You can do better than this /v/-tier thread, anon.

Don't think any retro game is too obscure for /vr/. If you want to talk about a certain game go ahead and make a thread for it.

>life has no continues

I know it's a joke, but hey, that's a good thing if we get to experience another life after we die in this one. Kinda like playing another game. I mean why not? No one can tell what there is beyond this reality after all...

Good luck finishing games like Quest of Ki without infinite continues

Touhou "awards" you with a single point if you continue.
It is the only way to get points less than 10

these are the worst. if you get far enough in, you can never quit. you have to keep bashing your head against that wall, or all your progress will be for shit and you will have to start all over.

Some of the Gradius games do this too. I think ti's meant to be a counter for how many continues were used since, like you said, it's not possible in Touhou or Gradius to get 99 points or less any other way.

It's a rule for tons of arrcade games, i don't know where it started but probably late 80s with Final Fight etc.

And yet it's probably the best Game over Screen of all time.

HOWEVER

dont remind me

[Anonymous No.3351074]

>you have to beat multiple levels without dying to get a single continue
>you don't even restart the level, you get warped back to where you got the continue
>if you use a continue on easy mode, you could end up fighting a boss that the game would normally skip

>bugs everywhere from floating enemies to NPC refusing to heal you just because

Thanks EA,you are lucky that i have to finish what i started because of mental illness otherwise this game would have been in the trash long time ago.

>3 tries per continue

Is there a more perfect system?

Good game and has a less punishing RNG than ADOM. Gets a bit repetitive though.

[Anonymous No.3353431]

>>3351437

if it makes logical sense in terms of the story being told and the game design makes death largely inevitable then who cares

also you can be killed by certain characters outright if you make certain choices, "immortality" isn't all it's cracked up to be in the D&D universe

When save files were introduced I think in a lot of cases extra lives just became pointless, and save for a few titles and arcade games I'm honestly surprised they still exist.

[Anonymous No.3353475]

It's practically a new save file.
