Bases Loaded 3 - Take On The NES Library #177 arnpoly 2024-03-01 | Review: takeontheneslibrary.com/finished 177-bases-loaded-3This is a full playthrough of Bases Loaded 3 on the NES. This is the only game of the series that doesn't require the full season. Instead, a rating system after each game determines which level of opponent you'll play next. To win, you must earn a perfect 100 rating against the hardest Level 5 team, which I managed to do here in only 3 games, all victories.Note that there is an inconsistency in this video. I failed to record the first game fully in my initial run, so I replayed the first game and stitched the two recordings together to make it look as seamless as possible. I ended up getting a similar result thankfully. Probably no one would notice this but I feel better disclosing it here anyway. ------------------ This is a companion video for my project Take On The NES Library where I am attempting to beat all licensed NES games and more.

This is an excellent top-down run-and-gun style of game, perhaps the best of its kind on the NES. This game is sort of well known for the fact that you can beat the game without really trying by abusing the infinite continues and instant respawns. In this playthrough, I set it to hard difficulty and tried to play it straight up, resulting in a slower, more thoughtful playthrough. It still took quite a few continues, but not nearly as many as it could have taken. There was also a long pause toward the end of the game that I straight up cut out of this video.

The Ren & Stimpy Show: Buckaroo$! - Full Playthrough - Take On The NES Library # arnpoly 2020-04-03 | Review: http://takeontheneslibrary.com/finished/147-the-ren-stimpy-show-buckaroosThis is a full playthrough of The Ren & Stimpy Show: Buckaroo$ on the NES. This is basically a mascot platformer of the early to mid '90s, but where most of them appears on the SNES and Genesis, this one was on the NES. It has a few interesting ideas but is mostly an average platformer at best. ------------------ This is a companion video for my project Take On The NES Library where I am attempting to beat all licensed NES games and more.

Arch Rivals - Full Playthrough - Take On The NES Library #146 arnpoly 2020-03-27 | Review: http://takeontheneslibrary.com/finished/146-arch-rivalsThis is a full playthrough of Arch Rivals on the NES done blind. This definitely feels like the prototype of NBA Jam. I was losing pretty badly for much of the game until I figured out I should just shove everyone around. It was easy after that. ------------------ This is a companion video for my project Take On The NES Library where I am attempting to beat all licensed NES games and more.

The Magic of Scheherazade - Full Playthrough - Take On The NES Library #145 arnpoly 2020-03-20 | Review: http://takeontheneslibrary.com/finished/145-the-magic-of-scheherazadeI am trying something new this time! Here is my full longplay of The Magic of Scheherazade on NES. This is a blind playthrough after having played maybe 30 minutes of the game offline. This is a pretty neat game with its mix of action exploration and turn based combat. Normally I don't record full games this long but I am going to try doing it from now on. An interesting finding of this full recording is that I expected to have played closer to 15 hours than 10.------------------- This is a companion video for my project Take On The NES Library where I am attempting to beat all licensed NES games and more.

Wheel of Fortune - Full Playthrough - Take On The NES Library #144 arnpoly 2020-03-13 | Review: http://takeontheneslibrary.com/finished/144-wheel-of-fortuneThis is a longplay of Wheel of Fortune on the NES. I beat the game on the highest difficulty. This is a short game to play but it took me five attempts to beat this. I am not super great at this game so I needed some luck, especially in the final round. Fortunately, the game basically handed me the grand prize at the end, so that was nice.------------------ This is a companion video for my project Take On The NES Library where I am attempting to beat all licensed NES games and more.

Snake Rattle N Roll - Full Playthrough - Take On The NES Library #143 arnpoly 2020-03-06 | Review: http://takeontheneslibrary.com/finished 143-snake-rattle-n-roll/ This is a full playthrough of Snake Rattle N Roll on the NES. You don't see many isometric NES games but I had a really good time with this one. This is a pretty good run though it starts to fall apart near the end. It's a tough game overall that really ramps up late. I held it together just enough to seal victory.------------------ This is a companion video for my project Take On The NES Library where I am attempting to beat all licensed NES games and more.

Metal Gear - Full Playthrough - Take On The NES Library #142 arnpoly 2020-02-07 | Review: http://takeontheneslibrary.com/finished 142-metal-gear/This is a full playthrough of Metal Gear on the NES. This is one of those classic games many people have played that I got to experience for the first time. It was pretty fun, though it definitely has some issues with the translation and pacing. My first playthrough took about 8 hours, this one was much faster. This isn't an overly skilled playthrough, very much a casual one instead.------------------ This is a companion video for my project Take On The NES Library where I am attempting to beat all licensed NES games and more.

Bases Loaded II: Second Season - World Series - Take On The NES Library #141 arnpoly 2020-01-31 | Review: http://takeontheneslibrary.com/finished 141-bases-loaded-ii-second-season/ This is a playthrough of the World Series in Bases Loaded II: Second Season on the NES. This was roughly a 30-hour game to play all the way through, so instead of that I recorded just the World Series. You have to win 75 games to make it here, then win the best-of-7 series to beat the game. I got here with a 75-5 record and then steamrolled through these four games.------------------ This is a companion video for my project Take On The NES Library where I am attempting to beat all licensed NES games and more.

Space Shuttle Project - Full Playthrough - Take On The NES Library #140 arnpoly 2020-01-24 | Review: http://takeontheneslibrary.com/finished 140-space-shuttle-project This is a full playthrough of Space Shuttle Project on the NES. This is a pretty neat game where you go through the entire space shuttle launch and back to Earth through a series of mini-games. Sadly the game gets very repetitive trying to play through the entire game at once, but it sure is a neat idea just the same.------------------ This is a companion video for my project Take On The NES Library where I am attempting to beat all licensed NES games and more.

Wild Gunman - Full Playthrough - Take On The NES Library #139 arnpoly 2020-01-17 | Review: http://takeontheneslibrary.com/finished 139-wild-gunman This is a full playthrough of Wild Gunman on the NES, featuring all three game modes. I used authentic NES hardware and a Zapper when playing this game. For this video, I cleared the first two modes in one sitting and the third mode later on and combined the videos together into one seamless longplay. This game doesn't have a clearly defined winning condition. My goal was to win the fastest draws in all modes which I did accomplish, then went a little further. In Game A I cleared 20 waves, in Game B I looped the score counter, and in Game C I finished 20 waves which gives you the "MASTER" text after Wave 20. That's enough mastery to consider the game beaten since it doesn't get any more difficult beyond this.------------------ This is a companion video for my project Take On The NES Library where I am attempting to beat all licensed NES games and more.

This is a fun platformer with great music that looks great too. It gets a little tricky in spots and I have a few deaths here and there, but not a bad run overall.------------------ This is a companion video for my project Take On The NES Library where I am attempting to beat all licensed NES games and more.

This is a full playthrough of Shadowgate on the NES. Once you know all the puzzles this game goes pretty quickly. The first try took me several hours and several hints to push me toward the finish line. Aside from picking up a few unnecessary items, this is a straightforward push to the end.------------------ This is a companion video for my project Take On The NES Library where I am attempting to beat all licensed NES games and more.

Amagon - Full Playthrough - Take On The NES Library #136 arnpoly 2019-12-20 | Review: http://takeontheneslibrary.com/finished/136-amagonThis is a full playthrough of Amagon on the NES. This game is pretty tough until you become Megagon, then the game almost gets too easy. It took me some time to embrace the Megagon strategy. I struggled some with deaths in this run and it almost didn't look like I was gonna make it, but I beat the game without continuing.------------------ This is a companion video for my project Take On The NES Library where I am attempting to beat all licensed NES games and more.
