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.

Rolled and got DKJr. Does beating one cycle count as clearing it?
>>3123363
i'd say yes
>>3123315
Y NO LYNX U FUCKER?
>>3123363
Yep. You're good.
Here's mine. Never played it. Didn't even know it was released for NES.

>>3123516
Ok, shooting it was a bad idea. Don't do that.
>>3123519
Ok, so the aliens go down in like three shots, and you have a whole arsenal of guns including a flame thrower.
On a prison ship.
With one axe.

>>3123519
Okay, so after leaving for a bit and getting back on this happened just now.
Thought I cleared the stage, too. Right at an exit.
>>3123642
And then it made me watch them all die.
![Alien 3 (U) [!]_005.png](https://i.imgur.com/D72h6un.png "Alien 3 (U) [!]_005.png")
>>3123645
Cleared stage 1 with a single second left. It was the smaller half of that second, too. I had no idea what would happen, since I'd rescued the prisoners by then.
>>3123662
If it's the same as the Genesis version, you'd just get a Mission Failed screen.
I tried this a few years back but got stuck trying to emulate Turbo Duo
Wall Street Kid
Can you even beat that game?
Why NES? That thing is rotten garbage compared to the Master System.
Retroarch is open source. Someone smart should implement a gauntlet feature in there.
>>3123315
do people here actually do this crap?
>>3126713
Give it a try, could be fun
Got Xenophode. Never played it
>>3126552
I think you essentially win when you finish that will.
>>3126713
>on /vr/
>not playing retro games
>>3125947
I played Phoenix in its entirety. Got some dank screens of how stupid it was, but that was a long time ago.
Rolled Popeye's Lingo Game.
Fuck yeah, easy start.
>Dinosaurs for hire
Looks pretty rad.
>>3127890
There is a dinosaur with an automatic shotgun in the cover, what can go wrong?
>>3127897
Insta-death from fall damage in a platformer with vertically oriented levels. That's what went wrong.
>>3127872
I'm stuck guys.
>>3127903
It's okay it was bagel.
Fuck me this game is hard.
>>3127909
Popeye is an awesome cartoon and deserved a good video game, It's a shame he never got one.
>>3127913
The Popeye game for the SNES wasn't bad at all.
>>3127915
Well that's word puzzle A done. Now for word puzzle B.
>>3127925
How the fuck am I supposed to learn Japanese now?
>>3127929
I have no idea what is going on this picture, what are you supposed to do in this game?
>>3127929
Oh fuck, there it is. At the end.
>>3127935
Okay, now for Word Catcher.
>>3127939
What the fuck is Popeye doing on a boat?
>>3127901
Sounds like I've got a hard time ahead then.
>>3127941
Okay, so I have to translate one of the words on the left into English by collecting falling letters in order before dumbfuck on the right beats me to it.
>>3127950
I'm also very sure that this is supposed to be a two player section, as Bluto's just standing there like a retard.
>>3127951
Okay that was actually kind of tricky.
Next up is Adventures of Tintin: Prisoners of the Sun.
So, I read a lot of tintin awhile back. Oddly enough I got yet another classic comic series that deserves a great game.
Here's hoping.
>>3127946
This game isn't very fun tbqh.
At least I can say that I'm playing as a dinosaur riding up the Empire State Building while shooting dudes on jetpacks.
>>3127979
I did this with Phoenix and apparently people liked it.
Game starts out strong enough, with a small slideshow cutscene giving me some context.
Now all I have to do is google Dr. Midge. I hadn't read that far.
>>3128009
So this game is a 2.5d platformer where I have to avoid any and all pedestrians or die trying.
See that scientist who works at the museum I am legally welcome in? Bumping into him will kill me if I do it too much.
>>3128020
Also this child.
In this story Tintin has brittlebones.
>>3128023
So, this is the last thing I see before the game over screen. Turns out that clock in the corner is a time limit that I didn't even bother focusing on.
>>3127980
Got a Game Over at the Hoover Dam boss because I was too retarded to figure out you could climb down a ladder to avoid getting shot at.
Giving the game a shot again with 9 continues, if I don't clear it this time I'm just gonna jump back to a Game Gear game, because this game just isn't that good.
>>3128043
Okay, so now, after sprinting from section to section, discovering "sleeping" bodies, and somehow not running out of time or dying, I'm at level 2.
Seems this Tarragon guy done fucked up and unleashed a goddamned mummy curse.
>>3123496
hot girl on girl action, i like it
>>3128052
Got to the alleged toy factory, apparently this is level 4 of 5. Pretty confident I'll clear it this time because I've only used up one of my continues as of yet.
Apparently this game was made by the US division of Sega, sad to see that they would release such a mediocre title like this.
>>3128091
Japan fucking sucks
>>3128057
>"sleeping" bodies
>mummy curse
Sounds like standard Tintin fare
>>3128091
Time for PC-Engine. Let's hope Dragon's Curse will be more interesting than this was.
>>3128119
No, Swedish. Why do you ask?
>>3128209
>Let's hope Dragon's Curse will be more interesting than this was.
Wonder Boy games are always great.
>>3128209
You posted the pics upside down, next time don't buy shitty Ikea furniture to put your gaming system on.

Take a (You) on me.
>>3127727
Couldnt beat it, it sucks. Re-rolling
Cool! I'm glad that some folks still care about the gauntlet. Bump for endorsement. I would play in the gauntlet, but a little busy at the moment.
Recently got a Turbografx emulator to work on my Wii. What are some must have games for Turbografx?
>>3130561
Not really gauntlet related bro
Check the catalog for a Turbo thread or make one
Better yet, download a complete romset and start playing
>>3130574
I ctrl+f'd and saw only one match.
>>3127979
The games had very good music, especially the Game Boy versions.
