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
What is this bullshit kid niki, this isn't even a ninja.
>>344715431
Stage 2 auto-scrolls in different directions, pretty neat
Picked up Golgo 13 (the Secret Episode) and holy hell is it fun. Hard though, still trying to get past this bullet hell helicopter route.
The sniper games are really fun.
I don't even know what's fucking happening
This seems really funky
I'm a bit exhausted from Doropie but I'll give it a try right now
Wacky Racers fag here.
Stage B3 is sweets themed.
>>344715908
Golgo 13's a pretty cool and tough game, you'll enjoy it
Well, I got to the third stage, picked the left option, died and got a Game Over.
Now I gotta start all the way from the beginning.
I'll do it tomorrow. Should've thought before doing this late at night.
>>344716054
And now suddenly it's off-brand Sonic world.
This level is shit too. The part with the Tengu dancing down from the sky in the beginning part is bullet hell. At least you can finally use your jump ability for something.
>>344715908
Fuck this part though.
Holy Diver when
Now the game is a top down shooter, I have no idea where to go
rolled Galactic Crusader. pretty sure i'm fucked because i picked up LOZ1 and MM1 the other day as an intro to NES and god fucking damn i beat cutman and elecman and gave up on bombman because fuck these stages are all BULLSHIT
old games are FUCKING HARD
>>344716103
It's a lot of fun and I loved the movie.
>>344716181
>The female boss is the easiest
>>344716363'
Is this a satellite? It has these balls rotating around itself which kill you if you touch them.
>>344716339
Yeah man, but they're beatable, you can do it
![192bafa93e[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/isgbNnY.png "192bafa93e[1].png")
Let's do this
>>344716443
The ice physics are about as bad as you would expect.
>>344716452
Fucking made. I'll stop clogging up the thread now that part is done.
Onix is in this game and he's a fucking ballache to fight.
>>344716672
Good luck, it's a pretty long game
>>344713592
>Remember the basics of Close Quarters Dick Combat, snake"
>>344716339
beating bombman's stage and bossfight unarmed is literally easier than walking in the park
>>344715935
embrace it.
>>344716672
>>344716881
If you're going to grind in CV2, make sure you do it in dungeons, since time doesn't flow there.
![91e90b0157[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/v0TXd81.png "91e90b0157[1].png")
>>344716672
You don't need to buy the white crystal, the moving platform is still there, but invisible. I always just buy the holy water first.
So it's a bunch of games in one? Which do I have to complete? All of them?
>>344715935
>>344717161
no idea what the fuck this is. will give it a try.
did those anons who were playing Base War's and Platoon bugger off? Base War's was GOAT MP game for nes
These are my favorite threads on /vr/ and im glad to see it here. Found so many good games
Does the community go somewhere else when not on 4chan?
>>344717403
I'd reroll, action 52 is just a bunch of shovelware and unfinished games
Boss time. This nigga throws japanese words at you to attack.
>>344716320
Finally finished level 3, it was a huge pain in the ass, you're constantly moving and you need to dodge shit coming at you at all times
>>344717564
Yeah most of the games seemed pretty shit. I rerolled and am now playing Valis the Phantasm Soldier
>>344717470
Beats me, I think it just died down since no one was participating anymore
>>344715431
>nes
no thanks, i'll take a dos game instead
![4744aac01f[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/PSqYknu.png "4744aac01f[1].png")
>>344717362
Is this a dead end? Why would a hallway and a fake wall lead to nothing?
>>344718052
It's possible, the game is a mess
FUCK!
>>344718185
Enjoy your week friendo
>>344718254
Can I do the english prototype? or do I have to go full weeb and do it in jap language
>>344718321
Yeah there's no problem
Alright I got stuck on the water segment of Gemini man's stage so I decided to wait it out and try Hard man's stage. Everything's fine until I have to fight fucking Protoman who refuses to die no matter how much I hit him. How do I deal with this shit?
Is there any way to kill these flying monkeys? I can't even swing my sword and they kill me before I can explore
>>344717776
Boss of level 4 is done, the game isn't too hard when you're fully powered up
>>344718538
Shit forgot pic
>>344718510
You gotta duke it out till he flees, slide under him when he jumps
>>344718657
Ah
Thanks for the tip Anon
I hate invincible bosses
>>344716747
These fuckers ended up being a huge pain in the ass. Two more stages to go.
>>344718580
Burai Fighter has a wicked case, only thing I remember about it
also FUCK this game, how am I supposed to make this jump? I just found a pair of shoes but so far I can't do anything with them
>>344718784
And now onto Mexico
![0a8236f513[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/5JSZEHz.png "0a8236f513[1].png")
>>344718052
Yep, no boss battle. There are only 3 bosses in this game.
![98d471bf97[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/VyQP7pH.png "98d471bf97[1].png")
>>344719137
ok
What the fuck is this
>Lightning with no discenable trigger than makes it impossible to see for 30s
>Character does a backflip every time he jumps
>Projectiles go in the direction the character is facing
>Projectiles go fucking every which way when you jump
>>344718580
Oh fun, it's another auto-scroller that goes in random directions, but this time with tighter corridors, and a million bullets
>>344719005
>not pictured: the boulder that flattened me
>>344719343
EZPZ
Took care of hard man
He was surprisingly easy
Now who's he good for?
>>344719295
Sounds like a load of fun
Was hoping for some weeb shit.
Wish me luck anons.
>>344719539
Take a guess, there's no real wrong path here
>>344719676
Alright then
I'll go with top man 'cause he seems fun
>>344719627
I don't even know what game it is, never heard about it
>>344719804
he's super easy
>>344719531
These skunks run backwards and shoot projectiles out of their ass. It's really goofy looking.
Oh I found it
You have to hold UP while moving to run
who the fuck does that? also level 2 i guess
>>344719306
What is even this boss
>>344719884
that's good for me then
>Bee 52
Never heard of this shit, but I'll try it.
Help. I just keep going into the same shitty buildings and roads over and over
what am i in for lads
>>344719928
BROTHERRRRR
>>344719827
some kind of side scroller.
If I understood correctly, I'm a little soldier tasked with killing a tirant.
I mean, all happily and being a elfy little alien.
music is neat.
Hard as balls.

It's a gauntlet to have you play older games you've never tried before
>>344720470
C'mon anon, it's not that bad
>>344720303
pic related.
Intro text.
>licensed game
oh boy here we go
>>344715431
Last time I did this I got Robin Hood, which was a bit shit honestly.
This time it's Wizards and Warriors. Old Rare game, huh? Should be good. Don't think this one was in their absolutely abysmal Xbone collection.
>>344720678
It's actually a pretty fun platformer with tons of secrets
>>344720678
this palette holy shit
also that crouching animation
>>344720253
ANYONE?
>>344720253
Never heard about it
Oh wow. It's been some time since I last seen a Gauntlet thread.
I think the most memorable games I played from these was Abadox and Galaxy Force 2(Nice OST by the way)
>>344720816
wait why am I the black guy now
>>344720779
yeah, this seems pretty good so far
>>344716000
What a game
Music and graphics are amazing
>>344720025
Not an awful game so far. Colorful and cute graphics. Finally figured out you actually have to get honey from the flowers and take it back to your hive, not just move straight through the level.
![6be91a6875[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/yJn7RXm.png "6be91a6875[1].png")
YEAH BOY
BEST MEGA MAN NEXT TO 3 LET'S DO THIS SHIT
>>344719907
Im winner
>>344720952
have a webm
we VVVVVV now
I'm done posting for now, see you later
I hope it won't get too bullshit hard
>>344715431
What the fuck is this game
the vile boss fell to my secret ultimate attackstanding in place and spamming kick
>>344721156
Congrats!
>>344721156
*snickering intensifies*
Pretty easy little platformer. Pretty generic, and I was expecting some sort of racing title considering what it was based on.
Onto the SNES. My favorite console.
>>344721341
Ooh, never played this.
It's an on-rails shooter, right?
>>344719928
Say goodnight spikey
>>344720253
I know it's got an anime, but that's about it.
>>344720401
This boss is slow and boring, but didn't even die once on the stage.
>>344721463
Right. Heard it was okay though.
Damn this is hard as shit. Been playing for almost 30 minutes and absolutely no progress
![7092b25bf5[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/TZg848i.png "7092b25bf5[1].png")
>>344721018
I dont know if I can do it guys
>>344721463
Yeah, you had to use the superscope
>>344721612
Fucking forgot pic
this part of the game was so METAL that i forgot to jump and fell in the spikes with him
![bc1e192253[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/6D78NuM.png "bc1e192253[1].png")
>>344721613
worst stage up next
>>344721571
Final level, I hope.
>>344721463
Have to use ZSnes because Snes9x doesn't have superscope emulation.
>>344721527
Another top-down auto-scroller in a different color. How many levels are there?
![b74d7b8d29[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/kUeFFNv.png "b74d7b8d29[1].png")
>>344721876
fuck this part
I honestly don't know if I'm fucked or not but screw it KOEI hasn't let me down before*
Finished off top man with relative ease
Almost lost though because of that nigger's delayed spin
>>344721207
Basically you just have to walk around a house and clear it of enemies, on level 2 now.
I hope to god this game isn't like 100 levels, because it's monotonous as hell
>>344722305
shadow man is weak to top spin
Notbad so far
>>344721927
I guess this is the end boss. What a boring final level.
I still say it's a bad game, would have been improved with the ability to start from the level you died on instead of going all the way back. The Monk level was a bit fun actually since you can actually use the jump to dodge stuff since they move so quickly.
The Mad Monk boss fight was good too.
>>344721962
How horrifying.
![7d49ba9d22[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/TDeeZAP.png "7d49ba9d22[1].png")
>>344722193
Trick: Shoot Bright Man once with the normal buster, then use the Rain Flush
He will never use the Flash Stopper
>>344722380
Guess i'll head there next
>>344722495
Good job!
>>344722502
>When you're 15 minutes into Yoshi's Safari and chill and she gives you this look
>it's a protoman fight episode
wow
that was surprisingly easy for a nes game
what enemies there were you could just run through till the next level
the hardest part was literally figuring out you could run at the first hard jump
short levels, 4 lives and 4 continues, etc
meme game desu
>>344722373
Level 3, doing great so far
Last level had a shitty elevator system that just cycled through the different floors.
>>344722862
Congrats, movie based games are usually crap though
![e897fe8232[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/wrIjsZN.png "e897fe8232[1].png")
>>344722574
WE WUZ ROBOTS next
>>344722805
get good
>>344722495
>>344722628
Wasn't done yet. Fucker killed me once with his unpredictable fire breath, didn't realize he was going to do that.
He fell into the same issue many of the bosses do though: You can stunlock them. The game seems to realize this, as it makes your sword fly out of your hand and to the corner of the screen where you need to get it back after each attack. If you're quick though you can still get each attack in before they start their next.
With Mad Monk for instance if you don't attack him on the platform, but stand on it and attack him when he jumps instead he'll only use his easily dodged (except the first time) earthquake attack. Mad Monk and Green Grub were the highlights of the game.
>>344720678
MC Kids is awesome. the soundtrack is really top notch
>>344722942
it WAS crap, though easy crap
that part where you kick the boss into spikes and ride his body down the mountain was METAL/10 tho
so rolled and apparently got a fightan game, if there isn't a 1P mode i'll re roll
>>344722007
Knowing that the ring weapon goes through walls helps a ton
>>344723054
Alright, rescued the princess so I guess we're done here.
>>344722883
You can't move while on these platforms, so when flying bugs try to get you its fucking irritating.
Level 3 is adding a bunch of gimmicks like ice physics that just make things annoying.
23 Bugs left in this level.
>>344723152
Oh wait what is this, another one?
this shit is hard as fuck
>>344723297
Welp. My suffering is not over yet.
>>344723231
It looks like such a bad game
>>344723423
It kind of is, it's not the worst I've played though.
Got my first death from toxic water, the game doesn't restart your bug kill count which is nice.
>>344720967
Beat a boss, and it's still always the same two tilesets and music alternating. Anyone knows if it gets different at some point?
The game is neat, but is getting somewhat boring, also I'm having doubts about the level design
it had one special timed ufo ride stage, and it was horrible
>>344723419
Oh fuck what are you doing here, this isn't even a boss room.
>>344723416
OH SHIT, YOU GOT DINO RIKI?! 4 levels, I believe, good luck, man.
>>344723614
god it's so difficult even on the first level
i can fuckin do this; will update with progress
>>344723520
pretty sure there's new tilesets but i dont recall for sure
also how the fuck does BALLZ 3D run like complete ass
its 2016
>>344723536
This is one of the fight the boss over and over levels isn't it.
>>344723817
No fair teaming up with yourself you chink bastard.
>>344723803
It always ran likeballz
>>344723902
And now teams up with the Ninja's ancient flow: Tiny floating tires.
The only thing tired here is me putting up with your shit, Stone Wizard.
These tires areExhausting
>>344723148
At this point, the game designers ran out of ideas
>>344722696
Ludwig's about to wreck my shit.
![fd09ad9361[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/NWKKzrm.png "fd09ad9361[1].png")
>>344723028
I took a break
Got the balloon
>>344723993
Just a lurker here, but you made me laugh out loud. Thank you.
>>344723993
fuck it, already tried two emulators and it didn't work
rerolled OBITUS
>>344724101
Or not
>>344724062
Alright, there was actually one more fight with him after this but I didn't take a screenshot. Looks like it is really ending now.
>>344724219
Oh god, you're gonna regret that
>>344724259
More games need to end with you Teabagging the final boss's corpse.
>>344724239
Just gotta shoot him in the dick a few times
>>344724259
Congratulations
>>344724451
Congrats!
the boomerang is insane, i cant go farther without it
is this the first bullethell game? sure feels like it
>>344716753
>stuck on Onix for at least an hour, needing to grind armour and energy back up every time I die
>decide fuck it and actually just grind to the next level for the max hp bonus
>don't actually fall into this hp when I reattempt and win the boss fight
JUST
>>344724542
The game is really tough, I could never get past the second level
Oh, boy. Its one of those games that you need the manual to progress a pass a certain spot game.
![4e9f341847[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/aGu9baC.png "4e9f341847[1].png")
>>344724175
just stopped him and button mashed
next is ring man
>>344724467
Here comes 'Straya
>>344724664
I heard it was a classic on the NES, never actually played it though
>>344723520
Second boss is kicking my butt, and the last password is three stages behind
One last try before I give upfor tonight
>>344718626
What game?
>>344724754
You can do it!
>>344724467
>>344724538
Thanks.
It wasn't a very good game, I don't recommend it. Reminds me a bit of the worst parts of Castlevania 1.
Mad Monk part was fun with the crazy spinning tengu though.
oh crap it's an RPG
![b5f4219030[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/YmadHE3.png "b5f4219030[1].png")
>>344724730
nothing Ring about this stage
>>344724271
well i did get an really easy nes one so it evens out
.... reading the manual is still kosher, right?
>>344724734
Oh fug, here's Wendy.

>>344724925
yeah, should be
>>344724850
Nevermind, it's Valis Phantasm Soldier.
>>344723518
Holy fuck Level 3 was awful.
Hopefully level 4 is better, I lost a life because the shitty platforming last time kept making me land in the dripping water.
>>344725204
>the only manuals online are for sale
>for 75 fucking dollars
ill fiddle with it tomorrow im running out of cigarettes
>>344725346
I feel for you m8, like like shit.
>>344725147
>It's a beach episode
Don't even know what this is but it already sounds cool
>>344724084
By far the hardest boss in the game, barely any space to move and dodge his homing projectiles, and it had a very wonky hitbox, which was "somewhere" in his mouth.
>>344724920
yeah i remember thinking the same thing, like "did someone at capcom think the english word for "rainbow" was actually "ring"?
>>344724749
I've played it before for a bit.Its pretty fun and different thematically. I just remember seeing a video about it that mention what >>344724963 said and a couple other obtuse stuff.
>>344725096
Thanks.
>>344725518
It's alright. Didn't play much of it though.
Decent early NES game.
>>344725563
WHAT?!
This still counts as a completion right? I just got hustled out of an ending here
>>344725714
i always found it weird how the SJWs didn't rally behind this game. i mean why pretend samus is trans when there's a series where the protagonist actually gets a sex change?
>>344725493
Larry, what are you even doing?

>>344725985
that was close
>>344725441
and suddenly, we're in a helicopter for no reason at all.
I'm on my last life because there's a certain enemy that is programmed to run away after the first hit, so it'll just glitch into walls where you can't hit it.
/v/ is actually playing videogames?
>>344726279
I'm actually scared of rolling a game, anon.
>>344725892
Bombs? it's yours, my friend!
FUCKING PLATFORMING????

>>344726159
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e0NLxQJ55Y
finally took care of Shadow man's stage
I think i'm gonna take a break for the night since my hands hurt like a bitch and i'm starting to make some glaring platforming mistakes.
>>344726352
Don't be afraid, it'll be alright
We got our first game over, I will shit a house if I have to replay this whole thing again.
>>344725518
>>344725737
It's pretty nice so far. I chose solo mode, so I hope that's the actual way to progress through the game
>>344726424
So far I've had a really good time despite the difficulty adjusting. I can see why people like these games
>>344726496
Whoops, forgot the image
>>344725809
Onto another game, rolled this
How do fighting games work in a gauntlet, just finish the arcade mode?
>>344726368
This soundtrack is really comfy.

>>344724754
>>344724853
I DID IT ON MY LAST BULLET
But still no new password D:
Let's hope I don't fuck it all up on this stage
You niggers better have a thread up tomorrow as well
this is some fun shit
>>344726531
next go for either spark man or magnet man
spark man's weapon is useless
>>344726531
The level design and music are pretty great in megaman games
>>344726657
yeah i'm enjoying reading it
>>344726590
Yep just prgress through the 'story' or 'arcade' modes and you're sweet, should take you all of 20 minutes.
>>344726691
Noted
I'll take care of that tomorrow
>>344726604
Nevermind it was all a ruse, this stage is only a cutscene
This ride is pimpin
>>344726590
I'll let you guys choose my character, first character to two votes gets picked
>>344726898
Reptile
>>344726858
And hey, World 2! A change of scenery!
I'm done for today, see you next thread
>>344726584
Well fuck, turns out fighting course is the way to get through it. At least I think it is. Let's do this
>>344725871
that's a good joke
SJWs knowing anything about video games
hahahaha
>>344726898
JAX
>>344726604
Lemmy's down. One more stage on the map.
someone should stream their gauntlet desu
>>344726462
We didn't have to replay everything, thank god.
The game has now resorted to recoloring the fucking sewer level and spawns you directly underneath a deadly water drop.

Its really have been too long since I gave this game a whirl. Its a bit tough to get used to the stiff controls and the weird automatic jumping.Feels like there is a slight delay to the input. Just right when I got abit used to the way the game works this bullshit happen! I also vaguely remember for fall that same trap when I last played too!

Okay, so turns out I gotta choose paths A or B in order to progress to the end. I assume if I beat all courses along A and B, that means I "win", considering this game doesn't actually have an ending

and I thought the game was being really stingy on health pickups

>>344727189
Well that wasn't as bad as the sewer level because it was all on one screen, but now we're underwater for no reason.

Not even Goro is safe
I remember catching this show from time to time when I was a kid.
Is the game any good?
