/vr/ - Retro Games

prolly any arcade shmup with 5 million loops

>>2814472

yes. just on the NES you've got Q-Bert, Arkanoid, and Ikari Warriors.

>>2814472
That's beatable?

Possibly IO on C64.

If you're just talking NES games then probably not.

Is there a patch to fix the glitches in ntsc version?
Or should I just play the jap version?

I think Ghosts n Goblins is harder than Battletoads if we're talking about NES games

>>2814487
What glitch? The only major glitch is for 2 player mode.

>>2814484
It's beatable theoretically but not in 2 player mode. American NES battletoads is bugged in 2 player mod

>>2814487

>Is there a patch to fix the glitches in ntsc version?

I assume you're referring to the Clinger Winger glitch? that doesn't matter unless you're playing 2-player, and even than you can still beat the level


>Or should I just play the jap version?

no. it's extremely watered down. I strongly encourage you to try and beat the real version

>>2814487
Japanese version is a completely different difficulty level altogether, and you don't encounter the hard stop at Clinger Winger in single player mode.

Essentially, stop playing two-player and you'll be fine.

>>2814491
>>2814495
>>2814496
My problem is I prefer to play co-op so I would like to be able to beat it with a friend rather than go at it single player again

>>2814509
You can beat the bugged level if you let player 2 game over in the NTSC version.

But you're probably better off playing the jap version if you really want co-op.

>>2814509

if it's an option for you, the Rare Replay version is the NTSC version and has the Clinger Winger glitch fixed

>>2814472
It's really not that hard, it just requires a lot of replaying so you can memorize the levels.

Also knowing how t maximize your score for extra lives also helps.

>>2814472

>>2814528

easier just for the fact it has unlimited continues.

>>2814535
Yea but the last 2 levels are just this incredible gauntlet, there's potential to be stuck replaying them forever. Not to mention you have to do it all with the shield weapon

>>2814519
would it be possible to somehow extract the rom from that?

>>2814472
Go play Gradius III arcade for some perspective.

>>2814545
THIS

There are a crapload of arcade games, a lot of them ported to the NES, that I would say are harder than battletoads in their attempt to nab quarters

>mfw Arino beat the Japanese Battletoads

okay it's easier but it's still fucking hard

>>2814573
he was really enjoying it too which I loved

>>2814573
Fuck off back to your containment thread weeb

>>2814587
Yeah, I think he enjoyed the huge amount of variety in the game. Every level has a unique gimmick, and that's pretty rare for the time.

Silver Surfer

>>2814492
Clinger-Winger is bugged, but the game is still beatable. You can easily look up a video of people doing it.

>>2814692
Yeah but doesn't the second player have to lose?

>>2814597
>and that's pretty rare for the time

heh

>>2814535
Japanese version doesnt have unlimited continues.

You ever played Sexy Parodius, Anon? That game is fun but it's hard as shit.

Adventures of Bayou Billy?

Immortal?

>>2815910
There's a code for it.

>>2815910

there's a code, that I'd imagine was widely known and used by kids in Japan back than. just like Adventure Island here in the states

>>2814524
That's basically every rare game, they were big on memorization difficulty.

>>2814539
Maybe. Try asking on someplace that's dedicated to homebrew/piracy on modern hardware. They're more likely than anyone to know how to dissect xbone disks. I might also recommend seeing if a dump has been put online anywhere, as you won't get anywhere unless you can rip the files off of the disk itself.

>>2815929
Usually I enjoy gimmick speedruns (e.g. blindfold Punch-Out), but this seems like pointless masochism and I can't enjoy it. Respect the skill tho.

>>2815921
>>2815925
i never knew, i live in mexico, my dad gave me a famicom with lots of games, he bought to a japanese neighboor who was getting deported, this was around 1987 i think, the NES wasnt even officially released here yet, so i didnt knew there was a code for ghost n goblins, (or "zombies" like i used to call the game, since well it was in japanese) lol

>>2814692
Wrong. One of the stages will not continue past the start in 2 player mode.

>>2816289
no, he's right, you're wrong

you kill the 2nd player, have 1st player beat Clinger Winger, and continue 2player on the final stage.
