Gauntlet (NES)

Still too busy for my own good, but I thought I would share the video that made me really interested in TASsing in general.

In a console library full of impossible games, Tengen’s NES port of Gauntlet always struck me as the impossible-est. It’s one of my favorite Tengen titles, yes — I love the way it heavily rewrites video memory in order to get tons and tons of enemies onscreen, which made things jerky but much faster than the flicker mess of Gauntlet II’s NES port. But it’s also incredibly difficult and I never even knew where to start with it.

And yet it’s possible to beat it in 14 minutes, assuming you were a robot. It’s mesmerizing!

Back to normal updates sooooon!

Richter Belmont and His Keyblade

Nobody in the Belmont family ever learned how to walk straight, really.

Fun Fact: Count Dracula’s voice in this game is also the voice of MacGyver in the Japanese dub.
