/vr/ - Retro Games

>>593734
Rules:

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


2) Rerolls are allowed under the following conditions:
The game you get requires some sort of hardware functionality that cannot be accurately emulated to complete (eg, Boktai)
The game would otherwise require cheats, hacks, or alteration of the software to complete due to a bug (eg, Cheetahmen II)

3) Playstation 1 games can be given up to 2 weeks to complete if the game is more than 2 discs.

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)

5) For Rule 4, if the game you fail is on the same path as another console, you have the choice to roll for that console instead of dropping down a level.

For games that have a high score or no end, the rule is:
If no high score has been established, set a goal and beat it
if you're playing something another anon already has a high score on, beat their high score
If you are playing extended rpgs/pokemon/whatever you get a week [Depending on the game needs to be asked in thread]


/vr/ thread guidelines:

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

The IRC channel is located at #gauntlet on irc.rizon.net, or use Mibbit.

Aw but I already did my shadowgate gauntlet (only two games bust still)

After playing through the first ten levels again and again, I learned that one can continue where they left off by starting again and using the D-pad to select a level up to the one you lost at.

I truly am stupid for wasting a day before figuring this out.

>>593834
Hey look it's just like Pac-Man!

>Your game is "Vice Project Doom"! Now go play it

Alright sounds good. Lets do this

What a badass

>>593871
/vr/, I hate this game. It's too difficult and I'm too casual.

>>593958
Whoa dude he's such a badass.

>>593963
Don't give up, if Arino can beat it you can too. At least, I think he beat it

This game is pretty neat. Seems like the sort of game I'd play even without the gauntlet

>>593976
But the levels loop, it does not end.

>>593992
True, but getting through all the levels surely counts as beating it.

>>593992
I was told there are 72 levels in all before it loops. I have to get through all 72 levels. It's a good thing tomorrow's Friday and I'm uncool enough to be home, otherwise I don't think I'd have a shot (I get limited time in which I'm able to vidya on weekdays).

>>593969
Made it to 30 so far.

>>593989
Yeah, you get some good games mixed in with the bad. My first run was where I got to play Guerrilla Wars (NES), Dragon View (SNES), and Quedex (C64), three games I'd've never heard of if not for this.

whoa, when was this revived? I searched for it in the catalog last weekend and a couple times this week, and nothing. I assumed this thing had died out. I would restart, but I'm playing through the TG16 version Dragon's Curse/Wonder Boy 3

>>594014
Yesterday, I believe.

>>594006
Look, an uncensored swastika in a NTSC NES game!

This guy is kicking my ass. I hope this doesn't have limited continues

Nevermind.

>>594041
I'm stopping for the day. Got to Round 44, more than halfway there. I think if I really go at it tomorrow I can beat this.

>>594059
> Vice - Project Doom
that game looks stupid hard

>>594170
Its been pretty manageable so far. This boss is looking pretty intimidating though

>>594170
it looks like a cyberpunk castlevania to me

The difficulty took a pretty big jump. I'm playing really badly now too which doesn't help, I'm struggling to even get back to that boss fight.

This game is awesome.

Finally! I beat that boss, but I was too busy cheering to take a screenshot of it exploding. The game is getting pretty tough, but the levels are short enough that it isn't too bad

Does this count as an RPG in /vr/'s opinion?

>>594403
I'd say so, yeah.

Oops. I started at GBC.
Oh well, I'll do NES & SNES next.

>>594407
>an el grande welcoming party
god, why do I find this so hilarrious

>obligatory mech battle

Man, being a space policeman seems tough

I'm having a bitch of a time getting Green to run on anything, I'm gonna roll a NES game like I'm supposed to.

I got.....

This... thing..

>>594575
iirc pretty sure that game is mostly a Super Mario Bros 3 clone so it shouldn't be too bad

>>594607
Yeah, it is. It's fucking hard for me to get used to.

>mfw side scrolling jump over holes games are what I'm worst at.

Ahhh I finally destroyed this boss. It feels good
I'm absolutely loving this game. I think I might end up having to buy an actual copy

>>594710
I still have no idea what is going on with the story though

>>594717
space policeman/detective. That job would suck.

>>594710
10/10 game, although it's really fucking hard like every NES game ever.
I love how many combinations of powerup you can make by the way,

I just rolled Times of Lore. Will start real soon.

So it seems they decided the game wasn't hard enough, and added running water to push me off of platforms while I fight. Also why am I even in the sewer?

Soo... Ghoul School

>>594883
NOPE.
I FEEL BAD FOR YOU, SON.


Starting Times of Lore. If I assume correctly, it's an RPG.

I'm struggling even getting to the boss at this point, let alone even doing any damage to it

Kinda disappointed that its another mech, but at least it has a completely different pattern

I just can't seem to do anything against this boss. I know his pattern, but it's just too hard for me to keep up with. Apparently theres 4 more levels after this. Hopefully they aren't quite this hard

>"oh hey this may be cool, a retro challenge"

>mfw
Sweet, sweet victory. Only 4 more levels to go, I am not prepared

I took a break for a few hours and suddenly this game is much easier to handle. Getting quite close to finishing up. Has anyone else made any progress?

This game is making less and less sense as it goes on. At least the action is good

Glad the gauntlet thread is back up. I rolled an NES game while it was down and got Mermaids of Atlantis. It's pretty much just reverse tetris ("blocks" go from bottom to top) but a hundred times shittier. No high score had been set so I just beat the default high score of 20,000 (I got 22,410) which was still pretty difficult to achieve. I took a break after beating that, but I guess I'll roll SNES in a little bit.

>>595237
>doesn't understand the purpose of the gauntlet

>>596265

I just played this game for the first time the other month.

I was really taken aback at how great it was, and how I've never heard anyone talk about it. Probably one of the best NES games I've ever played.

Managed to hook me enough that I stayed up and finished the game in a single sitting. It's a difficult game, but it's never unfair.

>>596279
it's bubble bath babes. you rolled a (cleaned up) porn game.

>>596318
I'd never heard anything about it either, but it has really surprised me. This game really should be more popular, but I guess it was released too late in the NES' console cycle

Rolled "Raiden Trad" for SNES. I'm super pumped to play this. Bullet Hells are muh faves. Also, if a game has co-op, it's allowed to be beaten with a friend, right? I just need to specify that it was beaten 2-player?

>>596331
Damn. Well hopefully I'm skilled enough to see some boobies if I play the real version.

I'm done. My god, that final boss was so difficult that I was about to just give up

>Your game is "Mega Man Soccer"! Now go play it

Man I haven't seen a gauntlet thread in a while. I kept thinking about posting a new one, but I lost the links and I completely lost track of time.

This was the "I was going to do that yesterday. What? Yesterday was a week and a half ago?" type of lost track of time.

>>596923
My bro and I used to play Mega Man Soccer a lot back in the day. Have fun with it, Anon!

Alright /vr/ I'm giving this a go, wish me luck.

>>594041
It's a buddhist swastika, not a nazi one.

>>598208
Good luck, faggot, you'll need it.

Resuming.

Guys, I wanna participate, but I'm already playing Legacy of the Wizard, and I want to beat that first.

But I want to play the gauntlet. I wish I got a few shitty puzzlers and an obscure JRPG that makes no sense.

Made it to 56 so far. Right now I generally lose my last life and have to continue (fortunately unlimited continues) every 2 or 3 levels.

>>599451
You can finish that before you start. There's no rush, really.

>>599591
Got to 64, and holy shit I found an exploit!

If you alternate the A button and D-pad, you'll repeatedly latch on to a given enemy. Each time you latch on it instantly inflates by one sprite, so you can take out an enemy in almost a third of the time. This is really helping me, I just beat a ten-enemy level without losing a life.

>>599717
You didn't know you could disengage enemies you were blowing up? How did you make it to level 64?

>>599751
No, I knew THAT, but I just found out that repeatedly disengaging and re-engaging blows enemies up at a much faster rate than the just pumping in air.

Anyway... I'm stuck at 64.

>>599824
After failing and restarting thirty times, I beat it without losing a single life. I don't know what happened.

>>599865
I am suddenly breezing through this, I got to level 70 before I got another Game Over.

Also,
>SFC

Heh.

>>599886
Last level!

>>599902
Oh my goodness this is so great every enemy is bunched over there and I'm just picking at them.

>>599910
It looped back to Round 1, I beat it!

>>599920
grats

looks like it's time to start this up again
last time I left off, I was at the GB/GBC level again, after failing to complete Dick Tracy for the Genesis. I'm rollin' Game Gear this time since I did GBC last time.
>our game is "Terminator, The"! Now go play it
oh goody

>>599920
Rolling now.
>Shodai Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun

Shit, I don't speak runes, if this is an RPG or something else heavily text-based I'm rerolling, otherwise, wish me luck.

>>600007
it's a beat 'em up, I think that specific one has some light RPG-esque elements
it's a good game, unlike this terminator game gear shit, which I probably won't be able to beat.

>>600023
I found an English fan translation, so I'm good to go. Part RPG, you say? Guess that means I get a week.

>>600075
I can only have a four-letter name, not unexpected. Anyone want to pick it for me?

>>600084
Goku

>>600084
Eh, never mind, I'll just go with FAGT like I've been doing with name choices.

>>600084
小島秀夫

>>600105
It's English letters, but is this okay?

>>600116
I'm not sure if this is an attempt at an accent or just an odd translation.

I really like the music so far, though.

http://youtu.be/8b0j97mtZps

>>600157

Arrite just means "Alright"

Are you playing the AGTP patch?

>>600157

It's just an accent. They're a bunch of teenage punks, so they talk kind of roughly in the Japanese, and the translator tried to carry that over.

>>600175
>>600157

This. I never played the english translation, but in the japanese version all the NPC use kansai dialect.

>>600175
Okay, I wasn't sure about that. I usually don't play games that haven't been translated into English.

>beating up women for exp
I like this game already and I haven't even left the hotel.

>>600205

Well, is the closest thing there is to a proto Yakuza. You should also try Kunio-tachi no Banka.

>>600205
There is a PSP game just like that.
I forget what it's called though.
Something badass rumble.

>>600242
Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble

Rollin NES

Arch Rivals... stereotypical black guy named Tyrone v.s. stereotypical white guy named Vinnie.

THIS MIGHT BE FUN.

>inb4 10 minutes from now "FUCK I HATE YOU GAME"

>>601265
FUCK YOU GAME I HATE YOU FUCKIN FAGGOT GAME

>>596923
Alright, I'm back about about to play Mega Man's Soccer. Might be cool

>>601556
>tfw scored an own goal trying to kick the ball away from my goal

God damn

Resuming Japanese gangster beat 'em up RPG.

>>602624
Beat Takeshi (this hoodlum that has a vendetta against me for stopping him from beating my friend within an inch of his life). For whatever reason I did almost zero damage, despite my grinding, but I eventually beat him.

>>602694
>Beat Takeshi
Heh

>>602694
Alright, it's been explained that this gang of thugs has been terrorizing students at this one school. I'm from a different school but my uniform is similar which is what caused them to attack me. A friend of mine just got sent into intensive care because of these hooligans.

Anyone else think the woman in pic looks like she has Sonic's head?

>>602730
I had no idea I made a pun there.

>>602746
Not really a pun, just the name of a Japanese comedian/actor/the guy responsible for the worst game of all time, Takeshi's Challenge

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeshi_Kitano

>>599920
Grats. I noticed that it looked like you never cut the levels to try and get rid of monsters, did it just get impossible to do that later on?

>>602845
Actually it kinda is. You can only cut in certain spots, and in later levels you don't have the free space or time to cut off large slices. You can create cracks to block their paths, though; that's pretty much necessary to get through the game.


Alright, I'm done beating up random people for the night. I think this game will take a while.

Stage 1 - NES
>Your game is "Mendel Palace"! Now go play it

never played it before, it's kinda cool once you find out what the flying fuck you have to do to win

>Your game is "Q*Bert"! Now go play it
Here I go. Heard of this game, but I don't know anything about it.

>>602967
That was fast. I like this game.

Okay... Been meaning to try this...
Is emulating games on a PSP acceptable? For the ones that can be emulated there, I mean...

>Your game is "Top Gun The Second Mission"! Now go play it

Oh boy!

>>603124
Okay... I guess those rants by AVGN sort of have some truth behind them...

Also how the fuck do I fire missiles... TIme to look for the manual.

>Your game is "Zen Intergalactic Ninja"! Now go play it
A licensed NES game doesn't sound good, but let's give it a go.

>>602995
Up to 3-4 again. I hear there's 9 stages, this could take a long time.

>Your game is "Galaga"! Now go play it
Phew

>>603487
I'm thinking the gauntlet generator is not very random, not by a longshot, because I've clicked the NES link and gotten Zen numerous times. I'm actually really curious to play it though. I totally forgot about that ghetto ass cartoon and toyline.

Your game is "The Simpsons - Bart's Nightmare"! Now go play it

>>603897

Please explain me the Gauntlet, I don't get it.

>>603947
goto game site listed. mash button until game appears. play that game if you have it. Via emulator or actual console. report in occasionally with updates and failures.

> Your game is "Tom and Jerry in Fists of Furry"! Now go play it

I refuse to play this.

>>604023
It wasn't even that bad.

>>604026
But I dislike Tom and Jerry

> Your game is "Twinkle Star Sprites"! Now go play it

Oh man, a loli game

Will play it

>>604037
That game is excellent, good luck

>Your game is "Wurm Journey to the Center of the Earth"! Now go play it

okay downloaded the rom, the emulator and the manual booklet thing, my run begins tomorrow

for other NES bros, check this out for your games manual

http://www.digitpress.com/library/manuals/nes/

Level 4. Hell yeah.

Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger!

>>604184

>>604195
Oh boy!

Resuming Shodai. Currently lost.

>>604838
Oh man the Subway theme is kickass.

http://youtu.be/cZLotOL7DMA

>>604870
Curse my inability to read runes not letting me know touching this would electrocute me.

>>604876
This game is starting to get kinda hard. I haven't run into a super strong enemy like Takeshi again due to my grinding, but I just had two ten-on-one fights in a row before having to fight these five thugs (who by the way kicked my ass because I had almost no health left).

At least I got experience for the first two fights. If you don't beat every opponent in a fight (which, unless it's a really strong enemy or one of those mobbish fights it shouldn't be a problem) you get zero exp.

>>604202
Never noticed before, but that is so the yellow lion.

>>604932
I wish I could figure out how to not get so many random encounters. Every five steps someone wants to fight me, which wouldn't be bad if I didn't have to go from my hotel, downstairs, outside, through town, into a subway station, taking a train (that will depart without you if you get into a fight while it's there), go to another town, then find a bridge. But, having twenty-five different fights kills me before I can even reach my destination, and you always start at the same spot.

>>605130
Fucking game! I've missed the train three times in a row because people pick a fight with me RIGHT when it gets there!

>>605156
I fucking hate this fucking game so fucking much I have not been able to go to where I need to go in the past half hour, I am at a high enough level that I can take out most people in three hits but they keep sending out so many fucking encounters it's impossible for me to get there, I got to the streets of the town I need to be in ONCE and then got killed almost immediately.

I have a feeling this game would be easier if I had a second player with me, but I think that would be cheating in the Gauntlet, wouldn't it?

Just starting this with NES.

Rolled Mitsume ga Tooru.

The game seems nifty, but I can't find an English translation. Currently using Russian moonrunes. Anybody know where I can get a translation?

>>603171
BLACKJACK DOWN

And apparently missiles are useless on this guy. Also WHY DOES THIS GAME NOT HAVE ANY PAUSE BUTTON.

>>605259
I need to take a break from this game. It's pissing me off too much.

>>605308
OH BOY

>>605324
Well... That wasn't as difficult as people make it out to be. Unless there were some serious improvements over the first game.

So, reading the manual gave me some useful information. Such as how the programmers kindly disabled barrel rolls when submarines, lasers, a forest or lightning are on screen, because they kindly assumed people would spam them.

On to destroy a helicopter or something, then...

>>605308
Because there's no pause when you're on the HIGHWAY TO THE DANGER ZONE RIDE IN-TO THE DANGER ZONE.

>>605334
And... Dead. At least now I know winning a dogfight acts as a checkpoint now...

By the way... Thank you >>604059 . I had found the basic controls for the game, so I didn't bother looking for the actual manual, but after you posted that link I decided to read the whole thing anyway, and found some useful information.

>>605308
Can you pause real life?

Also, resuming. Maybe I'll have better luck with fighting the indetermably pissed off population of Japan.

>>605637
Finally fought my way to the bridge. Apparently I'm going to do some type of vigilante justice to take down the Union. I was told to find this secret entrance in the sewers and then beat up some girl in there.

>>605859
I get to fight the Sonic woman!

>>605970
Dammmit I've been set up. Got led to a sewer to attack a base, but the guy leading me there was an enemy.

Hi /vr/ Been a while. I just got Punchout and am excited to dive back into this.

>>606172
If you're playing on an emulator, you might as well reroll. The lag on an emulator makes Tyson's moves impossible to see in time.

>>606197
I have the NES cart so I plan on doing that.

>>606161
I just beat his ass.

>>606278
I remember that game being hard as balls.

>>606291
It very much is hard as balls, though I've grinded up to the point that I don't take much damage unless I'm against a boss.

Speaking of which, some punk in a purple suit asked me to join the Union. I said no, and now my ass is being handed to me.

>>606310
Beat him.

You don't fuck with the Alliance.

Now to find out where the Alliance went, hopefully traveling through this town won't be as difficult as traveling through Shinbashi.

>>606321
Arrggh!

You know that episode of Spongebob where he's stuck in Rock Bottom and he keeps trying to get a bus but something keeps happening to stop him?

This is what I am experiencing right now. I just need to get to the next town but it won't let me because assholes won't stop trying to fight me!

>>606235
Good luck then. Have you ever beaten it before?

>>606451
Got where I needed, beat up some thugs, rescued my friends, now I'm going back to the first town that took me forever to traverse the first time, and I am just plowing through it like butter because of my higher levels. It's very cathartic.

>>606598
Yay I get to watch some SPORTS!

Actually I'm only there to save my friend's girlfriend, but I get to save her at a SPORTS stadium!

>>606702
Some guy gave me a bike. I can go to any town instantly. This would've been great to have when I literally could not traverse through town, but I'm glad to have it now.

>>606728
Oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit.

>>606747
You know what, I'm just going to stop now and pick it up later. No need to start this fight when I have to leave soon.

>Your game is "Action 52"! Now go play it

Fuck off.

Tyson is raping me. I will come back to it later.

>>606752
Resuming, time to kick some ass!

>>607863
Oh shit shit they won't stop coming I've taken out at least twelve and they won't stop.

>>607882
At least twenty so far.

>get G.I. Joe - The Atlantis Factor
>first level boss
>kicking my ass, can't figure out how to attack him
>look up GameFAQs guide
>"just duck when he attacks with his hammer"
>attacks so rapidly I can't time it properly
>ducking to long results in him kicking you in the dick

Yeah I'm too casual for this shit.

>>607906
Has to be thirty-two so far oh fuck where are they coming from?

>>607954
Okay, after about forty enemies they stopped and I think I can

OH FUCKSHIT

THIS IS EVERY BOSS I'VE BATTLED IN THE GAME

>>607976
I died and have to do all forty people again.

I am in shame.

>>607919
I used to have that game. I always used to make sure I had the satellite thing deployed and the triple shot and just crouch and hope he died before I did. It usually worked.

>>608023
Beat them. I beat them all.

>Kunio obtained 13307 points of experience
>13307 points of experience
>THIRTEEN THOUSAND AND THREE HUNDRED SEVENTY FOUR POINTS OF EXPERIENCE HOLY SHIT

>>608092
Okay, I need to take another break. That was too intense; this game really gets you into itself.

I'm using NESTopia now and my screenshots are coming out really squished. They're at 602x240 I think. How do I make it the right aspect ratio?

>>596462
oh shit son, loved that game as a kid! Easy as shit too

>>609220
Weird. I was using nestopia for my sceenshots and other than turning out a little small they were fine. Not sure how to help

Your game is "Pokémon Yellow "! Now go play it

Fuck Punch Out. Fuck it hard.

Your game is "Dragon's Lair" (NES)! Now go play it

>>608121
Resuming destroying a crime mob that has no connection to me and doesn't affect my life in any way besides my friend's girlfriend's university being terrorized by them.

>>610685
I warned you, man, I warned you about Punch-Out.

>>610948
Entering a tower that supposedly has a large group of hoodlums, got into a fight, get a random ally for the fight, and one of the women starts kissing my ally. I wish I could make a .gif of this.

>>610970
Oh doublefuck it's another marathon fight. I have an ally this time, but, from what I've noticed, NPC allies do zero damage to enemies and only distract them.

>>611046
Allies keep coming in at regular intervals.

This is actually making the fight HARDER, because I can't get to the enemies without being hit by my allies who are trying to hit the enemies (yeah, your enemies can't hit each other, but your allies can hit you, and even do damage).

>>611068
>punching enemey
>get punched in the back of the head by ally
>enemy has time to punt you across the room
>repeat

>>611082
Beat them all despite the "help" from my friends.

>12426 points of experience

They're being really generous with exp lately, maybe the devs realized how annoying the ally concept is.

>>611105
Okay, the head of the Union was killed by a new guy who took over (was an ally for a short time but recently turned just like the other guy). I grinded a few levels and found my friends sprawled out as in pic. The Union is proclaimed dead, but I'm still going to track down that one guy because I hate that one guy (both in-character and me actually hating the guy, he's an ass).

>>611267
From my grinding I unlocked a Mach Punch, it's almost unblockable and I'm taking out these high level enemies with ease.

Fighting this strongman.

>>611293
Here it comes!

>>611310
Forgot pic.

OH SHIT HE HAS A GUN THAT'S CHEATING

>>611323
I was shot to death. Have to go through that area all over again.

>>611341
Beat Shodai Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun.

It's difficult, in a good way. Though, part of that may be because I'm awful at beat 'em ups.

Ah well. I'll roll for GB/GBC (last time I got a really shitty game called Lego Alpha Team, it was impossible to figure out so I had to reroll for GG), though I might not start it until later.

>>611439
Rolled Donkey Kong Land.

I've played the DKC series, the DKL series is like that, right? Please tell me DKL isn't as bad as the GBC port of the first Donkey Kong Country.

>>611492
Played through the first level; the music is exactly the same as the GBC DKC, though it's not as ugly because they aren't trying to make it look exactly like the SNES version.

>>611531
Well I suck at this game.

>>611559
Okay, I think it was just the ice physics in the second level that got me, on the third level I swung by easily. Maybe I just needed to get the physics down.

>>611589
Hmm, it seems so far the game has alternated levels as

>jungle
>snow
>ship

Repeatedly.

>>611680
Whoa underground tunnels!

>>611771
Beat the first world, and I was surprised to find that DKL has a piece of music that was also in Blast Corps.

Really, take a listen.

http://youtu.be/rDoDZxoQvfM
http://youtu.be/OGePLIbxL7Y

As a Blast Corps fan I'm wondering if there's any other familiar music.

>>611835
I do not like underwater levels.

>>611862
Have fuuuun.

>>611862
Beat World 2, took out a clam.

>>611906
That level took out almost all of my lives.

>>611947
Trippy.

>>605356
So after a long break and one day wasted we come back to-OH SHIT SON IT'S A FOREST WATCH OUT

>>612008
This level is shit.

Shit, shit, shit. Rare, why did you let this shit level into your otherwise really good game?

>>604059

this has to be the worst game I have ever played, it took me 3 hours to beat the dang thing. If I rented this when I was a kid, I would be pissed.

5 levels, infinite continues, shit bosses and a shit ending.

>>612315

rolling for SNES...

>Your game is "Super Back to the Future 2"! Now go play it

welp

>>612073
Doesn't help that the pilots before that part are more difficult than those you fight one-on-one in the previous level. And they come in groups of 3-4.

Oh well.

>>612342
You got the only good Back to the Future game, congrats.

Ok lets go

woah this game is great

The enemy spawning is a bit weird (depending on the area they spawn infinitely, like the zelda 2 dungeons), but the mechanics are fun. You find keys to unlock the doors around the level and you can wall jump off of anything with your staff and shoot shockwaves at enemies

megaman bosses

found his sweet spot

oh jeez

>>612781
Amateur game general guy ?

he shoots blue fire out of it and then wiggles it around

>>612783
nop

>>612781
Dat boner

these water controls are horrible

ok ive worked it out, gotta jump when he goes up in the air and then shoot him the second your low enough

kawaii

flying banana enemies because why the fuck not

this level has the strangest fucking enemies

this guy was the cliche hits the floor and damages you if youre touching the floor boss

also you had to attack him from behind because he used his mallet as a shield

Got a game over, the next level was a desert where you could use the clouds as platforms but I didn't take any screenshots

More tomorrow

>>612163
I have this one on gameboy, beat it twice. I think it's a crazy fun platformer for the early gameboy.

>>612370
>killed by approaching a missile from behind

I can't imagine how retarded this must look irl.

>>605637
But racing games usually have a pause button, and I don't recall drivers being able to pause in real life races. By that logic, no game should have the ability to pause.

>>607919
Wasn't that the infamous game where the opening scene is actually the ending?

>>613905
You know... I never thought the most difficult obstacle I'd be facing in a game would be a tree.

Day 2 almost done and I can't even clear Mission 2... Oh dear...

I think it's safe to say I've failed on Q*Bert, my time runs up in a couple hours and I haven't even beaten level 4. I'll reroll.

>Your game is "Balloon Fight"! Now go play it
Shit. I played a remake of this on my Zune and it was hard. This better not be another impossible arcade port.

>>615432
It is.

This is great. I'm assuming there's a finish to this one.

>>615457
Darn.
How long is it?

>>615503
>There's no point in covering solutions for separate levels - after a time, they start to repeat themselves endlessly, and it's the same stuff over and over. You should be able to accustom yourself to it.
Fuck that. Rerolling.

>Your game is "Bump & Jump"! Now go play it

That got tough fast.

I love the music on this stage.

>>612342

Day 1 begins

Biff Jr. is a faggot

Fell in a hole. have to restart.

Backtracking: The level

Kid Nini again, here's boss 4

ice level

>>616752
>>616771
Can't seem to find info on this game, care to help?

>>616794
It's kid niki not kid nini if that helps, I made a typo

if you google kid niki 3 rom theres an emuparadise rom and also theres information about the game here - http://www.romhacking.net/translations/651/

I took a break after beating Sub-Terrania for exams and stuff. Now I'm all done and ready to move on to the PC Engine.

16 and 7, with 16 itself counting as a 0 for the hundreds and tens.

Game 7 it is.

>>617073
Well fuck.

>>617083
Japanese version it is.

>>617089
>Japanese version of Ballistix

I cannot allow this

http://www.mediafire.com/?anm6u4mab9i074i

>>617089
It's a game where you shoot metal balls at a black ball to try and get it through a goal at the top of a field while gravity pulls it down to the bottom to your goal. Seems made for two player, but has a series of single player stages.

>>617104
crossfire? CROSSFIRE? CROSSFYAH!!!!!

>>617120

>>617101
Thanks, I should have tried (U) [h1] before (J), but it doesn't really matter. The only difference is that the Japanese version has you collecting letters to spell out COCONUTS, while the American one has something else (R----C-E is what I have so far). The game is entirely English, even in the options menu.

>>617120
Pretty much, yeah.

>>616084

2eazy4me

>>612163
Resuming Donkey Kong Land. Currently still in this shit level.

Oh boy not Kirk and his mirror again

come on dude, this is a terrible port of the arcade game

>>618758
This level is the shittiest shit this side of the Great Mighty Poo. I've been playing it FOREVER and I only now got to THE LETTER K. HOW FUCKING LONG IS THIS LEVEL?

>>618847
Beat it!

The O, N, and G were right next to each other and the level ended immediately after. Rare confirmed for master rusemen, but still, that level was SHIT. How did it not get axed immediately?

1984 Biff has the easiest pattern ever

>>618903
pleasenonotanothercloudlevelidon'twanttogothroughmoreshit

>>618931
>Expresso is in this level

...why wasn't he in the first 50% of the game?

>>618931
Fucking hell man. I haven't played that game since the 90s and seeing those clouds is giving me flashbacks of how damn frustrating that game is. Way, way, way more frustrating than the SNES game.

>>618939
Beat World 3, now currently in DA BIG STINKIN' CITY.

>>618951
What I've heard from others is true, every Rare game has some major flaw somewhere in the game that keeps it from being perfect. Cloud levels are DKL's flaw.

gone back to the 50s, I should clear this tomorrow

>>618963
Taking another break, I'll probably finish it tomorrow (well, I better, it'd be the third day).

Preview of things to come in pic.

>>593734
>GBA OR Sega Master System

wait...why is a non retro system included?

>>619090
Carried over from the days where this was a /v/ thing, I guess.

Let's see how this goes.
So far the intro music is nice.

>make it all the way to Genesis
>get horrid shovelware, booted back to GB
>horrid game gear shovelware, booted back to SNES
My second SNES game is that viking puzzle game made by Blizzard. How bad could it be, it's fucking Blizzard.

>>619206
God damnit.
This is gonna be a long 3 days.

First time on the gauntlet here
>Your game is "James Bond Jr "! Now go play it
OH GOD DAMN IT

>>618963
Oh god yes I remember those levels, they're fucking raging. Not TOO hard that it's impossible to beat, but raging as fuck. Good luck.

>>619087
>>618963
>>618939
>>618931
god this looks horrible... how did they think that porting that pretty much porting the SNES sprites the gameboy was a good idea?

Alright! I'm feeling like taking a break from DQ5 after a ton of grinding, so let's see what I

Oh. Oh goddamnit

AAAAAAH THE FUCK

>>621521
This and "Adventure is your destiny!" is all the plot I get, I guess.

>>621554
this was as deep as most plots got back then, that's why stuff like DQ and FF were revolutionary at the time, I mean if you think back even the first zelda didn't have much of a plot

>>621579
There'd probably be more if I had the manual. I ran into the old guy again (or a different one?) who told me temples are on levels 1, 5 and 10. I thought that meant the room he was in was a temple, but nope.

I'm going to need more healers.

>>621593
Luckily, dying had me wake up in the temple instead of facing a game over screen. Guess I'm rolling with these guys for a little while longer to scope things out.

>>621593
>There'd probably be more if I had the manual.

here yah go
http://mikesrpgcenter.com/manuals/nes/Swords_and_Serpents.pdf

>>621605
Thanks, bro.

>>621605
oh shit, I just realized that some one drew out the maps for up to level 6 on that thing... did I just give you means to cheat by?

>>621626
I didn't read past the "go kill dragon in maze" plot and how to get in my inventory. Thanks for the warning, I'll leave it at that.

>>621637
the maps start after the "he's waiting" thing, just so you know

>>619216
what was the "shovelware"? just wondering for entertainment purposes

>>621659
Son of a bitch. Well, I've got some graph paper handy from the last time I played Wizardry.

>>621694
Thank you again for finding this manual. I might never have figured some of this shit out. Hopefully this will make combat a bit less tedious.

Back at it again. There's really not much to say about this game, you bump and jump and crash.

>>621719
Making a new party with more casters, meaning MORE STAT ROLLING EXCITEMENT

This line is great, though

>Your game is "Kid Kool"! Now go play it
H-h-here goes.

This is going a lot more smoothly with two casters. Leveled up finally.

>>621889
Is it as bad as the AVGN made it out to be?

Holy shit, something's sort of actually happening. After finding a spell called Sting in a random corner (which the manual told me is a lightning spell that costs 2 MP instead of the 1 that my current spells cost) I ignored a warning that several men were standing guard ahead, and ran into these guys a couple steps later.

>>621987
Dear lord, why wasn't I warned.

Yes, it is.

The little shit has tons of momentum. Not just "mario" momentum, or even "luigi in mario 2" momentum. It takes two seconds to bring him to a stop after running.

The game does play a bit easier when you have a little furry thing to throw at enemies. Problem is, you get that furry thing by running past some bush. What's right next to that bush? An enemy, too close to stop running into.

Unlimited continues are nice, but considering that if I don't finish in 3 hours, I still "lose," I'm forfeiting.

>Your game is "Bio Miracle Baby Upa "! Now go play it

>>622042
>Bio Miracle Baby Upa
That game actually looked kind of interesting when I saw it on GCCX

>>622057
Very kirby-esque

>>622042
3 days, not 3 hrs

>>622105
No, that's a funny coincidence. If you don't finish the game in 3 hours, you get the shitty ending.

>>622115
oh... that's the most retarded thing I have ever heard of

>>622119
Actually, they describe it in game as "3 days," but there's a constant clock running.

So, since it never resets, it kinda nullifies infinite continues.

>>622125
Don't forget that the king has the power of immortality, that he uses to give you said continues, but can still die.

Better save my game. Luckily, you can save anywhere.
no
oh god no
NESSSSSSSS

Wait.

Are we allowed to use save states if the game has absolutely no save points, or do we just pause the emulator in the background and hope that the computer stays on?

>>622196
If you need to go do something else, then I think a save state would be fine. Just don't abuse them to beat the game

Hey look, I'm getting the hang of this!

>Sub Terrania
I literally just purchased that game and it's on its way to my house. This is weird guise.

>Star Tropics 2
Well, I haven't played the first one so I'll play that instead. I've been meaning to play this for a while actually

>>622524
Startropics 1 and 2 are on my top 10 list of favorite NES games

So, last day is gone, and I never got beyond that forest. Well, actually I was a bit busy so I didn't get much playtime beyond getting stuck there.

Will probably reroll in the weekend, seeing as I failed this one.

>>622524
Quick tip: don't get greedy in the first level.

This game is really unresponsive. How am I supposed to win when the A button only works half the time?

>>622738
I wish I'd looked at that a little bit sooner. Oh well

Stage 5, finally. Only crashed once so far.

Wow, what.

Beat the first boss, though I forgot to go collect those bottles

>>593734
here i go...

OH GAWD
ok here i go

this level was fucking ridiculous

>>622767
I just started playing thru this last night. Got up to the 2nd area and saved and quit. I like owning the cart. Always a fun game to play

I regret ever uploading this version of the "general image", it has /v/ filth all over it. Why don't you use the corrected version? Does /vr/ really think daily dose is funny?

>>593734

Awh yeah. Gauntlet is alive again

What the fuck did I just get into

>>624525
Just keep running, enjoy the music and pick fruits

>misread OP
>think the rules are 3 days to play all ten games
I may actually participate now.

>>624557
I got a skateboard. Fuck yeah

>>624557
Is it supposed to look like that

>>624576
Bad ROM?
Just keep going until it crashes

and in contrast Final Biff was easy as shit

Not being able to tell what the fuck I'm jumping on sure does add to the challenge

>>624609

Rolling for GB/GBC

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

gonna leave this for Fri/Sat/Sun

Is that supposed to be a chilli
Get it, cause it's an ice level, so it's chill..y

>>624703

>>624707
Whatever it is, it drains your health. What a dick.

>>624643

wait a minute this is some sort of shitty tetris puzzle game, shit has no end

Can I reroll? Do I roll for GB/GBC again?

>>624806
Just get your best score and move to the next system

>>624814

but any score is highscore, this feels wrong

gonna roll for Genesis

>Your game is "Lost World: Jurassic Park , The"! Now go play it

>>625186
>Your game is GTA: Jurassic Park edition!

Lucky fuck.

Resuming, final day.

>>621439
It honestly doesn't look that bad in motion.

>>625212
Plus, it should be mentioned that, from what I understand, Rare basically made this game in response to Miyamoto mentioning (not sincerely, he retracted it later) that people only liked DKC for its graphics. So not having top notch graphics is justified.

>>625227
Wow, this game has a level with the moving poles from DKC3!

...wait...

>checks release dates
>DKL (1995)
>DKC3 (1996)

Huh, so DKC3 got that from DKL?

Combined with the knowledge that the boss music in this game is reused for Blast Corps., it seems that Rare liked a lot of the ideas in this game.

>>625260
Got to K. Rool.

>>625303
Beat him. He didn't do a credits fake-out like on the SNES, but he took a lot of hits to die.

GB beaten. Due to some real life engagements, I'm not going to start Genesis until Friday.

>>593734
Wizards and Warriors
Do RPG rules apply?

>>625368
eff. It's been a long time since I've played W&W and I sucked at it when I was a kid. Into level 2

I'm that guy who started playing this, i really want to show you an ending...

>>625628
miniboss before a final boss (maybe)

>>625659
AUWGH SHET
Now you tell me that big boss is my brother!

>>625684
he jelly

>>625690
Beat him with only a pixel of health remaining, and guess what? It's not over yet...

>>625796
there was some evil clown who was really easy to defeat with sonic booms.

I don't even know where am i.

>>625875
game over?

>>626023
GAME OVER

>Inspired by Slash and Alix, the people of Neo N.Y. began to change. No longer terrorized by Kruz, Raptor, and their army of Morphs, the pepole took control of their lives and their city. There were jobs to do. There were parks to walk in...

World 2 of god knows how many.

>>626097
forgot pic

See you later, i'm done with SNES.

And thats two bosses down, and a baby dolphin saved

>>626108
Ok next up on your to-do list, Gameboy

I think I missed a few items in this dungeon which is kind of annoying but oh well

>>627136
You're fine. Items found in dungeons don't carry over to other parts of the game (except 1-ups).

More importantly, did you find the hidden Heart Container on the island?

>>628940
Oh wait, you're already in Chapter 3? Never mind.

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

Welp, let's dance

>>631025
You got lucky. You could've gotten a bad game.

>>626289
Me again. I rolled this.

>>631267
I really hate the level design, it's so difficult to do tricky jumps with jetpack...

>>631301
I'm not gonna post too many pictures, there's nothing much to show. The gun is kinda weak and has a short range. Boss battles are no big problem though.

>>631025
making good progress i think

Well ok, here goes nothing.

>>593734
>Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Good thing I have an exam soon, to hell with that shit.

>>631385
It is 1999.
It is the future.

Your game is "Shrek - Hassle at the Castle"! Now go play it

Whelp

>>631416
I have a real bad feeling about this.
