[To understand better why my masochistic ass made this video, go watch the AVGN's Transformers episode and come back here afterwards.] - NOTE: I've left the STAGE 9 Tile screen appear in the video. There's a lot of stages in the game, but Stage 9 is rather infamous and I wanted to give it a proper highlight so it receives a bit more attention. It was clearly inspired by Mario Bros's maze level and I kinda like it, even if the execution was a bit more cruel in this game's version of it. This is a 100% Showcase of the japanese-only Famicom game Transformers: Convoy No Nazo [MYSTERY OF CONVOY / MYSTERY OF OPTIMUS PRIME]. It was done using the infinite continues password and nothing else.

No saved states or anything of sorts. It is notorious for being one heck of a bad / difficult / cheap / horribly designed / heavily flawed piece of garbage, and since I love going through unnecessary hell so much, I figured why not do a No Damage showcase of the entirity of the game? The controls are slippery, the music is repetitive, the difficulty is cheaper than X6 and the game is literally indescribable. James Rolfe [The Angry Video Game Nerd] did an entire episode dedicated to showcasing just why this game is so horrible, I heavily suggest watching it. I guess in a sense, this is my personal response to James.

I did it so no one else on the internet had to, I did it so it so that I was able to claim it had been done by someone, somewhere. If you think this video is meant to inspire anyone to play the game, you're horribly misguided. This video is a testament to masochism and in a sense, it's what I do best. I do not recommend this video game title unless you are, like me, sitting in a dark room with a laptop, a desire for needless nerdy suffering and free time on your hands. Regardless...yes I love the game, because, well I just can't really explain why correctly. It's an infamous piece of gaming history that has its fun moment when you dig deep enough within the crap that covers about 98% of the experience.

There were some neat ideas here and there, but god damn, this is really a niche game, and I don't even think the word niche describes it correctly. Anyway, my conclusion to this rambling is that I went through this nightmare so that no one else had to, I hope I saved a few innocent and curious souls out there. What better way is there to start 2017 on this channel? The truth is...there is none. So, until I need to torment myself and suffer for absolutely no valid reason, this is your hopefully favorite masochist, knockin' his face into his keyboard. See ya around.
