Does /vr/ gauntlet anymore?

Start at NES, and work through in the following order:

NES
SNES
GB/GBC OR Sega Game Gear
Megadrive/Genesis
Turbografx16
DOS
NeoGeo
GBA AND/OR Sega Master System
Commodore 64 AND/OR Commodore Amiga
Playstation 1 AND/OR Nintendo 64
MAME AND/OR Dreamcast
You have three days to complete the game without assistance (each game gets three days, though RPGs are allowed a week due to length). Select your system here:

http://s3kr.it/gauntlet.html

You can also do it manually if you don't trust the random number generator:

http://s3kr.it/systems/

AND BRING ME SCREENSHOTS PARKER

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)
Or just fucking reroll you cheating faggot. You know you will

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 from 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]

Oh, and try not to post screenshots every other screen; make them few and meaningful.

Let's do this shit.
