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 or image limit is exceeded

Finally, I reach the castle after finishing the other levels. The boss of the tower, and the last dungeon I did, was Medusa. Apparently beating her up causes her to turn into a naked girl.

Well, this is a montage of bullshit right here. Except for that last picture, my pink tank is awesome. If only its weapon didn't suck.

I didn't know I could hop into them until now.

>>424786
Ending as promised.
Did find Mad Doctor Mickey but missed Band Concert Mickeys.
Fucked up and didn't manage to screencap Prince and Pauper enemy retrospective during the credits roll, but oh well.

Next up, Turbografx16.
>Your game is "Blazing Lazers"! Now go play it
Sounds neat. Look forward to check that out tomorrow.

>>424871

Apparently each dungeon has an "Item" to it. The tower had a morning star (which doubled as a hookshot), the cave a magic staff, etc. This one is a sword. Time for the boss.

We pink dragons again.

>>424948

Now that I'm tricked out, he's pretty easy. The magic staff ate lots of his life and a couple clever parries with the sword and a few lashes of the morning star sent him packing.

Starting off, Here is my Nes roll.

>>424890
So these landmines have become self aware and are actively pursuing me. At least I think they're landmines... they explode when I touch em. Now that I think about it, everything I touch explodes in this game.

>>424978
So you drive around and shoot cars and stuff. You also have limited fuel. The winning music is nice.

>>424992
What are these, bees? Bats? Beebats?

Saved the 3rd of 3 princesses, and now a 4th tower (TV Tower) opened up. I really REALLY hope this is the last tower.

Also, to get through the end of the last tower, I had no in-game map on the top floor, the map was full of warp spots, and the only way to get to the end was to walk through a fake wall that looked no different from normal walls. Fuck this game.

>>424959

Holy text wall, Batman!

>>424992

It's like you're in China

>>425029
Watch out for turbo.

>>425057

Something tells me I did this in the wrong order. I think was supposed to do Castle THEN the rest of the dungeons. Oh well, we fly up to a... space station?

>>425067

Japan loves their anachronisms. How did the dragon I rode breathe? How did I breathe? Oh well.

>>425039
Hey, this level felt shorter than the first! Maybe I'm getting good at this game?

>>425058
What do you mean?

>>425029
I hate turning, its a pain in the ass

>>425082
What the actual... why do these guys look like me?

>>425073

This stage is fucking dicks.

>>425097
damn it, also, this game does have an end right?

Oh god...500 levels of boredom. Ah well let's do this!

>>425142
Is that...a condom, some eye drops, a bunch of syringes, and one of those rubber arm ties? what the fuck anon

>>425176
An ancient phone, a bunch of juice for my e-cig, and a rubber band

>>425138 so the things that the planes drop, which i have have avoided so far, are powerups? Damn, missed so many.

>>425132

Words cannot describe how much I disliked that stage. Fast enemies that could shoot through walls, at angles, and knock you off the edge just for kicks. Health was far and few. We boss rush now?

>>425186
Well that's not as bad at least.

>>425267

Oh. No, it just sends me to another part of the stage. At least it healed me.

>>425274

Alright, onto the last tier. What should I go for? PS1 or N64. I had a N64 as a kid, but my dad had a PS1. I played it less, but I generally enjoy the N64 more. So I leave it to you, 64 or PS1?

>>425279

On stage 3 of 5 of the "boss rush" I found a shield that blocks projectiles I face. Handy.

>>425334
PS1

>>425280
dang it

So Mission 3 was aborted.I ran out of time trying to find where the prisoner I'm supposed to rescue is kept, since it seems to randomize what hex he is on every turn and I ran out of time.

To mission 4 then, where I get to blow the shit out of a convoy. I think I can manage this

>>425109
I wish I was kidding when I say this, but I've been playing this level for a half fucking hour. Kill me.

>>425398
Jesus, I thought I had it bad with Gauntlet II

>>425375
I will end it here

>>425398
I can't.

>>425142
>500 levels
why

>>425454
Could be worse, I could be playing the arcade version, 999 levels.

>>425369
Alright, I got something called RC Helicopter. Getting it and the Emulator now.

>>425454
I killed the boss (I think) and now I'm getting shot at. is this game over or what?

>>425536
I think there's a secret door or something there

>>425536
I got hit by a stray bullet. I swear I mashed ABBA all I could. Why won't I respawn. Why. Why. Oh god no. This must be a glitch.

>>425561
Towards the end it ABBA stops working...yeah

>>425561
Im sorry dude, After like level 3 ABBA doesent work anymore. Btw the last level you have to shoot like the bottom let of the desk and a secret door will open.

>>425049
So I ran into the 3rd party member, but he pretty much told me to fuck off and just left... Also, I think I'm actually stuck in TV Tower 3F. I've checked every fucking wall to see if it's fake. I hate this game.

>>425567

>>425679
You lucky fucking bastard

An RPG according to pictures on coolrom

>>425679
that's what everyone here should be playing if they haven't yet

>>425679

It's not often the RNG is so kind to gauntleteers.

>>425684
>>425693
Wait, are you telling me i actually got a good game? Awesome

Level 9 and I'm already stuck...only 491 more to go!

>>425347

I've gone through this whole megastage multiple times and I still can't open this door. I'm starting to think I needed to collect a lot of things... I don't know. I think the game has just been made impossible without a guide. However, this the gauntlet, so I simply must stop.

Alright, continuing from last night after grinding Skull Man stage for full E-Tanks, we are ready! LETS DO THIS SHIT!

Alright, I went to the bathroom, come back and turns out I didn't pause the game so start from scratch

So after some mass grinding I finally beat the second dungeon of the game, which was a giant pain from beginning to end.

I now have no idea what to do.

>>425385

Nope, can't do it. I lost too many Dolls in the last 2 missions to have the firepower to beat this level. Back down to TG-16 which really doesn't make me that mad, since it never got released here so I've ever played the console before the gauntlet

>>426125

Another TG-16 shooter for me.

Will probably pick this up after work

>>425880
How the fuck am I suppose to grab this?

>>426246
Think it has to do with Rush.

>>426246

Balloon item and slide

>>426089
I found the third dungeon, was doing well exploring until WHAM, got smacked and took to jail.

Lost all my items. This is some serious BS.

>>426246
Use the balloon to float up there, then slide to get the tank.

>>426292
>>426268

Fuck me I didn't get the balloon! Goddammit.

>>426246
Balloon and slide?

>>426305
Go to DiveMan's stage and drop on the spike pit that's just before you find a mechanic whale.

The law is on pharaohman's stage and to find it you must ride Rush to keep advancing to the right instead of dropping on the giant pit that leads to the underground level.

You can use the claw to attack Wily's skull ship, btw.

>>426246
wow never saw that coming!

Starting the gauntlet again from scratch
after I let it go, and I rolled this. Sounds interesting but I know better than to get my hopes up.

>>426470
Alright you cockass. You are going down!

>>425659
I don't know what I'm doing anymore.

I give up on Ikari Warriors. I feel so ashamed.

>Cosmic Epsilon

Sounds cool.

>>426543
HOLY SHIT I LOVE GIANT ROBOTS

>>426584
I'm... awful at shmups.

>>426584

We all dig Giant Robots, friend

>>426473

From ROMHacking.net

>Mikhail Gorbachev, born March 2, 1931, was the last leader of the Soviet Union, serving from 1985 until its collapse in 1991. This game makes a joke that his master plan is actually to take over Japan and that he is going to do this by running a big oil pipeline from his oil fields in Russia to Japan.

>The goal of the game is to complete a certain number of pipes from the blue liquid on the right side of the screen to the empty pipes on left. Some stages have less empty pipes and some have less water pipes from the right. Each level contains 9 stages. Each stage goes faster than the previous stage until you finish the level. In level 1 you have to make 2 pipes. In level 2, you have to make 3 pipes.

>Two Russian children are the people who are building the pipeline. To make the pipes, you use tiles made out of groups of 2 pipe segments that the boy drops from the top. The segments contain straight pipe segments and 90 degree angle pipe segments.

Ooo... kay. Anyway, are ROM hacks cool if all they do is translate?

>>426659
And 10 game overs later, I finally get to the boss.

This is one of those games with one hit deaths, 3 lives, and no continues.

>>426703
Translations are always welcome. Especially for things that are text heavy.

>>426771

Great. Well let's download this bad boy then.

>>426759
I managed to die and game over, but then I got to it without getting hit... then I got hit twice. But that's alright because he dead.

>>426804
And now I'm a plane. Oh boy.

>>426824
...And 20 seconds later I game over'd. Dammit.

Though, I noticed I'm having a lot more fun. Ikari Warriors felt like a chore.

>>407492
Okay, that's enough of a break. I rolled my Genesis game, and it's High Seas Havoc. Sounds and looks pretty cool.

>>426790

Heh.

>>426834
Oh shit I just figured out how to continue. This game is going DOWN.

>>426849
Oh holy shit, it's a Sonic clone.
This is gonna be so fun I hope.

>>426863

Ah, OK. So it's a puzzle game played in Tetris like game field. I'm... not very good so far but I'll get a feel for the game and then shoot for a high score.

>>426886
and King K. Rool makes a guest appearance. As the antagonist.

>>426489
Mega Man 4 is done! The hardest part I had with this game is the fucking 8 robot masters at the end. Fuck Ring Man and Dive Man! Guess I'll roll for SNES now!

>>427056
Congrats man, wish I could've rolled a mega man

>>426280

YESS!!!!

I finally killed the fucking Mantis. It took me about 50 minutes to do it. I had no idea this game was gonna get harder once I reach the level cap.

The pic looks glitchy but that's just the death animation being all over the place.

>>426965

OK, starting to understand. Water comes out the green pipes on the right and you have use the pipe pieces you're given to connect the water spitting pipe on the right to a pipe on the left. When you do this a few times the stage is clear, though I have no idea what the quota is. I'm looking at a map screen now and there appears to be a set number of stages. I'll wait and see where this goes before deciding what my goal should be.

>>426991
Spikes everywhere, man. They can kill you through hit invulnerability, too.
Ugh.

>>426497
What is my life?

>>427056
Well I rolled this game. Sounds interesting.

>>427167
So in this game I'm a piece of putty doing god knows what. I attack with L and R doing a sideways punch thing for each side. Sorta strange.

>>427241
Well I made it to lvl 2 but i'm still confused. You pick up items to either help you kill guys or get you to places. The objective is to rescue red puttys in each level. Odd game.

>>425679
Lets see what awaits me outside the village

>>427317

>>427325

Prepare for extreme Mode 7 shenanigans.

>>425679
You have gotta be fucking kidding me.

>>427102
Okay, so this asshole kills you in one hit and chases you down a 3-minute level with no checkpoints, along with obstacles to screw you over.
Definitely a memorable level.

>>427310
are we aloud to look up instructions on how to play a game? I have no fucking idea what i'm doing in this game.

>>427527
If you can find the instruction manual for your game, that's allowed.

>>427434
What, are you saying that because i dont know the game?

>>427556
No, sorry, I meant I can't believe you were lucky enough to get that.
As good as it is, it wouldn't surprise me if you didn't know about it, considering it never got released Stateside.

>>427075
After a flurry of bosses - including the final one which I was led to believe was the final boss - I get this message.

I'm guessing the REAL final boss is upcoming

>>427443

>>426965

It seems like a good number of Compile games have a thing for little girls.

>>427556
>>427618

Let's put it this way... It's good enough that I built a reproduction cartridge in NTSC-U format just to have one that works natively on a US SNES.

>>427645
Yay, beat my first game! Ys down!

The ending was badass; I liked the long phallic shot of the final dungeon.


Well I was excited to play some SNES, but wow...
...
Your game is "Disney's The Lion King"! Now go play it

I'm fucked.

>>427112
This game is killing me. I can't progress until I find this 3rd person, but I have looked on every fucking floor, checked every fucking wall to see if it's a fake, and I've got nothing. I don't plan on sleeping until I finish this since it's my 3rd day, but it might all be in vain... It would be the shittiest to fail this late in the game.

No pic because it would look exactly the same as all the others I've posted.

>>427728
You do know that you have like a week for RPGs, right?

>>427782
I didn't really consider this an rpg since there's no leveling system. I don't know... I was kind of on the fence and was hoping I could get it done in 3 days regardless.

>>427782
Haha poor guy was stressing over 3days and rpgs are a week long. Hey least he doesnt need to rush himself on this last night now.

>>427713

>Your game is "Disney's The Lion King"! Now go play it
>Your game is "Disney's The Lion King"!
>"Disney's The Lion King"

Oh god you poor bastard.

>>427325
Im loving this game, i really like the fighting.

>>427851
One day, I might remember to post the fucking picture

>>427815
I really just want to get this game done and over with. It's a new level of frustrating I'm not used to dealing with in games. Also, >>427805

>>427713
This feel familiar, /vr/.

Something terrible is about to happen.

>>427870
It starts.

I've tried. I can't figure out how to beat this game, so... reroll time.

>Your game is "Ghosts 'n Goblins"! Now go play it

Huh.

>>427870

Itshappening.gif

>>427971

Well, I've heard of this game. I've not played it myself though. We'll see what happens

>>428002

I have no idea what I'm doing.

>>428002

You can reroll now, or you can reroll in three days.

This will come in handy, http://s571.photobucket.com/user/acomicbookguyc/media/Terranigma%20Scans/Better%20Terranigma/Terranigmapg3637.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0

>>427527
Well, I made it to the 3rd area and its the hardest so far. I'm stopping for tonight and gonna try and pick it back up tomorrow.

>>428009

This fucking game.

>>428012

S-surely you jest. I'll beat it!

I'll probably reroll once my frustration hits critical mass.

I just want to get past NES and not have my SNES game be a fucking licensed THQ game.

About Ghosts N Goblins...

Does he have to beat the game twice to advance?

I'm not playing Lion King anymore today, by the way. Fuck that game. Not sure if rerolling back down to NES...

>>428038

This is the fastest a game has ever brutalized me. I'm making almost no progress.

>>428091

If only you knew what lays ahead... you'd succumb to eternal torment and misery

>>428091

How do you even fucking beat this guy? Out of 10 tries, this is the third try I've gotten here and it's impossible to outrun, jump over, or do seemingly anything.

Jesus.

>>428109
Keep the daggers as long as you can, anon.
At least until you find the shield, anyway.

>>428109
Just spam daggers and hope it dies before it rams into you.

>>428109

Finally. I'm not even sure if it was worth it.

>>428119
>>428151

Based daggers.

>>428162

Oh jesus what the fuck is this level.

>>427856
Some one has just left this pot cooking at night, fire hazard.

>>428167

This is getting tiresome.

>>428174
Boss battle

>>428193

Ugh. I'm out. If the controls weren't so weird and sticky, I'd be willing to try more. I can get past stage 2 I think, but it's only going to be downhill

>>428203
Now ¨the real adventure begins¨

>>428239
Im going to the new world

>>428267

>>428270
How ya loving the game so far?

>>428336
A lot, Waaay better than the other crap i rolled

>>428270
Whenever you find the Flower and the pool, not the first time, but the second, be ABSOLUTELY SURE to swim to the right and get some armor and a magirock. You won't get this chance again.

>>428359
Its a great game. I really hope you enjoy the rest of the trip. I wish I could play it again through fresh eyes.

>>428405
If i wanna finnish it in one week, how long do you reckon i should play a day? to spread it out. Unless it is against the rules of course. I have played 2 and a half hours so far

>>428423
hmm I'd say go for about 3 - 3 and a half or so. I can't remember how long it took me. But its easily beatable in a week.

>>425090

Does watching youtube let's play count as finishing the game?

well here we go, final level, and it's story time again, I'm going to go make breakfast and take a shower before tackling the final level, it looks oddly easy, but I'm guessing it's going to be like "hahahaha, did you really think I would let you get off that easy?!"

>>429614
and.... he doesn't seem anywhere near as creepy as he did when it was just his silhouette

>>429627
for comparison, this is what THE GREAT WIZARD DRUIDLE looked like earlier in the game

>>429654
yup
fualse level

>>429982
real level
they are both really easy though, just rebeating it to get the ending, didn't screenshot in time

>>426176

Time for some Shoot'em up fun. This is my second Shooter on TG-16. And I hope it'snot as bullet hell as my last one

>>430024

Well that went well. I'm blaming the sleep deprivation though.

>>429992
and... the end
there is a rather long and disappointing story section, I'll do a couple of compilation images of it later

my verdict on this game is it's a decent puzzle game that is challenging at times, though 90% of the puzzles are simple it has a way of tricking you into thinking they are more complex then they are. The ending was disappointing and anti-climatic, but it was a fun experience over all
7/10

>>430042

Once I adapted to horizontal scrolling I did better. Again, short levels with lots of bullets and enemies.

Boss was simple, fly through the obvious gaps in the bosses bullets, look out when he charges you.

Power-up in this game are:

>multi directional shot, good screen coverage
>Wide lasers, good destructing power in a decent area
>Rings that expand and cover the screen, but are weak
>Lasers that break into more lasers

I'm digging the default (yellow) and the wide lasers (green) so far.

>>430079

Forgot to mention, it also has ship upgrades. Defense pods, which damage things they come in contact with, and homing missiles. Missiles > Defense pods so far

>>430050
rolled for SNES and got Violinist of Hamelin, hasn't this game showed up a million times already though? Did S3krit ever fix the random number generator? If not I think I'm going to go to random.org and re-roll that way.

>>430087

>Based unlimited continues

It looks like I'll need them

>>430118
decided just because it's been played too many times already and no one seems to know if the site's RNG is actually random or not yet I manually did it through random.org and got this
Nobunaga's Ambition: Lord of Darkness
well... now to see what on earth it is

>>430123

And done. I'm guessing the skeletal pterodactyl thing is what the aliens I'm destroying look like. This one is annoying in that his second phase can only take damage from the top half of the sprite and moves seemingly randomly.

The scores are different because I took the first 2 caps on my first try through, but died.

>>430162
oh god NO, it's one of THESE, I HATE these sort of games, since according to the new rules I have to go back to NES and have done NES way too many times and can't reroll for SNES I'm just going to giveup, sorry but I can't subject myself to this dull garbage.
guess I'm not "hardcore" enough for this after all

>Your game is "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom"! Now go play it

Fuck me sideways

>>430170
wait... you beat the entire game in under a half an hour? how is that even possible?

>>430260

Ah,I see where the confusion is. It was done with that stage. I'm dying like a bitch on level 3. If it were Super Mario World, then maybe in 30 minutes[/spoiler

>>430207
sigh, I guess I'll read the manual and try to give it a fair shot, but either way I'm going to take a nap first.

>>430271
the confusion lied in the fact that I'm an idiot and react too quickly, after making that post I looked at the image and saw that you meant you beat stage two.

>>430279

It's cool.

By the way, I've played the game you rolled before, and I do not envy you. It might just be me, but I struggled with it

>>430305
Well, it does look overly complicated and I think these sort of games are boring even when they aren't as complicated as this seems to be, but I'm going to give it a chance anyhow. I'm regretting not sticking with Violinist of Hamelin now though

>>430218
have fun with that... I guess
the sad part of how bad most of the Tengen games were is that the company was actually Atari using a different name. They had truly seen better days.

Decided to flash my old medals from the /v/&/vg/ gauntlet days. Do we have any other veterans around here?

Shadow of the Ninja on NES huh? Sounds cool

Starting anew after Marble Madness kicked my ass. Can just tell this is going to be lovely.

>>430545
screw off with your "so hardcore" mentality
>inb4 "why do the gauntlet if u ain't gonna be hardcore about it?"

>>432693

Where did you even get that from?

So far I've beaten Esper Dream 2, World Heroes 2 and Hit the Ice. Now I've gotten yet another "2" game, After Burner 2...

I'll be honest, I've never really played an After Burner game before. What's in store for me here?

>>430329
I just can't do it.... ugh... I've been playing this for what seems like a long time and I seemingly haven't made any progress at all... and the game never actually tells you what the other factions of Japan are doing, just that they are doing things, you have to send a ninja over to each nation seperately to get any info at all, and that has failed every time I tried so how am I supposed to know what strategies to employ when the game keeps me in the dark? The only progress I have made is selling some rice and gaining a skill point... a single skill point... everything else fails... I think Koei games take more patience than I can muster. Screenshot isn't mine but I thought it fit this situation

>>432817
Well I've tried it twice and stage 9 is as far as I can get. There's too much shit on the screen to tell when you're getting shot at or if you're actually hitting anything, and you don't get a whole lot of missiles which seem to be the only reliable way of killing anything. I even tried to play passively and just avoid all the enemy attacks, but they just overwhelm you completely.

Just started a practice run on Blazing Lazers on the TurboGrafx-16 and holy shit. Either years of sucking at inhumanly hard SHMUPS have honed my abilities more than I thought, or this game practically plays itself. Pic related, level 2 boss without loosing a life or breaking a sweat.

Finally, beat this mission after a day break. I have roughly until tomorrow afternoon to finish this game. Mission 4 currently. Hope there isn't too many more or this is going to be a long night.

>>433298
Blazing Lazers's upgrade system is a lot like Gunstar Heroes, you can end up with crazy powerful configurations. I made it all the way to the last stage (9) in my first play, and I can't even beat stage 4 in Dodonpachi regularly

>>433298
Whelp, shouldn't have implied it was that easy. Lost a life during stage 3.

>>433405
Lives are gained as quickly as they're lost and the checkpoints are generous.

>>433370
Having a blast so far, might be a game I'll try and 1cc someday.

>>433537
>1cc
1life clear I mean. Won't continue if the game even has continues, it's all or nothing in three days.

>>433537
Lost my grove at level 7, died once and kept on dying at the same checkpoint.
But then again it's been a long day and I'm tired, 2 days remaining will be more than enough for me to1cc Blazing Lazers.

Lost my grove at level 7, died once and kept on dying at the same checkpoint.
But then again it's been a long day and I'm tired, 2 days remaining will be more than enough for me to1cc Blazing Lazers.
>Practice run score:
1683820

>>433364
Ok, so 4 missions was the answer. That game was shorter than I thought. SNES - Desert Strike beaten. Also, what does everyone use for screen shots? The in game emulator ones, windows, or what?

>>434974
Next game, GBC - Tasmanian Devil: Munching Madness... I have no fucking clue what this is.

>>427870
So I'm back and I've pretty much mastered the first 2 levels. I can reach level 3 with five lives consistently. I have four on the screenshot cause I fucked up.

I don't know how much harder it gets from here; i never beat level 2 as a kid.

What are the hardest levels, /vr/?

>>427325

I figured the box was responsible for the world outside the gates being a ruined hellish wasteland but nope... it was already like that. The ceiling should have been a clue.

>>430170

Dear god level 3 is a pain. Loo at the top shot. fucking look at it. There is no way to pass though without getting hit, which costs you a power-up level. There's a Yellow right after it though, and it's ability to fire behind is much needed, so that was what I went with.

After dying 3 times to the boss, finally beat him. He leaps up, and lands on eith erside, so just stay in the middle, then fly back and shoot down the missiles and dodge the regular bullets. His weak spot is his ribcage, which is what drags the fight out when you spend most of your time evading.


Next level is inside the moon.

>>436006

After the madness that was Stage 3, stage 4 was pretty....soft. Sure I lost all of my lives but I only got through Stag 3 by memorizing everything. A lot of the tricks from the previous level repeat (sans the no-way-to-avoid-explosions thankfully) so it felt like more of the same

It had 2 mid bosses, the 2nd just a 'More Dakka' version of the first. Fly around, avoid bullets, wait for it to open up, fly up just enough to avoid the lasers, damage weak spot.

Even the boss was simple. It shoots at you. It stretches it neck to do it. You can only hit it from the front in that tiny red part. Fly above it when it gets close, then when it runs backwards, destroy the missiles before they hit you.

Stage 5 under a lake inside the moon. Let's do this

Uh, hmm.. I got "Titanic" for the NES. I guess it's some chinese bootleg.

>>436230
So, the controls are shit. 3 hits and you're dead. When you get hit, you lose a heart but.. You can pick up hearts and if you pick up enough, you'll gain your health back but it doesn't matter. if you get hit three times, no matter how many hearts you have, you'll die. So.. whatever..

Of course, there's retarded obstacles like water leaks and drops of water.

>>436107

Although the level itself is easy (there's only 1 bit where you feel challenged, and that's before the boss) the boss is a dick. His weak spot is his mouth, which is tiny, and isn't always open. He likes to charge you. So you have a small hitbox to content with, and the need to be constantly moving around.

I ended up simply spamming bombs, since you get 3 a life,because I couldn't deal enough damage with my weapon.

Next level is The Core. Final level? If so, this is a hell short game

Lookee what I got.
Playing on Hard mode at Turbo speed if it matters to anyone.
By the way, does Higan have a screenshot function? I don't want to do this MS paint shit.

>>436295
>a game about the Titanic
What? How? How the hell do you make a game out of that? If it was based on the movie, I GUESS it could be a dating sim or something but...Goddamn bootlegs.

>>436295

The first couple of levels are just straight left to right through pipe and cargo filled rooms. This is the 3rd level and relies heavily on the climbing mechanics. You can ledge grab but, of course, it's buggy and shit. The water rises on it's own but if you go to the top of the screen, the screen will scroll with you, along with the water. So, it doesn't really make any sense. Whatever.

>>436368
It's the movie I guess. You start at the car they fuck in but the ship has already begun to sink and the other character is nowhere in sight. So, it's kind of based on the movie?

>>436348
Well, this isn't bad. I rolled with the party dude.
Throws seem pretty overpowered and jesus shit, is he eating me?

>>436409
Real funny, game. This level apparently starts at the halfway point. You can go right or left and both paths are pretty long. If you go right, you dodge the same three hazards over and over and over and over until you get to the end and there's nothing. Turns out you had to go left so you have to go back through the level and then to the left where you'll find a key and then need to go back right. Which then takes you back to the level before and you need to back track through that to find the door you need to unlock.

>>436310

Yep, short game. The Boss has 3 stages.

1st Stage (not shown) just his hands. Fire occasional bullets, fly at you, easy fare.
2nd Stage: Upper Skeleton. Hit the face. He shoots fireballsthat can't hit you at the top of the screen, but his hands track you, fly at you and shoot bullets. You may lose a life you you stupidly fly down to avoid a hand and hit a fireball, or vice versa.
3rd Stage: Just the head. He surrounds himself with 4 others the circle him. First part is flying in between the gaps, second is dodging as they 4 fly at you in a straight line.

Game is done, collecting end screen now

>>436491
This enemy doesn't even make any fucking sense. It's just 3 frames of a rug jumping up

>>436459
After getting chewed out by Raph, I jumped ship.
This guy is pretty top tier. Eating people does a fuckton of damage and psycho crusher seems pretty safe.

>>436513

It wasn't my highest score, but whatever. Rollan for DOS

>>436517

I love that the Game Over screen is the Titanic sinking. Like it's my fault because I got killed by a rolling luggage

>>436535
I fought Casey Jones just before this, but was too lazy to screencap. Hothead a shit.

>>436559

Huh, Dead Moon was already beaten according to the wiki. Ah well.

Any way, it appears that I am here to jam!

alright I'm back. Right now I'm on Area 3 Stage 4.Haven't got past this level yet.

>>436572
Alright.. so you get to the deck and there's actually some npc's up there panicking. 4 actually. There's a guy with a megaphone, a guy paying a violin, a woman who runs back and forth, and a dog. What do you think you would do in this level? Why, run around completely empty life boats. Your goal is to make it to the middle of the ship where it broke in half. Why? Who the fuck knows because the next level, the ship is sunk and you hang out with the iceberg.

>>436603

At the end of this level, you climb up on a boat with some black man and the game just ends. Apparently, they lived happily ever after in the Simpson's universe.

Next game I got is Super Turrican 2.

>>436517
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a8B0aW8FnQ&t=10m37s

>>436710
Maybe that game was actually based on Rose Red. Might make more sense.

Turrican 2 is pretty neat. It's kind of feels like the european contra it is. It really sucks that you can only shoot left or right with the main weapon. You get a stun lightning gun which you can rotate around your body for some reason.

>>435179
I'm going insane on the second level. It's not a bad game, but it is a collection game. Collect 50 food items and get a coin. Also do other things for other coins. This second level... I am missing 1 fucking food item and I am at my breaking point for running around grinding infinite life and dodging australia.

>>436785
Oh boy. Sure is getting spooky around here.

>>436597
I finally passed that level and after a bit I'm now on Area 5 Stage 1. Also it is new scenery instead of mayan shit. I'm in some laboratory.

>>436790

Ah, ok here we go. All levels before this one weren't even worth mentioning. But this rad ass mother fucker right here. Grapples a plane and swings from it while defeating enemies.

>>436589

Currently filing to actually find the damn game. I can find PSX roms all over the place, but no install CD ISO for the DOS version

>>436841
Then the plane drops you off on some fucking jumping-in-mid-air sandworms and you have to jump from sandworm to sandworm and they jump in and out of the sand. Really cool actually.

Whoops, rerolling since Sweet Home was already beaten. So, it's Deja Vu now.

>>428423
One step closer to bringing this world back to life.

>>436847
The boss of this level is the tongue of a sandworm. The worm is constantly rotating and you have to watch out not to fall off the sides of the mouth as well as dodge venom of this thing's teeth.

>>436887

>>436879
Sounds like my type of guy.

About to get into sega,

what to start with?

pic related Titles I enjoyed from Super Nintendo

>>436927
I wake up in a motel room with dried blood on my palm but no immediate wound where the blood might have come from. There's a puncture wound on my forearm and I question to myself, "Has a doctor injected me with medicine?"

And then I realize, I don't know who I am. You have no idea who you are or why you're here. You have no memory...

WHATSOEVER!!

>>436821
So... if I were to declare defeat on this collection hell and I went back to SNES, does my beating desert strike not count?

>>436956

You don't magically unwin the game, you just ahve to beat a new SNES game to continue

>>436956
I would figure it counts, since it wasn't the one you failed.

>>436951
Besides the role of toilet paper next is my brown trench coat. It has seven coins, a lighter, some gum, hanky (I assume it's a handkerchief and not a nickname for porn), sunglasses, and a wallet.

The logical choice would be to examine the wallet which contains a twenty dollar bill, an office key, and a card...

>>436896

Oh no. Not one of these stages. shiiiiiit.

>>436974
>>436976
Just making sure there wasn't some rules about being stripped of a win if you forfeit to drop back. Not forfeiting yet, but just wanted to make sure.

>>436835
Area 6 now. Now looks like I'm in a world with food.

>>437014
!!!!!11!1!1!!
All I know is I got a trench coat, a .38 special with three bullets, a gold plated lighter and a hanky with the signature initials of J.S, and an office that might belong to one Mister Siegel.

>>437058
Area 7. Damn, anyone know how long this game is?

Well I am finally going to play Kirby's Adventure. Which emulator is best? Was just using Nestopia but I wanted to check.

well here we go.

>>437220
forgot image

>>437225
Alright so at the end of world 1.

>>436885
Up to the next boss, I must free those birds

>>437267
I forget things.

>>437268
Still enjoying the ride?

>>437270
Is this bastard in like every Kirby game?

>>437285
Well that was easy.Caught me with a few puffs of air but nonetheless.

>>437268
Oh no, another one.

>>437292
Well this hardly seems nice.

>>437273
Yeah man, every area is a maze and that gets annoying, but its still pretty awesome.

>>437309

>>437310
Well maybe you can give Illusion of Gaia a chance after this. This game is like a spiritual successor.

>>437296
Sweet, now to play some dota 2 and have some food then continue this adventure.

>>437312
Meta Knight just had his gang jump me.

This will be fun.

>>437317

>Illusion of Gaia

I've never gotten around to finishing that game, thanks for reminding me I have to

>>437387
No problem. Let us know how it goes for you. I need to replay it myself.

>>437398

It won't be for a while. I've still got the Gauntlet to finish. Speaking of....

I've had no luck with finding 96.However, I've found NBA Live 95. So I'm going to play that, since it's pretty close to what I originally rolled

>>437380
Really wish there was an English patch/translated ROM for this shit..

>>437151
Area 10. Now there is only 1 stage per area for the last couple areas I was in. I'm stopping for tonight. gonna continue tomorrow.

>>437354
Well boss time once again fellas.

>>437591
I got careless but easy enough.

>>437598
Well my emu messed up somehow and I lost all my progress. Rerolling.

>>437790
And Duck Tales 2 it is.

>>433771
Back to the spot that was giving me trouble yesterday, stage seven. Been playing a bit better than on the practice run.

>>438453
Area 8 was a bitch but it rewards you quite liberally if you make it trough its bubble maze.
Still, made me use up almost all of my bombs.

>>438587
Area 9 is a crazy boss rush level where their attacks are turned up to 11.
>2nd playtrough score
3075080
Third time's the charm I guess. Will tackle it again in the evening or tomorrow.

ok here we go
>Insector X
...can't i just play the genesis version?

>>437017
So I game over'd last night and started again today. After this bike sequence there's an annoying space level where you systematically destroy a giant ship in space and fight ghosts that come out of exhaust pipes. After that there's another bike sequence which is fucking annoying. After that you get to ride some missiles which isn't fucking annoying.

>>439851
After that there's a terrifying spider boss. Also, I hate having to use this grapple hook.

Depending on which direction you push, left or right, you'll swing the opposite direction. This sounds like an OK idea until you realize enemies come at you from both sides and when you just want to turn around without swinging, you can't.

>>439869
What comes after a robo-spider in space? Did you guess an underwater stage? Didn't think so.

Actually, this level is interesting. So after you blow up the spider, you just drift off into space until some space outlaws pick you up. So this is actually a hybrid stage. There's normal space ship rooms on this ship, but then there's some kind of water traveling system. You get on this bike and travel around the water to get to other parts of the ship.

>Dungeon Explorer II
Huh. Looks a bit like chaos engine for mega drive.

>>424845
Why is Piccolo on that ima--
Wait, I think I know why, don't post that gif again.

>>439950

You get this really cool whirlpool vortex level where the whole thing never stops spinning. It's eye fuckery at its best.

>>440303
Followed by some shitty auto-scrolling water stage and then a stingray boss. After that we're up to... only stage 4.....

>>440312
Which is just a huge fuck you stage. It's a vertical shmup stage. Which, that's fine but the controls here are so fucking awful. There's such a big delay from when you press the button to when you move. It's not a lag issue, they just wanted to put weigh behind your movement. Which is fine but you have to dodge these huge structures, bullets, lasers, and shoot down barriers.

It also doesn't use a mode7 effect like on the world map of RPG's. It's more like a rolling effect. Things stretch out near the bottom.

>>440353
After some boring face-place boss. We visit a mansion on the sun.

>>440437
*face-plane

>>440451
Hm.. A little anticlimactic. But there's a mid-boss fight in that mansion and then you enter this auto-scrolling fire stage where you fight a very gunstar heroes-esque boss.

>>440557
And then that's it.

>>440567
Also funny to note. Anyone who has seen that Factor 5 N64 interview thread. This was also a Factor 5 game.

This game could have definitely been as good or better than Contra 3 as well. I think some of the control design holds this game back. But it has some great music and stage design. If you could shoot in even 4 directions it would have been at least 25% better.

>>436846
try the ISO vault on abandonia, you would have to register though... and hope and pray that they didn't decide to be douchebags and make it private again... the mods there can be a bit... I don't know the right word... not assholes... but... just... maybe... I dunno

>>437819
beware, BEWARE

>>437819
beware, BEWARE!

>>440829
is that a massive dick poking out under that red ball in his torso?

>>440582
For the GBA I got some Japanese rhythm game caled Sylvanian Melodies. It has a translation on Romhacking.net. Seems ok. Has a story mode so I'll go for that.

>>440903
*GBC

Basically, you just smash pieces of shit with down, b, and a.

>>440924

It has some decent difficulty. Basically, it changes on the fly. If you do worse it'll drop down those numbers on the top.

Holy fuck me on a stick. So I beat the second level after taking a break and sleeping. Found out my idle animation both eats my food when I'm full, allowing me to eat more without shooting it everywhere, and it also points me in the direction of food when I'm hungry. This game just got so much better.

>>441009

Short and unremarkable.

FUCKING FINALLY. THIS GAME WAS


alright

>>441029
And the game ramps up again on level 4. This one is covered in lava and water, both equally as deadly.

I have a good bit of time to start up another gauntlet run, so let's do this again!

... Well, at least I have some experience with this. Anyone know if this loops?

>>441597
Hot damn, level 7 now. I kind of stopped going for all medallions to try and get to the end of the game now. The hidden medallions are actually kind of tough to find.

>>442492

Yeah it loops. You're aiming for high score on this one.

Well, this game didn't take that long.

What is the /vr/ gauntlet?

Let's do this

>>442923

LET'S GET TO RASSLIN'

>>442923
dayum, i never finished that one. I think i finished like half the individual character stories.
>muh backlawg

>>442980

Beat the fat Hawaiian.

HOGAN, YOU'RE NEXT.

what happens if you dont beat a game in 3 days

>>443097
You die. And if you try to run away, we'll find you.

>>441092
Hot DAMN. I got Lethal Enforcers for mty Genesis game.

And look at this shit. There's an intro. And they even give out their address.

What's the best Turbografx-16 emulator?

>>443174
Aw shit yeah. One of these light gun games. And KEGA has mouse support.

Welcome to the 90's.

Despite using a mouse, I actually was forced to redo stage 1 because I did poorly. Even though I killed at least 50 people including a guy with a missile launcher.

After taking a break from vidya for a couple days, I'm back with another try at an NES game.

>Your game is "Adventures of Lolo 3"! Now go play it

Never heard of this one.

>>443890
I rolled that once. It's a puzzle game and I really liked it. Unfortunately, I got stuck on one of the puzzles and failed to finish it in three days.

>>443890

Huh. This is... odd-looking to say the least.

>>443978

A puzzle game? Well, I'll give it a shot.

>>443998

I went into the giant tree and now have... this puzzle? Huh. Not sure what to do, but flailing at the game is good.

>>444028

I collect the things and it opens the chest. Okay. This is easy. I'm curious to see what they'll do to heighten the difficulty.

>>443998
Lolo is the shit. Have fun.

>>444028
Giant Tree is practice, no reward except to hone your skills.

>>444041

Got this shit. This game is fucking fun. Weird, but fun.

>>444104

I noticed. Training stages and whatnot. I look forward to the real stuff.

Well now that I've got my Wii set up into a nice little emulation box I'm going to start the gauntlet.

Let's see here... I got....Power Punch II.

Gonna start this tomorrow.

>>444114

I feel retarded for that last puzzle. I was going about it the wrong way and overthinking it. Still, level 2 done. How many are there?

>>444316

Oh god what.

>>427443
And then there's this big mole faggot. The bosses are actually pretty well designed.

>>444368
If you can get past the first row, the other rows kind of use the same principle I think.

>>444368
Push the left and right blocks up, push the center block to the side, and then the blocks you pushed up to the side, repeat for each section until you reach the Hearts

>>440616
I tried and failed. Couldn't find the ISO vault on Abandonia. and Google only turned up NBA LIVE 95, which is screaming at me to install directly from the CD everytime I try through DOS Box. Of course the file won't actually run on my computer, because no native DOS.I'm going to reroll.

>>443191
Ootake is pretty good from my experience

>>444397
>>444453

Yeah, I got past this one. I'm stuck on a far later one.

>>444509

Moby is telling me it's a Platformer. That would make it my second on the Gauntlet

>>444559

Seriously. This stage. I think I'll get it eventually, but it's thrown me for a loop so far.

>>444615
Yeah, that's the one that I got stuck on. Good luck. You're only on your first day of the game so you've got more time to figure it out than I did though.

>>444391
Definitely an A+ on boss design for this game.

>>444640

I think I just solved it. Will post pics if I do.

>>444757

Ta-fucking-da. This one is deceptively hard because they don't teach you one specific trick in the beginning.

>>444794
Damn, good job.

>>443375
Victims my ass. I swear some of them pulled a gun on me. Level 2 and these innocent assholes are getting really obnoxious. If you don't want me to shoot you then don't jump up and yell at me. Or be a homeless man on a bench.

>>444584

Urgh. I have 2 options. Run DOS box fast enough to be able to control my character, but have the timer run down too fast, or run it slow enough to have the timer not expire in under a minute, but controlling the character is impossible. Invoking the techincal limitations clause here. I just want to be free of DOS

>>442574
Back after eating. Level 8 now. Las Vegas, I'm sure this will be just like level 6 where it was huge and full of street cars. I can't wait to be done with this game, it was fun, but I'd only play it if I was stuck in travel.

>>444702
Somewhere along the line, this game stopped being a Sonic clone and took a noticeable spike in difficulty. It's more about memorizing where enemies are going to spawn, avoiding them, and precise jumps, where the punishment for missing them is instadeath spikes.
I'm actually enjoying this game, so hats off to High Seas Havoc for (so far) not making me want to off myself.

>>444905

Hey, a game my friends won't shut up about that I've never played.

>>444794

Oh geez.

>>445034
well... Found out level 9 isn't the end, level 8 is. You have to fight the boss with the medallions you earn the rest of the game, glad I did some of the extra stuff. Level 9 is transylvania which is switzerland, they tell you they can get there from there... Just more medallions it seems, so game done!

>>445203
Next up for Genesis... Seems to be a sequel. Neither of them I have played, this outta be good.

>>445162

Finally got through those towers.

>>445304
Very awesome! I love Lolo 3, but it always had spikes of difficulty with certain dungeons.

>>445304

Oh god why.

>>445082
I take back what I said, this last level made me want to kill myself.Bats EVERYWHERE that appear at the exact angles you need to make in your VERY precise jumps, which propel you into instadeath spikes.
If I die to this guy and have to do the level over again, I'm going to scream.

>>445290
Made by Koei and look at this cast of characters. I think I might enjoy this so far, just gonna pick mr badass up in the right corner.

>>445537
Ah that game. It's pretty interesting. Hope you like naval simulation.

Each character has a different goal for beating the game.

>>445569
Oh wow. This looks like I am way over my head, but I'll give it a shot. The map looks huge also. I played my fair share of the Three Kingdoms games, so I think I'll live...

>>442559
Guess I can take some time on this one, then.

I have to say, I played it for a bit, and it's so much better than that Flintstones one I had to play on the GBC. Mostly because you move so fucking faster, you can regain your attack, and I found out that dropping pieces with enemies makes burger parts keep collapsing for more points. Now it's actually entertaining.

My only complaint is with controls and the simple look. It's hard to know when you can move along the floor from a ladder.

>>443061
Good luck with that. Wrestler is probably the least fair. It also has the most gimmicky thing about him learning moves.

>>445595
At least in the SNES version of Uncharted Waters, the map IS huge. If you know real world geography you will find out that it is pretty precise also.

The difficulty isn't as bad as it seems though.

>>437449
Ok i'm back and now at area 11. We are in a snowy town now.

>>445595
You battle with cards in this game? Oh this is going to be true random for winning, isn't it? I at least beat my first mate.

>>445475
I can't even tell you how many times I've been through this level.
I swear to God, this guy is just insane.

>>445847
Oh you have got to be kidding me
