/vr/ - Retro Games

I'm going to die a lot ion this game, aren't I?

Admittedly, I suck at most NES games, but this is one tough game. One hit kills you, 3 lives, no continues. I've died so many times and only reached the third stage once or twice.

>>454710
It took Arino 2 tries and he couldn't do it.

So I basically had life intervene and I've been out for a couple of weeks.

This being no excuse, I'm prepared to start the gauntlet all over.

>>454778
>Your game is "Battle Chess"!

This should be good.

>>454778
I think you just have to bump down to the tier before the one you failed, actually, but you're free to restart if you like.

>>454790
Some folks said restart, others said down a level.

With as long as I've been out (and my sheer reluctance to even try the French version of the DOS game I found (which was the only version I could find at all), I'll eat the restart.

Much to my chess playing delight, the game recognizes castling.

>>453616
NO, DEAR GOD NO

Why is gauntlet so dead? Not even the people participating are posting.

>>454752
Well damn, I might as well just give up now.

Going to give this another go. I have Monday and Tuesday off.
Made it to DOS last time before I failed.

hi im new

Rolled "Ninja Boy 2" for my NES game.
>>455114
That sounds like a winner

Great, it's in moonrunes.

>>454870
That took a while, wound up being much harder than I would've expected.

Rook flattens King in checkmate.

>>455114
I played that. I don't think there's an end to it.

What the fuck is up with that frog and lizard thing?

>>453616
Streamin Tom and jerry, first nes roll. Any one want to join the fun>?

>>455205
So let's see what I get next.

>Secret of Mana

Pic of roll related.

Love the game. Should be interesting to gauntlet it. Haven't played it in a while either.

This game consists of hearing Big Bird tell you who to "find" out of four characters, then picking the right one. When you get all four right, then you get to watch a little cutscene with one of the characters. There's six games so I'm just going to play each one once because I can't possibly stand any more than that and have no doubt that I can beat this

>>455220
Realizing this

Rolled "Sufflepuck Cafe". I'm not sure what to expect from this.

>>455243
Good to know one of these games is actually supposed to be fun

>>455242
Here comes the nostalgia. Thank you based Gauntlet.

Apparently this game stars Shy Guy, battling racist depictions of black people.

>>455291
Hated this game. Its sequel did everything better

>>455267
So the game was in Japanese but it got a translation patch.

>>455362
I just looked that game up. The characters you play against look pretty awesome. I might just play it outside of the gauntlet.

So I "beat"(?) the game. I'm not sure what this game was supposed to teach children besides the names of four Sesame street characters and a handful of three letter words comprised of a small selection of letters.

The NES d-pad is also apparently called "the big black button" according to this game.

Anyone think I should play another NES game or move on to SNES?

Hey gauntleteers, I was the one who rolled the NES game Wit's in the previous thread. I got my friend to start up the gauntlet as well and decided to reroll my NES game so we could have the thrill of both rolling our games at the same time. I don't really know the technical rules of rerolling NES games since you can't go down a tier, but if I'm breaking any code of honor I can go back to my old game.

The game I rolled is Toki, which has been beaten by another Anon who got a high score of 140,600. I don't know anything about the game, but it seems like a pretty tough score to beat.

Fuck Yeah, NASCAR '98 / Playstation 1

>>455432
When I got it, I rerolled for another NES game. But I've had a lot of other NES games since then and haven't been able to beat any of them so I kind of regret it.

>>455432
Move on to SNES. You've earned it.

Don't forget to make your medal.

>>455413
Plays just like air hockey and it controls pretty well. Got beat by this guy and his lightspeed hits.

>>455463
Toki is fun. I "beat" it a while ago (I used save states and probably rewind).

>>455481
Oh I didn't know I was supposed to make a medal. What do I put on it

>>455463
I'm enjoying this game so far. I got mad monkey moon jumps.

>>455507
If the game is beatable, I'm guessing the previous Anon's high score doesn't really matter.

>>455570
I'm sure it's beatable without save states. I just used to use save states and rewind on everything I played because I didn't care if I legitimately beat the games or not.

>>455560
Anything you want, as long as you know it's from the game you beat. Here are my old medals from a previous gauntlet. It's an old tradition that has kind of died, but I think they're a great concept and should come back.

That feeling of accomplishment when you finally finish an incredibly frustrating and shitty game and get to make your medal to prove you've earned your place in the gauntlet...

>>455570
My friend rolled a game called Rocketeer, and he sent me this pic. I think it could be a nice reaction image.

>>455483
I'm having a lot of fun playing this. Doesn't seem fair at times though, the A.I. is difficult and their gimmicks are bullshit at times. Still fun though.

>>455618
alrighty

>>455695
You should just plaster big birds smug as fuck face on the medal instead

>>455570
The game has turned into a bullet hell. Pretty fun game, though that fun could easily turn into torment depending on what happens when I run out of continues...

>>455585
I just meant that I could disregard the previous Anon's high score since it does end, and I can have fun beating it.

>>455734
Ah ok. But yeah, I'm glad you're enjoying it. I remember liking it a lot but I've never really seen anyone talk about it on here.

CUrrently on world 3

>>455754
How are peeps going to watch your stream if they're busy playing games

Beat Bonk's Adventure. It wasn't too bad. At the end the dinosaur princess kisses bonk. I didn't think it was the end yet for some reason but took a cap as soon as I realized it.

>>455760
Fair enough

>>455560
So, this game, it's a platformer, you run around and collect CDs. Can jump pretty high, you can roll up into a ball of spikes to kill enemies, and you can also explode. The biggest thing about this game is that it has gravity like Super Mario Galaxy, where if there is a platform above you can jump and he will stick to it, and the camera turns too.

Which means that I am getting nauseated and a massive headache, but I will persevere

>>455734
(not shown in pic) I fought a pretty cool underwater sub-boss. Also, this game apparently has sub bosses.

The floating eyeball man was pretty cool. He warped around like Dr.Wily and shot out eyeballs that I could bounce on and shoot him from.

Now I'm in a lava cave. This game is pretty much an NES version of donkey kong country, but with projectile attacks.

>>455754
I might pop in for a little bit when I take a break from Toki.

>>455764
Just curious, do we edit the wiki when we're done?

>>455854
Yeah, and if someone else has beaten the game, just add your name alongside theirs.

>>455864
ahh, ok.

>>455852
Had to fight some weird testicle monster for the level 3 boss. His attacks were letters that spelt out BURP. Pretty amusing.

Onto the ice level.

Alright, because the last thread hit image limit, I took caps while I played until a new thread was made. I'll provide little commentaries and what not for this picture. I started this challenge around 9PM.

1) I jumped in this game not knowing what the hell to expect. An inventory screen popped up briefly and I wasn't able to read it in time. I tried to enter the building, thinking it was a city but...

2) It turned out to be a labyrinth. The paths are blacked out until you travel to them. This gets a bit annoying and yet helpful later on in its own way, which I will explain. I tried to figure out how to attack, which happens to be a bow and arrow. The arrows in this game have an... interesting property where they bounce off of walls. I end up taking off 2 of my 4 health points not realizing what was going on.

3) I decide to take a look at my inventory. I am stocked with 3 Carls, no fairies, and 55 arrows. A pretty good start. Collecting 4 fairies grants an extra Carl, which are a vital asset.

4) I stumble through the game and lose a Carl by running into a skeleton. Bad start! However, I find that skeleton mofo again and kill it and get a key. After collecting more arrows, I find a door and escape the labyrinth.

5) After feeling my way through another labyrinth, I discover there are a few different kinds: caves, towers, forests, and a mountain. The caves are laid out in the same way, as are the towers and forests. I pick up a tomahawk later on and have no clue what to do with it, so it sits in my inventory for later use. Oh yeah, in this picture I find an invincibility power up.

6) After defeating many caverns, I go to a tower and get some fairies in an attempt to get more Carls.

7) And then I take on the mountain. It just screams boss lair.

8) I come across a mysterious rectangle and step on it, hoping it's not a trap. it turns out to be a hot spring that recharges life! to be continued...

>>456131
9) I find a sweet power up after killing a fucking dinosaur.

10) And then I find the boss and take a very badly timed screenshot of it going up in smoke. Protip: hit its right leg to kill it

11) After that, there's a cutscene of the hero shooting downa dragon.

12) ......And then, for a while, I was entranced by this game and forgot to take screenshots. But I took a poorly timed screenshot of the dragon going up in smoke it was the left leg this time.. I swear, I will show off the dragon one way or another.

After this, I got to the third world and game overed. LUCKILY, there's a password system... but I lost all my arrows. I have a feeling this is going to be a pain. The neat thing is if you die in a labyrinth but attack an enemy, they will maintain the damage you've done to them.

Another thing I found is if you linger too long in a cave, some worms pop out of the ground and try to kill you.

>>456161
The cave system is pretty interesting. Because the parts you haven't traveled to are blacked out, you can't see enemies coming at you in the dark. However, it's helpful in figuring out which way you should go, like "oh I haven't been this way before, I should try it out."
Also, the game is pretty minimal in music, it kinda reminds me of Atari games in that sense.
Also, since I game over'd, I'm down to 3 Carls and 7 arrows... fuck.

>>455953
Made it through the ice cave no problem. I had a little trouble with this elephant fucker of a boss though. He would shoot his tusks at me boomerang-style, whip his trunk at me, and then he straight up charged my ass when he was hp critical. The boss fights in this game are pretty awesome.

The next zone was a jungle area, which is Toky's native land, so I kicked its ass. Fought a few enemies that looked like Andross (not shown), then made it to the boss. This was another cool fight. The hands and feet moved independently, and I had to attack the heart. If I dealt enough damage to it, one of the hands would grab its heart for a few seconds keeping me from shooting it. Pretty neat.

Then came level 6. This one was a sort of a medieval theme. There were giant hammer things that acted like thwomps and a bunch of knight guys. I kind of got my ass kicked repeatedly here, especially at the cart-like section (I swear this is the prequel to donkey kong country).

I finally ran out of continues here and was sent back to the title screen. If this were any other game, I'd be pretty upset, but I really enjoyed the levels and wouldn't mind going back to play them again now that I know what I'm doing.

I'll still probably take a break right now though.. Probably get some sleep. Good night, gauntleteers. Don't let the frustration bring you down!

So I was playing Lethal Enforcers. It's a Konami made lightgun game for the Genesis. Overall, it's pretty much shit with a great soundtrack. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLOKey6sirg

I'm using mouse support in Kega. Honestly, the reaction times you need are so strict that I think using a gamepad would be absolutely awful. A lot of enemies if you miss once, you'll get shot. Otherwise, it plays like a flash tier shooter. The screen stays in one spot while the same guys pop up in the same spots. When that's over, the screen will scroll over slightly and you'll fight the same exact guys. Rinse and repeat.

The worst part about this game is the innocent people. They're fucking everywhere. They pop out all the fucking time. There's even one asshole that pops out with a camera and takes your picture. Of course, half the time I think the flash is a gun and shoot the dumb fuck. Why is this awful though? Because if you shoot even one innocent, you'll have to restart the level. This stupid fucking game will let you finish the ENTIRE level and then when the report comes in, it'll note you shot one innocent and make you redo the assignment. It's brutal.

The second level was China Town themed and you shot a lot of chinese people. It ended with a boss that slices open a train and you shoot him 'til he falls off the train. Pic related is level 3 and so far it's fucking tough. If you miss one guy then you're fucked because the other 4 that pop up won't wait for you to kill that one guy. This fucking game.

>>456337
I'm not even going to be able to beat this game this time. I'll have to try again. 3rd boss down but one have 1 credit left.

For whatever reason too, you have to calibrate the mouse at the beginning of the game in the game's options and it slowly un-calibrates itself throughout the game.

>>454502
HAHAHAHA, you poor bastard.

>>456429

I got extremely lucky this level. There's some completely bullshit moments but overall, I didn't die and netted some 1ups. This level was based around drug busts. So basically, two cars at a harbor, a yacht, and then a helicopter.

>>456186
>>456161
>>456131

Oh man, Dragon Buster 2. I played a bit of this game after seeing the first one featured on an episode of Game Center CX. The first one is a horizontal platformer with a similar overworld mechanic. I think I heard someone say that the first one was kinda like a NES Dark Souls, but that's when DS was big shit about a year ago so it may have been an exaggeration.

Gonna follow this playthrough.

>>456429
Level 3 takes pace in a Chemical Plant for some reason. Here you fight the same guys over and over and then with robots. Eventually, the place fucking blows up and everything is tinted in green. So you're fighting green enemies on a green background.

The boss is another Helicopter but this time it's military grade.

>>456186
Starting from World 3 seemed hopeless to me. At this point I took a break and decided to start over from the beginning to gather Carls and arrows. On top of that, I figured out how to use the axes!

Hm, I don't like how I can only shoot one arrow at a time. also, some enemies are almost as fast as Carl so running away from them in order to shoot them without getting hurt is pretty intense.
>>456573
Oh gosh, I'll do my best.

>>456626
Level 4*

But then that's it.. The game just ends. I don't even know who the people I killed are. Or who the last boss was. What was I fighting for.

Was it good? Mmmmmmmmm.... No. Great music but this game is full of bullshit hits and misses. Enemies never miss and innocents get in the way too fucking much. Game also looks like shit.

The credits roll but then the game just immediately loops back to the start of level 1.

>>456634
I lost a Carl taking this screenshot, but that's what the dragon looks like.


>>456637
Grats. Do you feel accomplished even though the game sucked?
Haha, I love those dudes standing there. They look like they came straight out of the MIB.

>>456656
In the end, sure. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for lightgun games and I've never really played one on the Genesis before. It's total 90's kitsch too. Everything is taken from photographs/videos so you can tell they at least tried to put some work into this game and it looks pretty decent for a genesis game. But, there's so little content they obviously ramped up the difficulty to compensate. They did make a sequel so I might actually check that out.

Next up is Moto Roader for the Turbografx 16.

>>456727

>>456690

It's a top down racer where inbetween races, you can upgrade your car. Sounds pretty good. I would really hate to be negative on EVERY game I play through this Gauntlet, but the cars move soooo sloooow. I was thinking this would be like Super Offroad where you're swinging the steering wheel as fast as possible because your cars are blazing through turns. But it's just.. slow.

>>456656
Second boss killed. I've got a good amount of lives and arrows so I'm more confident I can beat this.

>>456760
well, I got to the third world and now it's almost 5AM. gotta sleep. I'll continue this later on. I won't have internet access tomorrow, but I'll take as many caps as I will.

What is the purpose of this dagger?! Is it there to toy with me? Because it sure can't kill any of these fucking things.

>>456730
I won I guess. Not a good racing game. The perspective is fixed on the car in 1st place and if you hit the edge of the screen, it bubbles you back up. The problem being, is that if you hit something, it takes so long for your car to gain back speed that you'll get bubbled 4 or 5 times and frequently get bubbled into obstacles. Not to mention, if you're in first, you're so close to the edge of the screen that you can't really see what turns are coming up. Also, if you buy the wrong upgrades for your car, you're fucked.

>>455291

you lucky bastard

posted in the last thread (which i didn't realise was pretty much finished) so i'll repost here, was in the first few gauntlet threads way back, got my ass handed to me by shinobi and dirty harry before beating one of the weirdest games ever made, operation secret storm.

Glad to see this is still going, i'll definitely be doing some when i have free time.

Well I've made no progress in the DBZ TGC. Between packing for a move, work and that's it's not very good I've had little time today.

I've still got 2 days but I see me timing out on this

>>454502
This dude got drunk off his ass and died after I kept pouring my 151-proof rye into his plant. Remember, don't drink and drive!

Also, do I still just have the three days, or do I have a week for this since its supposed to be extremely difficult?

>>458573
I'm not sure. Do adventure games like this or King's Quest count as RPGs? If they do then you get a full week.

>>457162
Do you have your old medals? It's good to see some gauntlet veterans around here.

So I have about half a day left on this game. I got to say, I'm addicted to it and I'm getting better, but I don't think I'm gonna make the deadline. I have made barely any forward progress in defeating the Spanish (Otto's story). I have learned how important crew are (Duh) and how important it is to plunder merchant ships.

>>458573
>>459137
If not then they should. Legitimately playing point and clicks without hints files or walkthroughs can be as long or longer than most RPGs depending on the game.

>>456797
I've beaten the 3rd and am onto the 4th world but I lose my internet access later on tonight because I gotta travel. Should I start timestamping?

>>461286

Did you take the week allowed for RPGs?

>>461632
Ha, I am dumb. I just was re-reading this thread and I forgot about that, I was going to post in my next post that I forgot to account for the RPG time limit. I should be able to do this if I keep up my pace with that.

>>457023
Moving on from Turbografx, I rolled a DOS game. I got Alien Logic.

Funnily enough, I bought this game from a Walmart a long time ago. It wouldn't run on my system though. Years later, I tried running it on Dosbox and it had numerous issues including no sound. Hopefully it runs again.

How about an opinion on whether or not this is an RPG? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVZDtmEFq4w

>>461993
>no sound
Sounds like you just didn't configure the sound right.

>>462017
It was a common issue with the game at the time. There were entire threads devoted to it or something. It doesn't matter as that was dosbox years ago.

I suck at this game let's go

>>463019
Game start gogogo

Going for Gyruss.

>>463493
great music, pretty tough, slick controls, but it takes some getting used to, since I never played any SHMUP like it before. Game over on stage 7, will try again tomorrow.

Why the fuck is piccolo in the game screen

This game sucks
This thread is so dead now
Why?

>>463638
Sounds like you need to take your daily dose. Ask /v/ if they can write you a prescription.

>>461286
So, after playing most of the day, I just focused on attacking merchant ships and doing quests to stack money and amass something to move the oceans a bit more freely. I'm liking this... I also took a break to play Uncharted Waters Online... That was a bit more eh.

My eyes hurt.

So Cu-On-Pa is basically rolling around a die to have its number match a tile's number, except it's colors instead of numbers. That's the easiest way I can explain it. Easy Mode simplifies it by adding only three colors to your cube, whereas Normal Mode adds six colors. My mind can't take six colors, so this is all I got.

I'm not sure if beating it on Easy Mode is kosher, but beating all three modes in three days is crazy, and beating one of the other modes in three days will drive me nuts and will probably end in failure. Besides, I'm guessing Normal Mode is like Easy Mode and has 100 levels, so fuck that.

So I guess I'll go onto the next level. Game Boy time!

>Battle Unit Zeoth

Looks like a slow-scrolling shmup.

Rollin

>>464694
Rolling again. That game was all kinds of fucked up.

>>456223
Made it to level 6, where I game over'd before, without having to use any continues. I have 5 lives and 4 health... So I'm in a much better spot than before.

>>464903
Made it past the minecarts, which had stopped me yesterday. The boss was right after that section, and he had a few forms. I lost a few lives, but it wasn't too difficult. I guess that was the final boss because I turned into a human afterward. And I guess a girl was involved in all of that as well.

I really enjoyed Toky. It was by far the least frustrating NES game I've had on the gauntlet. The game was very forgiving, which is rare for an NES game. All of the boss fights were pretty fun, and the overall gameplay was pretty fun too. I kind of wish it was a little longer though, but oh well. I definitely recommend this game to anyone else interested. It can easily be beaten in one sitting.

Medal coming up and then SNES roll.

the fuck is this

>>464996
mini game hell

>>464996
Had this game as a kid.... I remember needing my dad's and brother's help to beat it.

Have fun in bumpercar hell.

>>464987
Annnd here's my medal. Rolling for SNES now....

"Bastard!!: Dark God of Destruction"

Seems.... friendly.

>>464996
Hahah, well I got /to/ the castle with no real troubles (mainly because I just grinded tickets out of "TRAIN" like a bitch), but jesus fuck this game is bullshit.

I'm picking this back up tomorrow.

>>458573
I keep dying and hitting dead ends, but I'm making some very slow progress.

And I'm taking a week for this thing, because this is some serious bullshit.

>>465068
What is this game?

... Well now. That was fast.

Five short stages and infinite continues doesn't bode well for this game. Neither does that weird decision to make you use up part of your life for a screen-clearing bomb... which is used immediately after double-tapping the fire button. That last boss didn't even feel like the last boss, either. Hell, he was easier to abuse than other bosses.

It's not too bad overall, but I can't imagine it lasting longer than three days if I ever bought it. And that's me being generous. Off to the Genesis!

>Pirates! Gold

I've always wanted to try this game out, but I didn't expect to have to play it here.

>>467820
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastard%E2%80%BC:_Heavy_Metal,_Dark_Fantasy

>>462028
I still can't figure out how to run Alien Logic. It crashes at the beginning because of some music problem. You can run it without sound but it still has all kinds of speed issues. I'm looking into running a VM to see if it'll work. I've got 3.1, 95, and 98 up and working.

I doubt it'll work anyway but it's worth a try for a game I've been trying to get to work since the 90's.

>>467820
Despite being an awesome old-school fantasy manga, the game is pretty bad.

so I got this game this time, it's a platformer and it's complete garbage but it seems relatively easy except for the bosses and I get unlimited continues I think so what ever, I should be done with this rather quickly

>>467980
japan confirmed for hating the brits

>>467820
Don't know the game but it's based on a manga about The Evil Wizard who Returns to Fuck Some Shit Up in pseudo-D&D Land and gets into fights with his old pals over who is the real ruler of his world. His spells are named after metal bands and songs like Helloween.
It goes to shit later on with the author being all over the place, adding new crazed backgrounds and spending several chapters on just drawing shit fights elaborately. (which wouldn't be bad except he can't pace for shit)
He's even rebooting the manga from the beginning now iirc.

>>467989
wtf does this weirdness have to do with england?

>>468013
oh boy, looks like I do have limited continues, 2 of them to be exact, just this game is such crap that it doesn't even tell you

>>468029
oh, forgot image, also it literally doesn't tell you at all, in fact it still picks continue, also I got killed by a boss I couldn't figure out how to kill at all

>>468042
>>468029
and by do I meant don't

>>468049
back at london/hell
this time with 4 mans, this time maybe I can figure out what I have to do to damage satan

>>468013
Wow, I actually played this game before. I managed to get up to possibly the last boss in the game, but he wrecked my shit so hard. Always.

Good luck, Anon.

>>468170
was it this guy?
I figured out you need to use the boomerang on him, I think I'm going to get him this time

>>468208
It wasn't that guy, but yeah, this was the boss where I figured out how you can change your weapon.

I'm considering trying to decipher that C64 emulator and finish my run (I couldn't figure out how to move past the title screen). I never got a word back from that anon who had a copy of the game on what to do, then I got sidetrack with the NES Megaman games, and only now have I gotten an urge to finish this run.

Should I try to get back on track?

>>468208
I was wrong, both his sword and the... things... coming out of his mouth are very hard to avoid

>>468239
I figured out how to change weapons a while ago, but everything other than the gun was completely useless up until this point so I didn't think to try the other ones until he seemed unbeatable

>>468267
>>468208
well I beat the devil, now onto "Liberty" which I'm guessing will be based on the modern US and seems to be the last level

>>468269
Yes. I'm sure you could find some step-by-step tutorials on how to work the C64 emulator.

>>468323
oh yay, died on my last continue and had to start over, "Liberty" starts off with a balloon area where you have to push down on A to keep it afloat or else you fall and die, which makes everything hard to shoot or avoid...

>>467820
This game is really, really bad. My only move is a fireball that takes like 5 seconds for it to reach the opponent, whereas they have like 3 or 4 different attacks that can hit me instantly and take down like a quarter of my health. It takes a good 20 minutes just to get through each round of combat.

...I don't really see how this is going to be doable.

>>468269

What game is it?

>>468343
I can get the emulator to work, it's the game that I can't move past the title screen. And, I can't find any type of manual for this game.

But, since there's support on me attempting to finish the Gauntlet, tomorrow I'll boot it up again and try to figure out what needs to be done to get the game to work.

>>468406
The game is Quedex for the Commodore 64.

>>468428
The game itself might just not work with the emulator. I'd say try to get it to work some more, see if there are any game-specific problems on the internets, and if you still can get it to work just reroll.

>>468436
You can find the manual for Quedex here:
http://project64.c64.org/games/m-z/index.html

It's transcribed to a text document, but that should still be legit.

>>468356
>>468323
well that level was dumb, now for New York, which I some how didn't realize was there until now, oh well.

>>468532
back at london, just wanted you guys to see this garbage, the guy shooting at me is standing in mid air, like hi isn't in mid-jump or anything, he is standing there and soon he will walk over to me

>>468669
ok, I got half way through new york on my last continue, and then died in an area where you had to stand on a platform in the way of things shooting you that you can't avoid. I'm going to take a break.

This game is bad, so so bad, like Action 52 tier bad, which is and accomplishment for a licensed game, and the game is more bad for being horribly designed in all areas than it is for being hard or anything. The music is bad, the graphics are bad, and the level design is dreadful and boring. Would not recommend to anyone.

>>468481
Thank you based anon.

Well, found out why you don't hang around enemy ports now. Had 3/4 my money stolen, but I still have enough pocket change to regather my fortune. I really don't know if I am making any progress at times, but I am trying to rank up now. The fortune teller told me to become a better pirate, so I am. Also I am looking for that pirate girl...

>>467926
most fun I've had so far

Alright, I'm starting to get somewhere! Beat the semi-finals, finally.

>>469462
...And lost instantly. DAMN I hate this game.

>>469291

>that image

Right in the nostalgia. I miss 3.1 sometimes.

>>469480
Back at the top; let's finish this

Rolling for first time

I hate this fucking game

Uh...

>>469706
Found a translation, looks descent.

>>469987
>descent
I see what you did there

I am ok with this

>>469987
First person view, well I liked the fpv dungeons in Phantasy Star, it could be OK

Alright, so I've managed to snag a copy of this at a local pawn shop. I can't play it now because I don't have an NES at my house at the moment, but I thought it'd be only fair if I counted today as day 1.
I'll probably be able to report back tomorrow with some (Really crappy) screenshots.
I should probably invest in a capture card..

>>469031
Built back up and got a formidable armada for the time being! Still just fighting Spanish and ranking up through the king. I only ranked up once because I thought it would tell me when I fought enough, it didn't.

>>470138
Beaten this game before, it's pretty good.

>>470138
It's a pretty good game anon.
Got it back in the day in a K Mart bargain bin.

>>470138
I almost feel like this is the equivalent of the hipsters on /mu/ that would buy an album on vinyl to "prepare" for a listen along but I guess I'll try to not get angry.

>>471074
It was five bucks and I'd rather play it on the original hardware if I can.

>>471102
yes yes, because it's not as "authentic" and emulators are inferior trash, same exact mindset and a stupid one at that

>>471203
so you hate gay people then?

>>467664
I don't think I can handle Return to Zork, guys; even if I do have a full week, I have no idea what the hell I'm doing. If I had a guide for minor hints I might play through it some other time and take it slow, but not for the gauntlet. I'll just reroll for another Turbografx 16 game...which looks like Bomberman '93. I'm completely okay with that.

>>471074
>>471123
>>/out/

>>471123
Wots up ur ass m8

>>471074

>hipster

Please stop using that buzzword, especially here of all places.

>>471123
Except emulators produce worse results than playing on real hardware. CDs produce better results than pressed vinyl.

>>471275
>CDs produce better results than pressed vinyl.
that isn't exactly true all the time, but I'd rather not get into that here, also /mu/ used MP3s for listen alongs, not CDs

anyhow, that wasn't what I was getting at anyhow, that isn't what gets me at all, it's the people that actually go out of their way in everything they do, even when it's related to a silly forum on the internet where everyone will forget you in 8 hours, to make sure that people know you feel you are better than them for doing things a different way than they do that I have a problem with here

>>471315

You're a dumbass, mate.

Of all the boards on 4chan, this is the worst place to chastise people for purchasing older titles.

>>471345
see
>>471346

>>471315
Some guy bought an NES game. Get off of your high horse you faggot

>>471335
I'm not chastising him for buying older titles, it's the reason he did it

>>471346

There's really no difference between buying it on a whim and this. Especially for collectors, who pick up stuff all the time.

You're just the king of faggots is all.

>>471315
>that isn't exactly true all the time
Let's put it this way:

A video game developer creates a digital master copy of their video game.
Playing this on the intended hardware, rather than an emulator, will give a closer experience to what the developers finalized in their master copy.

A musician produces a digital master copy of an album. Listening to this on CD, instead of vinyl, will give a closer experience to what the musician finalized in his master copy.

>>471351
>Listening to this on CD, instead of vinyl, will give a closer experience to what the musician finalized in his master copy.

only if they are remastered well, which in many cases they are not

>>471346
Actually I like to go to that pawn shop all the time, at least once a week. I wasn't going there just for the gauntlet.

>>471363
Mastered, not remastered. If the artist produces his work digitally in the first place, there's nothing to be gained by distributing in vinyl. There's a hell of a lot that can go wrong, though.

Video games were made to be played on video game hardware. There's nothing to be gained by playing them on emulators, and there's a hell of a lot that can go wrong.

>>467664
Unsurprisingly, Return to Zork is kicking my ass, and I'm not entirely sure that I could beat it even if I had a week to do it. That said, I'm admitting defeat and bumping down a level, to get Bomberman '93 for the Turbografx 16. I'm just glad it isn't another Ballistix.

I rolled Xevious on the NES. Gonna have to beat that high score of 36190. I'll grab some screens once I do.

>>471546
Amazing game. Have fun, Anon!

>>453616
Is that piccolo?

>>471381
why do you think that I was only reffering to new releases? Also, not all newer albums are mastered digitally, there are some indie bands that don't, also vinyl reproduces a different range of sounds than CDs do, which some people prefer, to make this short, music is a much more subjective art form than video games so different people like different things about it and they should be free to enjoy them the way they want to without some one getting irationally angry about it.

>>471437
>bumping down a level
the new rules say you have to start over completely actually

Turns out that the key to making my men happy is to plunder and attack. Good enough for me.

And with that, I stumble upon one thing I need to do to "finish" the game. Not sure what the rest are, but I guess I'll find out sooner or later.

>>471609
>talking about music
stop shitposting

>>471546
Just checking in, already beat this guy's high score, I'm just gonna go ahead and set it as high as I can, cuz I seriously did this on my first try. Still going, too. Can't provide screenshots right now though, I'm playing on my PSP's emulator.

>>471693
I was making legitimate responses to some one else's posts

>>471359
>There's really no difference between buying it on a whim and this.
yes there is, the mentality is to show off that they are superior to other people here by playing it the authentic way

>You're just the king of faggots is all.
>>>/b/

>>471619
You sure? If we're going by the wiki, it pretty clearly says:

4) If you lose / give up to a game you have to go back one square instead (ie if you gave up a Genesis game, you go back to GB/GBA and continue frome there)

>beat high score in Xevious
>Game didn't save it, screenshot not working on emulator
I'm gonna have to beat it again, and this time I'll take a picture of the screen like they used to back in the Atari days.

>>471805
what emulator are you using?

>>471764
I thought I saw s3krit agreeing that it should be a rule... or does he not actually run it? I thought it was a stupid rule anyhow

>>471731
>>>/v/

>>471864
nice lack of argument

>>471840
NesterJ AoEX R3. Whatever the problem is, I'll take a picture anyway, it'll add to the retro feel of the whole thing.

>>471881
ah, I didn't realize you were using a PSP

Welp, here's my current high score for Xevious. Gonna jump right back in and see if I can't top that.

well back at this game, got to the final boss(es), they are glitched come out of no where and flicker across the screen and shoot so fast that there is literally no way to react, and this is after the game makes me walk through a gauntlet if flames that you can some times avoid but most of the time can't because they don't follow any sort of real pattern. Can I just count this as beaten and move onto the next game since I'm getting the feeling you can't beat this game without cheats.

>>472189

Alright, Got my score higher up this time, here's the proof.

First time rolling.
What am I in for /vr/?

>>472558
Lots of wandering around and not knowing what the hell you're doing.

>>472558
Holy fuck the game is fun. But I applaud you if you can do it without help. Each character has it's own abilities and items and sections of the world to get to and solve. If you want a small hint, the monster character is immune to other monsters and is easy to explore with.

Have literally no idea where i'm at, how I got here, or where I'm supposed to go. Am I doing this right?

>>472558
honestly I'd rec. using a faq. it's still an enjoyable game and you'll still get a challenge out of it. but if you really want to go at by yourself good luck.

general advice-

-start off using Poochy to scout and map out the castle.
-each of the 4 corners of the castle is supposed to be one characters "dungeon (dad is in NW, Mom is SW, Daughter is in NE "and dog is SE).
-get the 4 crowns from the bosses of those dungeons and than use the son to get the Dragon Slayer to beat the final boss

>>472643
Same guy. This game reminds me of La Mulana.

>Your game is "Double Dragon II The Revenge"! Now go play it

Oh my fucking god this is unreal I've had DDII in my NES for a week now and was just about to go play it.

>>472643
no. Meyna (the character your using) is one of the characters you use later in the game. Start with Poochi (the dog) or Lyll (the daughter)

>>472189
>>472196
I got desperate found a FAQ that had a strategy of how to beat the end boss, I'm going to make something to eat and then try it. I'm thinking this can be excused in this case because the end boss in glitched anyhow.

It really perplexes me that a game that was of Action 52 tier quality was actually officially licensed and was even highly promoted at the time (it got episodes of Captain N devoted to it for example)

>>453616
No Saturn? I guess you limited this thing to systems that emulate well? Still, needs some Saturn. I've got like 120 games for it. Hit me with your best shot.

>8 Eyes

Looks like no one has beaten this one so far, It's always been sitting on the top of my Rom list, never actually looked at it

It's castlevania-like and you have a pet hawk(?) you command to attack people, looks pretty awesome so far

>>472735
there isn't good Saturn emulation at this point? I'm shocked actually

>>472754
No idea, just a guess as to why it isn't included.

>>472737
I play through it once a year or so, just for the epic music. it's not hard, but go sloooow don't just run up to enemies and attack. oh and always check the bricks outside of each stage as there is usually a power up in one of the blocks there. also there is a correct order to beat the bosses in and if you don't beat them in this order they are significantly harder to beat. I'd rec. looking up the order online as there's nothing in game to indicate this besides trial and error. btw Spain is the stage you're supposed to play first

>>472805
Thanks

>up+jump is subweapon
>up+attack commands hawk to return
>up+attack is command hawk and use subweapon in air at same time

Controls are strange. I don't know why I would want two inputs to do the same thing, I guess I have to unequip my subweapon if I get in a situation where I need to make my hawk attack something high up without wasting ammo.

>>472794
>>472735
ah, ok, anyhow, if there is a way you could make a list of the games, number them, and then go here http://www.random.org/ you could pretty much manually do what the site does, only the randomization is better, I actually still use random.org rather than the site randomizer

>>472742
ok, that strategy did not work, I'm going to sleep, I'm going to try it one more time and if I still can't do it I'm rolling SNES, sorry to the rule nazis

>>472676
OK, this went pretty well... getting real close... one life, can't screw it up...

>>473451
Well, that shadow master doesn't seem like such a bad guy after all.

>>473525
I'm actually pretty pumped about this. Never beat this game when I was a kid.

>>473542
(though it was a little lame to discover that you get three extra lives when you get to the shadow master)

Time to roll again.

>>473563
Bravo good sir for proper delivery.

Well, it's almost at the end of my 3 days. Between work and bullshit AI, I didn't even finish the first tier. So call GBA a loss.
It's on the same level as Master System though, and I got this. I have no clue what this is, but apparently it's a platformer.

Sup guys. s3krit here.

Currently blasting through a shit ton of uni work. Taking a few hours off to play VIDEOGAMES though, or I think I'll actually fucking die.

That is, of course, provided there are no bugs or anything to report with my site?

Ok let's see what I gotta play...

sounds fun

>>473586
Has anyone been able to beat a Dizzy game? It's like a bad platformer and bs adventure game puzzles rolled into one.

>tfw precise jumps
>tfw jumping from clouds at random
>tfw having to collect coins

>>476572

>Controls are brick like
>3 lives
>No continues

Man fuck this

Attempting Quedex for the C64 again, let's hope it works this time. I have a manual, and figured out the equivalent keys necessary to play the game. If it still doesn't work, I may look for another emulator to use (I'm currently using CCS64).

>>477891
>ERROR

Oh my I must be retarded, I followed the manual instructions, got to the level select, but when I press the Fire button, which I set up in the emulator, I get "ERROR."

>>474335
did you ever fix the problems with your randomizer? I still see the same games over and over a lot

>>478023
Switch the joy ports maybe? On a resl C64 you can only use port 1 or port 2. Most games used port 2 but not all.

>>478247
Port 2 is normally used because some of the bits in Port 1 are for the keyboard and the joystick can mess them up

The more you know...

>>473314
Ok, Puss n Boots person here, I am tired of this garbage, I feel like I've earned to move on simply for forcing myself to try to beat this. I would usually NEVER do this without beating a game but I believe these are special circumstances, rolling for SNES

>>479049
Well, from what I looked up on this one, it seems that I'm actually in for a good game this time, thank god.

>>479097
also it's based on an pretty cool looking obscureish cartoon from the 90s that only lasted 35 episodes that was co-developed by Peter Chung, the creator of Aeon Flux, definitely on my to watch list. I'm going to do a few things and then start in on this game.

Ok im starting the gauntlet for the first time. My first roll came up with 'Valis: The Fantasm Soldier'
What I could find was Valis: The Fantastic Soldier. Im sure its still the same game and will still kick my ass hard. Well... here we go!

>>479403
yeah, there are missnames in the NES list once in a while, mostly due to the names older half ass translations gave them back in the day with the japanese games.

To the left is the great feeling of success, and then the bitter feeling of defeat after coming so far into the game. I'd get to the 4th world, but man, that's where shit gets HARD. Enemies start launching OP projectiles and shielding themselves from the piddly little strikes from my arrows. Carl didn't stand a chance. The password is of no use, since arrows come at a premium this late in the game, and continuing is just a pipe dream. There are power ups, but they are fleeting and disappear after a few minutes/shots/after you leave a dungeon. I suppose it is now time to reroll and try again.

>>479570
Fuck me sideways, I've never beaten Punch Out before.

Rolling for NES

>>479597
This is how bad I am at Punch Out.

>>479664
I'm not cut out for this...

>>479715
Practice... Learn there moves... you will get better.

>>479715
Woo.

Crud, I don't even like flight sims

>>479758
Ohh but don't kid yourself. It gets ALOT harder than that. Muahaha

>>453616
>Playstation 1 OR Nintendo 64

I don't think it's a good idea to include the N64 in here since some of its games can't be played on emulation (eg. Factor 5 stuff). What if you rolled Indy and the Infernal Machine?

>>479776
I figured. but let me have a fleeting moment of victory. I know Arino lost to this game, and I have a feeling I might too.

not the most practical game to beat in a couple of days

>>479783
Dammit.

>You will now be ranked #2 and fight Von Kaiser again
Double dammit.

Hate when I roll shovelware

>>479794
This asshole simply would not do his uppercut.

>>479476
>>479403
took the game for a test run, seems pretty cool, though the dificulty level is pretty up there. It's a metroidvania type game with a stage select system. Though you can only go to certain stages after getting the corresponding security cards. There is a story but I think it only makes sense if you are familiar with the show. I will take screenshots once I figure out how to do that in higan.

>>479857
wtf happened here, I meant to respond to myself here
>>479097
>>479246

>>479829
>shovelware
>implying that such a term existed in the NES era

>>479873
The term may not have existed, but the concept definitely did.

>>479659
Yea... Not much to say about this one. I didn't care for it myself, though I don't care for electronic board games. My first gauntlet though, hope im doing it right.

On to the next round. SNES
Heres to hoping this one is a real game

crud, a puzzle game (genre I hate)

>>470271
and I'm back to hopefully get closer to the end of this voyage! I gotta say, I am loving Uncharted Waters. I really gotta play more after this. Otto's mission is fun, but the combat in this game is awful, I think I'd enjoy if combat was a side goal of mine.

I did however get to meet the pirate cutie again! Though she wants me to stop fighting Spanish now... Ugh, if I have to take her down...

the Gauntlet is cool because it introduces you to games you might not have heard of or played otherwise

>>479951
>hating puzzle games
>hating pipe dreams
you are now officially a horrible person

>>479964
umm... ok...

Oh dear God no

>>479981

he's right there

are you blind?

>>479779
Roll something else? It's always possible the game that comes up could be one you own. Or you could cheat and keep refreshing until that happens. The more systems the better.

>>473572
hope you enjoyed that I included the console in the photo per Nintendo Power rules.

This thing is one of the holy grails of NES collecting

>>479995
>>479981
Imagine trying to play this game on a typical shitty consumer CRT TV

>>473572
so does that mean that only that person has been doing it "the proper way"? go fuck yourself

mitebcool

>>480017
you aren't special for having the physical game, get over yourself

>>480014
How come?

>>480040
1. It was released in 1994
2. It was only a Blockbuster rental and never offered for retail sale

>>469291

Yeah, I think I might just give up getting Alien Logic running. I haven't been able to start it once because of a multitude of problems related to the virtual machines. The biggest is that half of them don't even support Windows 98 anymore let alone anything before that. I can get DOS running but then I have to face the problem of not being able to transfer Alien Logic to the DOS drive and then deal with the drivers I need for DOS regarding mouse control and even CDRom support.

The closest I came was getting Windows 98 running WITH sound in VMware Fusion but then it won't mount .bin or .cue. I can't run Alien Logic without mounting the disc and changing .bin to .iso just gives me a "where's the CD ya cheeky cunt" error in Alien Logic. In short, fuck it.

I rolled again and Starflight 2: Trading Routes of the Cloud Nebula. I've never found space trading games good but I do love interfacing with weird aliens so this might be a good pick. I'll start my challenge tomorrow.

>>480139
urrrm... why don't you just run dosbox?

>>480148

Can't get it to work with sound. Even if you run it without sound, there's all kinds of speed issues. Because this was a game I bought back in late 90's/early 2000's and couldn't get it to run then either, I thought I'd just fiddle around extra to see if I could get it to work.

>>480180
yeah, I realize that now, that's why I deleted the post. I didn't bother to look back at your older posts at first, which I should have

Should I post screenshots in between starting and finishing the game, or should I save them up until the end for a long picture?

Maybe a bit of both. Though I haven't really played anything that would give me awesome screens. Playing Tazmania at the moment. Its pretty tough so far and I bet it gets worse. Basically you run this road trying to catch and eat yellow kiwi birds before you run out of time. Meanwhile assholes in cars will swerve to hit you, pterodactyls pick you up and carry you back a ways, and wile e coyote uses a boxing glove on a spring to punch you in the face. Poor Taz

cool

>>479957
So, sailing back from the Americas after listening to Cat's plea to not fight the Spanish. Came along this in the tavern. Sounds pretty close to a big battle to mark the win against Spain or at least downfall?

>>480404
Yea thats game over... pretty much fuck that. Back to NES I go

Never heard of this thing

shit

Gauntlet ing for the first time guys. Wish me luck
I rolled rocket rangers. Bout to play on my Xbox, but I'll take an old fashion picture if I beat it

Nads

>>481096
My dad had a C64 and I would have loved that game as a little kid since I was a huge STS fanatic, but too bad it was Yurop-only.

>>481096
>>481108
tried that shit on VICE and on NTSC it's too fast and unplayable

>>480771
Well, spain seems to be defeated, but the game didn't end. I'm gonna go back to London since that is what I did this whole game when I beat Spain at Sea.

what do i win if i beat every console

>>481118
Wow, that was so so long. Sorry bout some of the text being cut off in this, didn't feel like fixing it. The ending picture will be posted next and put on the wiki.

>>481159
And what if I dont beat a game in the timeframe

>>479830
Seriously, I keep dodging Kaiser's punches, I screw up sometimes and he punches me but doesn't knock me down, but he never throws his uppercut move and he wins by points. It's frustrating.

>>481164
And, the end. Even though it shows all 6 characters, I only beat it with Otto, which I believe is completion of a scenario (I would count that as game completion for the sake of 7 day time limit).

>>481159
>>481175

I believe the satisfaction of playing a random game and experiencing something new or enjoyable is what you get.

If you fail the time frame or give-up, you go back a console and re-pick a game. Unless that rule was disputed which I saw talk about that.

>>481179
Never mind, I just figured out I'm an idiot and I was doing it wrong. Kaiser's my bitch now.

>>481189
how do I prove I won? I wanna play some games on my PSP

>>481205
From what I tell, it's honor system. Besides, you get no benefit for cheating these games and telling people on the internet you won. Screen shots are appreciated periodically if you want to entertain and an ending shot for the wikia if you beat something.

>>481197
I was lucky I only got Piston Rush'd once, and that was at the end of the round.

>>481000
Playing this rocket rangers game...makes little to no sense to me. Cannot figure out how to get more fuel(lunarium) and when I kill every plane I always return to the 'captured' screen.
Any help, or should I scrap and start anew with a game that is more comprehendable

>>481284
Now that I've gotten the hang of this game, it's not so bad.

>>481364
...And then I got to King Hippo. Maybe I should just stop talking about my progress.

>>481364
wait until you get to the last 2 guys and tyson/mr dream

>>481364
This game is fucking amazing. Probably my most emulated game and I play those more than anything. Right now im at Sandman. THIS MOTHERFUCKER. Fuck him and his mach speed uppercuts. He'll be a thing of the past eventually. I will complete this game before I die.

>>481324
I rerolled, could not figure out how you are suppose to get more fuel and you need more than you start with to get to the final boss.
Got a more straightforward looking game, so I will begin the three day challenge with skull&crossbones

>>481408
All these different types of punches... I don't understand.

>>481434
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0pq405swcw

>>481625
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJCAK8MNFK0

Okay, I've got this.

>>481625
Figuring out their patterns is pretty damn satisfying.

>>481809
That game is fun as hell, good luck.

>>453616
Tiny Toons is such bullshit, I'm giving up on it and re-rolling. I've lost.

"Jurassic Park", eh?

>>481809
Smash TV is awesome. You should grab a friend and bro-op that shit.

>>481813
Man...

>>482058
So this guy is an asshole.

>>482369
Oops, forgot comment.

The control scheme is kicking my ass. I'm so used to the arcade version that it's throwing me off, big time. Got through three rooms and died on a BIG MONEY room so we'll see how I do on my next run.

>>482367
...And Soda Popinski keeps shredding my asshole. Goddammit.

Dat map.

>>482369
Is that the NES version?
Couldn't you use two controllers for one player (both dpads at once)?

Fuck this game. I'm getting better though. Finally figured out that firing in a direction then hitting B locks your fire to that direction. Useful as fuck.

>>482441
I think I might actually be able to. That wouldn't count as cheating, would it?

I don't think owning two controllers for the NES would have counted as cheating
You could even get 2 people with 4 controllers using the Four Score

>>482451
>>482443
I got it working. It took some fuckery, because Acclaim was actually smart when they designed the mode and made it flip your controllers 90 degrees for it to work.

I bound my d-pad to controller 1 and the face buttons to controller 2. Fucking butter. I got this.

>that punch out

Hooboy... Do you want to know what LCD & emulation input lag does to the Tyson fight now, or would you rather find out at the end of day 3?

>>482443
>That wouldn't count as cheating, would it?

Fuck no, it was the best way to play the real thing.

Actually the best way was with 2 NES Advantage or Quickshot sticks, but the principle is the same.

>>482514
Badass. Anyone know if Smash TV has an ending? I don't remember it having one, so I'm willing to say fuck it and stop at the end of Map 1.

>>482536

It does in fact have an ending.

Even perfect speed runs of this game can take an hour or more.

Have fun.

>>482571
Christ, I'm screwed over the next three days.

>>482504
LALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU LALALA

Does it really get that bad?

>>482659

Failed horribly at Legacy of the Wizard. Re-rolled for this.

My body is ready.

Badass. Enjoy.

I have no idea what all these meals are doing, but I'm wolfing down

Duck Tales is kicking my ass.

What am I in for?

>>484518
Walljumping and VERY precise platforming. Just remember that there is no time limit.

>>484553
Are there continues?

Rolled...
I've never played any of theses games /vr/ a-am I fucked?

Oh well giving it a go. Are there any differences between the Japanese and NA versions of this? Going with the Japanese one.

>>486074
Nope.

You're not getting any hints from me either.

>>486085
I care not for your silly hints. I shall valiantly rape this game and restore peace to the galaxy at once!

Alright, let's do this.

>>486115
okay whatever fine good ruck wit dat

>>486159
Aaand that took all of 5 minutes.

>>486214
Apparently there's no 1-2.

sigh.

Good on you, I fucking love Gradius. Think I'll play Gradius III SNES when I get home.

>>486320
Shit is not easy that's fo sho.

Heheh, this guy can't do his attack if you just keep hitting him.

These bosses are pretty cool but some of their weak points are too easy to exploit.

>>486307
Red Warrior, every time.

>>486406
The worst part is the bubble zone. I only ever got past it with save states when I emulated it. Now that I have the cartridge I may have to actually develop skill for it.

Dag, yo.

Looks like you continue off the previous stage, though. Doesn't say if I have limited continues.

>>486498
God, finally.

This level was half luck, half trial-and-error.
Still pretty fun though.

>>486706
Wow, that was a lot shorter than I'd expected.

I didn't even get a chance to take a snapshot of the final boss. (Which was way too easy - I did it on my first try)
Oh well, I have to admit it was a pretty decent game, if a bit short.

So do I have to re-roll right now or can it wait a while?

>>482679
Well, I don't think I'll even get that far. This is the first time I got to the second round against Soda Popinski.

>>487987
Continue hell is a very real place, but it's satisfying when you finally get out of it.

>>488147
...Or not.

Hey gauntleteers, I was playing "Bastard!!: Dark God of Destruction" but haven't been playing much of it and my 3 days are up. I don't think I'd be able to finish it anyway... That game is obnoxiously difficult.

So rolling NES now......
"Dragon Scroll - Resurrection of the Demon Dragon"
This is probably going to be fuck all hard... And I was 2 games away from Dragon Warrior too.

>>482679
>>482659
>Does it really get that bad?

Barring complete blind luck by guessing his punches before he even telegraphs them, it's literally impossible. The latency added by emulator + LCD screen pushes the timing for his moves beyond what's physically possible for human reflexes.

Most of the later fighters have some moves that are impossible to react to under that sort of input lag, but ALL of Tyson's are too fast.

>>484427

You have got to be shitting me.

>>484636

Just wait till you meet his clone.

Actually you probably know him very well already.

>>489592
Eckh... I'm way too tired to explain everything that's happened. The game is an action rpg, and it's based entirely on information gathering (that I get from killing random enemies). Much like castlevania 2, the game is designed around me having to know everything I'm supposed to do before I get anywhere. Which means I get a clusterfuck of information from the enemies (I'm screencapping everything everyone says) and the world layout is entirely unintuitive. I'm just glad I'll have a week for this mess.
I made some progress already though. Got to level 6, got 1 of 5 magical books, and got a couple special items. I'm running out of places to go though, and because of the game's style, I have no idea if I'm going ahead of where I should be. I'm probably going to be mad stuck in this game. Frequently.

I tried anon's suggestion of disabling port 1 and using only port 2 for the Commodore 64 emulator, and it worked! I'm finally beginning my run of Quedex.

This is already confusing. If I touch the border between shades -- I can touch either shade, but not the border where they meet -- I get sent to the start. I have to jump over the borders.

This game is gonna be a clusterfuck I know it.

>>493636
Okay, so

>the first stage was getting past the described trap
>the second stage was hitting flashing dots
>the third stage was the same, but with quicksand-esque material that made your timer run out faster
>the fourth stage was the same as the second
>the fifth stage was a slalom run with a "GOAL" sign at the end
>when you run out of time (this took me two tries) you explode
>there's a bonus level that's essentially Simon Says

First plane defeated, this game is already pretty varied.

>>493669
When you lose you have to go all the way back to the first plane. Fuck.

The second plane is you in a maze, collecting keys to open doors. I have not figured out where the exit is. There are blocks that kill you instantly and force you back to the start of the first level.

>>493735
And people say NES games are cheap.

>>493735
Barely beat the second plane in time. This game is rather difficult, you're not allowed to stop for a moment to ponder what to do.

>Your game is "I'm Kid Dracula "! Now go play it
It took a bit to find a working rom for this game, so hopefully it was worth the effort

>>493742
It's a Commodore game.

This game has quite a few tricks. Quicksand, instant-kill spaces (which are clearly marked as such), invisible blocks that are appearing in Level 3, and that's just so far.

If you gave this to a casual gamer they would weep.

>>493795
I just got to the first boss and it's this guy, why am I fighting the KKK? Did Japan have an issue with them back when this game was made? He looks like he'll be easy enough to beat though.

>>493830
How is this game? I enjoy Konami self-parodies so I could give it a go.

>>493797
I've noticed something about the second plane.

Your first tactic is to try and grab all the keys and force your way through the maze.

However, some keys just open up paths that lead you back where you came, making the maze more difficult. If you only grab certain keys, you get through it quicker.

>>493842
Well it's been fun so far, so I'd recommend it.

>>493850
Never mind, you are supposed to get all the keys. Some of the keys open multiple doors.
