Dragon Warrior II - NES playthrough part 16 (recorded 2009)
0This take was played on an original NES console, probably model 1. It would have been either a standard controller or dogbone (NES model 2) controller, and probably played on my Magnavox console TV.
It was recorded on VHS then transferred to a DVD recorder around what records in my files seem to point toward July or August 2009, but the exact date is not known. I had just started using a DVD recorder for the first time and didn't know what I was doing quality-wise so I set it to SLP mode to make the discs last longer. Consequently, the quality of the video is not very good.
To figure out roughly when this was recorded, I only have dates for a few other gaming videos from July and August 2009 that were ripped to my old PC in 2009 with my first capture card that did not have very good audio capture capabilities, which led me to give up on the capture card and stick with DVDs for a while.
In my 2009 game recording video set there are some videos like this one that were first recorded on VHS then recorded onto DVD but still remained on the tape making it possible to re-rip them later though the tape condition didn't usually hold up well after so many years, some that were only recorded directly to DVD-R, some that were only recorded on VHS then transferred to PC with my first capture card then taped over, some that were recorded onto VHS and recorded onto DVD but were taped over, and some that were recorded on VHS but never copied after all these years. There are also a select few videos that managed to be copied with the capture card, copied to a DVD-R and also still remain on the tape.
This is just a full playthrough with the game's audio only and no commentary.
I did not finish the end of this save file on video. I ended up starting a new file and completing it later, but it was not recorded. I still make it very far in these videos. I was so close to the end and didn't realize it!
During this part I continued wandering around Rhone and leveling up until my characters were at levels 37, 33, and 28. Then the tape ended. I probably saved and quit after that, then didn't continue playing and recording this game.
This was the last video I recorded of this playthrough of this game before other things came up. These final three parts might have slight additional quality loss because I did not stop the DVD recorder when transferring this tape as I did with the rest, so they had to be edited before uploading them.
