Uh, well this is interesting, I can pick my own level

You can walk inside of it without taking damage!
If you hop a bit, you can hit it with the ring boomerang safely.
bait

These threads are fun, thanks anons. You're alright. Makes a nice change from ecelebs.

Alright, let's get this shit started.

Oh boy. This oughtta be an adventure.

Easy as fuck

Black and white with cellophane. Why did they even do this? What is the point?

And we got our Morph-Ball.

I only played Zero Mission, so I think I got this in the bag.

Good luck user. Get the long range gun ASAP.

Cool, beat an underwater dragon and obtained wet suits.

good luck with beating level 01 the easiest of the whole.

Blue spaceship uses it's long dong against the other army at 2:15 am

This is kind of a shot in the dark, but do you know how to beat the second boss? The little green things he shoots do shitloads of damage, but if I try to jump over them I end up entangled in his tentacles and take damage anyway. Also, the boss just creeps forward until he takes up the entire area, which obviously kills me since I have nowhere safe to go.

DOOR has been vanquished

Playing ZM doesn't really prepare you for the original. It's a whole different beast.

i only ever hear about super metroid. what's metroid like?

Yeah, no shit.

Y CAN'T METROID DUCK?!

I got a game for children yesterday so I completed it in like 10 minutes, so it's time to roll for the SNES.

Not too keen on shooters but I'll give it a try, I'll start playing after I have dinner

A battle for the ages, our ancestors have long awaited this battle for eons. Who will win, the tank or the whale.

Damn. Only 84 credits left. Btw, for some reason you get to add credits with L or R when you start up the game. It's like wasting money, but not really.

Stupid squid.

3 trys left.

It's Giovanni! Careful with the cherry cola.

I noticed that this climb could go on for ages. Where's the door?!

Did this thread idea come from /vr/?

It was the tank Now to actually play the game

It's hard to describe exactly, you can tell if you've played them both. In Super you start out feeling average strength and gradually get more powerful as you move on. The combat is more fluid. In the original you feel weak and stranded, you're just trying to survive and get by for the first half of the game. By the end of the original you feel about as powerful as the start of Super. It has a weird balance between running from enemies being viable to needing to grind enemies to get your missiles etc back. Even with high health you can die in seconds if you're not as careful. It's way more atmospheric and the upgrades are more things like being able to shoot at a reasonable range.

Get some graph paper, user, you're gonna need to draw a map

Rolled Fatal Fury Special for SNES
What would account for completion in a fighting game

World 3 of Cool World and I haven't died once. I'm going to make it.

Why do I have a faint memory of this game being hard as all fuck?

Anyway here we fucking go

This is normal, right?

Here we go
Man you need to start with Chill Penguin

All right, level 3.
it's such an annoying game: the enemies are really small and is never clear when they hit you or you hit them.
It's a guess who game, enemies spawns way too fast
It's amazing how they fucked up on such a basic game.
Now i'm also with bigger cheetah, so it's getting worse

Beating the arcade mode or the story mode.

Why? Is the map that extensive?

As soon as I went in the room, the music suddenly changed. Is this a boss?

Help me, Sup Forums. I'm scared.

Fuck. I need missiles.

Fuck off back to /vg/

It's only going to get more spoopy

I'm a Werewolf with blades for arms. Yep this is an nes game.

(dead)

That was a close one. It was my last guy.

Man i don't have a clue since it's my first time playing any X-game.

It did workout fine.

Goddammit. Where are the missiles?!

What did I miss?

>actually getting mad at people playing video games
you are the cancer killing Sup Forums

Those disappearing block puzzles were tedious as fuck

Shouldn't be too bad as long as Ring Man and Dive Man don't fuck me up

This le master troll who keeps shitposting on these threads.

>people playing video games on Sup Forums
>tell them to leave
What? Are you retarded?

>Spamming the same thread back to back
>Calling others cancer

Aw yeah.

Took me a few tries but I managed to beat the invaders. Let's move on to game boy. What am I in for?

Alright time for the boss fight

This goes to Norfair, right?

Better go back.

Do you know what spam is? On topic threads that do not break the rules are not spam.

Don't be a pussy user!

World 4 introduces enemies that have projectiles. I think I'm done with this shit.

Some frantic antics, that's for sure

DISCO TIME!

in the first shaft you get to, drop down, you'll find missiles through the door at the bottom. Good luck, Metroid is one of the best games on the NES.

You beat squid first? Nothing can stop you now user

that was easy

This is gonna be so bad

'S ok. I got them. Now which door should I pick?

Left's got two missile doors, while right's unexplored. I'll let you guys decide.

Can I go back a console, finish it and reroll next one?

Go left, try out your missiles. You'll get lost quickly if you leave a load of unifinished paths at once.

If you're past the NES, to get a reroll, you have to go down to the previous console and finish a new game

What game is this? Been looking for a long time. You just reminded me of it.

Thanks, I'll try it on the scarier room here.

Oh that's cute. Now he's driving up the image count.
You're really persistant, huh.

>MAME is the last console

I've never heard of this shit, does it even have games?

cool. The snes game I got is fucking impossible.

Good luck. Sure looks spooky.

oh boy

It's an arcade game emulator.

it's an arcade emulator

Wait, I need 5 missiles for this?! I just wasted those!

You have already been moved once

Going back a console to reroll. This shouldn't be too hard.

I don't even, is this a game?

Some manner of platformer. Can't be too bad

Indeed.

I did. My last guy made it.

This sounds like a drag.

Another death, another hour of gameplay reverted. And I literally died one tile above the door to an inn.

Gotta say though, this game has the best fucking game over music I've ever heard, at least.

Just Wily left
>a specific game
Hey look, this thread isn't about a specific game
fuck off

>about a specific game
Please just leave us to our vidya
I don't get why you're so upset over this thread's existence.

Behold, for I have uncovered the powers of low G Man

Namely, the power to jump really high (seriously, he jumps like screen and a half in the air) erasing every enemy and projectile from the screen.

Also the power to press turbo A to make him jump really low all the time, so he looks like a little girl strolling through a field, makes it way more enjoyable.

>trying to site the rules after having his posts deleted by mods, which means they've clearly seen his posts and disagree with him, along with literally everybody else

You haven't even been here since the /vg/ split you tard, this is not the sort of thread /vg/ was created to contain.

So is this a grinding game or what?

The game is god awful, good luck

Underwhelming first phase

>site

I never realized how shitty most NES games were. This seems to be agood way to cure nostalgia goggles.

Finally! The Long Beam!

I JUST PAUSED THE GAME AND IT TURNS OUT I HAVE A WEAPON MENU

IT ONLY TOOK ME 5 STAGES TO FIND OUT

WHAT OTHER UNTAPPED STRENGHTS REMAIN

I'm actually enjoying it

you have no idea
