G-type | 2,479 Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Had been a while since I’d played Legacy of the Wizard. Rockgaea was a pushover this time but arcwinger gave me some trouble. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaryice | 585 Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 I've been working on Gauntlet, trying to beat it with the warrior. Made it to the last password spot (level 79) with all the upgrade potions and max keys/bombs. Of course, that's only half the battle, since you have to do the rest of the game in one go and it's very hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaia Gensouki | 1,072 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Earthbound Beginnings aka Mother is done. Like I said earlier, the story is really interesting with lots of quirky ideas and the music is pretty great as well. But the gameplay, or rather the combat, really dragged the whole experience down for me. At times it was a real slog to get through which is why it took me so long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdynebraskan | 354 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Superman is done. And with this completion, I believe I have eclipsed 600 points for the sixth consecutive year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a super fun game. I'm really enjoying it. But if I make it all the way to the final boss and game over that's really going to suck. Hope I can beat him the first time.

Got to the final boss luckily, and then died on him. Fuckin' game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaia Gensouki | 1,072 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) Airwolf is done. I got nervous about losing my lead so I knocked out this 10-pointer that I can beat somewhat reliably. I did it on my second try and on my last life. Also, I've been wondering what happened to the Wizard. He was on his way beating Dungeon Magic and he wanted to beat Metal Mech and Mission: Impossible, iirc. I've been holding out on these games and was wondering if I could maybe go at them or if I should wait some more time.

scaryice | 585 Posted March 4, 2023 Author Share Posted March 4, 2023 Gauntlet done. Was having a lot of trouble with the warrior challenge, so I just did an elf run for now. That's a lot easier to deal with, although it still took several tries of the last world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came really close today. Reached level 10 with all of my continues and made it to near the end. Some of those jumps are evil because you're also constantly fighting against slipping off the ice. It's ice physics taken to an absurd degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaia Gensouki | 1,072 Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 I've been working on Bram Stoker's Dracula. At first it didn't seem so bad for a 9-pointer, just very janky. Then I realized that you need to play the game on hard mode to actually play all of the levels, because after level 4 it basically taunts you that you have to play it on hard mode. I ended up getting a game over in level 6. Some of these get really mean and difficult, especially since this game relies on a lot of "cheap" difficulty, like having enemies appear right in front of you and out of nowhere! So if you don't know what to look out for it's borderline impossible to avoid a hit. On you're jumping on another platform and immediately some enemy appears out of the background. It's so cheap! Anyway, maybe I can still beat it this weekend. I only need to rack up enough lives and continues in the early part of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played this for a NES contest on AtariAge and had the exact same frustrations. Enemies suddenly appearing right in front of you. I remember the timer being really annoying as well.

So you've gotta jump hard up/left without going over the edge and not slide down to the right either; So Mean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
