No offense, OP, but this is fucking gay. Bring back the /vr/ gauntlet

>>8728587
I got Warios Woods. Is this even worth playing?

Got Rally Bike at first but rolled again because that game doesn’t have an ending as far as I’m aware. Got Treasure Master instead. Time to win a cool million I guess

>370
>Mario Is Missing
Some eduware shit. Fuck.

>>8728614
AFAIK you have to win five races twice to get the ending.

>>8728587
>not including bootlegs
All of you need to play Big Nose Freaks Out right now.

>>8728631
Aight good cause treasure master is a piece of shit

The Mexican Runner's playthroughs had conditions for games that don't have an actual ending, like with Pac-Man it was something like "reach level 20" so those might be good guideposts for games like that.

And I just drew 316--Kid Kool which I know exactly nothing about.

>>8728676
Have you ever played Decap Attack? It’s a bad version of that

>510
>Bart vs the Space Mutants
I still can't figure out the goddamn controls on this thing.

you're allowed to skip World Class Track Meet if you roll that since you do not have the requisite items necessary to....

>>8728773
i imagine the most excruciating things to play would either be a sports game or a WRPG like Ultima or Hillsfar. God have mercy on whoever rolls those.

>>8728676
there was a Japanese "play all Famicom games" challenge. I wonder if they were allowed to skip Karaoke Maker?

If you played first party titles like SMB2 and Kirby you've been spoiled and don't realize how much of the NES library is a torture test with bad controls, bad level designs, and horrible difficulty.

so bomberman. i think you can cheese it with a powerup or something but i don't wanna play it now, probably tomorrow.

For the last fucking time, people aren't going to play or give a shit about a gauntlet until someone puts in the effort to trim crap out of the lists. No one else will put effort into this thing until the OP does for a change.

I rolled 34-Alfred Chicken. It's not as good as the SNES one but whatever. Could be worse.

Kek I'm having a good time with this game. I made it to the last boss.
When you press start, it throws you in-game immediately. If you die, you get Gold dragon (easy mode) and it skips a few levels. If you beat the level, you get Blue dragon (hard).
It's a good vertical shooter from Namco w/ some good music. I have Phelios for Mega Drive and it reminds me a lot of that.

Got 525 and it literally has a fucking spelling mistake.

>>8729159
It's a Dragon Ball game, but rebranded for localization cause they didn't have the license

Alpha Mission. I love vertical shooters.

>>8728587
Rolled 95 - Bram Stokers Dracula. No idea how I'll go, I only know it exists.

But James told me this game was AAAAASSSSS

>376: Mega Man 3

I've already beaten MM3 many times. Then again I've already beaten 115 NES/Famicom games, so I don't think this little game works for me

>>8729430

>>8729408
Oh gawd help me I cant even figure out how to get through the second platform

>>8729471
Now I cant even get the very first platform to break again. Unless this is a puzzle game or a bug I'm out.

Alright I got this shit. First boss is spoopy. Not doing it without an actual controller though. Will post credits screen if the thread lives.

I got Ghoul School, it looks awful

What would be the worst games to roll? I'm guessing somewhere between a WRPG and a flight sim. Maybe all that Gametek game show shovelware?

>>8729716
he had euro games too

>>8729778
Jack Nicklaus Golf would be up there. I can't imagine why anyone would willingly put themselves through that.

yeah yeah anything that's not Nintendo/Konami/Capcom is going to be greeted with groans of pain when you roll it. we know.

>>8729770

It's actually good, but it has some rough aspects (graphics, controls, level design) that might make you dislike it anyway.

>Dash Galaxy in the Alien Asylum

well that stinks

>>8729971
Get it modded so the expansion audio actually works.
You also need to invest in a good 72pin to 60pin adapter. The basic ones (that can't play games like Castlevania III) are flimsy but cheap but the good ones are expensive. It sucks to have to spend an extra $100

>>8730092
Some of the cheap ones can't use things like 4 screen mirroring (so no Gauntlet, etc).

>>8729770
>>8729809
Just beat it. It’s not bad but I wouldn’t say it’s good. The music and the sound effects are nice but combat is wonky and the movement is shite. The game desperately needs a map. It’s a pretty easy game overall, you keep all your shit when you die so the only punishment is having to go all the way back where you were.

I’m bored so I rolled again and got 368, Marble Madness.

>>8730095
Yeah, it's very unfortunate that good ones aren't really getting made as much. The retrofreak ones are supposed to be good and they used to be pretty cheap but now they're in the hundreds of dollars.
I'm still looking for a good one. Hell if I could find a retrofreak for $100 I'd probably buy it
The cheap one I got for around $25 is so flimsy that if my curtain brushes against my cartridge the NES will freeze.

>Incredible Crash Dummies

I would skip most sports games. There's a few that might be worth playing but there's no reason to play anything related to golf/tennis/pool/fishing.

>skipping games
That's ruining the entire point. You are supposed to roll, and if you something good, great. If you roll something bad, sucks for you, but them's the breaks. Deal with it

at least you're not being asked to play ZX Spectrum games

>>8735042
That's right. You are going to play X-Men and Muppets: Chaos at the Carnival and you are going to like it.

The absolute worst possible games you could get would be Ultima or Gametek game show shit.

Rolled this one. So far I can make it to the first vertical level but the first boss there took me out pretty quick. This game is a lot better than it looks like it would be. Usually I'm not a fan of UP = Jump but giving the shield it's own button gives this some much needed depth.

>122 - Championship Pool
Aw come on.

>>8742396
It's a game that could have been decent, even good, were it not for the fact that Orin's sword is short as fuck and gets outranged by almost every enemy. You can kind of get around this by baiting enemies into attacking, stepping back to avoid damage, then taking advantage of their cooldown period to get hits in, then repeating. And at least you don't get knocked the fuck back when hit like in Castlevania.

By the way, this game has a Mega Man-esque order in which to beat bosses, where after you beat a boss, you get a weapon that is only effective on a specific boss. IIRC you should start in Spain, but I forget what comes after that. Look up a FAQ if you need to for the proper order.

>236 Ghostbusters.
AAAAASSSSSSSSSS!

bump

>>8742929

You don't need to do the right order or even know that there is an order. It probably helps but as in Mega Man you can really just do whatever you want and as long as you have gitted gud and are willing to try different things to figure out bosses then you will be okay.

A Boy and His Blob

>247 Golgo 13: Top Secret Episode

>reach an arbitrary number of deaths (think it's about 50-something)

>>8745246
>https://tcrf.net/Golgo_13:_Top_Secret_Episode
Well then. Thanks anon, i might give it another go then.

Also, nice to know that the hotel scene at level 2 was indeed a sex scene that even has an unused full-blown undressing animation that's still hidden in the ROM's assets. Never thought i'd be seeing this kind of stuff in an NES game, lmao.

>Barbie
Scratch that, this is Hell.

>>8745374
Even in its censored western form the game is still weirdly adult. You’d think Nintendo would come down on them like a hammer to remove anything vaguely mature but there’s still bursts of blood when you shoot someone in the sniper stage, there’s still the outside view of the hotel implying Duke Togo is about to pound some vag, there’s still a weirdly complex politically driven plot featuring the KGB and East Germany. It’s all sorts of red flags but Nintendo turned the other cheek I guess. Kind of interesting how they had these extremely strict guidelines and they required you to submit a full playthrough so they could see any questionable content, yet a couple of games managed to slip in a (light) swear or even some outright gore like with Bionic Commando

>>8728587
You should do this next time but for a curated list of "good" games. Let's say only 100 games in total.

137 Commando
Probably should have played the arcade version but whatever. Supposedly influential for its genre and sold really well. The flickering is really bad and enemies will just disappear as well as their bullets and hit detection is wonky. The gameplay is pretty basic and easy so far, just move up and hit the guys in the way since they disappear once they go off screen. On level 2-4 and it seems like the levels just repeat with the same layout. I'll probably finish it since it seems really short and it's forgiving with the continues but it's really just making me wish I was playing Contra.

>>8745609
Commando was the first NES game that Capcom did in-house (as opposed to being outsourced to Micronics). They didn't really know what they were doing yet and the programming is incredibly shoddy and full of bugs.

95 Bram Stoker's Dracula. Wasn't aware of this title, wish me luck

>>8745609
Beat it. The last few stages were much more difficult with bullets flying everywhere and enemies constantly spawning. Sometimes I could run through easily and others it took me a couple tries. The hit detection is really off, sometimes I wouldn't get hit by bullets and others I feel like I would die to nothing. Also there are powerups but you need to go underground to find them and I only found an entrance 3 times. Overall it wasn't that bad but I wish it had actual levels other than just the same 4 levels repeating 4 times with more enemies and bullets per repeat.
>>8745615
Yeah it really shows. Constant flickering and enemies disappearing with their bullets and bad hit detection.

C64 Commando is god-level, it's the best home conversion of the game by a country mile.

>>8745760
>Constant flickering and enemies disappearing with their bullets and bad hit detection
Many graphics glitches too. It looks as if they ended up doing video memory/PPU access during the active screen render which causes garbage to appear on screen. Some NES codefag would have to disassemble the ROM and confirm though.

>Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom

>>8745760

That game is dope. Licensed Capcom Disney games were all great.

>>8745929
this was the first Famicom game to sell a million copies; it was practically a religion in Japan

>>8745374
>>8745498
I took a long break and finally beat level 7 after nearly 2 hours of suffering. Jesus christ thank god that was the last exploration section in the game.

To be quite fair it wasn't even that bad tho. Kinda grew on me, also i managed to find a copy of the game's manual online that contains the maps to the 3D mazes, had quite a bit of fun exploring and mapping the entire thing on MSpaint (pic related). Really felt like doing a mission.

Anyway i'm pretty tired. Gonna finish the rest of the game tomorrow. I'll post the credits screen along with a short review if the thread's still alive.

Can you actually do this on emulation or does it require the stupid robot dealy to play?

>>8746868
if the latter you couldn't play it on a real console either

>>8746868
ROB just pushed buttons on the second controller, so I'm pretty sure you could just map the Player 2 controls to your gamepad or whatever and do his bits yourself.

>Defender of the Crown

Had no idea that had an NES port. Will probably only make me want to play the original even more.

>>8746993
The Three Stooges also had a NES port, but C64 and Amiga had the best versions of Cinemaware games.

The Best of the Best: Championship Karate

Uh....

I rolled Times of Lore. Is it any good? I've never heard of it, but it apparently came out the year I was born.

is my rom/emulator bugged? I know how to win the race, and everytime Hudson actually starts climbing, I win the race. But sometimes he just shimmies in place never climbing and I lose

Sometimes I can never climb the pole no matter how many restarts I do or attempts with a different controller

304 - Journey to Silius. Never heard of it but it has an awesome soundtrack and gameplay is ok. I guess I got lucky.

>>8747761
I believe that’s included on Switch Online.

>>8746332
>MSpaint mapping

Excel is more efficient (faster) and looks better

>>8747358
It's not a bug, it depends on the amount of fruits you have. The more fruit you have, the faster you'll climb. No fruit and you won't climb at all.

In short, make sure you have 7 fruits when you enter these mini games (do not pick up the 8th fruit which gives you HP back but puts the fruit count back to 0)

>>8746993
I had it as a kid. It's really not a bad game, no idea how it compares with other versions. The game isn't too hard.

I think some NPC tells you but not before the after the first mini game.

>Star Force
This is gonna be too hard and I don't have a turbo controller.

>>8746332
And done.

Now this game isn't really what i would call a "good" one, but i enjoyed this ride surprisingly well. I like how it tries to incorporate various styles of gameplay in a single package (there's sidescrolling action, shoot'em up, first person shooter and first person maze exploration all spread throughout various levels. There's even a couple sniper shooting scenes which i liked a lot), this game really could have been a classic had it just executed all of its ideas a little better. Also, as >>8745498 says, it has a surprisingly good and mature plot for an NES game, which is arguably the best part of the title.

I got Toki and beat in surprisingly in about 45 minutes. I used a continue to keep going so my score is pretty low. The difficulty of the NES game as compared to the arcade game is astronomically easier - I would wholeheartedly recommend Toki on NES over the arcade version. If you beat levels without continuing, you can even extend your life bar from 2 to 3, maybe even 4. I didn't get that many, so I'm not sure. The arcade version just says "fuck you" and beats your head in every two seconds, but the NES version is pretty even tempoed and relaxed play.

>>8749391
Nice to know, I'll give it a try

>>8749352
Now, about the bad part, well...

The sidescrolling combat in this game sucks. Hard. There are two main forms of attacking in this game: kicking and shooting. Shooting sucks. You can't do it while jumping OR ducking (what kind of side-scrolling shooter doesn't let you shoot while ducking?) and the animation takes too long while also leaving you stationary and vulnerable in place for nearly a second. The most effective form of attacking in this game is the kicking, which happens when you press B in the air (or on the ground when without bullets), it's a fast attack that's very effective against almost anything, but guess what? It's broken. Every time you kick, there's a 50/50 chance of either you actually hitting your blow or the hitbox not working. I have gotten hit many, many many times because i tried to kick an enemy and the game thought i had actually just touched it normally in a way that would give me damage.

There are also cryptic parts where you're supposed to press up against some arbitrary part of the background and it'll take you to another place. Shit like a random building from the city or a gap between some trees. I seriously don't know how the fuck you were supposed to figure that shit out without using a strategy guide.

There are parts underwater where you're supposed to swim inbetween some mines, and i swear to god there are a LOT of these you literally cannot get through without taking damage.

Oh, and by the way, there are several sections that will take you right to the beginning of the last level in case you die. Until you get good enough at said parts to reliably be able to do them without dying, this shit is EXTREMELY frustrating and i almost ragequit from playing at thevery last level because of this tedious "feature".

Overall, i rank this game a 5/10. It's not terrible, i could have rolled way worse. But there's a good reason it made a brief AVGN appearance.

Tetris 2 does have a story and ending. Every 10 levels you clear, you get a cutscene that continues the "story". The final one is at level 80, with a "THE END" screen.

I beat it when I was a kid.

It's not really very hard or long, but it's also not especially fun. You can most effectively "play" it by listening to the soundtrack on YouTube or in an NSF player or whatever

The game is hard as balls (though it never feels that it's hard due to poor design or poor mechanics) and is actually quite long.

You can stop rolling in fear. The NES library kicks ass.

The Famicom probably has a higher ratio of shovelware though

>i got 51, Bad Dudes by Data East (who i believe made the nes Double Dragon port, so i'm excited)
Technos did DD, silly. And Bad Dudes wasn't an in-house port job anyway, Data East outsourced it to SAS Sakata and Namco published it (the Famicom version used a Namco mapper, changed to MMC3 for the Western release).
