/vr/ - Retro Games

Valkyrie's Adventures are back.

These black ogre assholes always kill me. Fuck.

>>402886
I rolled...Laser Invasion

Seems to be some kind of flight sim

>>402936
a good one. That's a Konami game and one of the rare MMC5 carts.

My 3 days are almost up and i can't for the life of me make any progress in that turd.

Rolled Zombie Hunter. Apparently it's been translated by someone named BigMike. Seems interesting.

Generic Platformer #9,388,190

>>402906
Ok, I found a boat in a treasure chest. Now I can finally get off this stupid first continent.

(killed five seconds later by some black crocodile asshole shooting at me, wtf)

I rolled The Legend of the Ghost Lion.

>>402980
Got to a new continent. Just BARELY found and made it to this house.

Check out my new wing crown. Maybe it increases my defense or some shit??

You guys have made me so proud with all your efforts, I made an retro themed mix-album for you to WIN your GAMES to.

I included a Protomen song even though they're not actually retro

I'm uploading it to mediafire now.

So I never heard of this game its like megaman but with a witch but with the difficulty ramped up way to high so its just frustrating instead of fun especially these bastards

>>403104
and here's the track list

>>403110
play the Japanese version known as Magical Doropie, it's ten times better. Better controls, lowered difficulty. They change the shit out of it when they released it in the west.

>>403120
You're right this is much better

>>403104
>>403112
Here's the mediafire

mediafire.com/download.php?5rplkoc9jkj6kkq

>>403191
There's also an english translation patch of the Japanese version, not that you really need it.

Though I do understand some of the changes

>>403072
Looked online for a manual. Realized I was using an outdated, inferior translation patch. Fortunately, I can just copy over my password.

Unfortunately, the password is long as shit, and it doesn't let me keep my items. Oh well, they weren't that good anyway. I'm early in the game, and I got to keep my EXP.

There. Doesn't that title screen look better?

I opened up the Japanese ROM and saw that the title was in Japanese characters, so the translation team responsible for "Valecule" has to be seriously retarded.

>>403245
eh, i'll be okay
also thanks for the mix

Rolling for SNES...

>Your game is "Dream Maze - The Kigurumi Adventure"! Now go play it

It's a fan-translated game. Let's hope that doesn't fuck me over in the end...

>>402989

Easy game, but fun. Kind of a JRPG training wheels game.

>>403505
Forgot my image lol

>>403268
HOLY FUCK

I'VE MADE IT TO

WHAT IS THIS

SOME KIND OF *DUNGEON*?

THANK GOD

THIS GAME WAS REALLY GETTING TEDIOUS AND MONOTONOUS

>>403438
This seems like it's going to be a very silly game.

>>403508
Uh, shit. I need a lamp to see and I didn't bring one. And now I can't get out.

FUCK

>>403515
Um.... I was not expecting a first person dungeon crawler.

>>403520
I found an exit. I emerged on the first continent.

What a fuckin' pain in the ass. I guess I'll take my ass to the inn and try again.

>>403521
I think I'm going to need some graph paper...

>>403534
All right. That's better.

>>403561
So I don't have any graph paper, but I might be able to manage with some online grid boards and a little mspaint. Does anyone know of any dungeon mapping software? That would be really handy.

>>402989
I've made it to the third town, it's pretty good so far.

>>403679
Hm.. I guess I won't need graph paper.

>>403637
>
My last few attempts didn't go very well. Now I have a cape, a crown, I'm level 6, I have THREE of the potions that I can use multiple times, and TWO lamps. Fuck you, dungeon, you're getting crawled this time.

Saturday Night Slam Masters for Genesis is down. Unlimited continues made it pretty easy, but fuck. Without knowing how to pull off any special moves or how to reliably grab an opponent, this was tough. And once you complete the circuit, the game makes you play through it again before you get the real (lame) ending screen!

>>403859
I saw a sword in the water, so I went to get it. It was identical to my current sword, but I figured I might sell it later.

I drowned. I fucking drowned in the water.

Come on, Valkyrie. I understand needing a boat to cross the ocean, but you can't fucking swim?!

FUCK!

I though selling my boat would be fine, because I needed the inventory space and money, and I could always pick up another.

FIVE HUNDRED NINETY NINE US NIGGERS

I rolled Esper Dreams 2. Seems like a pretty cool action RPG game so far. Story-wise it's kinda like Earthbound meets the Pagemaster; a boy with ESP has to go into magical book worlds.

The first world is a little port town that's overrun by monsters. In the field you walk on a grid, but when you bump into the monster footprints moving around the screen you get transported to a battle field to fight them.

I currently have Lisa following me. She walks around the battlefield and throws knives in four direction, and sometimes she sings and causes all the enemies to freeze in place.

>>403898
Aaaaand I fucked up AGAIN.

See that floor? That's spikes. I walked all over them without realizing, burned through a potion, and then died anyway.

This game is just full of fun new ways to die.

>>404000
Died in THE FIRST FUCKING ROOM.

My fucking crown disappeared right away, and I died before I realized what was happening.

Why did my crown disappear? I don't fucking know. I've had crowns for way longer and they were fine, so either an enemy stole it from me, or the crown breaks at random. Thanks, Namco!

If you don't have a crown and a cape, you're FUCKED. The enemies will gang rape you to death in an instant without that defensive bonus.

Fuck this game with the fury of a thousand suns.

>>403824

This seems like a pretty interesting game so far. There doesn't appear to be any experience or a level system, but I can get different animal suits by beating up certain animals which increase my stats. But I can only change outfits in a changing room, and if the suit doesn't fit me (my character wears a size M) I have to go to a tailor to get it fitted.

Also, the currency is candies.

>>404064
Having to sail all the way to this little island to get a new crown every time I die is also pissing me off.

I have a plan, though...

>>403970
So turns out I've gotta go underwater to find the Light, but I also need a scuba suit. I saw one at Lisa's friend Wendy's house earlier, so I go back... And she's gone and locked the door. I had to backtrack to the docks to get the key off her.

Once I got the scuba gear, the town went dark and got infested with monsters. I headed back to the dock and went underwater... Somehow Lisa can follow be despite there only being one scuba suit, but I'm not complaining since she comes in handy. Unfortunately there are some enemies that hide in their shells and become invulnerable and she can sing and freeze them like that for a few seconds which gets a bit irritating.

>>404102
Here I am at the inn, with a crown and cape in my inventory but not equipped.

I'm going to depart, put them on, get the key from the monster guarding the river, go back east and grab the potion there, then go straight to the dungeon with a full inventory without stopping at the inn.

That way, if I die, the crown and cloak will still be in my inventory.

Fucking bullshit game, making me meta-game like this.

World 7 cleared
now to finish up World 8 and 9

>>403820
I've played for long enough today, so i'll continue with my adventure tomorrow.

>>404082
Hmmm... I have the patch for this. I think i'll give it a play later.. seems decent enough

>>404139
I still love that world map

>>404138
I actually managed to explore a bit more of the dungeon this time.

I managed to find:

-Dead ends
-Another crown (useless)
-A path that looped back on itself

I guess I'll skip those areas next time!

I'm new to /vr/. What exactly is the Gauntlet? Do we just play games until we beat them, then they get marked off on the wiki by whoever beat it?

>>404129
I explored underwater a bit, plundered some treasure and found the way to get the Light back... But there were actually two entrances into the water at the docks, leading to different areas. I decided to investigate the other one before advancing.

I came across some more gold and a Bazooka weapon. It's more powerful and has a longer range than my crossbow, but it only allows one projectile on-screen at a time so if I miss, there's quite a bit of downtime before I can fire again.

I also found a coral reef with a herb and an ominous message. After I get the Light back and have this Baku guy power it up again, it looks like I'm going to have to return there to find this "Seadra" thing. I smell a boss coming.

>>404214
Oh, no. I was wrong about the boat. You CAN'T use it indoors. Going into this little puddle drains your health fast until you get out or die.

Hrmm... well, fuck getting that sword, then.

It's weird, though... I'm pretty sure I've explored everywhere in the dungeon, and I didn't find anything other than a suspicious-looking engraving of a pegasus. I'm going to quit wasting my time here and explore more of the second continent.

>>404279
RTFW

>>404082
Found a Cockle Doodle Kigurumi. More defence and a special fire attack. The combat is getting really stale. Hopefully I'll be able to get more party members soon.

Floor update:
Candy Tower - 5F

>>404326
screenshots so tiny.... resize them to about 2-3 times size if you cant. if not it's cool I can se it sorta

>>404308
Uh... what the fuck is that

It looks like he enemy I just killed, except it's green

I hope it's not important, because I can't reach it.

>>404326
Whoa! I guess I can use up one candy (the currency) to gain 10 hp. considering my max hp is 100, this is a pretty good deal!

>>404405
I guess that's just the screenshot resolution on zsnes. I couldn't find a way to increase it in the emulator, so I'll just manually do it before I upload.

>>404307
So I return to the coral reef and the Seadra appears. This boss battle isn't too hard; his two heads (or there's maybe two of them, who knows) pop out of howls and he shoots a spread shot, while his body appears randomly around the arena blocking my path. Every few hits he disappears and tries to hit me with a wave that covers the whole screen, but it's easy to dodge unless you're unlucky and his body gets in the way.

After a while he finally goes down and I've completed the first world. Onto the second, which takes place on... a train that's travelling through time and space?

>>404534
My fire special attack apparently costs 10 hp to use, but it's insanely overpowered so it's totally worth it.

>>404517
I am done with this garbage bullfuck piece of shit.

I don't know what to do or where to go. I try to explore, but I keep fucking dying, and starting over at the beginning of the first continent without a crown or cape each time is really starting to piss me off.

I can't take it anymore.

I have failed at yet another NES game. Maybe one day I'll beat one...

Practiced yesterday and I'm confident I can reach the goal of 100 level clear this evening.
Reached the boss on my first continue!

>>404931
Yes!

>>404967
Halfway done!
Time to focus.

Mah nigga

>>404760
Found an item that increased my max health to 110. I kind of got lost on 6F... Need to find a map store and a changing room so I can get into my new panda outfit.

>>404792
You should see if you can find the game's instruction manual. That might give you a better idea of how the game works. Maybe.

>>404989
These guys suck.

>>404626
The train conductor and an arms dealer find a threatening note at the back of the train and are attacked by monsters that escape from some crates. I decide to ask around to figure out what the hell this train is all about.

After that, I go and investigate some rooms. I get into an annoying encounter with some small blue bug things in one room. They're small, they're fast, they multiply when they get hit and they're fucking invisible half the time.

Then I save the conductor Aram from some blue chocobos that turn out to be a real bitch to fight because they charge at you the second you're parallel to them.

>>405112
Whelp, back to square one.

>>405045
It would be in Japanese.

>>403245
>mediafire.com/download.php?5rplkoc9jkj6kkq
went to download the file and permission denied

>>405042

>>405242
Odd, mediafire must be blocking it for some reason.

I'm going to re-upload it on 4shared

>>404191
maybe if I can figure out how to make fceux take bigger screen shots I could try my hand at making it a wallpaper for you if you are interested, I've never done that before though

>>405135
This old geezer is pretty useful. He blows a whistle to freeze enemies like Lisa's singing does and he throws an endless supply of hats at nearby enemies. If he wanders close to someone he'll essentially barrage them with hats until they die or get away.

I save the arms dealer and buy some better armour and some mines from him. The mines are very powerful but they're short range, so you need to be pretty careful with them. I also got the "Esper Eye" that lets me see invisible enemies, making those little blue buggers less of a headache.

The train stops at Station One, which is also crawling with monsters. We meet the boss, who claims that all this trouble is because of a "Rikki", an evil prehistoric rabbit that wants to use the space-and-time-travelling train to save his species from extinction, which I take it is a bad thing.

He double-backs on us so it's back to the train.

I reuploaded the first MUSIC TO WIN TO compilation to those interested because mediafire is being a dick.

SNES
GB/GBC
Megadrive/Genesis
Turbografx16
DOS
NeoGeo
GBA
Commodore 64
Playstation 1

You have three days to complete the game without assistance (each game gets three days, though RPGs are allowed a week due to length).

Select your system here:
http://s3kr.it/gauntlet.html

You can also do it manually if you don't trust the random number generator:
http://s3kr.it/systems/

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

For games that have a high score or no end, the rule is
>if no high score has been established, set a goal and beat it
>if you.re playing something another anon already has a high score on, beat their high score

NEW RULES/GUIDELINES TO POSTING IN THE GAUNTLET THREADS:

-Do not post screenshots every other screen, make them few and meaningful
-Do not start a new thread before current one bump limit is exceeded

>>404792
You basically got just as far as I did with the game before I gave up.
On strategywiki there was a "how to play" page (http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Valkyrie_no_Bouken/How_to_play)), which should be fine to read without looking at the walkthrough.

>>405045
Floor 8... Still fighting pretty much the same enemies. Haven't found anything cooler than the panda outfit. Still no new party members. No signs of bosses. Little signs of fun.

>roll pyramid two weeks ago
>beat it overtime, rolling nes again
>roll tetris

I just wanted to play video games.

>>405575

I forgot the difference between A type and B type can someone enlighten me?

>>405458
>Ugh, a giant rabbit attacked me...

That's not something I'd be willing to admit, personally...

After chasing Rikki around the train a bit (and fighting lots of those damn blue chocobo things) he starts detatching the cars. There's also two dark rooms that, once illuminated, reveal all these glass boxes with... things inside them.

Some explosions later and the boxes are gone, with a new enemy type emerging from the: the chameleons. They teleport around the battlefield, firing spread shots and trying to hit you with their tongues. They seemed a bit annoying at first, but then I realise if I just placed a mine on top of where they are teleporting to, the mine itself will keep hurting them until they die almost instantly.

I meet a shadowy figure who's probably a foreshadowing of the final boss and then I have to jump on the express train after stopping at Station One again.

>>405593
A type has better music.

>>405593

What do I have to do TO GET A FUCKING LINE PIECE

>>405168
Finally!

>>405627
I am going to fuck your score up.

>>405627

PRAY FOR ME, TROOPERS.

>>405770

Bleh, the NES isn't fast enough, 98 lines. I still get the ending screen so YAY NEXT GAME.

>>405770
From the gauntlet wiki:

>>405789

>>405659
Boss 2!

>>405805

>implying that isnt hacked

The controls are too slow for level 9. I was at the bottom of the pit before level 9 and as soon as I got to 9 it just fucked up, I was making line by line to attempt to get to 99.

>>405828
Fucking fuck! This fucker is hard.

>>405832

>>405614
A short train ride later and we're at the next station. I buy an Angel Tear (dunno what it does) and some Devil's Perfume (apparently Rikki hates it) and catch up to the train. Then it's VS Rikki in a random starfield that appears out of nowhere. He looks a lot cuter than his field sprite suggested...

Rikki's main tactics are throwing explosive carrots at you, teleporting and stopping time, at which point he will attack you while you're defenseless. He also surrounds you with a wall of weird clock parts so even once you're out of the time-stop, you're still stuck in place... Unless you blow yourself out with mines.

Yeah, I found out those craters the mines make aren't just for show and can be used to destroy barriers. Also I've noticed that you can sometimes randomly uncover a red chest on the battlefield with them that has 500 gold in it. Quite handy.

Rikki is trickier than the Seadra, but he went down much quicker; I got him stuck in a pattern where I lay a mine on him, then he hopped towards me, then I lay another mine on him. After doing that for only a few seconds I had him beat.

So the passengers are saved, Rikki's evil rabbit race doesn't get resurrected and I've finished another level.

>>405842
Somhow made it...

>>405875
I'm going to pick this game up tomorrow, since I've already made quite a lot of headway so far. It's pretty good, just a little on the repetitive side perhaps.

>>405878

Fuck this cheep shit!!
Gonna take a short break, lets hope that third time's the charm.

>>405948
Forgot screenshot. (Game Over flashes, didn't catch it in time.)

>>405878
>gamegear Bubble Bobble
I realy should track down a copy of that.

>>406074
You should, it's a great port, much better than the NES version.

My lucky draw. Seeing that there is no game mode other than a single game of soccer after which you get to the main menu again, I guess I should beat the computer one time on the hardest setting.

Well, here we go, last level of the visible worlds. I'm betting that after this one another world will pop up though. I'm going to take a bit of a break and make something to eat before tackling this.

>>405805
Found the princess at the 10th floor. I fought a "boss" that was only a little bit stronger than the regular enemies on the floor. I should get to the next area soon.

>>399332
Okay, it's go time, baby. Let's get this final mission on with and hopefully not get rekt.

>>406475
After navigating a bunch of small, tight, PLANE-FILLED VENTILATION SHAFTS, I find this thing.
Am I a bad enough dude to take it out? Let's find out.

>>406542
And of course it wasn't the final boss. Thank God I have lives and a continue lying around.

I'm still playing Ys. But I'm in a limited visibility cave, so I figured screenshots would get redundant fast.

>>406473
I guess I can custom-order a suit which is made up of the suits I already have... But it doesn't tell me what the stats will be when I'm making it. I'll just leave it alone for now.

Also, I beat cake tower and had the choices between pudding tower and brick tower. I chose pudding, but the enemies are exactly the same as the previous area... pretty shitty.

>>406565

>>406698
And with that, my run of U.N. Squadron comes to an end. I'm definitely going to revisit this game, though, because it is fun as hell.
My medal is coming soon, but in the meantime, let's check out my next roll...

>GB/GBC - T2 - The Arcade Game

I've never heard of this before, and that scares me.

And now I'm officially done making these.
If there were ever to be a vol. 3 i hope someone else would do it, but yes, if you are IN THE RETRO ZONE and need some HOT TUNES TO WIN TO here is vol. 2

http://www.4shared.com/rar/ZXdsT3kh/A__vr__Motivational_Mix_Vol_2_.html

should i link these on the wiki?

>>406796
track listing

>>406726
I somehow didn't make the connection that T2 was Terminator 2. It looks kind of bland, and it isn't all that entertaining, but whatever.

>>406796
You're a good man, thanks for making these.

>>406829
The hit detection in this game is just awful. Thankfully, there's a high score, so that's my set goal. But even that looks like it's going to be difficult.

>>406473
Oh god... I really hope the walls have some kind of visual indicator if they have secret passages. I don't want to examine every wall in the fucking game.

>>406942
If the game is beatable that should be the top priority. At least that's my understanding of how this works.

>>406967
Actually, it looks like the game has unlimited continues, so that shouldn't be a problem.
It almost feels like I'm cheating out on this. I might do a Game Gear one after this.

>>407015
The game actually does not have unlimited continues, and is very uneventful. However, I did get this out of it so far, and that makes this worth the slough through it.

YAY! Four down, two to go. This boss was bullshit, he breaks into sixteen bats and swarms. 24 attempts before I finally beat him.

>>407307
Oh boy here we go.

>>406958
Got a hippo suit, which is pretty nice. I might take a break from this since it's making my eyes bleed. I really wish there was a leveling system. That would at least make all the bullshit random encounters somewhat worth while.

>>407461
That was unbelievably easy. I just had to shoot him until I got a grenade launcher power-up, then shoot him with it while he was on the ledge.
I guess this game wasn't quite as bad as I thought it was.
I think I'm actually going to take a break before I get on with the next roll.

>>405895
I said I'd pick this up tomorrow, but I decided to carry on for a bit and before I knew it I had completed another world.

The 4th (I can't go to the 3rd one... yet) is a factory level where all the villagers are living screws and screwdrivers. It's also where the difficulty ramps up quite a bit. It's more maze-like and takes a long time to get from point A to point B compared to the last two levels. The encounters are a lot more difficult too, as they consist of springs that bounce around the field, turrets on wheels that are speedy and quite hard to catch and magnets that, when you walk in between two of them, they magnetize towards each other and crush you.

Screwy is my partner. He (she? I dunno) is a bit less useful than Aram was. He throws a slow-moving homing projectile that cuts down an enemy's speed and can bounce around the room wildly to attack.

The level became a lot easier once I bought the flamethrower weapon. It's got a fast firing rate, can stun enemies perpetually as long as you keep it on them and makes short work of them at close range. Sadly the developers must have realised how powerful the gun was, so there's a section in this level where its power gets severely nerfed as long as you're there.

After finding a Hyper Circuit (that took a long time because of how long it takes to get around the level and required a lot of trial and error) a smithy made me a Thunder Gun. It's got a wider and longer range than the flamethrower, but it's significantly less powerful and has a habit of dodging smaller enemies due to its wave pattern.

...Am I getting too in-depth in some of these replies?

Righty-o, it's been a while but I'm back. I completed Code Name: Viper on the NES and Jeopardy on the SNES. GB/GBC up next.

>>407523
Best of the Best - Championship Karate

What am I in for?

>>407524
With the Thunder Gun, I head off to face the boss who has three pink screwdrivers in his captivity. The Metal God is the hardest boss so far, even after maxing out my level due to the amount of running back and forth I did. If you stand in front of him he fires dual lasers, and if he targets you with that crosshair he launches a pair of missiles with a wide explosion radius.

He's also the first boss so far to have more than one form; he removes the blue shields on his side and they hover at the edges of the screen, firing projectiles at you if you move parallel to them.

It was a close call (mostly because I stood there like an idiot and let him hit me a lot) but I eventually brought him down. And there was much rejoicing.

I also was told that the smithy could make me some "Ultimate Armor" if I brought him four rocks from each book world. I backtracked to the first and second worlds to have a look for them, and thankfully they weren't too hard to find; I talked to the townspeople to try and get hints, but instead one of them offered to trade me an object from another book world for their rock. I guess once I finish the 5th book world, finding the remaining two won't be too difficult.

Oh yeah, and what about the 3rd world? Turns out someone else finished it. Yep, some guy is standing in front of it and tells you that he's dealt with the problem, then gives you the ring that you need and some armor to boot. Allegedly this is the protagonist of the first Esper Dreams games. Quite an odd in-joke...

So I made it to Durm tower, by now I've realized that just talking to everyone possible will progress the story. The music in this level is fucking amazing. However, shit just got real!

>>407652
>I've realized that just talking to everyone possible will progress the story

You just went up a level in real life.

>>407462
I thought I was done with Cake Tower... I THOUGHT I WAS DONE!!

>>407652
Then this happens.

Well... I've played this game many times before but never got far. I know the over world is confusing, how possible is the 3 day limit on this thing without guides? I'm going for it.

>>407910
I'll just roll for the sn...
oh... wait...

>>407883
draw your own map. it's perfectly manageable if you do that.

>>406445
oh, looks like I was wrong, end of game

>>407920
well what a polite bad guy, inviting me to his castle and all

>>407938
and to his castle I go.
at this I think I'm going to go to sleep.

>>407921
Makes sense. Just got this, so that is more progress than I ever did before.

>>407883
>>407921
I finished this back in the day without a map or guide.

The world is never that open.. there's never more than 2 or 3 routes open at once, so you can explore in a systematic way.

>>407737
Do... do I get a party member finally??

>>408027
Yea... don't know what I thought was confusing about it. I think I fell in the water and said fuck this when I played it before.

What happened with the guy playing Secret of Evermore?

>>408039
Freaking finally got a new party member! Hopefully this will liven the game up a little.

Told I need grappling hook, spend 5 min figuring out that holding up activates it, climb up tower, reach top of bullshit tower where two satans proceed to push me off non-stop only to be told I need to find 5 things that aren't that door. Good start.

>>408289
We are fucking adorable now.

Made it through forest and found the guardian or something. Haven't tried to attack it yet, I'm expected it to be easy since it looked slow.

Rolled Shockwave
Gotta admit, looks pretty cool
I'm really liking that menu music too

Learning how to use the pulley was definitely a leap of faith. I'm sure this would be easier with an instruction manual, but this is much more fun. Also, I've never been happier to find a full heal room in a game before.

Wow
The space cloud is making a horse
I can't tell if it's beautiful or...?

>>408430
wat.

>>408701
Alright, haven't updated since I got the coat of arms. Don't know if it does anything other than get some old men to give me potions. Can't complain about that either. Think this will be the fifth boss before I got to the big bad end, cruising along and should be done this game tonight.

>>409092
Got the flute! Which I believe will be the final final fight? This game wasn't as long as I thought it was in my head... Very enjoyable actually.

>>408786
Ugh... I'm stopping here for now. Day 1 complete and I'm at floor 10 of pudding tower. I'm assuming there's 1 additional tower after I finish all three, so hopefully I'll be able to finish this tomorrow or a little bit into day 3.

Good night and good luck, fellow gauntleteers!

>>409661
Good night!

>>409302
Ok, well that last boss was a bitch. Just rushed him with my potion and killed him because his attacks were everywhere. I did get this wonderful ending however. That concludes NES and I will continue tomorrow. Good night.

Managed to beat this guy last night. After reading his stats in the instruction booklet (anything that would be packaged with the game is fair to use), I realized why he was so tough. 3rd fastest serve of the game, and high stats across the board. After going to another town to upgrade my gear, I had to pretty much trick him into bad shots to win, and pray he faulted on his serve because I couldn't return most of them and his second serves were more cautious,but still faster than most of the NPC's I've faced so far.

For my troubles,I get a pearl. Onwards to reclaim this land from the clutches of the evil tennis King

>>405207
lol damn Valk your playthrough was getting me stoked as fuck.

>>409967

Lousy positioning on my part is costing me bad. He's actually easier that the last guy. His serves are still bullshit fast, but he faults more and is easier to lure to the side. I'm just derpin it up real good

>>410092

And defeated 6-4. Much easier to win. Apparently there's another court to the east, so I'm going to go there next.

I rolled Sqoon. How fucked am I? Oh well here I go!

Made it to level 2. So far its not so bad except I keep dying from running out of fuel. Don't know what fills up my fuel yet.

>>410132

Well that was easy. 6-3. Actually a step down. Anyway, according to an PC there's only 6 courts in this land, and that was number 3. I'm off to the next town, see if I can't wrap this up.

Also, here's some of the faces that you see repeated over and over

>>410202

Oh shit the random encounters have powerful serves. I was right near the next town too.

>>410245

Made it to London by just running from everyone. Had just enough money to upgrade to the B Racket. I've had to change my play-style a bit because oh lordy is this thing powerful.

After a break... I pick my new NES game. THQ will always be my bane.

>Your game is "Grand Master"! Now go play it

>>410293

Aaa, it's in moon! Time to see if there's a patch.

>>410284

Ok, got the hang of it. You need to be more precise with your serve timing, but it's a lot faster now, and aces are possible.

Also, hitting up high is a real danger if you're not careful. Just found another court, so hopefully this boss will go down easily enough

>>410312

Much better. This... intro is actually pretty cool for such an old game. It appears to be an RPG, so a week for this.

>>410338

O-Oh. Stage select. Where... where do I go?

>>410345

I went to the castle first. There's some background behind it.

FUUUUUU
who ever designed the levels in this game is an evil evil person
(no help please)

>>410190
ok, fuck this game I can't get passed lvl 2. rerolling.

>>410359

Definitely an RPG, but I died super early on. We'll try another place. This is the TOWER. Don't mind the screenshot numbers, I took some junk shots.

I have no idea where the hell I can find a cutthroat trout, I don't even know what it looks like and there doesn't seem to be one in the fishing memo.

>>410374
Fuck yeah RCR! This one is gonna be fun!

>>410327

I feel kind of bad: she was the easiest match so far. This new racket is pretty boss. There's a maze in the mountains coming up, so here's to getting lost, then losing ad having to start over

>>410385

Even though I died, I kept my level and EXP, but not my items. This game seems... unusually fair. Also my sprite is pretty badass. My sword swings longer than my body, this can probably be used to my advantage. I haven't seen what kind of spells there are, but MP regenerates with each enemy you kill.

We'll see what this game has for us.

>>410396

Enemies seem to come in a few types. These broccoli demons take a lot of hits and don't do much, but can swarm. There are monsters that charge you upon seeing you and monsters that throw shit at you upon seeing you.

>>410403

Suddenly... Wizards. They... don't do much.

Just ran into this bitch named Roxy.

>>410429
Need a little money? Go up, right from where you are standing in that screenshot and beat the two boss fags.

>>410420

Oh. A boss. I'm not sure about this...

>>410459

He has 90 HP. I do 2 damage a hit. Something tells me I'm not meant to fight him yet.

>>410464

Tried the tower again. I have a motherfucking hookshot now. Awesome.

>>410469

The tower boss was easy, but too fast-paced to screenshot. I'm now in the PYRAMID and I found MY SISTER'S AMULET. Maybe she was a hero too?

Nah, it's Japan. That can't be it.

>>410398

Motherfucing maze took forever. Between getting trned aorund and losing matches....

At the very least, I've gotten a lot of practice in against returning fast serves. Turns out that although you can buy better gear, and it's much moire useful, you need to be good to use it. Your timing and positioning has to be pretty spot on otherwise you'll lob a ball too far or Fault on Serve. Anyway now I can go over water, so to the next courts

>>410697

Well that was way too easy. The random encounters I've been facing were tougher than that.

Anyway, 5 down, one more to go

>>410742

Just noticed I didn't post that pic

>>410750

And that's the last of the henchmen. Those pearls I've been collecting are apparently to trade for a magical tennis ball. Sure, why not

>>410796

Oh it's on now motherfucker

>>410808

And it's done. Without his regular serve he's just a tough, but regular opponent who can rally really fucking well. The ending scren is really lackluster; it'll be up on the wiki.

Rolling for DOS

>>410863

Well, it would if I weren't having trouble with the wiki.

Anyway, here's my DOS game. Once again, no clue what I'm getting into

>>405961
Back after a longer break than I expected, last chance.

>>404163
I'm back. I'm going to grind for the whip because it's price should mean it's OP.

>>410936
Well, reached my personal set goal of reaching level 100 in 3 days during a single playtrough.
No way to tell the score since it's displayed on the pause screen and the game doesn't allow you to pause for some reason during boss fights.
If I ever re-roll it on another system I'll play for score instead.

>>411042
Neat, rolled Mickey Mania on the Genesis, the second best Mickey game on the system, or so I've been told.

>>411042

>satisfied with reaching level 100
>not autistically driven to COMPLETE level 100

I couldn't live with myself.

>>411090
The boss is almost impossible to beat if you don't have a 2player partner, and I'd require more than three days to beat him.
Furthermore, the game loops.

I rolled the kind of awesome sounding DEATHBOTS. I also found a something awful review of it when looking for the rom. Promising!

>>411152
This is not as rad as it seemed...
Awkward controls, perspective and kinda dull...
Still, I shall soldier on...

>>411176
Boss attack! Amusingly features two frames of animation. Fight on, protag-kun!

>>411186
Apologies, I know I'm posting a lot... but I believe this was kind of a moment that needed to be shared, a stage later. That doesn't look like a Deathbot to me...

Last time on Esper Dreams 2: I retrieved the Holy Light of the Lighthouse from a giant two-headed sea monster, stopped a prehistoric rabbit from using a magic time-travelling train to revive his evil race and saved three pink screwdrivers from the Metal God. All in a day's work.

Now I'm onto the final level (although there's probably going to be something after this one, I'd assume). Two big ogre god things want a mirror that will revive an evil monster on top of Mount Crystal. I've gotta catch the guy who's got the mirror before it gets delivered, I think. I also meet with Starry, who looks like he hopped right out of a Kirby game. Who couldn't love that face?

>>411391

>Flamethrower

>>411207
Ultros' deranged step brother.

>>410386
I finally found one! It only took a billion years!
Turns out there's probably only one or two about at the bottom of the stream.

>>411668
Oh man I remember trying my very hardest to get one of those as a kid and when I finally did the feeling of accomplishment was phenomenal.

>>411668
>>411781
Thanks man.

Anyways, I'm at lake 1 now. Apparently using the raft takes up your HP, which caught me out. Also, apparently I'm gonna need to fight a BEAR? I died to a fucking CROW!

Also, in regards to the "vampire" I ran away from, it took out 2/3rds of my HP in the first attack.

>>411847
I actually meant to write a guide on this game back on /v/'s wiki years ago and never got around to it.

http://vsrecommendedgames.wikia.com/wiki/Legend_of_the_River_King

>>411638
Yeah, I picked it up in the factory world. Completely annihilated most of the enemies there, except one section where I think the developers realised how easy it made things and had its power severely nerfed.

>>411391
I bought some new armour and a "Stardust Gun" at the shop. The Stardust gun has a good range and is extremely powerful, but the shots are kind of slow moving and you can only have one of them on-screen at a time. It's kind of like a souped up version of the Bazooka I got in the first level.

Starry is a pretty cool companion to have around. He will periodically summon shooting stars that cover the whole screen and will orbit around you like a shield. Both of these attacks aren't very damaging, but they're useful for keeping enemies in place with their hitstun and letting you line up your Stardust shots easier.

This level is probably the most complex yet. The factory was big and a bit confusing, but this one is full of branching paths and interchangable corridors so it's hard to keep track of where you are. The enemies do a lot of damage and some of them can be a real bitch to avoid, so even at max level they drain my health like crazy if I'm not careful.

I find Kihachi, the guy with the mirror, but he falls down a hole and needs a rope ladder to get back out. Luckily I bumped into a guy earlier who had one just conveniently sitting next to him, so I backtrack (and get lost a lot), grab it and go save the shmuck... Only for him to run away with the mirror anyway. I'm starting to hate this guy.

>>411847
Oh shit...

That bear wrecked my shit...
Of course, that WOULD happen if you tried to punch a bear.

>>411941
You have to hit him mainly in the head

>>411941
Just jump on its back, and when it opens its mouth stick your fist down its throat. It'll be distracted from that for a couple of seconds so use that time to bits its jugular. remain in that position until the bear dies.

>>411908
After chasing Kihachi to the summit he goes and hands over the mirror to Raijin and Fuujin. Then I'm sent on a rather annoying fetch-quest of sorts: I consult the head priest who tells me to go see the old man Sanpe, and then Sanpe tells me to meet the owl Gorosuke. I meet with the creepy looking bird and he gives me an item to use at a special gate that will lead the way to the castle in the heavens.

The game actually has an option to speed itself up, so that made walking around so much a lot easier. Unfortunately it speeds up the enemies in encounters too, but if you're familiar with their patterns (or don't mind brute-forcing your way through) it isn't too difficult.

I climb the castle (it's a bit of a maze, but I actually found the correct route on my first try completely by accident... it wasn't so easy trying to remember it the second time though) and find that Raijin and Fuujin were possessed. They apologize and I meet the Starry's mother the Queen, who tells me all about the monster Gira Sozan that the mirror will release.

So yeah, I go fight him and he completely demolishes me in his second form. His first form is quite annoying as he floats around, throwing projectiles in 8 directions and regularly stopping time so you can't avoid him crashing into you. Then comes his second form, where he either throws a big red energy wave at you when you stand beneath him or fills the screen with almost unavoidable lightning if you stand anywhere else.

The rematch goes much more smoothly after turning the speed back down and spamming my barrier ESP move, which makes me completely invulnerable for a pretty small energy cost.

>>412541
With all the levels completed, a mysterious staircase appears in the library hub world... But before going down, I backtrack to two of the other worlds to pick up the remaining two rocks I need to craft the best armour. A bit of item trading later and I've got it. My level is maxed and now my inventory is complete.

I go down the staircase into a weird temple where I meet this... interesting character. He's the strongest partner by far, as he calls down lightning on enemies above or below him and turns into a fiery dragon and collides with them when they're to his side.

I fight some rematches against Seadra and Rikki, and then a plot twist: the evil looking monster man was actually a bad guy! He swipes my rings and leaves me to fight the Metal God alone.

Time for the last confrontation. The Dream Destroyer starts by just teleporting around the room and letting his shadow guys do the work for him. He's immune to all weapons except my ESP Beam, but otherwise he's a pushover.

Now onto phase 2...

>>412808
The Dream Destroyer's second form is a bit tougher. He mainly launches four projectiles that react differently depending on what form he's in. He cycles through faces based on the four bosses before settling on this four-eyed monstrosity which fires lightning from its hands and creates pillars of fire.

I've got three things on my side though: one, a huge supply of regenerative items; two, the barrier ESP; and three the Golden Gun. This is a pretty awesome weapon which launches a rocket, which then splits into three rockets, and then splits into FIVE rockets that practically cover the whole screen.

The Dream Destroyer is defeated, the rings are retrieved and everyone is happy. Cue credits. All in all, a pretty cool game. It got a tad repetitive and it's pretty easy but I'd still say it's worth playing. Onto SNES.

Day 2 of Dream Maze: Kigurumi Daibouken. The maps are starting to get a little messy. I'm hoping this is the top floor since there were only 10 floors on cake tower...

>>408779
Well, that ended quickly
Rerolling, got Hudson Hawk
Jesus Christ, were they trying to make the worst jump they possibly could?

>>412968
I rolled World Heroes 2. A fighting game shouldn't take me too long to beat, I'd expect...

I picked Janne since she's hot and has a chain sword (Ivy from Soul Calibur prototype?). I jacked up the difficulty and changed the controls, as they were set to the "arcade" setting which meant the strength of your attacks depended on how long you held down the button instead of being on separate ones.

J. Max murdered me the first time, but I made a comeback on our second match once I discovered Janne's move where she leaps forward with her sword like that. I just waited until he jumped or threw a projectile and countered with it endlessly. The same tactic brought down mini-Joe Higashi there easily.

I suspect there'll be a lot of very similar looking screenshots coming up...

>>412992
It was indeed the top floor. I walked through another "boss" and saved the second of three princesses. Hopefully I'll finish this game today.

>>413180
Next is Captain Kidd, a pirate who lives in a cave with a pile of dubloons and an undead shipmate dancing on top of them. He has the power to fire ghost ships out of his armpit.

Then I made Sakura from Street Fighter cry. I guess that's expected when some crazy French lady starts hacking at you with a sword and tells you to kneel before her.

fuck wizardry V, I can't take it anymore.
Here's my roll.

>>413370
And people have said that Street Fighter was racially insensitive. Just look at this guy. And then he's followed by a viking. When is this game supposed to be set?

Erik (original name) proves to be a bit of a challenge, but eventually I pull through because I'm fighting for a cause: to force this guy to put on some goddamn trousers.

>>413495

yeah, gonna be some upset vikings in response to this!

Well... I thought about it seriously and I guess for some scandanavian peeps showing a viking like this could be just as bad as showing a black person wearing leaves and with a bone through their nose. But how can it be all that racist if you look cool?

>>413536
I was more referring to the african guy with the grass skirt and the giant voodoo-looking mask who's called "Mudman". And while being able to summon tidal waves and lightning bolts from Thor himself is kind of cool, Erik's still just a fat guy with no trousers on.

>>413495
After killing Genghis Khan I'm onto arguably the most famous character from this series Brocken, who answers the age old question "what if Inspector Gadget was a Nazi?" Sadly I have no screenshots of his go-go-gadgets arms or elbow missiles, but I do have one showing off Janne's finely sculpted rear.

I lost to him once and his win-quote made me wonder if it was specific to Janne... but I'm assuming it's only a coincidence. I beat him in the next match, then I fight ninja-Ryu (pirates, vikings and now a ninja; now all we need is a cowboy and that's almost every cliche covered).

Then along comes Rasputin. Not content to paint the rest of the world in broad strokes, the developers have decided to just stick the mad monk himself in the game and give him the ability to throw balls of electricity and kill you with the cossack dance. All I can say is thank God he's wearing boxers.

>>413596
Final boss time with Seth... I mean N. Geegus. He's essentially the T-1000 meets Shang Tsung, so he spends most of the fight morphing into other fighters. When he wins he does his best Cho Aniki impression.

Once he's beat, lightning strikes the arena and out comes Dio, who looks like a bad guy from the Guyver. He's pretty hard mostly because my usual tactic of spamming the same move over and over when the opportunity arises doesn't work too well on him.

>>409695
Coming back to take on SNES and it is.... Desert Strike! A favorite of mine and one I actually own.

What are the rules for games like Metal Slug 3? How many lives should I limit myself to? Shoul I just try for a 1CC?

>>414196
Dio goes down and I get my ending... I've got to hand it to Janne, at least she's got goals.

I also took a screenshot of part of the credits because I like the name "Mr Horseman Yas".

>>413436
This game is surprisingly good, controls are tight, atmosphere is cool and it's platforming is nice.
Too bad I got killed on stage 3 nighttime, gonna try again later.

Gonna take another crack at my NES game, Rampart.

>>414608
>that whole ending

I'm actually laughing IRL.
saved

>>414257
I hate scuds. Those bastards launched everytime. I gotta use 3 of the most powerful missiles to bust them also.

Shingen the Ruler

I've never played before. It looks like a TBS so do I have three days or a week?

>>414451
>>414451
>>414451

well this seems interesting,any one know what im in store for?

>>415672
I think games converted to the Neo Geo have some default home settings for stuff like continues and lives. I know Super Dodge Ball gave you limited continues when I had to play it, so I'm guessing MS3 is similar.

>>415741
No idea, but I want to know how it is.

>>415756

Ah, I'm using MAME.

Fuck it; I'll just go 1cc

>>415810
If you're fine with that, I don't think it matters. I'd say 3 continues is acceptable since that's usually the default option for home conversions.

>>415782
well its hard that's for sure, either that or im doing some thing wrong, the first enemies i encountered killed me really fast

>>415741
fuck i cant seem to win one battle, is it too late to reroll?

What happened to this thread being constantly in the first 2 pages? People beat the gauntlet already?

>>416941
I demand more Valkyrie's Adventures from the dude that ragequit the game in this thread. His playthrough was boss.

>>415527
Scuds down finally after two tries of losing at the POW camp at the end. Fucking tanks. Time for next mission. How many missions are in this game anyway? I think I remember 6 being the number, maybe 8....

>>413225
Alright, I took too long of a break from this today. I'll try to get in a few more hours before I go to bed. I think this is the most boring game I've had in all my gauntlet experience. The random encounters are so much more tedious when you don't gain experience.

>>416941
Yeah, I'd love to see these threads be a lot more lively. Is there any way we could spread publicity and get some new recruits?

So I'm 3 day into this and I just reached this point. Had to complete this cryptic and poorly translated puzzle about the gates.

At least I finally know what's up with those.

>>418082
Those fucking caves piss me off. I have no idea where I'm going and only having 1 save slot is frustrating for this.

>>418335
I finally explored the entirety of those caves and got to the boss. He seems pretty strong, but can't be as frustrating as those caves.

Fuck yes! Love me some Mega Man! Lets do this shit!

Toad Man down!

>>418786

>Mega Man 4
>Not Mega Man 2

Makes a nice change I say

>>418786
My favorite of the classic megaman series. Have fun!

>>418861
seriously, fuck this section of Bright Man's level. I died many times. I beat this easily on Mega Man Anniversary Collection. Must of been on easy mode.

I've been trying to play Power Dolls for about an hour now. I say trying because the game give you o indication of what to do, what stats man what, what weapons are what, what those numbers mean, etc.etc. Goggling for the manual has only come back with 'it's not very helpful in that regard' so it's trial and error for me. Mostly error really

What I have been able to figure out is that it's a hex-based strategy game where you control an all female team of mecha pilots. This sounds awesome, but with not much to go on, I'm finding the game to be a challenge because I got no fucking clue what I'm doing. Except for dying.I'm doing that quite well.

Anyway, here's a shot from the into, sans the hammy voice acting that came with

>>419014

>Those typos

What the fuck, me?

>>419013
just after I posted the last one I finally got passed it and beat Bright Man. On to the next!

My first gauntlet! Oh boy!

>Ikari Warriors

I'm not familiar with this one. I just started it up and there's a plane being shot down... oh boy.

>>419028
remember to use ABBA after you die.

>>416984
And I'm back after another nap. I can't seem to get this mission down, but I got close last time. Lost during invading the enemy embassy.

Man I really shouldn't play videogames. I have so many assignments to do. Plus, I gotta restart at NES since I failed my gameboy game.

Ah well.

>>419028
>>419038
Thanks. Oh my god how long does this fucking level last? Does this music ever change? Boss battles? Why do my weapons suck?

>>419119

Ignoring that you can just drop back to SNES, you can reroll on Game Gear since it's a split path

>>419014

Looks like I'm getting the hang of it.

1st mission is to blow up a damn to halt advancing troops. Your 'Dolls' are split into 3 groups. The defaults are 1st Landing, 2nd Landing and Artillery. Each doll is assigned to a carrier to deliver them to the battlefield

I dropped 2nd landing into a faster plane, to use a smaller group to scout ahead and take out missile sites and see what kind of resistance I can expect. I took out 2 sites that would've damaged my planes, and just as I drew a buttload of tanks, 1st landing and Artillery show up. Which is good, because 1st landing is all my heavier attackers, who can be dropped off near the dam without needing to trek through, and spend all their actions blowing shit up.

Fingers crossed I don't screw up

>>419209
Eh. tbh, I've enjoyed the NES tier more than SNES. Looks like this is a grindy but short rpg. joy.

>>419236

Luckily I made sure that between all units I had at least 1 of everything. Smokescreens impair the nemies ability to detect you, and even if the know you're there, they have a much harder time hitting you. Also SMG's can hit 2 enemies if they're adjacent. Yay learning!

>>419241
Fair enough. Your Gauntlet run, you can do what you want

Well its has been awhile fellas. I got Kirby's Adventure on NES. Are screenshots that important?

>>419124
This wouldn't be so bad if all the fucking enemies didn't move faster than Sonic the Hedgehog.

I think I'm having fun though. I don't know how long this game is, but I assume I'm only 1/100th of the way there.

>>419389
What is it anon?

>>419389
These blue guys fidget around a lot. Kinda looks like they're dancing.
>>419395
Oh, sorry. Ikari Warriors.

Is it fine if I just play my game on my psp and take a few screens? If not I will start tomorrow same time. I have to go dig out my emulation usb.

A shooter to start off, Sweet.

>>419426
No worries anon. I remember trying to play that a couple years back and failing miserably. My skills with older games has dropped considerably. Hoping the gauntlet beats them back in to me.

>>419320

Alright, got the hang of this now. Step 2 of 3 for setting the explosives complete. I've lost 2 dolls, but I'm destroying tanks at a good rate.

Also artillery bombings are excellent if you can get your enemy to stand still long enough. Using them on emplacements has made it easier to advance forward.\

>>419428
Shouldn't be a problem

>>419426
It's kinda hard to demonstrate it with just a screenshot, but sometimes the sprites flicker and it's hard to see where the bullets are. also, half tanks.

Well, I finally beat all the robot master and onto Dr. Cossack! I'll continue this tomorrow. night guys!

>>419450

dr cocksack

>>419441
Neat. And here's any proof I can offer that I got Kirby's adventure.

>>419457
forgot image

>>419442
Red walls... what does it mean? Also, I can't get a handle on these grenades and my score is pretty abysmal. Goddamn one hit deaths.

Well, that was the easiest first boss ever

Back with more Grandmaster on the NES. My emulator crashed yesterday, so I'm back at the beginning. We'll try the Mountain level this time.

>>419471

Well, this looks promising so far. I've bundled up for this map.

>>419473

The "durable but slow" enemies are jello cubes.

>>419441

Here's some of the commands while the enemy takes it's turn.

Your 3 moves options are pretty simple. Moves hexes. It costs 2AP to move quickly, 4 for standard, 6 for safely. The quick options leaves you open to free attacks from enemy units, so only use in clear areas or in smokescreens where you can evade easier. Safely naturally makes it easier to avoid such attacks. Moving onto an enemy occupied hex initiates close combat, which is useful against tanks and if you have no weapons

Detect Enemy lets you increase your field of vision. Best left to units armed with scanners, as you go from 6 hexes wide to 11. Being able to scan wider areas means you can tell if it's safe to rush forward, or if there's a wall of tanks heading your way.

The 2 attack options are self explanatory. You have a limited number of shots with each one (took me a while to figure this one out), some attack in a radius, some are non-attacsk like smokescreens. Precise is an option that is available for single shot weapons like cannons that costs double AP but is more likely to hit.

Artillery Bombing calls down your Artillery fighter to blow shit up good and proper It takes a turn for an attack run,so your enemy can move, but if you can predict where they'll be or where they'll move to, do it, it's worth the AP.

Abandon Weapon let's you drop spent weapons to increase your Close Combat ability. Use it since having a empty weapon serves no purpose.

Transport calls in your carrier to bail you out. Useful if you're about to explode.

Activate shields brings up a shield that reduces damage by making it harder for enemies to score hits. Very useful, worth not attacking to activate.

Statistics shows you the Doll's stats, and Set Explosives is mission specific

Pictured: The beginning of the second level.
Not pictured: My goddamn face when. That was the longest level I've ever played, and it was only the first one! Am I allowed to save state and then come back and play it later, or do I have to do this shit in one go? Am I allowed to look up how many levels there are?

>>419492
Can I stop leaving off the picture?

>>419492

Save states are allowed only if your emulator has no pause function. So if you can pause your entire emulator, do that instead. I've left for work with my emulator paused in the background more than once.

>>419480

We exploded the dam, halting the enemies advance. Picked up some new Dolls to replace the ones I lost (one was listed as recovered, so hopefully I can get her back later)

Next mission is ambushing the enemy at a bridge, using air strike to hold them back. Sounds fun.

I should note the music is very repetitive and headache inducing

>>419515
That's... very unfeasible for me. Guess I'll just start over tomorrow and compile a playlist of ABBA to play to this game. Because that's all I've been pressin'.

Also, your game looks a lot more fun than mine.

>>419526

You might want to watch the AVGN video. ABBA *stops working* at one point.

>>419526

It's pretty good. Apart from the no clue part at the beginning, and the music, I've quite enjoyed it. I have an idea what shit does now, ad there's a mute button on my computer, so it's all good. Enjoying it more than my last DOS game for sure.

Also if it's unfeasible to keep it on pause for an extended period I don't see people kicking up too much of a stink about it

fuck, this shit is hard. Ive got to level 3 or area G

>>419481

The boss of this tower is a golem with a rocket punch who shoots sonic rings.

>>419549

Fuck. YES. Mazingolem Z annihilated. The throwing axes acquired earlier in the stage were helpful (they cost 1 MP a throw, though)

>>419560

...That was fast. I already found my waifu. Surely this is a jest.

>>419565

Oh. She's just in the crystal mirror I came to fine. Damn.

>>419567

Long story short (I'll stitch story scenes together in the future), I made no progress and the Devil threatened me.

>>419540
Stuff this, rerolling.

>>419584
Oh, a mario clone

>>419567

Find*. It's probably time I turn in. But so far in this desert temple I've found two things of armor which have made me blue. I'm not sure if it's damage reduction or what.

>>419592
So B is to go into a ball which is the only way to kill baddies, and A is too jump but you are vunerable to get killed when not curled up.

>>419535

Current mission is to prevent the enemy from advancing past me, to give my army time to rebuild defenses. I have 20 go 2 hours (24 turns) without 10 units getting past. I have a shitload of bombers on reserve, but currently it's just 4 dolls holding the line

>>419731

...and one got damaged during transport. Fuck. Guess I'm using her to call down some Steel Rain on my enemies, because it's all she's good for right now

>>419745

Unfortunately Grenades are very limited, because they're area damage and powerful. Fortunately, the enemy is fond of bunching up in this mission,as they want to stay on the road.

>>419764

My first wase of 4 got destroyed just as the backup wave came in.

The enemy is pretty weakened due to sustained missile fire over the rounds. The secnod wave managed to deploy in front of the furthest tanks and mechs and is slowing them down nicely. 15 turns left though, and the enemy has a lot of units left

>>419889

Welp, failed. A lot of Dolls now sit on the injured list. However, it seems failing doesn't make you game over.

Next mission is to rescue a PoW

>>415086
Nice game.

Rolled DEATHBOTS, it seems to be a top down shooter like Smash TV. Gave it a try and got pretty far. Love the game feel! I feel like I'm playing an 80's sci-fi B-Movie.

>>419515
Wow really cute art on this. Is this a translation?

So is the plot deep at all or is it just a mecha strategy game?

>>414608
Onto Gameboy and I got this. Oh boy, an ice hockey game. I only chose Game Boy instead of Game Gear because I thought there'd be less of a chance I'd get a sports game and the randomizer coughs up this...

>>421213
Man this game is annoying. You've only got one team-mate and, unlike just about every other sports game I'm familiar with, you have almost no control over him whatsoever even when he has the puck. You can make him pass it or shoot it, but for the most part he'll just amble around wherever he wants or stand right in front of the enemy's goal when he has the puck.

My current tactics consist of scoring one goal in any way possible (mostly through luck) and then trying to hang onto the puck the rest of the match so that the other team don't get a hold of it. That equates to about five minutes of shooting at the goal constantly and ten minutes just passing the puck back and forth.

On the plus side, I think I'm near the last match of the championship.

Day 3 of Dream Maze... I made some progress in brick tower last night. Got up to the 6th floor. There seem to be a lot less NPCs here compared to the other towers, which makes it feel a lot more empty and boring. I'm hoping this tower follows the trend of the other two towers and only has 10 floors. And I hope I'm nearing the end of the game.

>>421446
Sometimes this English translation....

>>421352
And I ended up losing in the final match because they're a bunch of cheating bastards and now i have to start all over again god I hate sports games I hate them so much please fucking die

>>421526
Okay, back in the game. It's become considerably easier now that I've found out how to do a Super Shot, which is basically an instant goal if you can get the aim right (which is admittedly easier said than done). As you can see, it's made my scores somewhat more impressive.

Also every now and then a "P Bottle" appears on the rink that appears to give a speed boost... At least that's what I can gather every time the enemy swipes it because I can't work out how to use it myself.

>>421506

SUPER MEGA SHOCK

NEO GEO

>>419594

After some annoying connection issues and bedtime, I reach the boss of this dungeon. What's this...?

>>422149
The last team I have to fight are really irritating. They have a habit of attacking you with their asses just as you're about to launch a Super Shot and passing the puck by bouncing it off the wall at the very opposite end of the rink, which magically flies right back to them on the rebound. I was able to prevail however and RED WIN WOOOOOO

I've finally caught up to where I was last time. I'll roll Mega Drive later on.

>>421506
Oh shit, brick tower has more than 10 floors. Also, I'm fairly certain that the previous floor didn't have a map room. All hope is lost.

>>422382

She's not very strong and I can interrupt her attacks, but she is FAST.

>>422520

Well, that was tedious. She needed 30 hits to be downed and you can only hit her once before she'd teleport away.

;_;7

>Isolated Warrior

how do I go about this? You can't complete pinball can you?

>>422734
Go for a high score!

I've beaten a NES game a few weeks ago, I'm back to play SNES...

>>422470
This game is killing me. I've been stuck on the 13th floor for a ridiculously long time. No map room. No stairs... I don't know what to do.

>>422734
I'm assuming this is a NES roll, in which case you'd be the first to play it in the gauntlet. So set your own high score and beat it.

>>422892
It's a street basketball game. Dis gon b gud.

>>422963
>Momma said knock you out!
Look at all these games with special rules. There are only 3 players to choose from (i picked Slade).

I have never been good at pinball

>>423043
>You're going down!
>Airball!
>Get outta here!
They don't stop trash talking...

It's much more difficult than expected.

Motherfucker I had that game for PC!
It wasn't very good.

>my ball gets stolen all the time
>i can never dunk
>the other player always calls for fouls whenever i touch him
>the other player NEVER misses his shots
I remember playing this a long time ago, but now i rememer how unplayable this game was. I must reroll...

Aiigh, lets get Mickey Mania on the Genesis over with.

>>423603
Don't do it man. It may look like a fun kid's game but it slowly devours your soul without you even knowing. That fucking game is why I have anger issues 20 years later.

>>423603
Love the animation, the soundtrack, the way the first stage progresses from black and white to color.

>>423625
Don't worry, I used to play and beat it regularly as a kid. The fact that It popped up randomly this gauntlet was truly a luck of the draw.

>>423690
Forgot screenshot.

Sounds intresting

>>423713
NES by the way

>>422613

Well, this place looks cheery.
