It's that time again
Welcome to the Retro Game Gauntlet, gentlemen.
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 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:
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
IRC channel: #gauntlet on irc.rizon.net (Mibbit link on site)
NEW RULES/GUIDELINES TO POSTING IN THE GAUNTLET THREADS:
-Do not post screenshots every other screen, make them few and meaningful

Well this game is tedious as fuck. I guess I wasn't ready for the gauntlet. Pic is of the map showing the areas I explored. Seems like a cool game exploring the map and the jungle ruins. It doesn't punish you very much for dying, you just start back at the area you died, but you die a LOT and the enemies fuck you up and prevent you from moving. Many of them take way to many hits to kill if you don't have a good weapon too. Overall a pretty neat game but I didn't have the patience for it.
I do like the website for generating a random game for you and I'll definitely try again another day. Good luck everyone.

Apparently, Spiderman can swing in a 360 motion. This game has some interesting ideas, but the execution is pretty meme.

Took me a while to get used to the game, but after you do it's pretty quick and easy.
Got to the final boss, not sure what to do yet though and was on my last life.
Patterns are predictable, bosses are reused, and some people can be cheesed easily, but I like it alright.
>>
Took me about 5 minutes to beat lol but it's surprisingly fun and strangely addicting. I always played around with the first level as a kid but that's it. Going back and actually "beating it" was a good time. I was able to go through it 7 times.
Gonna try another NES game later tonight

And that's that, the second I got back to the final boss I found a simple and abusable pattern to do him in.
It was a short but charming game, though flawed.
Time to move on up.

You need to dodge the taller walls, you won't get much far if you keep trying to jump over them.
