Remember me, faggots? Let's play some vidya.
1. Go here http://s3kr.it/gauntlet.html and roll a NES game
2. Complete it within 3 days without a guide or other outside aid (RPGs get a week)
3. Keep the thread informed with screenshots of your progress, within reason
4. Roll for the next console when finished and repeat until you can't bring yourself to gauntlet any more
RULES:
-No savestates
-Failure to complete the game within the allotted time sends you back a console
-Hints from your fellow /v/irgins are allowed
Check http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Main_Page for emulator recommendations and most importantlyhave fun
>got an arcade metal hero game
Neat.
I pwnd that game when I was younger, I was proud of myself too. The series went immediately into the shitter once PS got their hands on it, however the Slayer Edition PSPlus gave us a couple months ago is quite addictive. Just one girls opinion.
>>344678779
Oh shit it's you!
>Wizardry II Knight of Diamonds
Going to start tomorrow, gotta sleep for now.
>Your NES game is
>Tokkyuu Shirei Solbrain
this sounds pretty fun. updating when i win/something interesting happens.
I've heard great shit about this game.
>>344679515
Surprised it's on psn, didn't think I'd ever heard of Galivan before. Looks completely different to this from the screens.
>>344679826
Ouch, you'll be at that a while.
>>344680784
Time to bat shit up
>>344678779
I got Ikari Warriors II
Here's my progress

Game over #1
>>344682308
1st world down
Fuck, last time I did this I got Festers quest for nes, and then the addams family for snes. Then on my next try I got Festers quest again
>>344682732
Game over #2
>rolled Dragon's lair
>>344681932
Alright I quit.
I'm too casual, made it to level 2 with one hit left, died and there's no continue at all.
>>344683295
You're not alone
>only getting power drops when I'm at 1 HP for ages
>eventually die
B R A V O Galivan
>>344683140
No one said the gauntlet was easy anon, I only ever made it to the Mega Drive when it was here beforefucking Mega Turrican
Game over #3
>>344684092
FUCK. THIS. THING.
>>344684286
looks like a guy giving you two fingers
>>344684418
Yeah, i can see that
How fitting.
>>344684286
Game over #4
To the boss this time though, so i think it's justified.
>>344685026
>i have to start from the worst stage in the game so far
>Touch door
>die
>can't crouch in this spot for some reason
>can't jump back and have the time to crouch and hit the snake without dying
>this is the first screen
Three days to complete the game you said ?
>>344685505
>The game is not unbeatable, but requires the player to learn the timing of the game's enemies and obstacles through repetition. The game's poor controls, lack of checkpoints, and finite number of lives, however, make this nearly impossible and unplayable.
My condiments, anon.
>>344685505
Walk forward till the dragons pops up, go back to the very left, if the bat spawns just duck under it, and then pump the dragons face full of daggers.
>finally kill snake
>walk to door
>forgot about crumbling bridge part
>too late you died
WOOOOOOO
>>344685189
Game over #5
Delay was because i posted >>344686084
And FUCK THIS LEVEL
>>344686453
Forgot to add image
This is shit cause people reroll infa100%
>>344678779
I got a pinball game.
Do I reroll?
Got a game for hardcore players such as me
>>344686748
Fuck that level, atleast i made my way past it.
>>344687351
Well, that victory was short lived...
>>344686873
The asspain is part of the experience so it's their loss
>>344687145
Does it have a high score already there? I'd say beating that counts.
aww yes a gauntlet threa
i always loose

This game is way too hard bros, I don't think I can make it.
>Popeye's Lingo Game.
Very nice.
>>344678779
>Action 52
NO FUCKING WAY
I REFUSE
>literal unbeatable meme game
>>344678779
I missed you. Weren't you chased off of /v/? Or has this continued since then?
>Shi Kin Jou
>146 stages puzzle game
Yeah, no. Rerolling.

Yay.
One question though, the game has two modes, and each mode has six different word categories. What counts as beating the game, just beating the two main modes once or do I have to beat the six word categories on each?
>characters waves his arms behind him during jumping animation
>causes to expand the hitbox to the rear trap and then dies
>jumping to close to the hole causes him to hit the ceilling way too soon then forcing him to land before the hole and then die
imagine being 5 and receiving this game for christmas
>>344688619
Yeah, yes.
no savestates
no guides
3 days
play the game fagget
I've never heard of this game before, it better not be shit
>>344688526
Fair reroll if it's honestly unbeatable, even the gauntlet isn't that sadistic
>>344688573
It went to /vg/ and died. Looks like /vr/ took it in at some point but it's dead there too now
>>344688736
Both modes once would probably do but I'll leave it to your judgement.
>>344688938
HOLY FUCK WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DOING??
>Died twice in less than 3 minutes
>can't even damage the boss

>>344688938
That has to be the best name on the NES
>>344678779
Mega Man : Magical Girl Edition
I love MM and always wanted to beat this, now is the day
Food time, I'll be back later and start playing
>>344689682
AAAAH!
>>344689682
it's hard as balls, it seems you have two attacks:
A fan swing
A circular projectile
The fan does ABSOLUTELY nothing, and all enemies take multiple hits to kill, and there's no hitstun so they'll just dash through your hits shit all over you
The goal is to get a bunch of ying-yang symbols but don't know how to get them to spawn.
EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT I CAN AND CAN'T WALK ON IN THIS SCREEM
My first game is Power Blazer on NES.
Let's do this.
more snakes randomly spawning on the wall as our first boss, so much pain for this, at least I know the first two screens by heart now
>>344688938
Avgn reviewed ita decade ago holy shithow old are you?
![Popeye no Eigo Asobi (Japan) [En by KingMike v1.0] (~Popeye Lingo Game)_003.png](https://i.imgur.com/KXt2xaP.png "Popeye no Eigo Asobi (Japan) [En by KingMike v1.0] (~Popeye Lingo Game)_003.png")
Mode B beaten. It works basically like Game A, but they don't tell you the original Japanese word. Also, since it's a game for children even if you fail one of the puzzles they let you advance to the next, you can see here I failed 6 and 7.
I believe this is one of the first games to come out for the Famicom, even before Mario. It's ok for what it is.
I can't check on a guide. I got this and I kinda (maybe?) remember playing it back in the day. Does this have an ending or something? Or should I beat a particular score?
>>344690486
>2006
>following e-celebs

>>344690486
I've never really been a fan of youtube game reviews.
So I haven't seen it.
Twelve hundred knives and he still wont go down
>>344678779
Fire n Ice. Soundsfun
>>344690639
Looks like it just loops around with increased difficulty, beat the high score if there's one already there
>>344690453
Okay, this game is basically Mega Man, but you have a shitty short range boomerang instead. Enemies take forever to kill, I ran into an asshole with a boomerang and he had more range and took several hits, so unless you get upgrades for range you have to take damage, which is garbage.
Seems like it could be fun though.
>>344690375
LEVEL FOUR BABY
I wonder how many stages there are
>>344691046
ok so I died after throwing knives at this guy for 10minutes. I just noticed that despite being completely useless you have a lifebar that constantly depletes and doesn't refill between levels.
Fuck this shit life is too short to inflict aids on yourself like this
>>344691381
Dropped down a ladder and landed on top of an enemy who promptly killed me, this game sucks.
B-but I HATE BASEBALLLLL ;_;
>>344691801
Okay fuck Power Blazer, this thing spawn enemies which lock on to me and move towards me ABOVE me. I can't shoot upwards and the thing moves sideways at nearly the same speed as I do so it's gonna hit me.
Also the platforming is ridiculously tight, near pixel perfect jumps required at times.
>use the last of my energy getting past a corridor and into a locked room
>get an item that presumably opens up a teleporter in said room
>needs energy to use and none of the respawned enemies are dropping any
If I die and reset my exp before hitting level 4, I'm going to cry
>>344692225
Tank robot baseball vidya exists?
This looks interesting
>>344692671
>Tank robot baseball vidya exists?
Apparently. Also, how am I supposed to "complete" a sports game?
gg ez
EIGHT LEVELS
I think there are infinite continues.
I've only lost all of my lives once.
>>344692834
Does it have a tournament to win or anything similar?
God help me
>>344692671
>>344692225
I've never played the NES version but the SNES version was AMAZING
https://youtu.be/oFlKdzdnPVw?t=37
>>344693361
There's something called a "cyber league" but like literally everything in it is customizable like literally the number of games to the literal text of everything, even it being called a "cyber league" is customizable. This game is too muchhhhh
>>344693537
Playing this on the original console cause fuck emulators
>>344688081
Never played it on SNES but Micro Machines was GOAT on NES.
>>344690639
Just got here and lost. Game's pretty fun but I don't know what anything does except for the rainbow flag (floating for one jump). I'll assume nothing gives me more time and it's all just score.
>>344693624
God damn, I'm sucking at this game. Also homeruns can be seen from space.
>>344694101
Hold on, wasn't this the first game Kojima worked on?
>>344692770
I feel like the game is trying to give me a fucking seizure every time I kill a boss.
>>344694105
>tfw 3 spaceships for grand slam
>>344694415
I'll check the credits (although the levels repeat supposedly, so I doubt there'll be any credits).
It's always the same.

THE ADVENTURE BEGINS
I'll be using a translated romhack of the Japanese version since I want to understand the story and still have the animated cutscenes
>>344678779
oh ok
>>344694582
I just checked myself, his first game was the sequel of the one you're playing.
>>344694610
So this plays a lot like Mega Man, but you start with all your powers
Here I'm using the ball spell to bounce projectiles to that enemy
>>344694461
And now it fucked up somehow. Can't tell if this is something with the rom or emulator or what but holy hell is the music annoying.
alright
>>344694728
what the fuck? i cant go past this tree.
here we go
>>344694956
the broom is rushjet
Holy shit. When you tag a base and its too close to call, you have to fucking punch each other in the robot face to death!
I don't know what to expect.
This level was very short for some strange reason
>Japan's level is the longest in the game
Go figure.
Aaaaaand the game's looping. What do I do, anons?
>>344695962
Get to stage 30
>>344695962
If the levels are looping, I would just consider the game beaten as soon as they start looping.
>>344695610
Where in the UK is that supposed to be?
first boss
>>344695216
stage 1-2 done, but i lost 2 lives
I got Super C. If I use the Konami Code cause I remember it does that count?
game over :(
>>344696326
sure if you're a casul
>>344696037
Maybe.

I would, too, I just want to know what other anons think.

at least the box art is kinda gnarly

No way. It has a translation apparently.
And fuck the gay "a week if rpg" rule, that's bullshit.
>>344697252
What's wrong about it?
>>344696868
See if it has an english patch, that's what I've used for Galivan
>>344696894
Street Fighter 2010 is not a fighting game, it's a hard as fuck sidescroller.
Also Gilligan's Island is one of those "where the fuck do I go" type of games
>>344697308
It's for the gays.
>>344697404
Some rpgs are much longer than most of the platformers and sidescrollers
Never actually played Mega man before
So this should be fun
ok rerollan because fuck Dragon's lair
Got Genghis Khan this time, we wuz wolf and doe edition
Anyone ever played this?
>>344697689
Nice, Mega Man 3 is my personal favorite of the NES games, hope you enjoy it.
So many options
Who's the best to start on?
I actually got to level 20, woah.
>>344697689
It's not as hard as people have made you believe.

>>344699482
A good tough game, but you'll need to grind a bit
Got Kings of the Beach. Wasn't even in my +1000 roms folder.
Okay, the game I got is called Air Fortress for the NES. I just did a level of it, first part was a pretty standard sidescrolling shooter and the second part was a platforming segment where the little guy got off his spacebike and went into the fort to wreck shit up. Powerups I picked up during the shooter segment translated into jetpack fuel and missiles for the platformer segment. Pretty neat concept, not too hard yet but I'm getting the feeling this will get intense as fuck later on. These screenshots turned out a bit fucked up, but you can see the Mother Brain -looking motherfucker I killed at the end.
>>344699683
The answer is robots, and only magic can defeat them.
>>344699813
>>344699821
...and I'm dead. Oh boy.

Never heard of this game.
It's apparently Japan only.
>>344700834
BecauseLUAU.
But seriously, the SNES version has wonky hit detection.
>>344700034
Okay, in the second level of the game I ran into:
- Pink spikes on the floor that disable your jetpack when you're hovering above them
- These barber's poles form hell that move up and down and will crush you if you get caught
- Homing projectiles launched by turrets that you can't destroy so you just have to fucking book it
- An evil clone of my little player character dude that killed me in three shots
This is going to take a while.
>>344701046
This actually plays really well.
Can I read the instruction manual for the game?
>>344700806
Took me a while to realize you can simply crouch under this
>>344701458
If you can find it
>>344701606

Oh, I'm still on 1.43.
Now I have to start all over again.
Alright, I liked the cartoon well enough. Let's see what the game is like.
Robodemons, never heard of it. This will probably end in sadness but fuck it
>>344680784
I own the cartridge. Five year old me says good luck, you'll need it.
>>344703321
I wasn't expecting a platformer. I learned the hard way you can't jump on enemies. You have to use this shitty bite attack.
>>344697689
It's the best game of the original series.
>>344702956
I got to the final part of the stage through sheer luck
At this point I'm only speedrunning and surviving on lucky health drops, will probably die soon
>>344703483
Look at that smug little fuck.
>>344703734

A lot of western console games were poor ports of home computer games.

4 takes a huge dip in difficulty level, making it more accessible to casuals and ultimately not as fun. The mega buster charge shot is a nice addition, but 4 has its worst execution. 1, 7, and 8 are by far the worst.

great music

Alright, first boss. I also discovered that there's a bomb weapon which makes the game exponentially easier. Still not entirely sure what those icons on the bottom are.

Here's what I've got so far.
You play as a kid with a tiny dagger with no reach, but incredible stunlock ability. He can only stab forwards.
You can collect blue lockboxes. They are your health. You can gather a lot of them, but you have practically no invulnerability.
If you hold up, you can fly. This consumes (F), which is seen in the status bar and can be replenished by picking up (F) bags. Each bag sets it to exactly 250. Touching an enemy causes you to fall down.
You can't end a level without killing all of the pirates. The pirates are not really threatening and just pace back and forth. The swooping bats, man-sized drop spiders (!), and falling pine needles are your real enemies, and infinitely respawn.
I don't think this game has continues.
What the fuck, I had no idea this had an NES version.
An SNES couldn't even do it properly, let alone the NES. This is going to be ass.
