Welcome to the Retro Game Gauntlet, gentlemen: http://s3kr.it/gauntlet.html
Start at NES, and work through in the following order:
NES
SNES
GB/GBC
Megadrive/Genesis
Turbografx16
DOS
NeoGeo
GBA
Commodore 64
Playstation 1
You have three days (or as many days as you like--it's all cool) 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/
Rules (follow if you want, or not--no biggy):
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)
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)
AND BRING ME SCREENSHOTS PARKER
NEW RULES/GUIDELINES TO POSTING IN THE GAUNTLET THREADS:
-Do not post screenshots every other screen, make them few and meaningful
-Do not start a new thread before current one bump limit is exceeded
Oh shit this is finally back?

these die a lot with few responses since all the posters are too busy playing games.
Ultima Series thread
What's your favorite Ultima games?
I feel that Ultima V:Warriors of Destiny has the best story but Ultima VII + VII Part 2 have the best gameplay.
I got the gog pack with every Ultima so I'm doing a replay of the series from the beginning.
The only ones I've really played any significant amount are the NES port of III and Underworld. Love them both.
>>2805562
My first UIltima was 7 so it was hard for me to get into previous ones and the later ones sucked. I wish it was remade with better interface (namely inventory) and combat but it's still very good, I'm still amazed at the amount of detail it has and how npc's behave
>>2805616
I've never played any of the spinoffs but I heard the GameBoy ones were good.
>>2805649
The first three and 6 have some pretty bad interfaces which is going to prolong my playthrough, but 4, 5, 7, and 7pt2 were well and good. I'm dreading getting to 8 and 9, considering I've never finished them the first time around.
Final Fantasy IX Thread.
This was the first Final Fantasy game I played as a child. My mother bought it for me randomly. Upon playing it for a few minutes; I was heavily immersed. You seem to meet each character at the perfect times to grow accustomed to them. Zidane; a thief. Steiner; a blindly loyal soldier. Vivi; a child, and so on. I feel no bond to any other characters as I do this set. The rate in which they grow in front of your very eyes is astounding for an early game.
The music in this game sits apart from the other games to me. The simple acoustic theme of Dali captivates me. I find myself yearning to listen to it. Esto Gaza is my personal favorite.
The game has a fair amount of secret content. I thoroughly enjoy the Chocobo Hot and Cold mini games, as well as finding the Chocographs across the continents. I take enough of a break each time in between playing that it still remains a challenge to find them all.
While all games have their flaws, IX certainly has some to. The trance system is horrid. Some plot lines seem to fade away. For example, what becomes of Freya and Fratley. Or of Amarant.
Nonetheless, It is my favorite game of all I have played. I wanted to ask you guys what your favorite moments, adventures, characters, experiences, or even dislikes were. Cheers.
>>2776028
This game is entertainment, not art. Fight me, /vr/
my least favorite of the first 10 games. no interesting characters or plot lines. i can barely remember anything about the story actually. i thought the graphics and design were a step down from VIII. the gameplay itself was fine and i liked the music, especially the overworld theme.
ITT: things we learned much later about games we thought we knew everything about
This secret scene in Horizon in Final Fantasy VIII.
Well, there are a lot of hidden story and gameplay stuff in FF8, but that one I only discovered on my 10th of so playthrough.
There is also a couple of hidden pistol ammo I found out much later on in Resident Evil 2, like for the instance the one hidden behind the middle statue in the room where you have to push 2 statues around to get one of the red gem.
Also few people know but the PC version of Resident Evil 1 has an extra hidden pistol clip. It's located at the back of the Tyrant fight room in the lab, you can't physically see it either but it's there if you press the action button near the shadowed angle (same place where the 2nd Tyrant is in the Saturn version). Probably a hint by the devs on how the Tyrant in the lab can actually be killed with less than 15 Beretta buleltsyep, you saved all that magnum ammo for nothing all these times
>3DS version
Tails' secret areas, mainly in Sonic and Knuckles. There's an entire upper level in Sandopolis 1 that I found out 2 years ago. Too bad that, angel Island, and marble garden are the oonly levels with tails only routes

I'm gonna start a thread where we help each other find games we encountered way back when but can't remember their name because I'm bored.
1. Post a description of the game to the best of your memory. MS Paint picture welcome.
2. Help other anons find their game.
3. Recommend other games to anons while you wait.
The game I've been trying to find is from around the mid 90's I think and has a large purple alien on the cover art.
The opening cinematic is the player getting inside some type of capsule/pod that's sitting in the middle of a science lab (tesla coils and blinking lights kind of look). You either time travel or get transported to another planet; the first level is a type of jungle with a village.
There are tons of spike fruits laying around everywhere and it the game controls like Diable/Fallout, etc; with a grid inventory on the main screen.
Two games I can't remember:
First one is a game where you have to survive in an alien world, and all the aliens speak a language that you can't understand. Someone suggested Captain Blood in previous threads but I faintly remember you owning a car with wheels in the game, rather than a spaceship. Also you had to buy parts from the aliens for your car.
Second one is a top-down action/horror game, can't seriously remember whether it had horror or not. The setting was an arctic village/base, maybe in Alaska or Antarctica? Gameplay was basically comparable to Hotline Miami, kind of.
Looking for a DOS(?) Action Platformer. You play as a walking reptile and blow shit up with weapons. Enemies would burst into meat, blood and bones if killed.
There's this "so many great untranslated retro games, sigh" idea being thrown around so often, but what are they?
I mean, not some niche games aimed at a small group of fans but actually great games that would have been generally considered such had they been translated?
>>2822252
is that black/matrix ? damn i gotta start this one.
>>2822276
No it's been fan-translated b8.
>tfw learned both sets of kana, and learned to search on jisho.org
That's literally enough to make most of those games playable, you might miss some of the story but fuck it, I'm in it for the gameplay.
Your favorite Street Figher version and system?
For me it's plain Street Fighter II - The World Warrior on SNES.
I don't see any reason to play the home versions of these games anymore other than nostalgia
I like Alpha 3 and Third Strike, emulated arcade
>>2821619
I suppose the one I've played the most is Alpha 2 but you can't go wrong with Super Turbo
For me it's Street Fighter Alpha 3 on the PS1. Man I wish they'd release an online version on the PSN or something.

Cyberblock Metal Orange

Clearly the DX-Ball series, awesome levels, powerups, editor, etc.. and other stuff really worth it.
>>2820524
>Cyberblock Metal Orange
Amazing soundtrack, saved.
>Invisible + X-Zone kills everything in one hit 100% guaranteed, even bosses
Why was this allowed?
>>2820353
I'll take Glitches And Programming Oversights for 500, Alex.
>>2820353
Evade is literally a worthless stat. All evade calculations use Magic Evade.
>Why was this allowed?
A better question is:
Which game is more glitch-heavy between G1 Pokemon and FFVI?
I think they're both high contenders for the coding mistake crown.
What's the point of this? They do nothing but make the screen look darker.
filters blends dithered pixels
scanlines sharpens them back and yeah they do make shit darker
>>2820071
>What's the point of this? They do nothing but make the screen look darker.
That's because you just turned the screen 50% black
Half of the retards: Why are retro games colors so oversaturated?
The other half: What's the point of scanlines?
