This 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 and taped over 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 then taped over, 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 also left on the tapes, 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.

During this part I continued from Hauksness where I went to level up when the tape stopped. I think during the video transfer from tape to DVD, the tape messed up and the recording was stopped. After winning the battle with the Starwyvern when the tape messed up, I eventually traveled back to Charlock Castle and kept playing until I was level 17. At some point the DVD recording stopped again in the middle of walking back to Charlock from Tantagel after a defeat.
