Contra, No Deaths with the Rifle.
 

Hey Guys! This is me doing a run through the first Contra for the NES using just the standard weapon and not dying. I hope you all like it, sorry for the lack of commentary, it was one of the first runs I did for youtube. NOTE: I did use the Rapid and Barrier Power Ups because it didn't violate using the Rifle.

I know this is kinda considered advertising, but this stuff is actually pretty good. Great work on this stuff, man. I'm running through some of your Mega Man videos right now.

Thank You! Do you think I should tone it down some?

This is advertising, but I'll let this go because it's pretty amazing. Great job! I'll have to run through some of these videos, for sure.

You got made skillz, dude! Also, what are the rules on "advertising" and such? Seems like Red Mage is just starting a thread for his video game playthroughs.

No, it's pretty tight the way it is.

Dude, I marvel at some of those boss fights. I couldn't imagine beating Quickman with the Mega Buster without getting hit.

We consider advertising to be posting links for personal gain (such as "click my affiliate link" or "join my forums") without offering anything to the community in return. This thread is different since the main goal is to share the videos with us, so I don't think there's anything wrong with it. It's pretty much the same as someone posting fan art and providing a link to a gallery with more art.

Dude, you're ten times the gamer I'll ever be. Beating Mega Man 10 was like pulling teeth, and that's probably the easiest one.

Thanks! :D Mega Man 10 is only the easiest one if you play it on easy. If you play it on Hard I would probably rate it one of the harder ones, maybe 2nd or 3rd Hardest to Mega Man & Bass, and Mega Man 9 Super Hero. A lot of people say Mega Man 1 is insanely hard, I haven't had much trouble with it really.

Really cool stuff on there. Swordless Zelda 1 is insane. Are some of these tool assisted runs?

Nope, I haven't done any Tool Assisted Runs, If I do end up doing any in the future though I will note it in the Video Title and Description.

Wow this is amazing stuff. Just subscribed.

Thanks for the Sub! Right now I have a few things I am working on.

I am working on...

Kirby's Adventure No Damage
Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages Blind
Metroid: Zero Mission Blind
Mother 3 / Earthbound 2

I just finished my Deathless run through The Second Ninja Turtles Game, so now I am down to 4 games.

Can't wait for Zero Mission. One of my favorite games of all time.

I really kind of dig this stuff. I watched a few of the Zelda no-sword videos, and they were pretty awesome, and was kinda funny when in a few you could hear you getting kind of pissed at having to leave and re-enter a room.

Your Contra and Turtle videos are pretty stellar.

I haven't watched the no-sword Zelda vid yet. Closest I ever did was as a kid finished the game with just the Wooden sword. I don't think I could even attempt no-sword.

I have to agree. The Zelda no sword videos are captivating. I imagine it was frustrating.

I did the no sword challenge in Zelda 1. Not as hard as you think, trust me. Well, I did it in the 1st quest anyway. I was almost done with the 2nd quest but then my cartridge's save battery decided to crap out and delete the data.

Yeah, It's really not too bad. The only part of it that annoyed me real bad was having to leave and re-enter rooms for the candle. I am going to do the second quest once the 4 runs going on right now are finished.

Nah, you should do 3 heart no rings or magic shield instead

*bows*

You are the King. It's hard as hell to find old school gamers like you.

Yeah, I'm really tired of the plethora of "tool assisted speed-runs" going around Youtube these days. I guess it's a competition of sorts, but it just doesn't give you any sense of personality in the player. I prefer to watch gamers with skill tackle these games with their own style, whether they screw up at times or not. And it's great to see a guy like Red Mage who has the patience to master a game without degenerating into a slew of profanities about how bad a game is like all the AVGN-wannabees!

But... it's fun to curse. :(

Lol, thanks guys! I have thought about doing a Single Turtle Run through the first Ninja Turtles Game using Michelangelo, for people who disagree that Raph is harder to do it with.

I will probably wait until the Zero Mission Run is over with at least before doing something like that though.

I was actually called an AVGN Wannabe at a sight I tryed to show my Single Turtle Run with Raphael on, I was also told that I didn't do anything special and how no one cares and how boring it was, etc. very aggravating, but they are entitled to their opinion. I am not going back there anytime soon, lol.

I wish my friend still worked for SA, I'd have asked for her to promote you on there.

To the song of the Angry Video Game Nerd.

He's gonna take you back to the past
But instead of losing lives, he kicks ass

He'll beat the boss... and get high scores
He'll discover each and every glitch
He don't need codes... or tool assistance
He truly owns at a game that's a bitch!

He's the coolest old school gamer you've never seen
He's the reason why most soil their jeans
Redmage1987 is his name on the screen
He's the Old School Video Game Kiiiiiiiiing!

The nerd isn't even that good at video games. He just does the videos for fun, he's not really serious. But yeah, TAS are stupid... real men don't use savestates :D I actually did beat MegaMan 2 in about 34 minutes on difficult but I used the item 1 glitch a bit. Redmage's vids are legit though. I was amazed with the doc bot battles in MegaMan 3. I thought it was literally impossible to beat Woodman Doc bot without taking damage.

Haha! Thanks for the lyrics!

Doc Wood Man is by far one of the Hardest Mega Man Boss's to perfect with the Mega Buster. A lot of people say Doc Quick Man is, but I find Doc Wood Man to be equally as hard to perfect with the Mega Buster.

Heh, Red Mage shall henceforth be known as the OSVGK in my book!

Lol Thank You! Right now I am focusing on finishing my Metroid: Zero Mission Blind Run, after that I am going to try and focus on finishing the Zelda: Oracle of Ages Blind Run and the Run through Earthbound 2 / Mother 3. Then I'm going to finish the No Damage Run through Kirby's Adventure.

After all that is done I have other stuff planned...

A No Damage Run through Mario 2 (USA) I am also only allowed to use each character 5 times.

A Blind Run through Metal Gear Solid for Gameboy

Zelda 1: Quest 2 Swordless

Earthbound Zero

And Single Turtle Runs through TMNT1 using Michelangelo or Donatello if someone request's it.

Just watched the first part of the Metroid ZM Run. I love watching people play Metroid and get lost. It's been so long since I could get lost in that game. It really reminds me of what I love about that series.

Not amongst the gaming masses. Retro gaming has definitely become a "thing" that you can be into now, as opposed to just being into games.

I'm a retro gamer myself. Only "newer" games I play are Pokemon and Super Smash Bros Melee.

Yeah. When I plan to make videos for youtube I don't really look to one up anyone or show off at all, more than anything I just try to think of ways to make the videos I make more interesting to watch and at the same time make them somewhat different from everyone else's run of the same game you know?
