boss rush mode. You just blow up 3 things and get the ending. Alright rolling for Super Nintendo... whoa. Clock Tower. Never played any of these, heard really good things.

>>353514
Protip: nobody cares about your retarded backgrounds

>>353525

When I started, I was just using the built in 'take a screenshot' function that nestopia had, but they came out super tiny. So I just started using print screen.

>>353550
Yeah, no. You're attention whoring. Stop it.

>>353637

Well, if it helps, SNES doesn't look like shit when stretched out, so go fuck yourself, and these will be full screen. I guess I should be like that mega man guy and just fully stretch it out right?

Anyway, ignoring that jackass, starting up Clocktower.

Time to report in.

Mages seem to be pretty weak in this game. They can only hire guardmen who are weak as fuck. They take a lot of damage. The spells aren't that great, and they die all the time.

Hope she gets better if I make her a wizzard.

>>350173

>implying its possible to do the Special stages with AI Tails

>>353719
Don't be so mad, you got the attention you were looking for, didn't you?

>>353719

I lied. Will start it another time, shit came up.

H-HERE I GO

>>353793
Good, you caught her. Now put it in.

>>353793
Shit, that was short.

>>353808
I think we all know what Barney does when he catches them.

>>353968
>a white

>a mexican
>an asian

Who says games aren't PC

>>353206
>You're not beating that
Not going for a 1cc or 1lc or even the "right" ending, the game has continues and passwords. That said, I'll start out tomorrow.

>>354040
You don't get to use continues or passwords in the Gauntlet. You're not even allowed to die.

>>354069
Obviously credit feeding isn't allowed in arcade games, but when the console game offers limited continues (3 in this case) I don't consider that a cheat. Similarly, a password may be used the same way as a save state in alternative to leaving your system on for a prolonged time, and I actually think that to be a more punishing and fitting alternative as it removes your score.

World 6.

>>353525
>>353637
>>353753

Stop. This thread is better without needless shitposting.

>>354069

I don't see anything in the wiki about not dying or not continuing. I feel like you may be the same troll as earlier.

>>354834
>he says as he shitposts in response to 2 hour old posts

>>351835
I have conquered the future. feels good. this game was short but unforgiving and cruel as shit. I'm glad it's over.
