I bought Medal of Honor: European Assault and Neo Contra for the PS2 at Gamestop today.. Traded in 5 PS2 games today, and got $17 for it.. Traded 3 PS2 games and 1 'Cube game (Madden '06) the other day, and got near $15 for it.. That's Gamestop for you: Douching people on used games for the last few years.

Awesome! You're right it was BIG -- particularly since you've been looking for it for soooo long. Great price, too, considering how high it can normally go for. Maybe someday I'll have a copy of my own. :-[ (Until then...I'll be using my repro.)

Oh this is just too good! I told you all I bought one of those cheap controller/systems. Well, I got it today!
What you're looking at is the N64-type controller. This is not just a controller. It's also the console -- LOL. I kid you not. See how I have the AV cords plugged into it. And the AC adaptor, too. That blue square blur is the on/off button. The middle part is where you can plug in the pistol and other controller (weird shape) that came with it.
Flip the controller over and that's where you insert the Famicom games. I haven't tried that out yet, but wow. I wonder if the carts will even stay in there while you play, since they'll be hanging upsidedown.
The best part: the controller comes with built in games! I haven't counted the number of different games (it was sold to me as 13 different games), but if you scroll to the end of the games list, the makers of this sick console actually listed over 76,000 name variations of the same 13 or so games!
Holy shit, right! --- it's got Contra!

Is it really good? No. Is it good? Yes. The gameplay is simple, probably because it had to be made 8-bit. It's kind of like your typical fighter, where it's you vs. some enemy dude. Only it's not just you vs. the enemy dude. First you have to fight off a bunch of goons, and then, once you've killed like ten of them, you fight the boss dude. But it all takes place on one screen, with limited sidescrolling. It's cool.

Ok, so I got my Hacker Internationals, and I've been playing Poker. Does anyone know how much money I need in my bank to get these girls to start stripping!
EDIT: Ok, so they start stripping at every new $1,000 reached. At $5,000 it's essentially Game Over 'cause the chicks have nothing left to take off.
So far I've played Poker and Soap Panic and both, putting aside the 8-bit nudity, aren't bad games. Obviously Poker is poker. And Soap Panic, with it's Tetris-esque gameplay is neat (and tough). I still need to get used to the buttons!

You're right that it's upsidedown, because the bubbles float. But it's not exactly Tetris. You don't try to complete lines, instead you try to attach four or more bubbles of the same color to disappear them. The pieces also flip, like in Tetris, but because the bubbles cluster differently than the shape of Tetris pieces, it's difficult to get adjusted to the game. Fun though!

I wish I had all five, but I've only got the gold disks and the Punch-Outs. I'll have to work harder to get the Game & Watch, since it's so expensive -- though I almost snagged on cheap the other day. And then I'm debating whether or not it's worth getting the stationary set. Maybe if I get it REALLY cheap.

So there were two versions of the gold punch out cart? or do you just own two of the same?
also, what are the changes (if any) in the actual game on the gold carts?

The very same sir. Keep a look out on his auctions he lists new ones all the time but they go quick. He has another block set for $25 thats listed as pick-up only, but i think that might be a mistake. you might wanna try contacting him if youre interested.

I saw that block set. But like I said...no money right now. And the pick-up only is definitely a mistake. The seller has shipped bunches of those out. No reason to stop now.

Picked up these SWEET nintendo playing cards:

(http://i17.ebayimg.com/03/i/08/c5/c1/6b_1.JPG)
I guess on the back it says "Nintendo Playing Card Co. Ltd." which , I'm guessing, would age them between 1950 - 1975. Although I'm sure someone will come across something and they'll be from 1998 or something ;D ;D ;D

I was gonna PM you about those. I saw them yesterday with no bids. I was uncertain about their age as well, but I figured they had to be at least pre-1980. That case they come in looks like 60s.

Its funny, these were on ebay about a month ago for like twice as much, with a buy it now for 70 bucks. When it didn't sell, I asked the seller if they would give them to me for 30, and they said no. So when they relisted it, I wound up getting them for 22...go figure. haha

Just pick up this one, factory sealed, so the auction said:

I've decided to focus my attention like vealchop, so I'm gonna be picking up as many of the Hacker's, Super Pigs, and Mimis as I can get. I guess that's still a bit more broad of a goal than vealchop might recommend, but hell, I love pirates/unlicensed, so I'll go with it.
BTW: Anyone (manuel/feather) know the name of this Super Pig? I need to add it to the games list.
BTW 2: This is the first CIB/NIB I've ever purchased having actually wanted it...which is dangerous after all my "burn the boxes" talk from last month!

Hey JC, that Super Pig game is Emi-chan no Moero Yakyuuken. Translates to Emi's Hot Strip Game. It's a paper rock scissors game and soooo annoying since you have to defeat her so many more times than she defeats yyou to get her to strip. But I guess that makes it fun too!

Those playing cards I won (posted them a few posts back) came in a case. On the bottom it says "Nintendo Playing Card Co.". I nor the seller knew exactly when they were from. Then I found this on wikipedia:
In 1963, Nintendo Playing Card Company Limited was renamed to Nintendo Company, Limited by Hiroshi. Nintendo now began to experiment in other areas of business using the newly injected capital.
That places them before 1963! The cards themselves are still sealed with the stamp inside!

Damn. Such a good find. I hope we can pin down a date for those at some point. At least we know pre-1963. I don't think plastic was used in mass production for a couple decades into the 1900s. I'm not sure about that. But a really cool find! :D

Here's what I got today.
(http://www.speakeasy.org/~sjmaks/goodies/goodies2.jpg)
(http://www.speakeasy.org/~sjmaks/goodies/goodies3.jpg)
The 52 in 1 above shows 52 uniques according to the label, including 2 versions of SMB 2. The 43 in 1seems to have 11 that repeat.
(http://www.speakeasy.org/~sjmaks/goodies/goodies4.jpg)
The big 100 in 1 will probably be the coolest, it's the heaviest of them all. Most feel like they just have a ROM glob. The 100 in 1 also uses actual cart labels if you look closely you can see "TV Game cartridge." The Pokemon cart is most likely 4 hacks.
(http://www.speakeasy.org/~sjmaks/goodies/goodies5.jpg)
(http://www.speakeasy.org/~sjmaks/goodies/goodies6.jpg)
Fifty-five pirate FDS disks.
(http://www.speakeasy.org/~sjmaks/goodies/goodies7.jpg)
A sampling of some of the pirate disks. Note the SMB3 artwork which is most likely an SMB1 level hack. 1943 is most likely a cartridge "trained" to work on the FDS with a game doctor.

Well, nothing too exciting in the pile yet. The FDS disks are pretty standard, about 15 wouldn't load without errors, but I didn't have my game doctor plugged in so they may be hacked cart games that need a doctor.
The 100 in 1 cart has the following games:
TMNT 2
Famicom Castle game (not sure of the title)
Adventure Island
Ice Climber
Binary Land
Nuts & Milk
Lode Runner
Dig Dug
Galaxian
The Pokemon cart, as expected, is four hacked games. One of them is based on Little Nemo Dream Master, another on a Dastardly and Mutley game (of Wacky Races fame). The other 2 I wasn't sure of.
The 1995 Super 8 in 1 has the advertised games: Ducktales 2, Prince of Persia, Wrestlemania, Caesar's Palace, X-Men, California Games, Little Mermaid and Double Dribble.
The 52 in 1 has 52 unique games, one of which is an SMB1 hack called "Fancy Bros." Basically, the left half of the screen is drawn with what is the next half of the screen you will encounter, but you can't interact with it. Pretty stupid and useless.
The 212 in 1 has a load of repeats including some HK original called Frog River. It's basically a Frogger ripoff, except no matter what you do, your frog dies on the first jump you make into the playfield.
The purple one with the Tetris on the label is a 64 in 1 with some repeats. Legend of Kage is on it, along with an SMB1 hack called "Fast Bros II" which is basically SMB1 running at double speed.
The 4 in 1s use reset to switch between games. If I recall, the 76 in 1 are all uniques. The FDS disk with the SMB3 artwork is one of the common SMB1 hacks where the first thing you encounter is a 1-up and turtle locked in a box of bricks.
The 100 in 1 cart has the following games:
TMNT 2
Famicom Castle game (not sure of the title)
Adventure Island
Ice Climber
Binary Land
Nuts & Milk
Lode Runner
Dig Dug
Galaxian
The Pokemon cart, as expected, is four hacked games. One of them is based on Little Nemo Dream Master, another on a Dastardly and Mutley game (of Wacky Races fame). The other 2 I wasn't sure of.
The 1995 Super 8 in 1 has the advertised games: Ducktales 2, Prince of Persia, Wrestlemania, Caesar's Palace, X-Men, California Games, Little Mermaid and Double Dribble.
The 52 in 1 has 52 unique games, one of which is an SMB1 hack called "Fancy Bros." Basically, the left half of the screen is drawn with what is the next half of the screen you will encounter, but you can't interact with it. Pretty stupid and useless.
The 212 in 1 has a load of repeats including some HK original called Frog River. It's basically a Frogger ripoff, except no matter what you do, your frog dies on the first jump you make into the playfield.
The purple one with the Tetris on the label is a 64 in 1 with some repeats. Legend of Kage is on it, along with an SMB1 hack called "Fast Bros II" which is basically SMB1 running at double speed.
The 4 in 1s use reset to switch between games. If I recall, the 76 in 1 are all uniques. The FDS disk with the SMB3 artwork is one of the common SMB1 hacks where the first thing you encounter is a 1-up and turtle locked in a box of bricks.

Do you have a better pic of it? What's the top look like? How many pins?
Looks like it converts 62 pins to 62 pins? Got a clue? Four pins isolated at each end and the rest in the center.

I forgot to follow up, I came across another one of those, it's just a SNES/SFC convertor. Probably so you can play SFC games on a SNES, or vice versa :)

What does the converter actually do? In the case of the NES/Famicom, there are different numbers of pins. But with this converter its got the same number on each end (game/console ends), in the same four-four-isolated arrangement.

SFC games won't fit into a SNES due to some tabs being inside the SNES that prevent insertion of the cart. Likewise I imagine there is some reason a SNES game wont fit into an SFC. But, in terms of pinouts, they are the exact same thing. It's just a physical lockout.

QuoteLikewise I imagine there is some reason a SNES game wont fit into an SFC.
SFC carts are smaller and have a bit of a rounded front, so SNES games can't even get throught the SFC's dust door.
To stay on topic, I picked up 2 FC games at a local flea market on Sunday: F1Circus and a Pirate of that Jewels game by Hwang.

I just changed the belt on the twin and it works great!
The ac is also perfect and only cost me 10 bucks. The system was 10$ plus shipping from seller to japan to me. everything totaled out to about 200$ with 2 day shipping from japan. Its not great but the twin is perfect condition, barely any dust at all in it. I'm pretty happy with the outcome. If anyone wants twin adapters i will make you one like mine for 10bucks plus shipping. I'm gonna work on sourcing some ac adapters and famicom adapters.

Got my Chaotic Cube from 1970 today! Mine is the green version though and came CIB like new! The seller didnt know it was technically made by Nintendo (its printed on the toy and the plastic case itself but not on the box) so it went under the radar of a lot of buyers! I got it for $10!

It's a pirate, a Snow Bros original it's hard to find, this one is quite different from the others that I have 'cause had a rip-off label from the Genesis version. But it says TOAPLAN in the opening of the game and it's entirely in japanese.

haha! ya i know, I find myself slowly wanting to look at G&W listings on ebay. If they go over $20, which they usually always do, I stay away. This one was a steal cause the seller doesn't use paypal. But I'm waaay to wrapped up in pre-famicom stuff now to get wrapped up in G&W, and I don't think I'd ever drop $800 for one :D

From what I remember, you can choose your own character, & "stupid" ? I think it's more a matter of fact that people search for Street Fighter & end up not finding Master Fighter.
That Master Fighter VI looks sweet, by the way. YOKO seems to use the term 'wrestler' in place of 'fighter' . :P

Ya i made a few bids on some but they went higher than I wanted to pay. Theres only a few more items I'm really looking to get my hands on (Nintendo's Twister, Love Tester, and Chiritory (ya right!)) Everything else I wanted I have. I have a bunch of board games and a bunch of N&B sets and 4 Ultra Machines, one of which is the american version. I really need to take a picture of everything so I can show you guys. I'm moving to Kansas City in a few weeks and buying a house, so hopefully I'll have my own game room. My fiancee really hates all the clutter haha, if you saw the Wii pics I put up you can tell how neat she likes the place. So when I get my room set up I'll take some shots. Although when we have a kid (in a few years!) I'm sure my game room will go the way of the Dodo, oh well. :D

I was just opening up some Mimi and Super Pig games, and I'm realizing that Hacker had a hand in these other companies' unlicensed games. I mentioned the Super Pig game with a Hacker label on it. Three of the Mimi games I got (all from the same series) came with Hacker sleeves for the disks. Maybe Mimi bought Hacker's excess sleeves, or maybe Hacker helped get Mimi's games into the market. Neat, nonetheless.

I have to be real careful, though. My Famicom has problems putting games in and out, so I have to push/pull real hard...and the plastic is so damn cheap that it literally is two more forced pushes away from breaking...ugh. Oh well, will just have to be very very soft and careful when playing. :)

Well, I really interested in them, because this isn't the first time that I've seen what look like test carts with those switches and holes. Though the ones I've seen didn't have nice labels but had what looked like tape with the name of the game written on them.

Do you know if there's a lot of flexibility with these carts? That is, if I had a copier, I could put pretty much any Famicom game on them?

No, you can only write early games that didn't use mappers. I think some of those may have also supported the UNROM carts as well but I can't recall.

I just put in my latest order from HK. I've got another Game Doctor coming, this one is a clone of the Bung unit called the Magic Card II Turbo. He also found 2 Street Fighter carts and 20 more multicarts. I can't wait ;D

Tough to say, feba. I've found it particularly hard to come by, though when you do find it, it's not very expensive. Try eBay and Yahoo Japan. Pink Godzilla might have it, but I don't know what their shipping policy is.

Early Nintendo toy from '69. Once in a while you can find these on ebay for super cheap cause unless you really know you'd never know they were made by nintendo, they were distributed by a different company. But if you look closely on the toy itself you can see the nintendo name/copyright. As far as I know it came in a red and green color. Set complete! :D

Cool to get the converters. They've been selling decently. Don't know what was up with this auction and why it didn't sell for a few bucks more. Of course, games without labels don't sell well. But maybe you'll get lucky and find something cool on there. And if not, you can create your own labels and resell them. :o

I might resell them since I don't really collect multicarts; but, I don't know, if they've got good games on them. :-\
Either way, it's going to be interesting - I've never had a multicart before.

I didn't know at the time that nintendo was planning on releasing the famicom micro GBA version here in the states. I still like carrying it around with me to play SMB on the go.

Usually items from Canada are delayed.
Anyways, the seller lied! There weren't 4 converters! >:( There were 5! :) Wait, let me make sure... yep, 5.
In addition to the 3 unlabeled cartridges were 2 more, labeled cartridges! :o Wait, let me make sure... yep, 5.
A winner is me. :)
But it's late now & I need to go to sleep. Tomorrow I'll be at school all day, & when I get back I need to prepare for drill weekend in which we'll be staying out in the field.
So I won't have time to play these until Sunday night, or Monday. (http://tintsshades.port5.com/images/hmph.gif)

I just picked up over 20 issues of the Japanese mook "Backup Technique" which was the premiere console hacking magazine back in the day. There's all kinds of crazy projects for Famicom and other consoles/computers in it, most of which the Western world has never even heard of. All the issues were 500 Yen....EMS shipping to the US is going to be about US$100 :(

The 3 issues I have right now have a few crazy things. There's a lot of FDS copying/hacking stuff in them. There's also plans for a MIDI interface for the Famicom. Totally insane that they made this thing. Another thing is an audio mod that allows some additional audio controls on the Famicom. I'm not sure if the newer issues I'm getting will have much Famicom stuff, might be more Super Famicom related.

The verdict is in!
There's nothing too interesting:
Looking at the auction:
httpt://cgi.egay.com/wtfisthis/eBayICUPI.dll?Longeffingurlname (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=020&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=300096667296&rd=1&rd=1)
The black cartridge with the ripped off label is SMB3, which is perfect because I've always wanted to try out this game but not actually keep it. ;D
The one with the Canada flag is the same 63 in 1 featured in the Pirated section.
The blue cartridge is a 110 in 1. Again, the same one in the Pirated section.
As for these other two:
The 31 in 1 has some common games in it & features a nice select screen ripped off of the Famicom Disk System startup... with snappy music.
The 110 in 1 is the same, but it took me a while to realize that it was an NES game. :P I'm keeping that one.
I'll sell the 31 in 1 for 5 dollars to anyone who wants to do a review of it for the Pirated section... I don't feel like doing it.

I got the issues of Backup Technique today. They look brand new, but smell like they've been in a storage locker :( Maybe they'll air out.
Anyhow, in the 2 issues I looked at so far there are a few interesting Famicom things. One issue has reviews of a bunch of pirate originals, including many of the SF2s and a ton of Mario hacks. The other has reviews of a bunch of pirate Famicom clones, many of which I've ever seen before. The first few pages are color slicks with some really nice pics of the stuff. There's also a section on making your own selectable ROM board (pretty lame), as well as replacing the ROMs with EPROMs and burning your own ROMs. They also showed some stuff about the internals of pirate XX in 1 games.
SNES is the main focus in the two issues I got, there is some crazy stuff in these.

It'd be cool to hear more about these reviews. Any hacks you haven't seen before?

QuoteI've noticed that just about everything I get from Japan has a smell, kinda musty, as if that's what Japan's closets and storage bins smell like.

FamicomFreak can you please give me a list of the 31 in 1? If you still have it I'll double your offer and buy it from you for $10. I assume you want to do it through ebay? Where are you located for shipping prices? I'm Canadian.

You're missing one, Risa no Yousei Densetsu, which is a strange one since it was made by Konami. All the others are Nintendo.

Yep, argentine pesos are three more times a dollar. For example :
1 dollar = 3 pesos
so 120 pesos are 30 dollars.
Super Easy! :)

Babies = cool/sweet things. It's one of English's more colorful uses for the word "baby." In reference to a cool car: "Check out that baby!" Somewhat exchangeable with (still in reference to a car): "Check out that sucker!" "Check out that mother!" and "Check out that shit!"

:o
If you are asking what a deck are those, well those are famicom games in NES pirate format cartridge, but they don't work in a NES not modified, so the seller says "not work in NES, only in famicom with an adaptor".
He don't describe what games are, but I can see a Twin Bee, Star Force and others.

If you think so, then yes it's worth it. I have seen these sell in lots for less than $3. But that's in lots that sell for $200+. The Wai Wais don't show up often on eBay, so it's not a terrible price to pay for what's a good game.

You bid on stuff you don't even know? Cool. ;D
It's the "Super Mario Brothers Original Soundtrack". (the record. in the background is a half-used sticker card)
Have fun with it.
Is that your account (hobinson79) ? Do you have a Japanese address or how do you get your stuff? (The auction says "won't ship internationally) ???

I'll have to post a review of it once it arrives. Or at least a thread about it. The wierd thing is on the back of the box is a pictured Zapper. I wonder if this could possibly be a HKO zapper hentai gambling game? lol now that's a genre for the record books.

It's obviously pirated, but what I meant by unlicensed games is that it's likely to have unlicensed originals by Hacker, Super Pig, Mimi, etc. on it. I'll be curious to know more when you get it.
Could be a Zapper game, but I doubt it. Sometimes piraters put their other products on the back as a sort of advertising. I have an SMB2j cart like that.

I've been MIA for a while since I reached my 1000 game milestone, but I'm back on the saddle now I guess. This was my first game related purchase in over three months. Most of the carts look like boots, but for that many multi carts, I figured it would be worth it anyways.

Oh, man. I was the original bidder on that auction. But I wasn't willing to pay that much (and I pretty much forgot about the auction), though it might be worth the price if that's the Japanese Contra, instead of the damn NES version. I don't think I've come across the Japanese version. And maybe that's SMB2j in there...label picture looks like it could be. Though I'm still searching for a pirated Bubble Bobble in the hopes that I'll find the FDS version on a cart.
Anyone know which game is on the cart with the bat on the label? I've seen it before, but still don't know what game is on it.

I was in hopes that alot of these carts were legit releases, but now that I look at them, the only ones that look legit are that Technos cart in the bottom left hand corner, that Super C cart, and the TMNT cart... the rest look like boots to me... but I'm still green in the Famicom dept. I figured the cart with the bat on the front was an Akumajou Dracula game, or Kid Dracula maybe.

The eBay lot arrived today, so I figured I'd break it down. Starting from the left top...
Row 1
This cart is labeled "Raio on Buncelinc Bay" , and says it's made by Hudson Soft, but it's really Topgun :/
This one is Legend of Kage, and is also copyrighted by Hudson Soft
115 in 1
Bootleg Contra (Japanese Version)
Mario 2 Boot
Bubble Bobble Boot
Batman boot ... :(
Row 2
Double Dragon II boot
Double Dragon boot
Mag Max boot
B-Wings boot
Top Gun boot
Row 3
Mario 3 boot
31 in 1
1300 in 1
64 in 1
The other two rows are all legit carts. I wish alot of these weren't boots, but I still didn't come out to bad.

It's probably supposed to be, but it's printed on the label exactly the way I quoted it, and is actually Top Gun, which sucks, because I got two Top Gun boots in that lot, and I hate that game.

I haven't actually decided if I want to start selling off my boots, or just mix them in with my collection. I have alot of bootleg Famidisks that I've accumlated as well. If I decide to sell them, I'll probably just relist them on eBay in one big lot. I'd be more interested in trading them for games I want or just some decent LEGIT releases, than selling them.

Those Jaleco carts are legit for sure. And I love the way piraters spelled.
Hey, Dev, do you know if that Bubble Bobble is the FDS version? I think the only way to tell is differences in the backgrounds of the EXTEND screens.

Believe it or not, in all of my years of gaming, I'd never played a Bubble Bobble game until I put in the boot, and played it for a lil' bit yesterday, so I have no idea what the EXTEND screens are. If you can get a screen cap of what I'm looking for though, I'll find out which one it is, and let you know.

Never played BB. :o What kind of gamer are you! :P I'll track down a screen later, maybe I can get both, but I suck at emulation, so I probably won't be able to. The EXTEND screens happen when you collect every letter, E-X-T-E-N-D. They appear in bubbles and those bubble usually appear when you cluster bubbled enemies together and pop them at the same time. Once you collect all the letters to make the word EXTEND, the game will switch to the EXTEND screen and you'll get 1-up.

Good question, Jedi. I hope so. We'll see when I get it. I guess the three options are: someone didn't know what they were selling, didn't care, or it doesn't work.
I wouldn't worry too much JC. I'll bet 133 MHz will know how to fix it if it does arrive broken. That guy has amazing techincal know-how.

Yeah, Bubble Bobble. I don't know if there is an FDS verison in cart form, but that's what I'm searching for. It's possible they ported the FDS version to cart, but because the NES cart version already existed, they might not have cared to port it.

Nice man! For some reason really rare stuff always seems to pop up in Australia. The owner of the Nintendo AVS system (the prototype on display at Nintendo World NYC) is from Austrailia, and the only other "slugger mate" toy I've ever seen was in Australia.

Really? I didn't know the AVS was found in Austrialia. It's weird that some of the stuff that you least expect to find in Australia can be found in Austrialia ;D By the way I was at New York 2 weeks ago and I got to go at Nintendo World to see the Nintendo AVS for real! It's huge and looks like a Commodore 64. I got pics if your interseted. :)

Everytime I visit I take pics so I got plenty hahaha! As far as I know there were 3 NES AVS prototypes made. One was destroyed, ones in Japan, and one is owned by the dude in AUS on loan to Nintendo World. Last time I was there I asked a dude that worked there if it in fact was working in 1985 at CES and he said it was, he didn't now what software it was running however.

you kind of need to work through a contact, PM me and I can hook you up with one. Be prepared to pay a slight buyers fee for each item, and shipping both within japan, and to wherever you are. But the items you find on there you won't find anywhere else, so if you got the loot it's pretty worth it. Just don't let it get out of hand, I had to take a 6 month break from buying, thats how good the stuff on there is!

Just picked up about 25 pirate disks for a buck a piece. Some of them came in these neat clear and black hard plastic cases I hadn't seen before. Usually they're all just clear. Doesn't look like anything too special, but I haven't popped them into my Disk System. Hell...I haven't popped any of my 300+ pirate disk into my Disk System.

The only cool one is Metroid. Otherwise, it's like baseball and tennis games. Mr. Gold, Falsion, Section Z. If you get into disk pirate collecting, you'll start to notice which are the common pirates and which are the uncommon. I hadn't come across Metroid yet, but the rest are typical. I'm hoping to find All Night Nippon SMB someday.

Usually when you see a FamicomStation, they come with the black FamicomBox carts. I'm getting the carts and the rare as heck Sharp NES controllers. He's getting the FamicomStation, which he'll rehabilitate and sell. :)

10 of the 13 pirated carts arrived today. Some of them were really kewl but the street fighter game plays horrible!! there is also a pokemon game where pikachu is in the forest or something and aladdin 3. Then there is tmnt3, ninja crusaders, and some disneys games as well as tiny toons. The games were so dirty that I had to open some of them up to clean them up in order for them to work.

Exactly...even if you choose Surface or whatever the cheapest is, it's still very expensive. I had to pay the shipping cost of those 300+ carts -- those things are heavy. You don't realize it when you've got one cart in your hand. They really add up.

shipping surface is worse than having every kind of cancer all at the same time

I'd rather Surface than every type of cancer. Cancer can kill slowly; Surface, while slow as well, can only drive you temporarily crazy. But actually, I'm very patient and don't mind the wait...so sometimes I ship Surface, as I did this time.

The sign costs about $40-$50 to ship, or so I thought. It has to go via EMS if it's being shipped alone. It's too large to be shipped via cheap Airmail or Sal. The cheaper Airmail and Sal rates for items under 2 KG only applies if the item is less than 60 cm long, and the sign is longer than that. If it's bundled with other items it will be cheaper since it doesn't weigh that much.

One of them is 82 in 1 and has the usual games that come in a pirate but the other one is 5 in 1 and comes with Samurai Pizza Cats, Snow Bros, Aladdin 3, Sonic the hedgehog, and ice climber.

Partena's Mirror! It's a really cool game, so if you aren't thinking "awesome" right now, you are wrong! :)
HOWEVER, when I put the disk in, I see the Zelda 1 title screen loading! What's up with that? Seems like somebody put Zelda 1 on it, because it certainly isn't Partena's Mirror. Even though the label of the case as well as both sides of the disk say it is, it clearly isn't!
So I've been playing Zelda 1 today. Man, it's been almost ten years since I last played it. Cool game. I still remember many of the secrets too. Interesting that the sound effects are quite different in the FDS version.

Its possible that the disk was rewritten with a different game. Sometimes people will leave the original game on one side and write a different game to the other side. I've never had it happened where I expected it to be one game (because of the cover, labels) and it turned out to be a different one.

I have my favorite games in a cassette tape case. You'd be surprised, but Famicom games are about the same size as the cassette tapes' clear plastic shell covers. Mine case holds about 20 games and looks like a small briefcase. It's cool, and I only paid about $2 for it.

I think people with small hands (or a pair of screwdrivers) could take the cart by the sides and pull the entire thing out. I can't ;D.

Well mine has a ribbon so it's all good. Mine has either Korean or Thai(I think it's Korean) writing on it. It's kind of neat.

From my experience with ribbonless converters, the connection between the converter and the cart is tighter than the connection between the converter and the system, so they come out pretty easily. I do, however, prefer to use my converters that have ribbons...because the ones with ribbons are guaranteed to come out every time.

My converter is extremely tight when it comes to attaching and detaching the cart.

for the adapter thing all you do is put the nes thing in down position and wiggle the cart as the thing releases and comes up. thats what i do at least and i havent gotten it stuck yet.

A few weeks back, I outbid Kite200 (sorry about that buddy!) on a Famicom lightgun. Its arrived now, and I have to say I love this thing. So much better then the zapper.
Here's some pictures for intrist.

Interesting to note: the Famicom Light Gun has the trigger that pulls out as if to load it. I don't really understand why its there, because unlike the zapper you can't look through its sight because of the plastic sping that will beat you in the face!

except thats its barrel looks exactly the same as the Zapper. It only looks like a real gun at a distance. I think the whole thing that NoA had to redesign it is drastically overblown. I mean quite honestly, I've seen cap guns that look more realilistic than the Famicom Light Gun.

I have just ordered a copy of Doki Doki Panic ;D ;D. I think I payed over the odds for it ($50) but at least it is original:
http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-49-en-70-2jci.html
They seem to be scarce on Ebay however, I did bid on one recently but I got out bid by a sniper (the bastard). It ended on $40 - loose disk with case only so I was not prepared to pay anymore for it as I had a limit. Back in Dec I was going to purchase a loose disk copy version from Toysonline but I really wanted the original CIB.
This game seems to increase in value, I have been told that a CIB should go for $20. After all it is one of the most talked about disk games due to it being SB2 predecessor.

(first post, woohoo! howdy)
came upon this at a shop by chance. was the only thing remotely interesting (apparently had been sitting there for years)
was sealed when bough.
it's actually a 'port' (lol) of Lethal Enforcers. Go Go 1994 appears when you beat a stage,
no digitised graphics here - all the scenes from the arcade game appear to be here in sprite form.

picture shows a bunch of other pirate and sachen carts I picked up of late. yup at the top is summer carnival '92:Recca. stoked beyond belief to have found this one.
good pirate (fami and md) games are becoming way hard to find these days. but I'm up to the challenge.
so anyone ever heard of this pirate before? first time I have. manual comes in both japanese and 'english' (just barely comprehensible, not too bad though).
is this a japanese made pirate?
love this crap

so anyone ever heard of this pirate before? first time I have. manual comes in both japanese and 'english' (just barely comprehensible, not too bad though).
is this a japanese made pirate?
love this crap

I've never heard of Lethal Weapon/Lethal Enforcers, but it sounds cool if it's really a port. I'll have to get it added to the games list. No doubt there's all kinds of "crap" out there we don't know about. I've never even heard of that Go Go company. And that Recca is cool. Very hard to find...there are some pirates I've been trying to find for a couple years now.

I'd tell you, but then that would tip you off. ;D One of them is Recca, which isn't the rarest pirate out there, but certainly hard to find. I've only ever seen two, and both of them weren't for sale. Another hard one to find is Boogerman, but I'm a week away from purchasing two Boogerman carts. Less rare, but still hard to find, is Somari. I've seen a bunch of them but never been willing to put up the cash for it. Perhaps harder to find is the unhacked Somari, that is, the version with Sonic instead of Mario. I think I'm about to have my hands on one of those soon, too.

let me know how it pans out. I can probably pick up boogerman and somari, though for the life of me I can't remember where I saw these. how do I identify an unhacked somari? is it possible by label?

There are at least three versions of Sonic the Hedgehog. Two unhacked, and the other is Somari. You can really only be sure by checking the gameplay. No Mario = !!!

YAY! I just got my twin fami from Japan! Only $20 on ebay and came with 5 disks & 5 cartridges! I love it!
I also ordered, but haven't yet received, the Lost Levels SMB which I'm really excited to play--hopefully will arrive in a few days! I just started collecting famicom stuff, now I have over 60 games and several multi-carts. Just wondering what disks are good to get. Any advice? I'm looking for games that are different than the US NES versions.
I have the Family Trainer, 3d glasses, and Arkanoid game & controller for the Fami but don't yet have the light gun or any other controllers. Anyone have something they'd like to sell? I have an original Famicom that I could never get to work (damn!) but was told that it worked when I bought it--maybe trade?? for something.
I've been playing my games on a famiclone which is exactly the same as the Fami but with turbo buttons on the controllers, AV outputs, and no mic on controller #2.
Love the site, btw!
Thanks! -Eric

Shipping was $60, but for a total, that only made like $80 so it was a damn good deal, especially since there were 10 games with it. Guess no one was bidding on it at night when the auction ended. I got it in like 4 days, too, from Japan to Oregon. I rarely get domestic mail that fast. ;D

Best place to find good pirates is on this and other forums. I get all of mine from people who post ones for sale on forums. It's harder to find them on eBay, and even if you do, they sell for too much.
And I don't know enough about the Sonic games to know exactly how many were made for the Famicom. I've seen at least two different ones, but the screens posted above look like a third, though I've never come across a cart of it.

Mario 8 is really bloody elusive! can't find it anywhere.
got a mario 10 on lock if anyone's interested.
picked up samurai spirits for famicom today (pirate port of the neo geo game). excellent intro, alright character models.
also found an original Final Conflict famicom cart. good game, way too hard off the bat.
also got Master Chu (Sachen famicom cart). nice cart, bad game.

25 dollars shipped from Argentina. which is quite cheap considering the price includes shipping, which is around 9 US dollars if I remember correctly.
oh and I can get boogerman in multicart (3-in-1), but price is 28 dollars shipped until I find a cheaper source.
who's Hehaji and how much does SMW go for?

Yeah, the unhacked Somari would just put Sonic in place of Mario. I kinda wonder which came first, the Sonic Somari or the Mario Somari. I try to keep a mental list of which games are hacks, but it's tough to say if Somari is a Sonic hack or if Sonic is a Somari hack -- the latter would be strange.
And I don't know if the FDS version of Bubble Bobble exists. I'll keep buying Bubble Bobble carts until I find it, even if I never do. It would be much easier for pirate makers to port the NES version instead of porting the FDS version. And the difference between the two is so slight that there wouldn't be too much demand for the FDS version as a cart.
You'll see reviews of these over the next few months, if I can find the time. I still don't have them to test them out for myself; I can't wait for them to arrive.

Porting FDS games to cartridges is usually a great hassle for pirates. You have to recreate the entire FDS BIOS on the cart (which is a whopping 8KB) or at least the parts that the game calls (which is usually called a hacked FDS BIOS), also you need to recreate the FDS interrupt signal using the system clock and some TTL integrated circuits. And don't even mention things like remapping cart memory, removing loading screens, etc. Take a look at your SMB2j cart and you'll see it has loads and loads of chips, since SMB2j is a disk only release it's justifiable, but if there's a cart release why get through all that hassle when you can just copy the PRG and CHR and call it a day? Not to mention it's cheaper (less chips per cart) :P.

You can add Toy Story (not the crappy hack, but the port) and Dance Dance Revolution to the list. These two are particularly interesting to me. Dance Dance is so unexpected (but I hear it sucks) and I never knew Toy Story existed. There was an SMB hack with Woody or something, but this Toy Story is supposed to be an original.

Is Dance Dance Revolution the one which comes with those DDR-pad type Famiclones? Because that's what they are: a Famiclone w/o cart slot (gloptop ROM directly connected to NOAC) and a DDR-style pad for controller. Never imagined that a cart version existed, or that somebody underwent the hassle of dumping the ROM from one of those.

I have a bomberman hack with woody as protagonist in one of the multicarts I have, maybe that's the cheap hack you mean?
I found what I thought was a coolspot cart, but appears to be snake rattle and roll with a hacked title screen (called 7up 2)- not sure if any other aspect of it is hacked. the cart label is lovely.

I would assume it is. I've never seen the DDR-pad types. I've only seen the cart version online here and there, but never for sale.

It's definitely a pirate. The original has a white cart: HERE (http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h55711890). The label looks like an exact of the real label or box or something. Pirates of Snow Bros. are pretty common. I'd put it's worth at no more than $5. I paid $2 for mine. The real thing, cart only, would probably be worth closer to $20.

Got some of my stuff today! Here's what I think:
Boogerman
(awesome, but I couldn't figure out how to navigate the second part of the first level!)
Bubble Bobble
(it's the FDS version! How can you tell: The selection screen doesn't have the password option and the EXTEND screen is all those cookie looking things instead of cookies/letters)
Dragon Ball Z 2
(crappy original fighter, but the dudes fly/jump at each other instead of walking/jumping -- that's a cool feature)
Fatal Fury 2
(crappiest fighter I've ever played; highly not recommended)
Fighter multicart (KOF '98, SF: 12 peoples, Mighty Final Fight)
(KOF is OK; SF is standard stuff)
Harry's Legend
(very cool original plaformer. I expected it to be a hack of that magic carpet game, but it's not! it's quite fun and the boss [same throughout it seems] gets harder and harder)
Kart Fighter
(second crappiest fighter I've ever played; I don't get why people want this game)
Lion King
(cool and just like the Genesis version, I think. Simba is cute as hell)
Mortal Kombat: 18 people
(typical but fun)
Mortal Kombat: 28 people
(typical and not as fun)
Power Rangers -- hack :P
(boring, 'cause it's only a title screen hack)
Somari
(really fun, but I would prefer a version with Sonic instead of Mario)
Sonic the Hedgehog
(not unhacked Somari; a completely different version of Sonic -- really fun, but I already have this version)
Street Fighter: 12 peoples
(typical)

BTW whats the easiest way to tell if a game is a pirate without knowing what the original looks like? By the way, it looks like it has a copyright date on the cart, is that usual for pirated games?

Copyrights are very unusual on pirated carts. Usually you can tell a fake by its label, but in this case, the label is near perfect. So, with most pirates, the label will be overkill (holographic or have images that don't belong to the game [such as a 3D-looking Mario]) or there won't be a copyright or company name on the label. But, when the label looks real, you can usually tell by the shape of the cart. There are only 5 or 6 different shapes of carts. Taito carts have two shapes, Konami carts have two shapes, and then most carts have a similar shape. You just have to take time to look at legit carts to know the difference. Color also matters. While Famicom carts came in almost any color, pirates are usually an ugly neon green, mustard yellow or your standard black.

Thanks for the info :)
I basically looks like they enlarged the image from the original label. Its interesting that its so similar to the original as many of the other pirates i've seen on here look very different. It'll be interesting to see what that text is at the bottom left corner when i get it. Also, do pirates usually have labels on the back?

FDS Bubble Bobble as a cart is probably more common than we think. I bet most people who own pirated carts of it just don't know how to tell the difference. But, who knows, I may have just gotten very lucky, considering this is the first Bubble Bobble pirate I've ever purchased. Samurai Spirits and Doki Doki Panic are two disk-exclusives that were ported; and there have to be others.
I'll work on some quick reviews of these games. That Harry Potter game is neat. The levels are very short. It can probably be beaten in 15 minutes with a little bit of practice. And because the levels are short, I'm convinced it's an original, not a hack -- but it's never certain until other people have a look at it. Lion King is very similar to those other games, you're right. MK has blood splatter but no fatalities. I've never come across a version of MK that has them. And the Sonic looks like the one you posted. There seem to be more variations of Sonic than I thought.

you mean a conversion of the SNK gam right? not the Sachen game?
in any case if it is a port of the SNK game then it must certainly be unlicenced.
and thanks for answering my quetions.

I used to buy every pirate lot I came across, and then, like you, I got tired of getting the same games. This is especially true of multicarts...so boring after a while, unless you find some weird hacks on them, which is tough to do. I've gotten much more selective about the pirates I buy, only looking for the ones I'm really interested in, but my "wants" list is getting short.

So, is the only difference (other than the title screen) the colors? It kinda reminds me of that one early SMB by Hudson.

Nice so far. :) I'd wonder if you play or just collect. I know a while back it was a little bit of both. If you're in it to play, find one of our best games threads in the Famicom/FDS board. If in it to collect, well, whatever strikes your fancy, I guess.

Don't forget that just because a cart says there are specific games on it, it doesn't make it true. I have a multi with frogger on the front, but the actual game is of that frog from hello kitty. :P

I had one of those. Back in 2001 a friend was cleaning his closet and found an old 386 and two Famiclones. He gave them to me, one was a NEX-like and the other was this one. Both were burned out, but I could salvage the built in games from the Genesis-like Famiclone ;D. One weird thing about it was that it had a sticker on the bottom that said 'This unit only broadcasts on Channel 12' when all Famiclones I've ever seen broadcast on channel 3!
Needless to say, people around here tend to fry their Famiclones with incompatible power supplies >:(

Well the box was in Spanish (apparently some kind of localization), and surprisingly, it was pretty good :P.
As for the built in games... Some Famiclones have their built in games in an auxiliary board, plugged into a secondary cart slot inside the system. If that's the case the only thing you need to do is remove the board and there you have it. I managed to salvage lots of good multicarts that way, with a large number of games and rare hacks/pirate originals. My next step is usually to transplant them into a crappy multicart shell for protection and ease of use. I've mentioned this here before, with some forum members having the same degree of success as me ;).

Feels extremely light,
It's just a famicom on a chip, no built in games that I know of, yet. I haven't tested it out yet, because I dont know if the power thing will work in America. :P
Also, They gave me a weird rubik's cube, for some reason.

Your not raining at all, I said it was alright I'm not going to go crazy if its not the best. It is kinda special though because the refer to a Donkey Kong game as Key Kong.

There is no proof that is what happened. Even if that were the case, the seller probably won't give you a new one because as stated, there is no proof you didn't do something to it. By all means try though I suppose.

What do you mean it just died?
did it just not show up on the screen, or did it turn off? Did you hear any noise, like popping?
Try wrapping towels around it, then carefully plugging each thing back into it.

Yeah. I was at my friends house, he got the red things, and I told him to wrap towels around it.
He thought I was kidding, but he did it anyway.
I was surprised that it worked. :P

Solder, Electrical tape, ten heat shrink tube.
Put the tube on the wire and slide it down, so it's out of the way. Once it's soldered and electrical taped, slide the tube over it and heat it up. :P

I played the demo on Smash Bros and it seems pretty good.
I have the disk, but I need a new belt. :(
Anyone have an extra? :P

It's an awesome game. I like it when pit gets hit you hear a real voice...so advanced for its time. What a great game! I really recommend it! Oh yeah if anybody has an extra belt as well I could be interested. I heard they break easily.

found a power joy voyager at a yard sale. It's one of those "250 in one" tetris games and a famiclone in one. The power switch has 3 spots, one for off, one for tetris, and one for famiclone. The famiclone is tv out only (rca plugs on the top). The screen is black and white only and plays just like all those other 250 in one tetris games. The controllers are tied to one another and the player 2 controller has a light gun built in which works suprisingly well. Player 1 can use either a controller or the "gameboy thing" (so you don't have to bring the controllers for 1 player play). The famiclone cart is about an 80 in one with no repeats. The cart is the size of a gameboy cart which is pretty weird for a famiclone. Anybody have any more games for one of these? Oh, and it takes 4 triple-a batteries or wall wart.

I don't know why I've been finding famiclones lately at yard sales and thrift stores. I'm in the middle of nowhere Alaska. I have no idea where these people got them. Most of the people don't seem to be heavy videogamers...

Today, I got a famiclone, like the one popi got. From the same person.
The system itself is slightly different, it says "Super Megason" Instead of "Super Famcom"
The fronts of the controllers say famcom, the backs say megason
It has exactly 42 games built in, they are pretty good
The only problem is that The AC adaptor uses 220V, and it got smashed somehow.

There is a yellow thing that plugs into the cart slot, so you can plugin normal sized famicom games.

DAMN.
Just got a message from seller.
When they were little, they swapped cartridges with a friend, and they got Super Mario Bros.
They hadn't opened this before the auction, so they didn't know.
But, it has the Box, Manual, and that Clear thing for Antarctic adventure, that's pretty good I guess.
Just wondering, about how much is Antarctic Adventure worth?
I played it on a multicart, and it is pretty fun.

I just got a mario hack pirate. The cart comes with Super Mario 2,3,6,9,10,14,and 16. The hacks are OK but it's fun to have Mario 2 and 3 in one cart so I don't have to switch them off every time I want to play them.

I've seen pirates like that, but I didn't know they had that many SM games on them. That's cool. 10, 14 and 16 seem really common. I wonder why...perhaps they were the most popular. I've had trouble finding some of the Mario hacks.

I don't know, 133. I've never seen the Famiclone. I'm excited to see what songs it's got on it. Here are some shots:

I think it's the cart version of these things:
(http://www.handhelditems.com/images/games/TV-MAT.jpg)
http://www.handhelditems.com/plug-play-with-power-adapter-p-4590.html
Here's a video where you can barely see a guy playing one of those http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-w8eNoFMklU
You can clearly hear the Famicom-like music coming from it.
Basically they're Famiclones with no cart & controller ports. They have this Dance Dance Revolution ROM hardwired into the NOAC and the dance pad hardwired as controller 1, everything inside the small plastic shell on the top of the mat. Some of them even come with a pirated version of Nintendo's Pinball, which you play with your feet :P. I see these things every day for 10 bucks at local supermarkets.
So what you got here is the standalone ROM cart version of these pieces of crap. Nice! ;D

That's curious...I wonder how it'll substitute for the Dance Pad (looks like it'll use the d-pad) and if it'll be decent, since you say the pad version sucks. I guess very few pirate originals are good, so this one probably doesn't have much of a fighting chance.

The dance pad is electrically a Famicom controller hardwired into the clone, with the step arrows mapped to the D-pad directions, so in your cart version you'll end up using the D-pad to play. I say it sucks because it's a flimsy piece of hardware like most Famiclones, not because of the software. You'll have to find that out yourself ;).
So basically your cart is the ROM from one of these machines.

You can buy a legit third-party foot controller for the NES. It's got four or five foot peddles that you use to play any game. I've never tried it, but I've always been interested in buying one. I hear it's tough.

When they were little, they swapped cartridges with a friend, and they got Super Mario Bros.
I just got it today, It's actually the Pulse Line label Arcade Mario Bros.
Is that worth any amount of money, I really don't like that game.

I've bought a few boxed Famicom games recently, the first one, Guardic Gaiden (AKA The Guardian Legend) just turned up yesterday:
(http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/1018/guardicgaidenboxen4.jpg)
As you can see from this second image it's complete with the... whatever it is, that looks like a small poster. It feels kind of felty but it's stiff to the touch. I think it's supposed to be an iron-on t-shirt transfer or something.
(http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/2884/guardicgaidencontentsdz3.th.jpg) (http://img266.imageshack.us/my.php?image=guardicgaidencontentsdz3.jpg)
It's a really nice game although I can see the passwords being a problem as they're over 30 chars long and all in Japanese rather than roman letters and numbers ??? I'll probably devise a number system for the characters and write them down as numbers.

I brought it to my job the other day to have all the customers awe in front of it wanting to play. I was talking to my boss about trying to make money out of this lol. The TV overthere is not doing anything anyways.

Yeah, I wanted to make some pay-to-play NES system ages ago, I was thinking on rigging the START button to the coin mech, but that would invalidate multicart selections since you'd need to press START twice, but then you could devise a way to let a coin make two START button presses with some logic circuits.
The time idea is also good & easier too. Just use a 555 timer in monostable mode driving a relay, this relay could turn off the entire machine or just the +5V to the controllers rendering them dead until a new quarter has been inserted, and a second 555 could count 10 or 15 seconds before resetting the system in the case the player doesn't want to play anymore. Also you could devise a way to push START before killing the controllers, as a courtesy to the player (imagine if your controller dies in the middle of a game!).
Interesting idea ;D In fact I could sketch up some circuits if there's enough interest.

I also got my first Super Famicom boxed game and it's a pirate lol. The games that came with it are Mario World, Smash TV, Gradius 3, and Super Tennis. I like Gradius 3 the most! Great stuff!

I had some back in the day. Most of them looked like SFC carts and they didn't need to piggyback on some original cart's CIC chip like Noah's Ark 3D. The majority had no menu (push reset to change the game). Only one that I remember had a pretty bland menu, and it had games that required battery back-up & no battery on the cart itself. That sucks >:(

I love my Twin Famicom, too. I play disks almost every day and haven't had a problem yet. The stand-alone disk systems seem like they'd be more prone to breaking. Shit, since I said that, my belt's probably gonna snap... :P

I'm a tech, so I actually don't mind if it's not working... as long as it's fixable. Then perhaps I can practice and offer FDS fixing as a service :)

I'd put it somewhere between less than great but better than boring. It's thoroughly entertaining. Great enemies, great graphics. The Mario hack never engaged me for very long, but I think the original will be more pleasing.

hehe, JC! They do pop up on auction sites sometimes, but when they do, they get to be expensive. Generally $30-$100 a piece with some going for even more than that.
Your most common ones are SMB2j, Zelda, Metroid and Disk-kun as they were packaged with the FDS as well.

Disks are untested and some titles don't contain the game that's on the cover the seller wrote.
But still that's a great price I guess.

Yeah, the dude has about 10 lots on YHJ totaling over 500 disks, both very loose and CIB. He had that warning on all of them, and some of the other auctions has just disks without labels, sleeves, etc. I figure he just wrote that on all of them to cover his ass. I'll find out shortly.

Of course, I found out the shipping cost today. I'm gonna do SAL because I'm cheap, but any other option and I'd have paid $2 per disk, instead of about $1.50. And I'll be selling an FDS or two sometime in the near future. I've got five CIB now, I think.

I found this wierd multicart at the flea market. I found it laying on top of a 3DO and asked the guy running the stand how much? He asked me what system it was for because he didn't know. Now obviously if I told him he would jack up the price so I dumbly said "No idea". He gave it to me for 2 bucks. You may think it was a maybe an ok find, but the fact that I found it where I found it was amazing. For some reason my flea market doesn't ever have any pirates so this was very rare to find there. I was estatic when I found this.
It's very interesting though. It has hacks similar to Pandamar but with F-1 race being "Boat race" and etc. I'll post pics tomorrow.
I also saw a Mega Drive game there too, must of been import day or something. :)

I'm excited to be getting a bunch of carts from Taiwan! While there's a bunch of pirate crap in Taiwan, there are also a bunch of unlicensed originals and hacks. Taiwain happens to be home to Sachen, Hwang Shinwei and many others...
I don't buy to sell; I buy to keep, but sometimes I get extras in bulk buys, so I'll be selling some of what I get.
1945
Altered Beast
BB Car
Bio Miracle hack with Shin Chan
Doki Doki Panic (cart version) x2
Donkey Kong (some hacked game)
Dragon Ball Z 2
Education Fun Game (has PC program clones)
Fatal Fury 2
Fighting Hero
Mahjong Academy
Master Fighter II
Panda Prince
Pyramid
Street Fighter III x2
Street Fighter Zero 2
Super Bros. 6, 9, 13, 16
SMB2j cart (unhacked!)
Super Mario Sonik 2
Super Mario World
Tetris Series (Hwang Shinwei multi)
Thunderbolt II
and two games with no discernable name. Should be fun to play through these. I'll be excited to get Doki Doki Panic, which, even though I have on disk, I've never played. :-[ I'm very curious about Altered Beast, Panda Prince, Thunderbolt II and an unknown boxed game I'm getting (which will probably turn out to be some crappy Chinese RPG.

Got my carts from Taiwan. I was most anticipating my two Doki Doki Panic carts -- and now that I've played both, I can confirm that, yes, they are Doki Doki Panic...not some crappy Super Mario USA hack. Really cool. I've never played the disk version, even though I own it. But the carts have all the Doki Doki Panic characters, no running, the crappy slot machine game with just a plain screen, etc.
Oh, and the unknown boxed game I got is Pao Ching Tien.

Doki Doki Panic carts?! :o :o :o
Pics please!!!
I'd also love to see pictures of the cart board, I'm curious to see if the pirates used the same approach to port disk games to cart as used with the common SMB2j pirates, but I don't want to push you. If you don't feel comfortable with opening up your Famicom carts, I understand :).

Haha, I was just talking with michaelthegreat about whether or not to open the carts. I don't feel like I should because they're the classic Nintendo-style carts, not cheap plastic pirate carts. But I'm curious to see the boards, too. I have one of the original unhacked SMB2j pirates with the really large board that makes the cart look like a mini NES cartridge -- these carts are nearly that big, but one of them feels much heavier than the other.
I'll post pics here later.

The General Label was placed over another label; you can see the pink at the top. I've seen other carts with this General Label, but they don't always have Doki Doki on them. And Whirlwind Manu. must be the company responsible for the cart; I've seen that name on a lot of older pirates.

Cool, I have a cart just like that, with the same artwork placement and fonts. Only difference is that the case is blue. And I literally only have the cart.
I bought mine sometime around '94 from a thrift store along with various other cheap carts for obsolete systems, solely because I wanted to see what was in them. Even as a kid I knew about the SMB2/DDP story and I just [/i]had[/i] to take it apart. A year or so later I lost the PCB in a spring cleaning and I'm still kicking myself for it to this day. From what I remember it used classic ROM chips, no lame gloptops; is that one the same way?

In a frail attempt to look for an "nes famicom pirate" on eBay, I was inadvertently redirected to "nes famicom" , which brought up many results, where I stumbled upon this:

Oddly, the starting price matched the BIN price, which I zealously accepted. Good price, is it not?

I am new around here! Really nice place to be here because I am a real Nintendo retro fan!
I would like to share the Disk System i bought a few weeks ago with you, a new one! It was quite expensive but worth every penny! 180 $ was my price, and as I read here on the forum, that's not too much for a new one :) pfiew, haha
Hope you enjoy it :)

I just got a bunch of new games, but haven't had time to pop any in my Famicom:
Videomation
Pro Wrestling (FDS to cart port)
F15 City War
Samurai Showdown II
Mario Fighter II
8 in 1 -- forget what's on it
Samurai Spirits -- the Rex version
Zanac (FDS to cart port)
Power Rangers 4 in 1
Darkwing Duck with Rockman hacked in
Caltron 6 in 1
The Jungle Book
Balloon Monster
Pyramid
7 in 1 -- all Mario hacks, including Somari and the rare Super Bros. 17
McMario
Yuu Yuu Hakusho
124 in 1 -- Aladdin, Pokemon Silver, King of Fighters '97
And a Game Genie, some Chinese RPGs and a dip-switch cart; I've been curious what the switches do. I'm sure a couple of these will be put up for sale.

I've finally had time to play through some of these games. I'm gonna have to rate Samurai Showdown III by Rex as having the most elegant intro I've seen. It's got these wonderful pink flower petals that fall from the top of the screen while it shows the Rex logo, a intro statement about samurai and the title screen. It's the same title screen from Sachen's Samurai Spirits. Does anyone know if Sachen's has these petals?
Also, I have no clue how to play any of the Chinese originals because of the language barrier. The dip switch cart is great fun. It leave me wondering which came first: dip switch multicarts, "reset" multicarts, or menu screen multicarts. I'd put them in that exact order. The Darkwing Duck/Rockman hack is notable for a nice title screen that calls the hack Rockman 5. Videomation, which is a MS Paint clone, is great fun; I wish we all had it so we could have art competitions. Balloon Monster is probably the best for its gameplay.
I've got a couple games I don't know much about, so I'll post screens at some point to inquire.

I just picked up a defective FDS from ebay. The powerboard was shot due to battery corrosion. However, there was a perfectly working 7206 drive in it. I tested it and it works. A 7206 drive allows doesn't have "write protection" so programs like Copy Master, Disk Hacker, and Disk Keeper work.

So, after what seems like forever, I finally have a Famicom! It's next to me right now. It... didn't come with any games though. So, this topic is, well, for recommendations. I'm already set on getting MOTHER, Challenger, and Atlantis no Nazo. There are others, but I'll worry about them for later. Any games that are good that I can put on hold? I don't mind text heavy RPGs (I actually want to get FFI&II), and I have no Disk System (yet), so don't recommend those as of now. You can also talk about games that never made it in the U.S., or the first time you got a Famicom.

My assumption would be that there's nothing within the device itself that discriminates between PAL and NTSC, but that the device only communicates with the lockout chip in the system and the lockout info in the cart. Now, since NTSC games are locked out of PAL systems and PAL games are locked out of NTSC systems, the device might discriminate between the different lockout versions.

That's correct, JC.
The game slot communicates the entire cart except for the lockout chip to the system, while the piggyback slot only communicates the lockout chip part of the cartridge to the system. In a nutshell, it allows you to 'swap' the lockout chip from a cartridge with another one from another cartridge.
To play NTSC games on your PAL console, plug a NTSC game into the game slot and a PAL game into the piggyback slot.
To play PAL games on your NTSC console, plug a PAL game into the game slot and a NTSC game into the piggyback slot.
But since it's so easy to leave a NES console region-free, I wouldn't bother doing all this. Just cut pin 4 and be happy :).
BTW JC, How's the quality of the ribbon cable on the HES Unidaptor? Is it sturdy enough like IDE cables? Hard to bend? etc.

Well, I guess the Unidaptor's only necessary if you intend to protect the integrity of the NES by not cutting the pin. I don't have the device yet, so I can't mess with it to find out what it does, etc. I'll let you know more soon, 133MHz.

Tap-tap mat (CIB) -- only $10 from Taiwan! (costs $30 from Japan)
Rocman X -- x2 (one for sale)
Time Diver Avenger
Shin-chan -- that one by Future Media
Akumajou Dracula -- FDS port (I missed an auction for AKII FDS port :()
Mali and Lugi Fighting
Fatal Fury Special -- I think; either that or Sonic and Knuckles; Taiwan auctions can be confusing
Werewolf 2 -- did Altered Beast have an official sequel?
AV Beautiful Girl Fighting (for sale, unless it has differences from what i've got)
9 game lot -- a few originals (will sell pirates of licensed games)
Street Fighter II -- I hope it's the real thing and not one of the many hacks
Mario Pizza Pop!
7 in 1 -- with Somari and 6 Mario hacks (for sale, I think)
And then I'll be getting about 4 or 5 of the Chinese original RPGs.

Yeah it's gonna be my second buy from him (first time being my square buttoned famicom). I look from time to time at his auctions and he really sells great things. :)

I just came from the flea market and found some good stuff. Too lazy to take photo of famicom cart only...
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00047.jpg)
The cart is pretty awesome since it brings no repeats in it! Some of the games it came with are Dr.Mario, Super Contra, Super Mario 3, Jungle Book, Tetris 2, Castlevania, and much much more!

I don't know what it's worth and it'd be nice to make some money to pay for all these carts I've bought.

Also, Double Dragon IV?
And is Arumana no Kiseki the FDS game? I'd seriously like to get a (pirate) cart of that.

The Arumana no Kiseki is a disk, but carts exist, too. I've been wanting to pick one up, but they seems to be less common then Doki carts. I have no clue what DDIV will turn out to be, but I should get the carts within a week and I'll let you know. Doki is exactly like the disk, only no save or password, which makes sense, though they had enough skill to port it from disk, which it seems no one has tried otherwise.

I have this "Double Dragon IV" cart, but it's slightly different from the one in the video (look at the title screen):

That's right, and it applies to many other products as well (not only electronics). I think most of us must have seen "SONI" headphones and stuff like that somewhere... or even ugly engrish text in bootlegs that would otherwise look almost identical to the original thing, even when sometimes they copy the exact brand's name... I once saw a "Nike" (bootleg, but the same name) sports wristwatch with "Michael Jordon" written in it!!!

Namco Family Circuit

I noticed that even though the Family Circuit label said Namco...the cart says Namcot...what does this mean?
Also, these need to be cleaned a little...so what would be the best way to do so?

If using water, be sure to dry it off thoroughly and quickly since it can corrode the contacts and leave salt deposits in them.
Isopropyl alcohol is the best option, a bottle of the stuff is about a dollar at your favorite electronics store. If not available, rubbing alcohol's good too.

Try to clean as much as you can. Alcohol dries quickly and doesn't leave any residue on the pins so don't worry ;).

I think Rogles got the idea...
He said to clean the sides...so should I clean the bottom of the board that's sticking out the bottom too? Or should I just get the sides?

Names don't really have a meaning. Maybe in a poetic sense...
If there were more kana following it, I'd still guess it were a name.

Well, there were some official pulse line releases outside of Japan, where the game itself was developed in Japan and it was assembled somewhere else, I'd assume since the labels don't say "Made in Japan" on them like the Japan pulse lines. Other than that, the onle games that didn't make it to Japan were unlicensed or pirated.

Um... I hit it with a hammer. I hit it on the back,(I didn't think it was a working cart) and the side tabs opened or whatever. After that I could just pull it apart. It's still in pretty good condition(like tiny cracks where the tabs are).

Actually, if you're not worried about the state of the tabs a method that always works is to force slide coins into the gaps at the botom, then get some cloth over your hands, grab the sides and pull apart (near the contacts) with raw man powa! The cloth will keep your hands from getting cut if you don't like the sight of blood for whatever reason.

3D World Runner in 3D Mode :D I just thought it looked cool..it looks like the guy is running super fast ;D
You should get the 3D goggles for that 3D mode. ;)
Then you can get all the other games for them. :)
3d world runner didn't use Nintendo's 3D system goggles, it just used Squares 3D sunglasses. I believe it was the only game to use Squares 3D sunglasses too.

Oh, right. I was thinking of JJ. You should still get the 3d goggles, though!

Wouldn't they still work though? I guess I'm not exactly sure what the goggles do..I just thought you plugged them in to the Famicom, turned them on, and played in 3D..
Please tell me..
But I am planning to get 3D Hot Rally from Famicomshop in the future. :)
English link to JJ please?

Check out the link in Turbo D's post. Here's the full name of JJ; I don't think it was released for the NES, but I could be incorrect:
Jumpin' Jack: Tobidase Daisakusen Part II
They don't work right with 3d Worldrunner because of the way the game displays.
Basically, you plug in the goggles into the front of the Famicom or side of the Twin Famicom and press select once the game is ready to play and you have the goggles on. Pretty easy. :P

Also..what exactly would the 3D goggles display inside..?
How would it be different from just wearing 3D glasses and staring at a TV?

The lcd shutters inside the goggles shift from left to right blocking out one eye's vision at a time to coincide with the image displayed on the tv. The color stays the same, unlike the blue/red shift in 3d glasses games. So, it looks like it's in 3d. I have 2 pair so a friend can watch or play while wearing the 3d goggles, too.

That's crazy awesome! It actually stays the same color, which is cool, but you could still technically use these in any game, even if it wasn't made for them? Have you ever tried this? And the fact that you have two makes me feel I should take one of them :P
I do know where I can get one CIB for an awesome price..but I have no money right now..
Also, WANT LIST UPDATED

You only get the 3D effect with the games listed in the thread. There is no effect with other games. I guess you could still wear them if you want, though. And, sorry, I want both pairs that I have. 8)

The Famicom 3D head goggles thing had llike blinking off to on LCD things, so you could only see a part of the screen blinking in each eye.
Where did you get all of this money.

Er, so I'm not gonna get the Rockman 6-1 I mentioned earlier, for those who expressed an interest in buying it. :'(
I will, however, be getting these, I think:
Brush Roller
Kid Icarus -- hoping it's an FDS port
Puzzle
Super Lion King 2
Master Fighter VI -- and I plan to sell my boxed MFVI
Street Fighter X Turbo -- which I hadn't heard of until now
Yuu Yuu Hakusho 97 V -- probably a dumb title screen hack
And a lot with 5 extras I'll be selling
I'm still not supposed to be buying stuff -- saving for the trip -- but I couldn't pass up some of the rarer ones, like Puzzle and Kid Icarus (if that turns out to be the port).

Blatant PM sent!
It works differently because each eye display has it's own signal, so far as I know. So, that's how each eye works in real life - combine the two and you have the illusion of 3D.
That's how I understand it, but I've never actually used mine! So, I could be wrong but the theory is bang on.

It's Super mario Bros.
But with the switch to the left (wehn I remember right), the graphics show an unusual glitch that's hard to explain. From the left side of the screen graphics from the far right are shown... I think I should take a video of that. This way Mario can stand in mid-air and can seemingly jump through blocks. It's weird, but interesting.
The label is beautiful, it shines greenish when held into a light source. :D
What could this one be worth?
Has anybody seen something like that before?

Also, got Stack-Up in a pawn shop today..it feels heavy, has 5 screws...and well...it's Stack-Up...
Can I just smash this thing open? So I can take it's delicious Famicom converting fruits, because I don't have the fancy screwdriver...or is there another less-violent way?

Ehh...I may just pry it with a hammer or something..you know? With the not-blunt side of the hammer
EDIT: Got it open..I sawed off the top hollow part first..but then I unscrewed the other 3 screws with a flathead.. the screws look tiny to me...but if I could get it open with just a regular flathead, apparently that means they've been replaced...

First of all the early NES games used normal flat screws, you didn't need to saw anything.
Using the converter to play Famicom games is really easy. All you have to do is break the tabs off the sides, these were used to secure the converter to the cart shell. I used set of lock pliers but just about anything will break those things off. Once you get those off take the Stack Up board out and replace with a Famicom cart. The cart has to be backwords just like the Stack Up board. Insert into your NES and play.

You don't have to break the tabs off, you can just flip the converter upside down. No need to damage it. ;)

Quote from: ericj on February 04, 2009, 03:36:33 pmI tried putting the converter on the other side of the black box..and it doesn't go in right..Quote from: son_ov_hades on February 04, 2009, 03:34:06 pm
All you have to do is break the tabs off the sides, these were used to secure the converter to the cart shell. I used set of lock pliers but just about anything will break those things off.
You don't have to break the tabs off, you can just flip the converter upside down. No need to damage it. ;)

Yes, you could try flipping the converter over and not breaking the tabs though.

I think the Mahjong you mean is Mahjong Solitaire, a game where you have to match 2 identical looking tiles.
The real Chinese Mahjong is played by 4 players.

Damn nice, very good game, built on the same engine as Solbrain/Shatterhand. It's a bit short and easy though and the boss fights suck.
I wish I had a real copy of it, I only played it as a rom.

I may be thinking of another auction, but I've seen it go for cheap.

That seems like the most likely explanation, customs tends to open up packages that look weird or look suspicious during an X-ray.
All of my games I imported from Japan have Canadian stamp marks on them, so maybe companies send things to Canada and then to the USA in order to bypass them doing that.

I don't know about the USA, but in Germany customs will put a sticker on the parcel stating that the packet was opened for investigation.
I guess the handling was just very rough, which is a shame.
But I'm glad you got it somewhat safely. :D
Now gotta look for my post in the feedback thread and add a nice positive for Geoff. :)

Does it have controller ports? Or is there just some wireless controller with it?

Hey Geoff
Get some 10-15% hydrogen peroxide, Oxy-Clean laundry booster, a rubbermaid bin, some sunlight and return the original whiteness to your Famicom! ;D:P
I'm dying to try that method on some of my systems. It doesn't damage stickers or painted logos, and it chemically restores the plastic to its original state!

I think the Penguin uses IR sensors and has one controller port.
One day there will be a Famiclone that's nothing but a pin slot, AV out, power cord, controller port, and power/reset button. The circuitry keeps getting smaller, the possibilities are endless.
The Retro Duo is the best clone available. That includes Famicom support with an adapter, it's one of only two systems that can actually run the Disk System, the other being the NEX.

I have a Famiclone whose circuit board is as big as four SIM cards. We're already there, it's just that Chinese pirates like to leave loads of empty space inside clones :P. Given current NoAC technology, I could probably cram an entire Famiclone inside half of a Famicom cart! :)

I have a crappy PolyStation clone (PSX lookalike) that works with the FDS. I know that some clones won't work with it (my keyboard clone being one of them) but it's not rare or unique to find a clone that does work.

Nintendo really wanted to get away from the Disk System by 1988, the system wasn't even on shelves within a year after Mario 3 was released in Japan.

SMB3 uses an expansion chip, which FDS games are incapable of using. If SMB3 were released on the FDS, it would have had to have been a much simpler game.

I bought from that rock lock before. Extremely loooong shipping times. I did get a good deal however and was pretty happy with the product. I had bought some pc engine control pads and a tap from him. They all worked, but they were dirty and the tap had an unmentioned gouge.

Here ya go...it actually seems to be cheaper to get stuff online than in person in these countries, for the most part. I didn't buy anything in Japan because all the games were too expensive, except Baseball, etc. (I'll post a few store/game pics later.) I bought two games in Korea, because I only wanted Korean exclusives, though I regret not buying Decathlon which is an unlicensed original import. And I bought about 10 games in Taiwan and a couple were thrown in for "free" -- crappy ones.
The Korean games were 5,000 won each, so about $3.50 each. I think one's Korean Igo (?) -- it's just Go. And the other is The General's Son, a fighter. The Chinese games were about $7 each. The same price I'd pay online. I ended up buying only games I couldn't find online. The two free games was pirated Jurassic Boy 2 by Sachen and Image Fight.

Probably right. I knew nothing about video game shops in Tokyo until I arrived and visited a few. They had stacks of games like Hitler no Fukkatsu; all the good games were like $25-40 (and therefore mostly cheaper online). At least Japan had game shops. Korea and Taiwan didn't, from what I saw. The place I got the games in Taiwan was an open air market, and it was just a stand set up in a side alley.

They're Chinese RPGs that steal bits and pieces from other games and use the same basic RPG engine. They're really subpar and impossible to play if you don't know Chinese. I've bought about 20 of these Chinese games and only found one that's not an RPG. I'll keep looking.

I've got some new stuff coming from Taiwan --
Time Diver Avenger -- whoever asked me to find this for them, please PM me about it.
World of Card Game
Super Bros. 4
Super Contra 5
Lethal Weapon
Super 4 in 1 (Sachen)
Bar 7
And a lot of 32 games. I bought it because I wanted one rare game in it, so the rest will be for sale, including a few SFC games.

Suppose I'll post the things I've purchased since I've been a part of this forum...got a couple more things taking forever in the mail as well (Kid Dracula and SMB1/2 on one disk). (Thanks to JC for Sexy Derby and madman for SWM and Somari ;)). EDIT: Having just finally played it, the funniest thing about Sexy Derby is that a girl actually strips out of the Super Pig Costume (really disturbing looking when everything is off, but the pig head :P--also the only character that becomes completely nude [though they still don't show much]).

Also got Commando & Adventure Island famicom box station carts. They work on a regular famicom with a nes to fc converter.

FB carts on average used to sell in the US for about $20 each. $25 isn't bad for those two, and $12 sounds like a steal.

I guess they won't work on a stock NES, due to the lockout chip differences. Maybe disabling the CIC would do the trick.

/\ Would that apply to an NES that has had the lockout pin removed? I removed it from mine back when I got Ufouria (PAL). I didn't even know about the famicom box carts until recently. They look really cool (mostly in reference to the black ones, though I know the grey ones are worth more).

I put one of them in my NES just to see if it would work. All I could see was the title screen then it would keep blinking on and off. But the carts do work on a famicom with a converter, I tried it and it plays perfectly.

Just arrived. Plays and looks more like Tiny Toons than any Castlevania game :P... even then, the multidirectional shooting and special shots is more like Holy Diver. Seems like a great game though (some parts are rather like Rock/Mega Man). However, I'm having an issue getting the game not to crash...the contacts look great, and I used electric contact cleaner on them after getting a gray screen at first, then the game came up garbled, then I decided to blow into it, and that made it work for a while, then it crashed..wouldn't come back on until being blown in again... Seems like the game should be fine--is there anything I can do to make the contact better without blowing, etc.? (may try it on the NES with a converter and game genie later).

Try rubbing the contacts with a q-tip dipped in contact cleaner or alcohol, just spraying them isn't enough.
Also check that the cart fits snugly inside the system and it doesn't move around.
If nothing works, there might be something loose inside the cart (cold solder joints).

That is what I did... Q-tip with contact cleaner...I clean everything with contact cleaner :P.... It cleans cartridges, labels, etc. without damaging or discoloring them, and gets sticker residue off instantly.

Kid Dracula works in the NES without any problems... weird as there are a few games I have that won't work in the NES, but work on the famicom with an adapter. However, can the NES not handle as much as the famicom? At the part where there are 4 platforms spinning on several wheels before riding on the monorail thing, the famicom played it without slowing down at all, but on the NES, whenever I jumped from wheel to wheel, the game would slow down and become a little bit choppy like when there are too many sprites on the screen. Any explanation? Or does going through an adapter and game genie have something to do with that?

It is GAL FORCE not GALL FORCE. Some places for whatever reason used to misprint the title. I'm a huge fan of the various animes, so please forgive my flashback to 1990s Japanimation Otaku Fanboi coming out in me. Katty FTW! Making me want to bust out all my old VHS tapes of that series. ***How does the game play BTW? It's one of those games along with Dirty Pair that I want but don't have an FDS system nor Famicom Twin.

You my friend are absolutely RIGHT. I never noticed the smaller "L" on my box covers. I always figured that was just a little thingy put there, sort of how I always use asterisks when wanting to emphasis a *word*, and sometimes the swiggly line ~when listing things. Never saw it as part of the title. I stand corrected sir. ;D

Hmm... thanks for the reply. Makes me want to track down an FDS and the game even more now. But right now I'm going to keep on with the SFC collecting. Never thought the day would come that I'd actually be liking it over my beloved Mega Drive, but I've just about had it with that system. Save Bare Knuckle 2 and a few other "can't live withouts".

Got these in the mail yesterday... SMB1 with SMB2 written on the back (with the SMB2 label...around 17 stars on the SMB2). And the 4 in 1 from Dante Vale, which is by far the cheapest quality pirate cart I own (extremely flimsy case with a very short glob-top board). Not that I was expecting anything better, though the games are interesting... Yet the Harry Potter game (not sure what it is a hack of) has got to be the most disturbing game I've played--for whatever reason, the music just seems really bizarre and hearing it while looking at what appears to be a naked harry potter humping a broomstick while the "broomstick" is flapping around is just...odd.

CIB, but loose, I don't think it's worth that...plus..how much was shipping?
Just to reference a lower cost loose cart to back up your statement...
$17 at Rising Stuff:

Not sure what they charge for shipping.

It's not rare rare. I got mine for 8 dollars a couple of years ago. It's a great pick up nonetheless.

Get the Twin Famicom, if you wait long enough, you'll find a better price for a CIB Salamander..I've seen them for cheaper than that...
Also, if I may ask, how much is the Twin?

As Dork said, that is a stupid price for CIB Salamander. I plan to get one CIB myself at some point. Unless they sold it, Rising stuff has one CIB for $19 or so (not sure what shipping is).
The Twin is a great system.

I'm paying £70 (I'm in the UK, buying from someone locally) including shipping, so that's about $100 at the current exchange rate. That's a lot fewer dollars than than this time last year when I first started getting into Famicom stuff, damned economic crisis :(
It's the red version with black cartridge slot and it's in excellent condition externally. The disc drive is almost certainly in need of a replacement belt though as the guy I'm buying from has only ever used carts. All part of the fun though I guess.

I'm glad you pointed that one out for me :). I've emailed to ask if it's complete as the listing just says 'boxed'.

I've just bought my first FDS game, and I couldn't have possibly picked better: it's a completely unused and sealed Zelda no Densetsu that even has the Disc-kun sticker over the top flap!

(http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/5543/db1b7699992.jpg)
I got this on eBay as a Buy-It-Now for $30. I know that's way above the usual price but hey, it is new and sealed. The listing says this game was found amongst liquidated stock from a Japanese toy shop that just closed down. It's been sitting in a warehouse or some such for 20+ years! It's amazing to think people are still finding things like this after all this time.

1,3 is Ai Senshi Nicol, which means 'Love Warrior Nicol'. It's a pretty good game by all accounts, there more info in this link (http://www.atarihq.com/tsr/fds/Nicol.html).
Green Beret is a really cool game BTW. It was released in the West under the slightly less politically correct moniker of "Rush 'n' Attack" :D

The Zelda no Densetsu is the sealed one I bought on eBay last week. The Twin Famicom, I bought from a private seller on another forum. There's a tiny bit of wear on the top left hand side of the case (looks almost like an abrasion of some sort?) but is in otherwise cracking condition. I was astonished to find that the disc drive actually works ;D I think it was a real bargain, not least because you practically never see these machines on sale in the UK. That's one advantage to this whole financial crisis thing - lots of people are skint and selling their good stuff cheap :)
The Mario 3 came with the Twin Fami and it still the best game ever :)

Yes, the other 2 games are Meijinsen & pachinko..
Interesting. So the pachinko game works with the specialized controller (by Coconuts Japan or something)?

/\ Perhaps it is just how the image was captured, but your Kaettekita Mario Bros. looks less glossy and more like a computer print out than mine. Is it just the photo, or is it different? And I suppose this game could have been written on any disk perhaps, so the number code may be insignificant.

I just got 4 of the filthiest games I've ever seen and spent a little while cleaning them up (though unfortunately someone put tape on SF2 that I didn't want to remove for fear of ripping the label off). Though they all work, and that is all that I as hoping for out of these.
I tried Recca for a minute and can instantly say it is amazing.
SMB4 is rather cool (I like the weird label art too). It would be interesting to know what it is worth as a SMB2J cart is worth a fair amount on its own, and this game is SMB2J, but when you get a mushroom you turn into SMB3 mario and when you get a star, you don't become invincible--instead, for the duration of the stage, you can swim in mid-air as if it were a water level (the regular star music plays during this). There are some other graphic changes, but I didn't play past the first few levels to know everything about it, nor did I get a fire flower to see what that looks like or does.
The Street Fighter games are fairly different from each other, but SF2 actually tries to look like the arcade game and has the same intro.

Awesome finds! I've never heard of such a crazy Mario hack before! :o
The 'window things' are EPROMs, reprogrammable chips. You can erase them by exposing their windows to UV light, like the Sun. Most of them come with a piece of sticky tape over the window to avoid accidental erasure. Also, those are very old EPROMs.
The 'two-tone cart' was probably caused by a price tag or some other kind of label partially obscuring one section of the plastic. The rest of the cart yellowed due to being exposed to the Sun, while the covered part did not.

BTW -- what's the title screen look like?

/\ Here are some shots. I also discovered now that you have fire power as regular big mario. And the fire flower seems to just change the suit color (though the color change didn't happen until I progressed to the next level). Last two shots are swimming with the star power (you can break through bricks by swimming up through them).

Thanks for the information--none of my other carts have the reprogrammable chips. That is a very cool feature I was unaware of. And I figured there was a sticker over a portion of the Recca cart, though the odd discoloration (in comparison to the light blue) seemed odd, as it is more of a green than aged yellowing (though I suppose yellow+blue=green).
And thanks to others for the compliments on the SMB4. Planet Haxxor referred to SMB4 as SMB1 with diffferent rules and glitches, which is no surpise as every game I got resulted in numerous black Q-Tips and paper towels (and a fair amount of contact cleaner). No doubt I am quite happy with what I found after a good cleaning.

It looked more like some version of Waluigi to me. And it is quite strange that JC got a Chip'n'Dale hack from the same cart and label.
EDIT: I've noticed some other changes as well now. The mushrooms and poison mushrooms have a different (somewhat better) graphic, and the ugly, bland background mushrooms have been changed into Toad's House from SMB3 (this can be seen in my last photo set). And the fire flower doesn't do anything but give you points, as you get fire power from a mushroom and will change into the fire suit if you beat a level as big mario without getting the flower. I also found that if you jump on an enemy while using the star swim that you will be launched out the top of the screen (similar to how the super springs bounce you in SMB2j). Thankfully if you jump the flag, the screen does not progress endlessly and trap you--it stops after the castle so you can't push the flag off the screen. (you can't just swim out the top of the screen, but once you are up there, you can swim to stay out of the screen as long as you like). I think the coin boxes look nicer in this version too despite the "4" on them... SMB2j boxes don't blend with the game as well.

Wow! That's a nice lot you have there! They're all pirate disks, which is cool. The one directly below Rockman 2 is Pro Wrestling. Which is a pretty fun wrestling game on the NES. 2,1 is Bio Miracle Bokkute Upa, which is a pretty weird, but extremely fun side-scroller. Those "disk-game game converter" games are interesting. From their looks, they're just dumped cart games.

The disk is (obviously) a pirate, which is exactly what I wanted! :D It has SMB on one side, and SMB2j on the other. In SMB, Mario runs double the speed he does in the normal game..which is awesome...can you say "New personal best for SMB?" ;D SMB2j was claimed to have Mario/Luigi run really slow...but I didn't notice a change. Maybe it's just me, but oh well. They're great! Again, it might be just me, but I think the colors in SM USA are more vivid than that of SMB2 on the NES. Either way, I recommend SMUSA, and this hack if you can get it. It's a nice change of pace (:P) from the original.

Wow, it looks cheesy, but I may consider getting it. I've never heard of it before, but apparently there was a sequel...huh. The more you know
EDIT** I guess it's not exactly a sequel. Sort of like MPTO--->PO w/ Mr. Dream, they just removed Mike's image and renamed him...to TOUGH GUY. That isn't cool at all. It's not really related to Punchout..

3D Hot Rally is sealed, which is nice. It's my second CIB disk, but my first sealed disk, and it's my first blue disk! I didn't know Disk Writer games were sealed....were they? And won't you look at the quality on that Adventure Island label? It's like it's straight out of a cheap photocopier! Amazing! These pictures were taken right when they came out of the packages, so now they're all nice and clean. And that sticker above the Rockman label is gone :D That thing was annoying.

It's not a Disk Writer game. The blue casing -- retail releases -- indicates a Disk Fax game. The DW games were usually written to blank disks in yellow casing, though you could use Side B of a disk with the blue casing. The DF games have blue casing and have the little dust cover over the hole where the disk is read by the FDS. The dust cover was added to protect the sensitive high score data from corruption or loss. You could take your blue disk into certain stores and have the high score on it "faxed" into Nintendo headquarters, maybe getting a prize when the high score competition ended.

A few games I bought last week finally came in last night and I received:
Rockman 3
Solstice
Fantasy Zone 2
All for a total of about $15/shipped. Still waiting on a bunch of disc system stuff I just ordered and on a Datach Joint ROM System [CIB].
edit: I'm envious of that boxed Rockman. Still haven't gotten any of those complete (but may have to start collecting them as I like the artwork).

The only ones I have any problem beating are Mr. Sandman and of course Mike Tyson. I don't recall having as much problem with Sandman as a kid, but it took me several tries to beat him the last time I played through the game (I couldn't beat Tyson the last time, but may have been able to when I was a kid).

Once you figure out the pattern or what times you can get certain punches in, then all of the opponents are a breeze...except for Tyson--he is considerably harder than anyone else.

He was always easy, but he pisses me off just standing there & taunting until I punch him several times. It usually takes me 2 rounds to kick his ass.

It plugs into the Famicom unit and plays little mini half sized carts. There are cards that you can scan in that can give you power boosts and stuff. No real interest in playing it but it's cool looking and adds something to my collection. :D

RockBoard is sooo much fun, you'd be amazed! The language barrier is not bad at all. RockBoard is a pretty straight forward game of monopoly, except you're rockman characters. If you enjoy both Rockman and monopoly, then RockBoard is definitely for you. 8)

Well, my birthday is a month and a halfish away and my parents already ordered my gift from Japan Game Stock... the big EMS box with japanese characters and a return address from Osaka might have gave it away.
Now dad didn't open it so I can't say everything that's in there yet but I have a good idea of one thing that's in there. I've been waiting a couple of years to get my hands on since I heard about it... A FAMICOM DISK SYSTEM boxed with manual.
As soon as dad opens it and I can see what's inside, I'll post what else is in there because I forget what else I asked for.

It seems to be in complete in box with manual Famicom Disk System
Baloon Fight boxed
Popeye loose
Mario Bros. loose
for the disk games with manual:
Super Mario Bros. 2
Legend of Zelda 1 and 2
and then Santa Claus no Treasure box just the disk.
Now all I have to do is wait for July 27th (unless I get it a some birthday party that weekend before) until I get to play them and make sure everything works.

Pokemon Blue (hack)
Pokemon Red (hack)
Pokemon Green (hack)
Pokemon Silver (hack)
Pokemon Yellow (hack)
Super Bros. 9 (hack)
Contra 6 (hack)
Big TV Mary Bar -- I think it's a hack of a Bit Corp. game
PC multicart with a bunch of PC stuff
MKII Special -- x2 I think. Can't get one to work
Poker III (Sachen)
Contra 7 -- appears to be Super C
Overall a decent lot. A few didn't turn out to be what I expected, and I'm disappointed one cart doesn't work at all.

It's a hack of the above-named game.
JC has it on one of the multicarts he has for sale:

Nice stuff. I got a few carts today:
Pocket Monster
Pokemon 2 (hack)
Pokemon Blue (hack)
Pokemon Red (hack)
Pokemon Green (hack)
Pokemon Silver (hack)
Pokemon Yellow (hack)
Super Bros. 9 (hack)
Contra 6 (hack)
Big TV Mary Bar -- I think it's a hack of a Bit Corp. game
PC multicart with a bunch of PC stuff
MKII Special -- x2 I think. Can't get one to work
Poker III (Sachen)
Contra 7 -- appears to be Super C
Overall a decent lot. A few didn't turn out to be what I expected, and I'm disappointed one cart doesn't work at all.
My Pokemon multicart has
Pocket Monster and Pokemon Green,
and I still love that game!

Here's what I got in the mail two days ago from Carl:
(http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp320/nintendodork1/SDC10306-1.jpg)
Another Pulse Line, woohoo! I replaced both pads in the controller. The D-pad is still a little loose, so I'm going to look for tighter controllers in the future.
For anyone who hasn't seen the inside of a NES/Famicom controller, here's a pic I took when I was swapping pads:
(http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp320/nintendodork1/SDC10280-1.jpg)
The one on the left is a NES controller board, and the one on the right is, obviously, the Hori Turbo controller.

Yup. The pads are all the same, the thing I thought was weird was that the D-pad on the Hori controller is sort of curved upwards, while the NES D-pad is more balanced. The Hori controller board is also more complicated than the NES one :P

Because it's a turbo controller :P. The extra chips you see contain NOT gates which in conjunction with some discrete components form a crude ring oscillator, and those oscillations are used to 'push' the buttons repeatedly in turbo mode.

I don't feel like opening it again, but I saw these little silver things on the bottom of the turbo buttons. They looked like they hooked into the board or something, but I couldn't get them to go in it. It didn't matter though, because the controller worked without them being in anything. What would they be used for?
EDIT* Also, how come some games don't work with the turbo controller? Is it because they don't look for anything in the expansion port? SMB doesn't do anything when I turn on the A turbo, but it lets me use B turbo.

The small silver springy pieces of metal beneath the turbo sliders make electrical contact with the board and bridge different traces depending on the slider's position (electronically they swap different resistor/capacitor values to alter the ring oscillator's frequency). It's a common problem for them to lose their springiness and make intermittent contact, or become clogged with dirt and crud.
If you don't put them in their places (or put them backwards etc), you lose the turbo functions. Plain and simple.
As for it not working on some games, it either works perfectly or it doesn't work at all (multicart menus seem to be the worst offenders with expansion port controllers).

Then I tried pressing A without turbo, and I jumped normally, but then, when I turned on A button turbo and pressed A, nothing happened at all. I even tried adjusting the turbo switch to various speeds. I wonder what's causing that..

I bet that you placed the silver springy thing for the A button backwards or something like that. Try another game first before taking the controller apart.

I just tried Adventure Island, and it didn't work when I turned the turbo on, but if I held the turbo switch all the way to the left with my finger, I could jump as if I didn't have turbo on. But if I don't hold it back, then it doesn't do anything. So I guess I'll turn the switch around.
EDIT* Opened it up, and they were both facing the right way >:( B button works just fine, and the A button is skittish when not using turbo, and when I try using turbo, it does nothing >:(

Okay. So I stumbled in my random collection of 2 games. Super Mario Bros 2 and another that looks like Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa. The cartridges look NOTHING like originals and I am thinking they are in English. The SMB2 cart says LF36 in the top left corner, CASSETTE under that and FAMILYCOMPUTER above the picture on the label. However, the back is in full Japanese. The Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa copy says TV GAME CARTRIDGE to the right of the game label and there is Japanese on the rest of the front, and on the back it says: CASSETTE; REMARKS: *Since this is a sophisticated apparatus, should avoid to operate or to store under extreme temperature, also avoid violent bumps is necessary; moreover, never disassemble it. *The reasons causing defauts are: Touching the end field by hands, or cleaning by wet materials. And to the left of that it says QUALITY GUARANTY and to the left of that it says "The unique manufacturer adopting high class IC and processed by not oxidized gold plate on the apparatus, to protect protect your IPU" (I know i put protect twice, it has it on there twice.
Please get back to me about these cause I cannot find ANYTHING about them ANYWHERE!
Thank you very much!

If you remember a couple threads back, my birthday present has arrived. I am not going touch anything FDS related until my birthday. That being said, he already brose off the bubble rap around the games (but not the system). I have opened and showed my friends the Legend of Zelda disk and manual.... I HAVE STICKERS!
I feel bad looking back but I "tested" the famicom carts: Popeye, Mario Bros., and Baloon Fight. All of them work, I just wanted to make sure because popeye and mario bros were sent loose. Baloon fight came in box even with the plastic case around it with manual.
I am nervous about my disk games. They could very well be completely different games. For all I know, the Zelda disk could have wrecking crew. I'm sure it'll be fine, and I can't wait till I get to set up that beast.

I will try and pick up a famiclone either tomorrow or on Monday so check the games out. I'm bored out of my mind when I don't go out. lol....anyways, I'll keep you guys posted!

FamicomFreak just told me that Super Brothers Mario 13 is a character hack of Whomp 'Em. I just tried the game, and it's pretty fun!
I also just bought this from ericj:

I've got the Sachens all boxed up at the moment, FamicomFreak. I'll pull them out someday. I finally checked, and yes, I have all of the Sachen multis, which is pretty exciting.

It's kinda like Aladdin II, Boogerman, DK4, Jungle Book 2 -- all similar engines. I like them all. Popeye 2 is tough, at least in my first few plays.

Actually, now that I remember your article, I think it's the same game, only with rearranged levels and Popeye, but I'd need to play it more to find out. The first level in Popeye is like the third screenshot: http://www.famicomworld.com/Workshop/Aladdin_Hack.htm

That's one nice pirate. Looks almost like an official game.
If they're neatly boxed like this one I could be interested in pirates after all. :)

Got a nice boxed Famicom.

Not really sure why they came up with the name Lambo, LAMBO?!?! maybe they meant Rambo and cocked it up Engrish style.
Romeo aint too bad, but Lambo? That makes me proud to own this cart :D
Oddly, the SMB1 game has the graphic swap that's sometimes seen on fake SMB2J carts. Looking at the titles, it almost looks as if the Romeo and Lambo are on SMB1 but hey, I didn't decide this nonsense!

Good Question, I haven't the slightest idea about the 82in1; I will be surprised when it arrives.
4in1 has Double Dragon 2 prototype, Double Dragon 3, Double Dragon 4 and SD Fighter (which I have no idea what SD Fighter is, the picture is of Law from Tekken)
The other 4in1 has Shudu (Havent any idea what it is), Road Fighter, Tetris and Tank

This cheap 3 in 1.
(http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/5483/dsc00268k.jpg)
I got it new/wrapped though, which is nice.
The cartridge is really small so it wobbles around in my system making it hard to play without corrupting the game. :(

I wandered into one of the local shops today and they had a newly arrived pile of Famicom carts that they were selling cheap and I got to be one of the first people to sift through them. This just totally made my day. I picked up three awesome classic games that I've been searching for months for:
Empire Strikes Back
Takahashi Meijin no Bouken Shima
Donkey Kong
I'm going to have fun tonight!

Good news & bad news:
Okay, the good news - I found several NES games at a Salvation Army store, $1.00 ea. including:
-3D WorldRunner
-10-Yard Fight
-Gotcha!
-Soccer
-Tennis
-Top Gun
-ExciteBike
-Iron Tank
-Pro Wrestling
-Rad Racer
-R.C. Pro Am
-Tiger Heli
-Track & Field II
Even better! There happened to be a half-off sale that day, so I bought them all for $0.50 each. And most of these are doubles, except for Iron Tank, so I'll be selling or trading them.
Now the bad news - I lost a pair of $200 prescription Spy sunglasses at the same thrift store. :(

You mean a proto or a pirate of the proto? It amazes me that the proto ROM ended up on a pirate btw. The only other occasion of that happening I can think of is Time Diver.

JC said "That's really awesome. I've never heard of a proto ROM ending up on pirate carts. I think it's likely that the piraters got ahold of a sample cart by being sneaky and pretending to be gamer magazine reporters. That's awesome. --JC"

My games came in today...
Okay.
I was suprised to find out that the 4 in 1 with the prototype also has the game Mighty Final Fight
The 82in1 cart only has 5 games repeated over and over, but it does have Tengen Tetris so thats always cool. It has 37 copies of Mario, 10 of zippy race, 4 of road fighter, 8 tetris and 17 jewelry and 6 Galaga.
and the 3in1 that was provided wasnt the game I requested, I requested the 4in1; also the 3in1 doesnt even work correctly... it is so glitch fragmented you can barely see whats on the screen and 2 of the 3 games wont even show anything the only one that shows up says James Bond. But its not playable.
Well, live and learn. Oh, well. Atleast I got the cool Tengen Tetris, Galaga, Mighty Final Fight and the sample version of Double Dragon 2.

Double Dragon 4 is apparently a pirate but I am wondering what its pirated from.
Double Dragon 3 is real.
Double Dragon 2 is the prototype; I even compared it to the famicom page about it; and my copy is in fact the same exact game! Yay!
And the 4th game on the cart is Mighty Final Fight.
I am glad I got it, but am sorry you weren't able to get it.

Haha thanks guys. What mario 8 is to famicomfreak, and mario iv is to gremlin, felix is to me! My friend from mexico has it, few years ago i offered $300 for it. He wouldnt budge. Its a good thing that Cult is Jesus tho.
A cheap way to get felix is to get Pokemon Yellow,
its a hack of felix and would run like 10$.

A bit to many Pokemon hacks exist, the best 2 are Pocket Monster and Pokemon Green.

My congratz FamicomFreak, beautiful stuff.
I've noticed that You also have this awesome multicart :

Many many excellent games, one of the best compilation out there in my opinion - even though - it came with a weird famiclone ;-)

3) random one
4) LF36 (this one isn't good)
I'd put Lee Yin at number one. That's the big cart original SMB2j port.

SMB2j port are common but are rare in multicarts (I only saw it in Mario Party cart from TV.GAME Cartridge).
Actually, the best ports with a lot of special functions will go around 25-35$ on Ebay
Kaiser Pirate is not so common ! I think, only 3 people have it on the forum
LF36 from Whirlwind Manu is very common (the one without the title screen).
The other don't have any special name and are random. Many don't have A-D worlds or need to be completed 8 times without shutdown the NES to get them...
The only problem with the Kaiser one, it doesn't have red plants (only in pipes that go down).
If we should create some kinds of top4 of the best SMB2j port it will like as:
1) Kaiser
2) Normal (like the NES cartridge you got from Nesreproduction)
3) random one
4) LF36 (this one isn't good)
So they are not so common then..
the top sticker on SMB2j FC, saying something about 1988..do you guys think thats the year it was made?

Doesn't the Kaiser pirate have some sprite hacks? Lee Yin is the only one I've played that seems to almost perfectly duplicate the disk.

I don't think there's a date, but based on its size, I've asumed it's the first. There's a set evolution of pirates that makes them easy to figure out which were manufactured early and which later on. Regardless, Lee Yin's doesn't have a hacked title screen.

The only different thing is the title screen. It seems that the ? blocs are a bit different but I know why. Because they stored everything in the PRG instead putting graphics in CHR (it probably change something because NES need to read graphics from a CHR file, not PRG !
I know some other cart that seem to have normal title screen and graphics like Lee Yin.
On some Kaiser SMB2j Cartridge, there's 1988 on the label, is there any date on Lee Yin cart ?
All I recall being different was the title screen as well (and level select of course). I still own my Kaiser pirate, but sold my FDS version (it's been a while since I've played either, and the blocks may very well be different--if someone really wants to know, I could check it out and post a screen-shot if there is such a difference).
Though my favorite version of SMB2J that I have is an odd sprite hack (SMB3 Mario) version with some different graphics and bizarre changes such as the star making you swim in mid air for the rest of the level (I wrote about a bunch of the differences when I first got it). I believe someone mentioned having a cart with the same label, but it had a different game.

Great purchase--the sound quality is miles ahead of the NES version when played on the proper hardware (I don't know what people are using for the Youtube sound clips of the game, but they don't do any justice to the cart being played on an actual Famicom).

Some of the porno games can be quite humorous. The Sexy Derby I got from JC a ways back has Super Pig as a selectable character to strip for you (girl stripping out of the pig costume), and some of the mid-way images are hilarious.

$60 this beast cost me! :o
I don't regret paying an arm and leg though, because I love mega man and to have all 6 in one cartridge is great. If I was anal about it and got them all separate on official cartridges, it would cost tons more.

Wow! If I could get $60 for mine (which is exactly like the one you bought), I'd sell it.
A seller on eBay, ToysonlineHK, used to sell all the official carts in a lot for around $75. He hasn't had Famicom stuff for awhile.

That seller used to not list things often if it's the same one I'm thinking of, but now they have a bunch of items listed. Very cool Rockman cart you got, though I'm plenty happy with all of my separate NES carts.

Quick question, are the rockman games harder than the megaman games? It seems that certain enemies that took only a few shots in megaman take tons more in it's japanese counterpart.

I expect you'll be quite happy with All Night Nippon.
Otherwise, I had a hand in your ability to get a copy of Sexy Derby =P Hope you like that one as well (though I believe you mentioned playing it on an emulator already so you've probably already seen all of it in some form). I may have to look into the other games you're getting... The Nazo no game sounded interesting with what I just pulled up. Dunno the Adventures one either.

I have played through Sexy Derby. The pig was funny.
As for The Adventures of Chatran, it's a game about Milo from Milo & Otis; a movie about the adventures of a dog and a cat who are friends. Not sure if it's big in Japan or not.
Nazo no Murasamejou is a great game. It's in top-down form like Zelda 1, but the game is much faster-paced, and it's a lot more difficult. Very fun though. I'd recommend it to anyone with a disk system and anyone who likes a fun challenge.

I've heard that the Kaiser version is slightly more rare, but I'm not 100% sure. I know they usually go for a little more than their official disk versions.

I also picked up a few loose carts at a flea market including Final Mission, Ninja Gaiden (only ¥400!) and some FDS games.
There was so much cool stuff I could have bought in Akihabara if not for the blatant tourist tax pricing going on. It's crazy but it's actually cheaper to get most Famicom stuff from Western sellers on eBay!

Yeah! A complete in box Famicom system at a Taiwan flea market for $6! Manual is in Chinese and it has the original receipt. Don't know if it works yet. (don't have a TV) :( Also, 2 famiclones, one looks like a PS2 slim and one like a PS1. Also one of those N64 controller famiclones. 2 Japanese Sega Saturns, one grey, one white and an arcade style joy-stick controller! Also a Mega Drive. And a bunch of pirate Famicom games. Best day ever! Now to fit it all in my suitcase...:P

You can tell if it's the Hong Kong Famicom simply by the label, but it smells like a Famiclone to me since the manual is in Chinese.

I don't think its a famiclone. Its too heavy, more solid, AC adapter is heavy ect.. Came with an extra controller too... Box is Japanese, so I don't think its the HK one. I'll get a pic up later. Went back today to get the Mega Drive (didn't get it at first because I went home to weigh my suitcase to see if it was overweight) but it was gone :(
I'm keeping the grey Saturn, but I still haven't bought the white Japanese Saturn yet. The seller was rude to me so it turned me off to getting it on the spot. What's it worth? On ebay they seem to fluxuate and I can't tell if its because of the games they are selling with them.
@nightstar--thats great, I love intellivision. Still need to get the right hookups to get mine up and going.

Familcone. The controllers are a dead giveaway. Nonetheless, it looks very professional. Another giveaway is that on the box, the second controller doesn't have a microphone, so even if the controllers were changed, the box still shows that they were not original controllers.

They look a hell of a lot like Power Rangers, but I highly doubt that that's what they're actually supposed to be. :P The enemies are no doubt Mario characters, though.

The BIC are official Camerica/Codemasters games. Dance Dance is pretty much just pushing a direction on the D-pad when the scrolling arrows reach a certain spot on the screen. Fun for a couple of minutes. Some of the songs are cool to hear in 8-bit.

Yeah, sorry bout that. :-X Its kinda the problem with having friends who say they'll get you stuff...they never seem to get around to it until its too late and you can't yell at them cause they're your friend. Then again, I should learn to keep my mouth shut unless I can do the transactions directly.
Cool! I visited a local Famicom collector's house the other day. Bought Time Diver Avenger CIB, Dragon Spirit, Mother...plus some others that looked fun but can't read the Japanese titles. One looks like a sort of Dragon Quest style RPG by Namcot where three women follow this pimp-looking guy around...odd

Yes, the design is nearly 100% identical aside from coloring.
EDIT: Looking back now at the character screen, it looks as if that character has a "K" on his chest. It may very well intentionally be Konami Man.

Man, I don't have time to post at all these days.
Just a little update from me here in the finds section.
I had some sad news coming the last days (parents probably going to split up... I'm very sensitive about stuff like that), but instead of going on a drinking tour like a friend suggested, I drove to some game stores and bought some special packages.
Now I have here 350 Famicom games and 140 Super Famicom games. Some duplicates in there, but for that price I can't complain.
I won't tell the (very low) price or some of you might lose their faith in mankind. :D :P

I got one pack of 100 and 5 packs of 50 games each. If I bought all they had I could have gotten over 1000 I guess, but first I'd get too many duplicates and 2nd I'm sure there are more gamers around who'd like to get a nice deal. :)
Yeah, there are some nice titles indeed. See pic. (I now see I put Door Door twice... and both label variants of Devil World)

If you want (jut pm me if interested) I can always have an eye open for Gimmick and maybe make you an offer when I find one.

350! I can only imagine all the good ones ya got. I've never gotten a lot that big -- pretty big, just not that big.
I got one pack of 100 and 5 packs of 50 games each. If I bought all they had I could have gotten over 1000 I guess, but first I'd get too many duplicates and 2nd I'm sure there are more gamers around who'd like to get a nice deal. :)
Yeah, there are some nice titles indeed. See pic. (I now see I put Door Door twice... and both label variants of Devil World)

My latest Famicom finds:
(http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/1672/dscn0967t.jpg)
I'm pretty sure that Mach Rider is a pirate, not only because of the awful printing, but also because it's got the "Don't Feed To Crocs" warning label on the back.
(http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/1672/dscn0967t.jpg)
- Golgo 13
- Kung Fu
- Mach Rider (pirate?)
- Super Chinese

I've only found a few that work, and they typically have 2 or 3 disks.
Unfortunately, most of the cart converted games I've found always have disk Side D, E, or F that won't load and produce a disk error code, so I can never verify that the games are what the cover inserts say they are. I have a whole box of games (probably 13+ titles with 2-4 disks each) that may be exclusives, but won't fully load to verify. :-\ It's always only one damn side of a disk, usually D or E, that gives an error.

That's the exact same *hudson* controller I own, but mine has had the pads and buttons replaced by me for a nicer look. You should do that too, as I see the pads look worn.

It's by Hudson not Honey bee
It has the exact same honey bee as hudson, so i assumed they were linked.

All you have to do is open up the controller, and swap the pads you got from another controller with better ones (or you can buy brand new ones off eBay)

I took them out of a NES controller, they are abundant and cheap so I use them for repairs for my Famicom controllers and my Hudson controller also.

New Ghostbusters 2!!!
I have always wanted it, technically it was only released in PAL setting; so its exciting to see a pirated port onto Famicom.
Thanks, MWK
I am way to excited, I cant wait for it to arrive at my house.

I always act fast, that's how I got my pirated copy of the prototype of Double Dragon 2. Like 1 minute after I claimed it, 7 others on here messaged the seller wanting it.
You have to be fast to get what you want on here, usually you can put things on hold also. Its first come first serve on Famicomworld. That being said, I have lost out on quite a few games allot on here also.

Only it's on a single cart... Does the color palate in your copy seem to be one octave too dark? It's really annoying.

Note for ericj: if you press reset after seeing: ©1997 Hummer Team, you should get a 2 in 1 screen with DKC4 and JB2.
Thanks for the info. I'll try that today and see what happens. What's it mean if it doesn't happen when I press reset?
Also, I have that one MS-DOS4 is talking about both on a single & a multi. The color is darker and the graphics are somewhat scrambly on both versions of mine, too, regardless if it's played on a clone or official hardware.

EWJ3 is kinda ok. It's really difficult to get past the yellow dog thing that goes after you at high speeds. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?
edit:
Well, I looked and somebody made game genie codes for this particular pirate, allowing me to cheat my way though the levels. All I can say is that this game is way above pirate standards, this looks totally professional!

I hope this isn't like Rockman 7 and is just a titlescreen hack, probably of Rockman 2. I've been searching for this forever, can't wait till it arrives, though my expectations are pretty low. What are the chances someone actually ported X2 to Famicom? We'll find out... :-X

You probably won't like it, and will vastly enjoy Somari more.

My curiousity got the best of me, I had to see the differences for myself.
If you know what I mean?
But yea, I know I will likely really enjoy Somari; I have played it emulated and got decently far once I memorized all the random traps. Once you figure out the traps they made, like the ones to stop you from running... or jumping at a certain time.
The game gets great, and I bet its even more fun on the actual system, as emulation never does a game justice.

The AV Famicom! Should be able to get it quite soon, this is the exact one I will be getting for sure. Just depends on how long it takes for me to afford it, no more then 3 weeks.

Unfortunately not, it's still waiting for me. I just today FINALLY made one sale on eBay, first sale in probably over a month. With that cash I'm probably going to be paying for some stuff from someone else first. So the wait's going to take a bit longer I'm afraid :-[
If anyone is curious what Hercules and The Grinch for SNES are though, that's what's in the package I'm going to pay shipping for. So it's not Rockman X2, but I'm using the money for other obscurities :P I'm considering possibly doing a blog of unique things I find, but probably will hold off until i actually see if any of this really IS anything special, or just title screen hacks or something very lame.

Today, I finally got the 5 games in from Vash. Unfortunately, 3in1 with Lion King, Flinstones and Mortal Kombat 3 doesnt function at all.
But Somari plays wonderfully!
I had to test them on my friend, Gyromiters Famicom (the one I gave him for his birthday) as I currently have no way to play Famicom until my AV Famicom arrives.
My Honeybee Converter is glitchy and like makes famicom games almost unplayable on my NES-101 Toploader. My question was answered, "YES, Converters do began failing badly after constant use.", even good quality ones."

AV Famicom!!! ;D
It arrived today, just about 5 minutes ago. I plugged it in and omg it is the cleanest signal I have ever seen a Famicom give. Even pirates look better, I am impressed!
Thanks, Manuel!!! This was a great deal and thanks for the free Formation Z game!
Pictures soon, hopefully. now!

MS-DOS4, omg it is amazing.
The sound quality is better, the picture is extremely better and it can use NES controllers, but at the same time also use the wonderful Famicom stuffs.
I never imagined what I was missing out on, the original Famicom may look cooler but it just doesnt cut it in the long run as compared to the AV Famicom. Really the same goes for the NES versus the ultimate NES-101 Toploader, newwer models just work better because of upgrades.

That AV Famicom look sweet UG. I don't have the money to buy one right now, but with the thing I just got, you might as well call my Famicom an AV one. This should come on Monday from ericj ;D

I'm really excited to start using my NES Max and the Zapper (when I'm using a CRT) on my Famicom.
Those are a nice invention with that and an AV mod, you get the same thing as a AV Famicom. I am not technical at all and I figured that just buying the AV version would be more simple for me.
But I would also like to own one of those adapters one day also, so I use a zapper on my console.

HyperShot controllers and the two compatible games. I remembered I wanted these awhile ago and saw them on eBay when I was searching for the Hyper Shot gun.

Yep..pretty much all you do is use the two buttons--Run & Jump--for the games.
I'll have to play them more and see what I really think, but my first impression after playing them each for a few minutes is that they are kind of hard. It was a surprise for games you play with only 2 buttons! :D

I hope this isn't like Rockman 7 and is just a titlescreen hack, probably of Rockman 2. I've been searching for this forever, can't wait till it arrives, though my expectations are pretty low. What are the chances someone actually ported X2 to Famicom? We'll find out... :-X
Have you gotten this cart yet? I'm really curious to see what it is.
I got this in the mail today. As expected it was just Rockman 2 :'( What's more it has a copyright from NTDEC at startup. Talk about misleading people :/

Well those 3 bandai games, (the oddly shaped ones), the top 2 are Famicom Jump and Goemon 2. And on the other 6, the bottom left is Adventure Island. The one next to it I think is Kamen no Ninja Hanamaru. That konami game, I know the name of it but I just cant remember it...
Edit: Getsuufu Maden is the konami game.

My latest Famicom related flea market finding. I haven't been to flea markets in ages, so I went to one with a friend yesterday and I managed to score this one for a dollar:
(http://133fsb.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/mkiispecial.jpg)
JY-030 Mortal Kombat III Special ! ;D
Cart is in overall good condition, the label is a bit torn off at the edges, game works perfectly and it's got blood effects unlike my other MK pirate. :D

Found myself a square button Famicom in the middle of a junk pile the other day. Pictures here:
http://famicomblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/square-button-famicom-my-new.html
Only problem is that it is missing one of its square buttons (argh!). And it doesn't work. But I just had to have it.
Anybody have a spare square button?

It's so yellow...it looks like a rock. That looks more like something someone made by hand than an actual Famicom, and it's sweet! I don't blame you for wanting it. You should turn it into something cool. I have no idea what though.

Am I the only one that likes how old, junky gaming stuff looks? I never clean that stuff if I can help it, it's part of the history. I love how yellowed and worn that thing is, it's amazing. You shoulda kept the top on it (although I guess your other Famicom wouldn't be working if you had).

I'm open to suggestions! Right now its just sitting in a closet. I'm hoping to get it to work someday so I can actually use it, though I've gotta find another button somewhere!

FamicomFreak and Tankexmortis:
I'm hearing you about how cool stuff looks "used". I was kind of torn about switching the cases, though the cool thing is that I can always switch them back, which I'm kind of thinking of doing. Because now when I look at my square-button Famicom I know that it has a dark secret - that part of it is actually a round-button Famicom.
Usually when I get some old Famicom stuff the only thing I'll remove is the dust and grime. If a cartridge has a kid's name written on it with marker or something I always take care to leave that on - part of its history!

On another note, this will almost complete my rainbow of famicarts, as I'm missing pink, purple, and white. I think I'll get Dr. Mario for white, and purple I have no idea.

Nice finds. :)
They are all labeled as common disks. Any games on the disks that are different than the labels?

Thanks !
Nice finds too.
it's funny because we got Power Rangers 3 the same day (if you got those game today).
The return of Jafar cartridge you have is a stolen board. JY published the game then a company called TP buyed most of JY stock and sold the cartridge under TP id. (JY-078//TP-078) at an highter price (source: korean guy).
I got new pieate stuff last week.
and got new nes stuff today all game with box manual.

Today, I got a pretty cool famiclone system.
(http://i954.photobucket.com/albums/ae24/nightstar699/100_2957.jpg)
I like it because it plays the games perfectly, plus it has an eject button like a real famicom. Also the system is like a Famicom, the controllers are like Super Famicom. :D
I also got some games for it.
(http://i954.photobucket.com/albums/ae24/nightstar699/Image018.jpg)
Satan Den (its really Gegege Kitaro)
Stick Hunter by Whirlwind Manu
Karaoto Video games
and Baseball with box and manual. I am happy. ;D
Edit: Stick Hunter is actually Blades of Steel. ???

A USB Famicom controller from usb.brando.com (http://usb.brando.com/buffalo-usb-nintendo-pc-game-pad_p01475c048d015.html) just arrived to my door and I must say It's perfect! Really feels like original and the buttons have "the right -push- sound" :D Also the Turbo function is very well implemented (can be set for any button) and according to the manual booklet, a "second" (player two) controller model with microphone is out there somewhere ...

Medisinyl, you'll love FC Genjin. It's my favorite Famicom game.
jpx72, you should check out RetroUSB.com. They have some products that will let you use any standard NES controller (as well as controllers for other systems) on your PC for emulators. They've also got some other cool NES-related stuff.

Must be a board in the wrong case, because the label says Duck Jones, but the game is Little Ninja Brothers.

Gomoku Narabre. I bought this for two reasons:
1. It's a NES game in Doboutso no Mori +
2. It's a pulseline needed to complete my collection. I need a few more pulselines.

I have a copy of it and never even play it. I find it frustrating since Mario moves so weirdly--the controls feel a lot like MC Kids to me, but worse. Besides it being some shitty port of SMW, I really don't understand all the excitement about this game and why people brag about multiple copies. I'd rather spend my time playing something else.
But, yeah, why the multiple copies? I assume you get them pretty cheaply, but still, what a waste of money. You could have at least purchased a full version for what you probably spent on all those demo versions.
EDIT:
I never said I hated it. I just think it's not worthy of all the fanfare. Got it? Or, in your words, "come on"...

4-1 Multicart from MasterDisk. It includes the Donkey Kong Country 4 pirate, Choujin Sentai Jetman, "Jungle Book 2" (DKC4 with hacked graphics), and Tiger-Heli. All very fun games I must say.
(http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/1812/dsc00982.jpg)
From MWK I have some keyboard software. Can't use it since I don't have a keyboard famiclone, but the menu shows all sorts of crap like G Basic, F Basic, english, math, Contra, and what looks like a word program. I haven't seen it dumped.

Finally from Trenton_Net, we have The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. Has nice 8bit LOZ music on the title screen, unlike Triforce of the Gods. Impossible to play.

Got Gimmick. This game kicks your butt and takes names.
(http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/8268/dsc00988jq.jpg)
Sounds like crap without the extra audio chip, but the build quality of the cartridge is excellent. I've never seen a pirate feel so close to the real thing. It's very heavy and the plastic is thick / solid.

MS-DOS4 - Quality this case is excellent, but label in my opinion is regenarated/home-made. Sunsoft logo on label in pirate cart?...
In Poland we have seller who had and sold us many pieces of these carts with the same solid box, look to my cart:

Anyway, here are my news awesome finds:
(http://s2.noelshack.com/uploads/images/12081448234350_100_2951.jpg)
Somari (boxed) Note: this is a different box ! It is the exact same size as the cartridge so it fits without the need of a plastic holder (unlike Ryo copy). The box art is exactly the same.
Also that 15in1 which is VERY interesting.
Here's a quick video showing the most interesting games:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY4An2OtuFs
That's interesting, I didn't notice how Ryo's copy has a bigger box. Maybe they just made variations or something. I double checked the UPC code too, looks the same on both copies.
Which came first will be impossible to know I guess :)

Super Mario 6
Three Eyes Kid (Mitsume Ga tooru)
Power Blade 2
Gradius
Mickey Mouse
Tiger
Kung-Fu
I'm really happy it has PB2 on it, now I don't have to worry about having to spend 100+ dollars to get that game.
Edit: And I've gotten a ton of other Famicom games since I last posted finds. I'll take pics sometime.

It depends where you live. Places like Hong Kong China and Taiwan will be good places to find pirates being sold at street vendors. I live in the US and so finding pirates in the wild is extremely difficult, although I've seen a few. If you live in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, whatever, I'd suggest you do what I do and stick to this forum and ebay. Boring multicarts are all over ebay but they're overpriced. Here you will find vendors selling interesting multicarts and cool single game pirates at good prices.

I live in the US too. I've actually found a few pirates at the flea market I frequent. I found a Power Joy-008, and three gameboy multicarts. I just bought one today actually. For some reason when I bought that I had this urge to buy a huge lot of famicom pirates.
I'm probably going to make a WTB thread soon.

Just got Trenton_Net's subor famiclone keyboard. Cool item, but not as cool as 133MHz's which has a printer port. Here's a picture:

Nice touch with the gold lettering (http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b182/BEAVERTRON/Miscellaneous/DSC01062.jpg)
Way too expensive, but if you've wanted an 8-bit keyboard go check Trenton's thread.

I'm using a NTSC tv. I'll need to dump another $150-300 on a GOOD pal to ntsc converter (all I get is a scrolling black and white picture, making the entire unit useless)
Anyway, from what I can tell it works fine. It accepts all my famicom cartridges, and while the picture is messed up for obvious reasons, the sound is fine and so are the controls.

Even with a converter from what I have heard you will still get black and white.

I think the cheap $30~ units turn the picture to full color, but won't stop the screen from scrolling. The expensive ones will make the picture color AND stop the scrolling. If you have an old TV with a VHOLD knob on the back, you can opt for the cheap converters, but on modern TVs you need to pay a pretty penny.
I also hear very modern TVs can handle both signals, but my LCD and tube appears to not.

A cheap PAL to NTSC converter will get you color, but the scrolling won't be fixed with a cheap one unless your TV can adjust vertical hold. If you have an old enough TV, you can get away using a cheap converter. I've seen cheap old CRT TVs with the necessary v-hold adjustment for free or $10-20. Just haven't gotten one yet to try my keyboard famiclone out on.

I don't understand why there is so much trouble to run PAL consoles in NTSC areas... Why it is so, that I can run NTSC Famicom with AV mod on any old/new PAL TV in full colour and super sound? I always thought that composite output isn't specific to NTSC/PAL. But now I see it is.

While NES Repros makers are pretty easy to find, rarely will I stumble across a FC or SFC repro. Sure do wish I could commission more but the seller forgot where he got this repro and his Earthbound Zero repro (which went into the high 80's if memory serves).

It's so prolific in the SNES and NES world. I would really like to see someone do this with Famicom games.
I've asked a couple of the SNES/NES repro makers but they usually don't have the hardware to test FC repros.

Also, when did this thread turn into a dial up thread? :D
Also #2, Halo combat evolved on dialup! It was hell!

Together with my mouse famiclone:
(http://jpx72.detailne.sk/upload/mwk3.jpg)
it's working marvelous!!!
I never thought that those famiclone mouses are so good-working! Even a double-click is implemented (it must be not-too-long and also not-too-short to work)! I finished my first round of Solitaire on a Famiclone using a MOUSE (http://jpx72.detailne.sk/stuff_files/fc/unique_mouse.jpg) and been awarded a horrible winning song! YaaaaY !

How fast does your mouse scroll across the screen? In some cartridges mine is ultra slow, but in others it's way too fast.
Also, that's a nice looking keyboard. I love the burgundy.

LOL ;D that's the colour's name! Yes, I had to buy it, reminds me of original famicom colour.
And the movement is okay, that means it's not too quick and not too slow, I would say it's perfectly timed for the size of the screen. But don't forget I'm in PAL region, maybe your mouse can't adapt the speed to NTSC.

Jpx72, I received the exact same keyboard from MWK. But, I haven't been able to use mine yet since it's PAL. :-\
Gremlin, the cost of the console wasn't too bad, maybe like $15, but shipping to the US was absolutely ridiculous.

Thanks Gremlin, I like this keyboard very much too. And yes, it was about 15$, I think maybe 12€ or so.
& ericj - that's unfortunate that you cannot use PAL consoles, hope you get it to work with some converter one day.
Just for laughs, check out the "manual (http://jpx72.detailne.sk/stuff_files/fc/unique_inst2.jpg)" !
(Shipping of package this big can be up to 25€ from here to USA... that's really too much)
PS this is my first and only cartridge with "mouse" software, the included cartridge I bought with that keyboard famiclone didn't got any mouse software.

Vash really is the guy to go to for pirates.
I just bought "3 in 1: Turtles 2, Super C and Double Dragon II" and "4 in 1: Super spy hunter, Ninja Ryukenden 3, Captain America and Harry's Legend"
It must rock to live in Poland because tons of awesome pirated cartridges are obviously everywhere.

Kart Fighter from Maikol. This was of one of those games that was on my checklist since the very beginning almost two years ago, and now it's finally mine.
Just need Dian Shi Ma Li Mario Lottery and I'll be happy, it's just so elusive! :)

I went to a used records store yesterday to trade in some old PC games, CDs and DVDs and got these three pirates instead:
(http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc508/kristinn_olafur/PICT9089.jpg?t=1295789334)
The top one is Fist of the North Star, bottom left is Battlecity, bottom right is Seicross.
But when I got home to test them only Fist of the North star seemed to work, even after cleaning the other two :upsetroll:
So going back tomorrow to exchange the broken ones for NES games I guess, too bad cause I've been wanting to play Battlecity for some time.

So where exactly is it that you guys are finding these pirates?
Back in the US, I don't think I've ever seen these, and here in Japan, all I've seen was one 'hundred in one' cart locked in a display case.

Actually these are the first famicom carts I find in a store here in Iceland although I have found one guy online willing to sell me some carts but at unreasonable prices.
As for not finding much of the pirate carts in the US and Japan, I'd take a guess that it is because it was already pretty easy to get a hold of offical carts, with Nintendo having a firm foothold in Japan and an official branch in the US. As for over here in the middle of the atlantic, the old NES system had distibutors, but all we got famicom wise here were pirates, so that is the only thing you can find here. But with the NES being as big as it was over here, the famiclone owners were very few so finding pirates is a bit hard.

Went and returned the broken pirates and got this curious cart instead:

Can anyone tell from the language on the back of the cart where this is made?
I have not seen a pirate cart that looks like this around here before.
Also got Werewolf for the NES since the only other pirate cart he had was Galaxian but I already have that exact same pirate cart.

A Game Master and Master Link. These are fairly rare and expensive Famicom copiers that allow you to do some cool things, like perform save states with cart games in either the 6M internal memory or onto FDS disks (via the Master Link), play games in selectable incremental slow motion, and copy disks with a built-in copy program. The Master Link connects to the Game Master with a female-to-female DA-15 cable, which I also have but isn't pictured. I'll have some info within a week or so on my site, including a translated instruction manual and showing what it does.

I will also be getting a copy of "All Night Nippon" on a Famicom cartridge, and yes they are reproductions using the new fixed sprite hack that I made.
Famicom cartridge based reproductions are very hard to come by and so are people willing to do the surgery for said reproduction.

The SMB ANN FDS rom image is available, and I think a copy on a FDS disk is better than a cart version with incorrect levels. Just my opinion, though. I imagine that the sprites & levels can be ripped from the FDS image to make a "correct" cart version, too.

The sprites are all right in the reproduction I am getting but obviously about 1/3 of the levels are wrong. But honestly that doesn't bother me much as I cannot even get past 4-1 by simply playing through in original SMB.
I just wanted the fabled game on a cart, as I do not own a Disk System and likely wont ever.

http://famicomblog.blogspot.com/2011/03/first-famicom-carts-of-2011.html
It was a pretty good haul, as I needed 9 of the carts. I now have 647 of them, almost 2/3 of the way to the whole set. Its getting extremely difficult at this point to find ones I don't already have, so scoring 9 in one go is quite the coup for me! ;D

They were all in a 100-yen each crate! So I paid 1,000 for all of them (about $10 US).
I had never seen a few of them either. Mitsume ga tooru goes for about 3,000 yen at most shops in my area, so that was quite the bargain! Doropie I'd never seen anywhere before.

OK, sorry to be hogging this thread with repeated bargain reporting, but I have to put this here:
http://famicomblog.blogspot.com/2011/03/mega-bargain-of-day-3-consoles-and-game.html
1,000 yen (about 10 US dollars) today bought me:
1 boxed, working AV Famicom;
1 boxed, working Famiclone;
1 boxed, working Game Boy Advance;
1 Super Famicom game (Blues Brothers).
That is 10 dollars for all of them, not 10 dollars each.
This definitely counts as one of the best bargain finds ever.

These are definitely not normal prices for Japanese (or any) retro game shops. This specific shop will occasionally get a massive shipment of stuff in that they just dump in their junk section for rock-bottom prices. Within about 24 hours all the good stuff is gone, so you have to be quick and lucky to get any of it!
fred j - I will be looking to sell/trade some of my Famicom games at some point. I'll keep you posted when I do.
Incidentally I put that post up literally minutes before the earthquake struck. It has, needless to say, put an end to the happy mood I was in. Thankfully Fukuoka wasn't hit.

Oh, and I wonder about the spartan X game called "kung fu". Have you seen it in stores in Japan? What is it priced at? Thanks.

I have been reading most of your posts on your blog, but I skip some silly ones. ;) What is your realistical plan about the famicom games -- how many do you think you will be able to collect?

Thanks for reading. I hope I'll eventually get all of the Famicom carts, I need a little over 400 to complete the set. Unfortunately that includes a lot of the hard-to-find expensive ones, so I'm still pretty far off from the goal.
I've only seen that "Kung Fu" version of Spartan X on Ebay, never in a store. Its an expensive one for sure, but I don't know what it goes for in stores here.

I picked up 10 Famicom carts I needed on the way home today, put some pics up on my blog here:
http://famicomblog.blogspot.com/2011/03/first-famicom-carts-of-2011.html
It was a pretty good haul, as I needed 9 of the carts. I now have 647 of them, almost 2/3 of the way to the whole set. Its getting extremely difficult at this point to find ones I don't already have, so scoring 9 in one go is quite the coup for me! ;D
They're beautiful!
I left a comment on your blog.. Oh man I haven't even seen the Lode Runner or Doropie cart... Just thinking about a 100yen price makes me wanna jump outta my shorts! Did you almost have a heart attack when you saw them for that price? This group is one of the greatest finds I've ever known. I easily payed 3000yen for what you have there, and that doesn't the two rarest most desirable carts!

Right on time at the rendezvous point.
Here comes that shady looking guy holding a red bag.
- hey, whatcha got for me?
- a whole bag of these...
I threw a quick peek.
- what's that crap supposed to be?
- come on, bottle of vodka and it's all yours!
- I believe we have a deal :-)
Gotta love 'em even when you don't know what they are :cherry:

Thanks, they were a crazy good deal. I was immensely excited. Sometimes they'll toss a bin of unimpressive titles out for 100 yen (a lot of baseballs, golfs, etc), so when I first saw the bin I thought it would be like that. Then when I went through them I thought more like "Wait! There are good games in here!!"
From then on I was like a kid in a candy store.
An unfortunate postscript is that I went in a couple days later expecting to find more good deals but actually found the opposite. They had a bunch of new Famicom carts out, but instead of insanely cheap they were all insanely overpriced. 1,000 yen each for Dragon Quest games loose, etc. Nothing less than 1000 yen each. Its the first time I've ever seen Omocha Souko put rip-off prices on stuff. I was so dissapointed.
I think it is totally luck of the draw. If the right person is doing the pricing that day, you can find some great deals.

Picked up a black Twin Famicom Turbo for $189.77 on ePay. I think I overpaid a bit, but it's in good working condition and includes hookups, so I guess I can't complain too much.

Today in the mail, Everquest... but unfortunately its broken and only displays garbled graphics.

Tested on 2 official Famicoms and a Famiclone, so I know its faulty cart which makes me sad.
Already messaged Trenton_net about the broken cart, and am just waiting for a reply.
Heartbroken. :'(

Trenton_net, just messaged me actually saying he would either refund or send me another. :diskkun:

The Uninvited Gremlin program and music in your crashed game working properly? If yes, maybe that is crashed chr rom or chr ram (I don't know what is the chr in that cart). If this circuit is in the housing DIP, repair is maybe possible to do. (nothing is certain in the hundred percent).

It is nice, but I've literally been looking for about 5 or 6 years for a reasonably priced beautiful one. I have the Famicom Micro and P2 faceplate along with all the Famicom Mini games and display boxes so this kinda completed the set after so many years. I actually don't have the regular Famicom GBA SP and I wonder if I'll bother with the ultra-rare Robot Taisen Mini game, but there ya go.
I must say though, Nico's recent finds are very appetising indeed! All CIB too by the looks of it! Great!

Yeah, I've been on a Famicom kick lately. All my games for every system are CIB, so I went that way with Famicom aswell. Pretty tempting to just get loose carts for cheap, but nah. Also cool that each of those games also came with the standard papers (though I couldn't bother to include them all in the various pictures) that came with every Famicom game. They're not included more often than not, so I'm pleased that these copies still had them!
Complete copies of Metal Storm and Bucky O'Hare should be arriving soon, though I'm pretty busy with Hebereke (Ufouria) at the moment. Love it!
My Famicom count is up to 19 now, plus 6 CIB Disk System games! :) Trying to be picky about which games to buy.

Alright, this is a little weird, but cool nonetheless. I received a package today. I was refunded from the guy who was selling a random game from a lot that I thought was too good to be true. Bad communication gave me a free copy of adventure Island. I wasn't expecting any of ordered items to come this early. I wasn't sure at first who gave me it.

Today for $5 locally, I got a Power Games penguin famiclone; I quickly popped Everquest into it and all I get out of the game is a color blotch. I have tested all my other games, its the only one that doesn't work.
Everquest does not work in Famicom, AV Famicom, NES-101 Toploader with adapter, NES-001 Toaster with adapter, Power Games Penguin Famiclone or a Yobo FC game console with adapter.
*sigh*
(http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u68/Evil_Vlad/IMG00085.jpg)
The only system I know it works with based on Trenton_net testing is Game Theory Admiral... is that all it works on?
(The Penguin Famiclone system came with one wireless controller, 1 wired controller, a lightgun and a 111in1 cartridge which appears to have literally 111 individual games.)

I don't know, I just badly wanted to play Everquest on a Famicom.
On a side note, the Penguin clone is loads of fun to use.

I bought this off eBay, it's of course Satomi Hakkenden, the game Waixing used to make Everquest (a title hack and translation from Japanese to Chinese, otherwise identical to the original game.)
I am super excited to own this as I was very sad that Everquest is incompatible with real hardware and apparently some clones also. I had to find out the hard way by ordering it and thinking it was DOA, sending it back, receiving a second copy but it didn't work either and then finally sending the second copy back and getting a refund.

Oh yeah on facebook I catch him once in a full moon but it's always a short conversation. At least I know he is doing well so it's all good.

I bought this off eBay, it's of course Satomi Hakkenden, the game Waixing used to make Everquest (a title hack and translation from Japanese to Chinese, otherwise identical to the original game.)
I am super excited to own this as I was very sad that Everquest is incompatible with real hardware and apparently some clones also. I had to find out the hard way by ordering it and thinking it was DOA, sending it back, receiving a second copy but it didn't work either and then finally sending the second copy back and getting a refund.
Today it arrived, and its amazing! Yay! ;D

This one is interesting, by Waixing, I'd really want to know how to play it :
(http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/3705/zhengbashijimwk.jpg)
According to http://bootleggames.wikia.com/wiki/Waixing it's "争霸世纪" (Zheng Ba Shi Ji) however on the box (despite that korean sticker) and the cart label there is "世纪争霸戰" (Shi Ji Zheng Ba Zhan) which all loosely means "Hegemony Century" or "Century Battle" BUT after digging a little deeply into emu-russia and FamicomGuide (hello FamicomFreak :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7BYi8_XkGg it came to my attention that it's a port of a SNES game called "Europe Sensen", pretty awesome, huh? :gamer:

my gf bought a ton of pirates for me from Shenzhen before she came here - the catch? She forgot to bring them and the officials won't send them over by post.
So, I guess this is an anti-finds, considering I'm still waiting for them and won't get them til August! :(

Quote from: machbed on May 12, 2011, 11:50:46 amIn response to the first question, Bomberman II and Zelda are actually included, the latter of which is the Famicom version. However, as far as I can tell there isn't a battery mounted in it. That said, I haven't tested it properly yet. I'd look inside, but I'd probably break the cart knowing me.

What's most interesting, to me at least, is that "Gold Mario" is actually Super Mario Bros. 2 from the FDS. :)

This is a really interesting thing that I found at Mandarake a few days ago that, until seeing it, I had no idea even existed. An unopened wax box of 1986 Famicom cards:
http://famicomblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/amida-famicom-mini-cards-coolest.html
Looking around the internet there is not much info about these things (ie none that I can find). I think they are pretty beautiful though.

So I finally have something to post about, tho I'm going to be lazy and not post a pic. At any rate, the local Goodwill (closest to me) has been having great deals on their NES carts. They're mostly set at $1.99. Today I went in there and saw a very strange looking one. Turned out to be a Supervision 110-in-1! Yes, for only two bucks. (Even better, I picked up a copy of Intelligent Qube for $6, but that's not a Fami/NES find.)

Yeah, of all the people on this forum you're the only one that seems to be getting a steady flow of at least 100 of these things every couple of months. Always thought pirate FDS disks would be pretty hard to find by now, you must have a good source from HK or something :P
BTW, I don't know much about FDS, but I'm assuming the majority of those games are ports from cart games that were never on disk officially?

Wasn't expecting to find anything famicom related at the flea market but i guess anything is possible...
20000 in 1 pirate, 190 in 1 pirate, 1991 magic jewelry 2, peter pan looking pirate(boy on a train), Nintendo power 60 to 72 pin converter, and last but not least a gold honey bee 60 to 72 pin converter!! ;D Bought all items in both pics for $18 :P

I was pretty stoked! I first found little nemo(Thanks for the name!) swimming in a sea of other random junk on the floor. I could not find any other carts so I asked how much and the guy wanted $4. I kept looking for others and decided to look at the last table in the back and found the rest neatly organized. I figured he would want around $15 for everything but he told me I could take them all for $7. I sure if they all said "nintendo" on them it would have been more since old school nintendo stuff seems to be going up in price.

Nicest I've seen, look to be hardly used. Buttons and D-pad are very tight/solid. Hardly any surface scratches too, so I had to have them!

Nice haul there! Flea markets really are the best:)
I see you got Gauntlet in there too, I think the last time I played that game was in 1987 or so, it was a childhood favorite. They don't seem to have a Famicom version, unless i am mistaken.

This is the greatest game ever made for any console. Cuz the other ones don't involve phoning Miho Nakayama.

Put some more photos here:

3,000 yen with a Wild Gunman cart thrown in. Pretty good deal.

that's the one that looks like a Game Boy right? I've never heard of it having a cart slot on the second player controller, it just takes its own GB-sized carts as far as I know. It might be possible to find/make an adapter to use regular sized Famicom games on it though (similar to the one the Game Theory Admiral uses I guess)

Forgot to put this here until now, but I got two 150-in-1 multicarts off TaoBao: ;D
Seems to be a lot like the 245-in-1 Trenton_net has, by which I mean it has a lot of games. Technically 147 by my count, although a couple of them are alternate versions of games already included.

I felt very lucky yesterday, because something arrived that I'd been quietly waiting a long time for:

Hogan's Alley is my favourite game of all on the Famicom, so to find one brand new unopened copy some years ago made me very happy back then.
To find 20 brand new, with the shipping box too, made me ecstatic! :diskkun:
I don't normally collect new games, but I was particularly interested in the shipping box as a little piece of history.

I finally broke down and bought myself the Power Glove.
I've been tempted for years to get one, but always resisted. 40% off sale today though: it was now or never.
Still can't figure out how it works. My dog thinks it is a chew toy so that is complicating things a lot. I put some pics up:

Ah the Power Glove. It's interesting to see that it has that enormous 3-cube dongle thing... I wondered why the box was so damned huge.
I got a few goodies of my own this weekend over in Osaka:
(http://i.imgur.com/qa2lO.jpg)
The AV Fami they've had for a little while now, maybe about 4000 yen in box with both controllers and a free AV cable/power adapter. It's more than I generally love to pay for stuff, but the image quality is so nice and jailbar free that it was totally worth it.
(http://i.imgur.com/CnagO.jpg)
Also still working on my collection of every Nintendo-published Famicom/FDS game with box/manual, so I filled in a few parts of that. Everything but Zelda/Mother was around the 600 yen mark, with Mother at a painful 2000, still the cheapest I've seen it in shape this good. Even has all the inserts!

LOL, yeah I guess I can give up on the figuring and just accept that the Power Glove does nothing:)
Awesome finds there, lobdale. I love the boxed cart collection, Zelda and Mother are hard to find complete here in Fukuoka. 600 yen is a really good deal for Kirby and Joy Mech Fight too.

It looks nice to have in the collection, though.

My September Famicom finds. Clones, clones and more clones! Have I mentioned I'm obsessed with clones? ::)
Yet another "Creation" mini NES clone, this time in its original box (though in poor condition) with two controllers and AC adapter. Dual slot (60/72) with built in games. I'm still working on it so I'll just show you some funny Engrish proudly displayed on the side of the box for now: :P
(http://133fsb.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/creation_box.jpg?w=800) (http://133fsb.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/creation_box.jpg)
Two Power Joy consoles. The left one was $2 and barebones while the right one was $6 and complete (2nd controller, light gun, AC adapter). Seems that the light gray one is a VT02 based system! :o It comes with a ton of built-in games in just one ROM chip, that smells like OneBus mode to me. The darker one seems to be a regular NoAC and its built-in game board comes with the PAL version of Super Mario Bros, even though it outputs NTSC and the rest of the games are NTSC-JU!

And here's the sweetest find of all, which I consider as my Happy Birthday present, from myself to myself. ;D
Last Thursday I won this (http://articulo.mercadolibre.cl/MLC-36303392-lote-de-consolas-vintage-_JM) lot of old consoles and accessories on MercadoLibre (Latin American eBay subsidiary). Paid about 30 bucks for everything pictured. I just couldn't resist, for my weird clone hardware obsessed self this is a goldmine. I'll be entertained for days just by cleaning and testing these. It all arrived just one day before my birthday which makes me super happy! :bub:
Some pictures from the auction:
Old school Famicom clones! *drools*

A pair of Acclaim Wireless Infrared NES controllers, not bad!
(http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/284224_2237017882414_1156991378_32679932_1087757_n.jpg)
Coleco Telstar Colortron Pong console. All of my current Pong systems are monochrome so this is a nice addition. Haven't tested it out yet, I don't have two 9V batteries handy.
(http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/250152_2237018162421_1156991378_32679933_3963172_n.jpg)
Newten Boy II "Portable" Famicom clone. 60 pin cartridge slot, second controller port, headphone jack, optional battery pack(?) and wireless TV transmission. Nice turbo controller in the shape of the original Famicom ones.
(http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/284747_2237018362426_1156991378_32679934_1460598_n.jpg)
Micro Genius IQ201 clone with a bunch of extra stuff. That light gun looks awfully similar to the original Famicom revolver (more on this later) and that orange infrared controller surely has caught my attention.
(http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/281489_2237018922440_1156991378_32679937_5523487_n.jpg)
Cosmo Tech Game Engine clone from Korea. Nice Super Famicom styling.
(http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/281410_2237019202447_1156991378_32679938_269515_n.jpg)
I surely feel like a kid in a candy shop with that much stuff to play with! :D
All of the clone systems are working, they mostly had simple problems like cold solder joints, dirty contacts and worn out controllers. The Game Engine and the Newten Boy II have been completely restored, the Micro Genius is next.
That orange wireless Famicom controller is just what I needed! Finally I can play my Famicom comfortably without being limited by its really short controller cords! ;D The contact strip on one of the switches came loose so I glued it back in place, and one of the battery covers is missing the metal tab which connects the batteries electrically. For the time a piece of tinfoil will do, while I figure out a more permanent solution. :)
The Acclaim controllers are also pending, seems they've got battery acid inside which will need to be cleaned up. :bomb:
Now if you excuse me, I'll go tinker around some more with my new toys :gamer:

Lucky you, the only Famiclones I have are the standard NOAC stuff. (Well, one has perfect sound emulation but the colour palette is a bit buggered and it freezes a lot) I wonder if those old school ones can run pirate carts that don't work on a real Famicom. (I have two, namely a Korean 8-in-1 cart and a 150-in-1) :gamer:

I've got so many different clones it's borderline obsessive. In the land of pirates anything is possible: Perfect discretes, faulty discretes, perfect NoACs, faulty NoACs, all kinds of NoACs ranging from big ones with external RAM to tiny all-in-ones and now those enhanced VT0x ones, all kinds of bankswitching hardware for the built-in games, etc. That's why I never cease to be amazed. :cherry:
As for these particular ones, all three output incorrect audio. The Game Engine boasts a discrete UMC chipset and the Newten Boy II a NoAC in a QFP package with external RAM circa 1992. They all run Castlevania III which means their cartridge slots have been correctly wired. I'll probably be running more tests on them in the next couple of days. ;)

My first Famicom game (which happens to be probably my favorite NES game of all time), BATMAN! I thought these plastic cases were the norm, too - however I learned that isn't the case. Sorry for including the controller, it was a reference for myself because I was shocked at how tiny this case was ... it's so darn cute and tough ... at the same time! :D

My September Famicom finds. Clones, clones and more clones! Have I mentioned I'm obsessed with clones? ::)
Yet another "Creation" mini NES clone, this time in its original box (though in poor condition) with two controllers and AC adapter. Dual slot (60/72) with built in games. I'm still working on it so I'll just show you some funny Engrish proudly displayed on the side of the box for now: :P
(http://133fsb.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/creation_box.jpg?w=800) (http://133fsb.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/creation_box.jpg)
Two Power Joy consoles. The left one was $2 and barebones while the right one was $6 and complete (2nd controller, light gun, AC adapter). Seems that the light gray one is a VT02 based system! :o It comes with a ton of built-in games in just one ROM chip, that smells like OneBus mode to me. The darker one seems to be a regular NoAC and its built-in game board comes with the PAL version of Super Mario Bros, even though it outputs NTSC and the rest of the games are NTSC-JU!

And here's the sweetest find of all, which I consider as my Happy Birthday present, from myself to myself. ;D
Last Thursday I won this (http://articulo.mercadolibre.cl/MLC-36303392-lote-de-consolas-vintage-_JM) lot of old consoles and accessories on MercadoLibre (Latin American eBay subsidiary). Paid about 30 bucks for everything pictured. I just couldn't resist, for my weird clone hardware obsessed self this is a goldmine. I'll be entertained for days just by cleaning and testing these. It all arrived just one day before my birthday which makes me super happy! :bub:
Some pictures from the auction:
Old school Famicom clones! *drools*
(http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/252162_2237017482404_1156991378_32679929_1925534_n.jpg)
A pair of Acclaim Wireless Infrared NES controllers, not bad!
(http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/284224_2237017882414_1156991378_32679932_1087757_n.jpg)
Coleco Telstar Colortron Pong console. All of my current Pong systems are monochrome so this is a nice addition. Haven't tested it out yet, I don't have two 9V batteries handy.
(http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/250152_2237018162421_1156991378_32679933_3963172_n.jpg)
Newten Boy II "Portable" Famicom clone. 60 pin cartridge slot, second controller port, headphone jack, optional battery pack(?) and wireless TV transmission. Nice turbo controller in the shape of the original Famicom ones.
(http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/284747_2237018362426_1156991378_32679934_1460598_n.jpg)
Micro Genius IQ201 clone with a bunch of extra stuff. That light gun looks awfully similar to the original Famicom revolver (more on this later) and that orange infrared controller surely has caught my attention.
(http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/281489_2237018922440_1156991378_32679937_5523487_n.jpg)
Cosmo Tech Game Engine clone from Korea. Nice Super Famicom styling.
(http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/281410_2237019202447_1156991378_32679938_269515_n.jpg)
I surely feel like a kid in a candy shop with that much stuff to play with! :D
All of the clone systems are working, they mostly had simple problems like cold solder joints, dirty contacts and worn out controllers. The Game Engine and the Newten Boy II have been completely restored, the Micro Genius is next.
That orange wireless Famicom controller is just what I needed! Finally I can play my Famicom comfortably without being limited by its really short controller cords! ;D The contact strip on one of the switches came loose so I glued it back in place, and one of the battery covers is missing the metal tab which connects the batteries electrically. For the time a piece of tinfoil will do, while I figure out a more permanent solution. :)
The Acclaim controllers are also pending, seems they've got battery acid inside which will need to be cleaned up. :bomb:
Now if you excuse me, I'll go tinker around some more with my new toys :gamer:
Amazing consoles. If you ever want to let go of any of your clones ... :question: ;)

I only paid $8.50. It was listed as junk, but It can be fixed easily.I am going to strip it down and clean the contacts etc. I will then use one of my 3rd party nes controllers and splice the cord together to make it longer. I did this with a hori pad when I first started collecting famicom stuff.

Hello, I came across this little guy in a box of my old NES games recently. I had an adapter but I never ended up playing it. It looks like the community here knows more about Famicom games (I assume it is a Famicom game) than I do. If anyone could tell me what games are on there or anything about the game it would be appreciated. Sorry for the awkward photo. Thanks for any help.

The games on the pictures are:
Spartan X ?? ?? ??
Super Mario Bros. Battle City
It may have more than 4 unique games but certainly not as many as 700.

Quote from: 133MHz on October 01, 2011, 10:02:01 pmSpartan X ?? ?? ??I think the other one is The Legend of Kage. The label definitely suggests that it's a Supervision cart and the only one I'm aware of that claims to be a 700-in-1 has about 90 games on it. Problem is, they're all mixed in with some of the repeats. :-\
Super Mario Bros. Battle City

There's no way of knowing what games will be on that cartridge.... Every pirate multicart is like "Kinder Surprise" egg, you can buy it, plug it in your famicom and scream SURPRISE!!! and there will be one stupid game or 700 different games... nobody knows.
One thing I can recommend is that when the cartridge is heavy, it will probably contain more games, or at least one, but the one will be quite good. And the other thing, the colour of the cartridge is purple, and the purple cartridges I have are all marvelous...
check http://jpx72.detailne.sk/stuff_files/fc/carts_pirate.htm
By the way, the fourth picture on the front is most probably Legend of Kage.

Got a few new pirate FDS disks in the mail. I think there are around 260 or so, but I haven't actually counted them. :diskkun:

$23.00, which is about £15.00. The registration card is a little bent, but other than that the game and box, etc, is very good. The cart doesn't rattle like crazy either.
I prefer CIB, but that makes the hunt for games harder, and more expensive.

Got my famicom from senseiman last week and decided to do some mods,first day I got it I did the av mod then yesterday I added a longer cord.All I did was use a 3rd party gamecube controller cord as it uses 5 wires like a famicom,used a extra nes controller pcb and got to the soldering,it works pretty good I might add.

My first "genuine" multi-cart (not one of those crummy Volumerate ones) ...
Power Joy PJ-008! Bought from a fellow racketboy member, $6 shipped. He had listed it as the 52-in-1 variant, when in fact it's the 84-in-1! It also has Pandamar on it :D Too awesome.

I picked this up the other day:

Arkanoid II CIB with the black and red Vaus controller. Its a really good one.

Too many good finds lately made me jealous so I had to hoof it down to my local Hard-Off for a pretty sweet LOAD
(http://i.imgur.com/QHbJr.jpg)
Double Dragon III complete (even has the matching survey and plastic bag), Super Mario Bros. 3, Hoshi no Kirby, Star Force, Dr. Mario, Majou Densetsu II: Dai Ma Shikyou Galious, Star Luster, A Week of Garfield, Galaxian, Excitebike, Famicom Jump: Hero Retsuden, Ganbare Goemon Gaiden 2, and then the SUPERFIND, a (rather beat-up but perfectly working) Game Boy Light! This is the first I've ever seen one in person. And I picked up Kirby's Dream Land, Donkey Kong, and Wario Land for that.
(http://i.imgur.com/3kXLg.jpg)
Indiglo backlight!
Grand total for all these goodies? 2800 yen! Alarmingly, Double Dragon III was the most expensive at 630 yen, while the Game Boy Light was a delightful 420, with the other games all 105 except I think Mario 3 was 210.
Dear Hard-Off, I love you.

Oh my god, don`t get me started on those Hard Off stickers, I HATE those!
Anyway, nice finds there Lobdale! Garfield is a pretty tough one to find and a really good deal if you got it in a lot for that cheap (I`ve seen that game alone going for more than 2000 yen). Its a hard game to play and a lot of people hate it, but I quite like it. DD 3 boxed is pretty sweet too!

That does make for an interesting read!
Hard Offs are very hit and miss as a source of retro games in my experience. There are a couple in town here, but only one has retro video game stuff. Like one of the posters in that thread said, the people there have absolutely no idea what retro game stuff is worth. They are lucky because at their Hard Off that means they charge low prices for stuff. At my Hard Off it is usually the opposite - they overcharge for everything in their junk section. I've seen some of the most common Famicom, Super Famicom and Mega Drive games (baseball, soccer, Mahjong, etc) with 525 yen price tags being the standard. I did a post denouncing my local Hard Off on my blog about a year ago:
http://famicomblog.blogspot.com/2010/11/fukuoka-famicom-shops-ii-decline-and.html
They are usually a good source for loose consoles (whcih they charge a flat rate of 525 yen each for), but not for games. I haven't been back since then, maybe I'll pop in some time though just to see if they hired somebody new to do the junk section pricing!

That assemblergames thread is really amusing. But it's all true.
If anybody wonders... I think the "off" in Book-Off and Hard-Off and everything stands for cheap prices (like "XX% OFF the original price" or something like that).

Gotta love that weird hole in the top left.

I'm pretty sure Konami toyed with the idea of including a power LED on their games from Day-One, but never actually did that on any finished game. Other manufacturers did, as the FC lacks a power light, and there were even little devices that went between the console and any game that added a power indicator lamp. If you put a basic LED on the left-side of the PCB on any game, the light would have shined through the hole easily.
The only other reason would be as a bizarre aesthetic design feature, to distinguish their games from everyone else. Note that some later Konami titles have normal FC shells. :bomb:

There seems to be little that distinguishes what exactly caused Konami to choose a basic Nintendo cart or one of their special ones--they mixed the two pretty equally throughout the system lifespan. Their first games were all the "Konami cart," though mid-way through they started to mix them up. It is definitely the case that all of the "special chip" games are in Konami's own special housings.

I don't recognize most of these, and most only have Japanese names ???. But I've played a few of them so far and I'm definitely enjoying myself. Thanks Manuel, or should I thank Kai? :D

Well, Kai did the choosing, and he insisted on putting 21 carts in the box instead of 20 (for a reason I don't know...). And he gave me some really weird explanations for his choices, too. :crazy:
He also thought that King Kong was the same as Donkey Kong. ;D (He loves to play Donkey Kong Returns on the Wii.)
I'm glad you got the package!

Its actually fairly easy levels with insanely difficult boss fights. Also suffers from severe blinking pixels. oh and in the motorcycle level instead of riding a motorcycle, you ride a bunch of unfinished code. hahahaha. So overall, unless youre extremely curious, the SNES/SFC version is just fine.

BTW, that 6 in 1 cart looks pretty interesting; it seems to have been made by KaSheng if the crazy cartridge label is anything to go by. Then again, it still looks more authentic than most of their other carts. :D Also, if it's a port of Contra III then why did they call it "Sega 16 bit Contra" on the menu? Shouldn't it be "SNES 16 bit Contra" or something?

I dug a Sharp 14" TV/VCR combo out of my apartment complex garbage area today with a power cord that had been cut off at the base! Opened it up and spliced an extension cord onto it with about 50 feet of electrical tape so I have something to play games on in the spare room. Needed something for my original Famicom with the AV mod to do, since I always play with the toploader AV Fami on my good TV. Assuming I don't burn the entire apartment down, I'll enjoy many spare-room games in the months to come!

BTW, I picked up another neat Famicom thing out of their junk bin recently, the Karoke Studio controller:

Thanks! Actually I really want that Karaoke Studio CIB, the box looks fantastic.
Finding a loose music cart is going to be a pain, but I MUST sing karaoke on this thing. If I do, I make no promises but I MAY consider putting a video of myself belting out the classics with it on YouTube.

Fresh from Japan! "All Cassette" refers to "All Cassettes Released Prior to April 1990", but it's still an awesome book. Not sure if there are newer editions that have more games. If anyone has any information about it, I'd love to know more.

Forgot to post this,my friend has a super joy 3 and when he bought it years ago it came with this pirate cart with no label.
Since I have a fami he gave it to me,has some decent games on there for the most.

@Pikkon - What Country are you from? are you in the US (Or anywhere outside of Japan, Non-Asian country) and there happens to be a game store near you with a ton of famicom games? If thats the case, WOW, that rules!

Im in the Florida and yup the store I go to has a good amount of import games,they have fami,super fami,gameboy,psx and some saturn,some PS2 and one lonely mega cd game.The funny thing is Im like one of the only people who buys the import games there,most people have no idea what the hell these games are.
Next time I go there I will take a pic of there import section.

THAT is an awesome find Ugly Joe! I`ve never seen that one, does it have photos of each game in it?
Interesting piece of trivia on the cover too - 619 Famicom carts were released thru 1990!
Screenshots, a small review, and other data. I'll take some pics later.

I'm just curious how good of a deal this is. I'll admit while I know my video game history I don't know a lot about what Famicoms go for or the best way to purchase them online. I know I've been looking for years and just never had the spare cash when I saw them or I was too stingy to pay the shipping costs from Japan. This is just a starter console though.

For an eBay price, that's a clear winner! If you don't mind the cracked case, I think it's a very nice deal. I would have buy it back in the days, when my only source of gaming stuff was eBay.

Thanks, I'm glad I found this site so I can connect with other people with a passion for retro gaming like myself. I've actually been going online by the handle famicomman for over 6 years now because of my love for Nintendo's first foray into the console business, but I never got around to owning one. Now I feel like I have completed a chapter in my life and a new one begins here with buying and trading carts amongst you guys. The closest I ever got before this was owning a 20th Anniversiary GBA Micro with the Famicom Controller faceplate.

I am down in the Fort Myers/Cape Coral area. It would be like $50 bucks back and forth on a drive there + the hrs. Too bad they don't have an online store. I would definitely buy sealed NES, Famicom and SNES games if they have some at reasonable prices.

I picked up the world`s smallest Famicom yesterday:

Well, technically it isn`t a Famicom, its a memo pad. I really like it though. Put some more pics up here:

Actually I didn`t buy it at Omocha Souko where I get all my really cheap bargains, this one came out of the glass case at Mandarake, which is why it cost more. I thought I should treat myself though:)
I agree, it was well ahead of its time. Its an early version of the Virtual Boy....which came along 8 years later and itself was ahead of its time;)

Wow, boxed Rockman 6? If that didn't set you back a pretty penny you are a lucky man indeed.
If I recall correctly, it was fairly cheap, only 20 dollars, or perhaps 25. I definitely got lucky with that one.

DerZocker - thanks!
Nightstar - nice finds. Not just the Rockman 6, but Bucky O`hare is also a tough one to find boxed.
Thanks! I had always wanted that game, so I figured I might as well get it CIB since it was cheap.

Yeah, that's cheaper than it goes for in Japan now.
I got my boxed Rockman 6 for 980 Yen if I remember right. That was a nice find.

Unfortunately, although it was boxed, my Rockman 6 didn't come with instructions. :-\
And you still lead the "good finds" game by a wide margin. :'(

Famicom in that condition is hard to come by complete ! :o Only the AC adapter is not original but I have spare... (finally a reason for all those shit-heavy lumps I have had shipped)
An unused modem, though the top is missing, is still a nice accessory...
That that I'm on it, I might as well show this I won yesterday for 10 000 yen

Won this today.
Finally a square button famicom for a reasonable price (outside this forum hardly anyone wants it). I found it by accident almost...
1,480 yen
(http://img239.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/1/8/1/5/rwnkt991rwnkt991-img600x401-1327295991cxfm9517337.jpg)

The serial number on this unit (for those people who collect/record such things): H1907388
I am just as happy about the guide book and whatever that detective things is. And some decent games too: Donkey Kong, DK Math, Macross, Sqoon.. etc..
Come to think of it, would a H1907388 really be square buttoned...? If you know please reply thanks... ???

I might as well continue my momentum, maybe I can compete with senseiman, haha.
Let me know if you think I am spamming this thread.
1000 yen for this (got lucky).
Mainly the Rockman are interesting here. 1 and 6 are the rarest, but they all sell well. Hokuto No Ken is surprisingly popular, Nekketsu games are all good; however the two Magical Taruurutu Kun are not as popular as they deserve to be....

The games were from a little consignment store in Osaka at a few hundred each, the Famicom was at a bigger Osaka store with some pretty frequently changing inventory. 210 yen for a Famicom in such good shape was too good to pass up (but I still don't have an RF switch to test it with!).

That is a really neat find... if anyone is wondering, the kanji is actually "Seiken Densetsu," what would become the eventual Mana series, the first installment on Game Boy (Final Fantasy Adventure in the US) and its more popular big brother, Secret of Mana (SD2). A very cool pickup.

(http://share.cherrytree.at/showfile-5553/f1afterdragon.jpg) Those were still held hostage by the customs. I freed them yesterday*g
Family Circuit even came with a stickersheet. I'd love to use them, but i don't know a decent place yet( or if they would still work anyway^^')
Afterburner isn't as bad as i thought but it can't beat the PCE version, maybe it's my pad but the barrel rolls are lot more difficult to pull of. But it's impressive that all voice samples are in there, though. ;D *FIRE!*
BTW would anyone be able to rewrite the Suisho no Dragon disk with the english patched version?

(http://www.yamatoku.jp/img/95239927a.jpg)
Ok box is faded, but when I opened it it's all in the origianl wrapper still and has not been used at all?!?!
I can't believe I found an unused SMB for so cheap! All the parts are fresh from the factory, I should've worn gloves! :S
Also picked up a new and unused Chrono Trigger!

My order from JapanGameStock arrived Monday morning. After the shipment was in transit, I read some pretty scary posts (I think from old Assembler posts) warning that JGS sent out trashy carts, these ended up being in really nice shape, but damn was just about every cart's contacts dirty as all hell. But I don't mind doing some Q-Tip cleaning! ;)

Everyone here will tell you otherwise. Also if you specifically add a note stating you do not want carts with writing, label damage, etc. they will follow your request and If they dont have a clean cart in stock they let you know. Just say "I do not want these IF....." and they will listen. Ive said it before and Ill say it again, Assembler sucks, bunch of dolts over there, especially when it comes to Famicom.

Indeed... same for the U.S. release. At one point I saw what was supposedly a screenshot from the unreleased Armadillo 2, our hero looked quite different in it, it seems they were taking it in a different graphical style.

You don't have to clean them and they don't wear like carts do. Also there is that cool famicom disk system music and when the intro screen scrolling up it's like in a cinema. :D Except when it says "Err.

Yes, it was quite expensive, but it's the cheapest I've seen a cart only copy go for so I decided to get it out of the way.
Speaking of larger purchases, this showed up on my doorstep in the morning:

Rockman 1 is always SO expensive so I'm glad I got a lot of every regular title. :)

Made the stupidest purchase of my collecting life today. Spartan X 2 for 1500 yen.
Thats a pretty good price, but it pays to actually know what the cart you are buying is supposed to look like before paying, otherwise you will get a massively sun faded one without realizing it like me:

Basically almost every time I buy something (slightly expensive) I find the same or a better item for a cheaper price within a few days/weeks. :-[
Recently I bought an LED TV. Now I'm expecting to see the same model for like 5,000-10,000 Yen cheaper in some retailer advert. It's bound to happen! :'(

LOL, the same thing happens to me. Whenever I buy something expensive I always have buyers remorse afterwards because I usually find it for a cheaper price. I remember buying a PS2 about 10 or 11 years ago just before they announced one of their price drops.

The pink one is Adventure Island 2 (Im sure you figured that out), Red cart is Anpanman, White one is Kiteretsu Daihyakku, and the green cart is a really shitty game thats name slips my mind.....

It must never be touched...
I simply saw it for a good price and picked it up with some leftover paypal credit. Need to get the Gyro set in the same condition now I guess.
I never use any of the NIB hardware I get. I only have a few bits left to get until I've got it all. Then I can start getting (and playing) more games I suppose...

Well, there are a couple of things I know I won't get in NIB condition - such as a square button famicom and probably the Sharp famicoms.
A few things like the HK famicom I'll pick up used
Obviously, I'm not after getting NIB FamicomBox or Sharp C1, I'm basically just after anything that was available through retail.
So far, I think this is what I have left:
When the above list is complete, I'll go ahead and send my AV mod famicom to TEA 4 TWO for the works, something I've put off because it's expensive to get a complete service and upgrade on all parts.
A few things like the HK famicom I'll pick up used
Obviously, I'm not after getting NIB FamicomBox or Sharp C1, I'm basically just after anything that was available through retail.
So far, I think this is what I have left:
Spoiler
- Doremiko (waiting for a reasonably priced one)
- Exciting Boxing (trying to convince a seller to no avail to let me have one of his NIB!)
- Famicom Modem / Famicom Network System
- Famicom Robot Gyro set (got this now)
- Famicom Power Pad (actually I might have this - need to check)
- Basic V3 (counts as hardware to me)
- Famicom Titler (you can find these new but I'm waiting for prices to go back down, if they ever do)
- Gun set with holster
- Famicom System Rack (by Hudson soft - forgot to add)
- Anpanman tablet (got this now)
I think that's it. I'm also after a new JP Gameboy, a new Virtual Boy and a new N64 maybe.
I have a few new Game & Watches and older systems, like the Racing 112 and Block Kuzushi, but Famicom's my priority.
There are also some 3rd party controllers etc. that I'm not necessarily bothered about, but I pick up new if I see them.
If people have any of the above items open to sale or offers feel free to let me know, but I'm not cash rich right now and I'm only ever looking to pick up items for a good price, so haven't asked before for that reason.
I don't like it when people say they're actively looking for something, then proceed to lowball a silly offer.
I have some cool items for trade, such as the Nintendo Europe gold Zelda statue that people might be interested in, as well as a pristine FamicomStation among others.

Nice! I just got the 3D system myself a couple months ago, I think it is one of the better Famicom accessories. Or at least it would have been if it didn`t give you headaches and they had more than 7 or 8 games to play with it!! Still a great find CIB like that! ;D

Manuel - I think you have this and am hoping you can help answer my manual question :D
If anyone else know, please pipe up!
[UPDATE] This listing doesn't have it, plus I forgot to say that it's more of a sales sheet / sales brochure than a manual...

L E T - According to the cover that is an `official strategy guide`, so it was probably sold seperately from the game originally.

Well, I traded in a couple crappy games, so I ended up getting it for just under $25 dollars. I love the Rockman series, and the original just happens to be my favorite of the original 6. (Though I haven't met anyone who shares this preference...)
And wow, having it CIB would be marvelous. I imagine that would set you back quite a bit.

A mega man collecting friend of mine, who has every almost Mega Man game released CIB, also likes mega man 1 best because it is shortest...
I think I like the first game for the Game Boy best, because it is brutal. Most people quit on the first stage.
You have Japanese retoro stores in Seattle?

Yeah, I remember playing Mega Man 1 on Game Boy... it was tough. The final boss really pissed me off, but after much time I beat it.
As for why I like MM1 on FC/NES the best... I think it's the bosses. I don't know, for some reason they're my favorite set of Robot Masters.

I'm happy, I've had it three times more than senseiman. :D Asking price was 25$ at first, raised to 33$ last time. Sold quickly. ;D It's hardly as rare as, say, Lickle or Hebereke, but it happens to be the most rare of the rockman games.
Found it in a this package. ;)

I mainly grabbed my 3d glasses as they were new and incredibly cheap. I see them on eBay for $100 and it makes me wonder why people are asking so much for them, and if people are really buying them at that price? I think someone must have found a stash of new/unsold stock somewhere as I've seen them pop up all over the place of late.
The 3D effect isn't that great and there's only 6 games that support it, but they are a nice collectors item and people are always fascinated by them. Love using them on the SEGA Master System though, they're more comfortable and a lot cheaper/easier to obtain than the SEGA branded ones.

A mega man collecting friend of mine, who has every almost Mega Man game released CIB, also likes mega man 1 best because it is shortest...
I think I like the first game for the Game Boy best, because it is brutal. Most people quit on the first stage.
You have Japanese retoro stores in Seattle?
There are actually several stores that sell retro Japanese games in Seattle, including two that specialize in it (Pink Gorilla). Not the best prices, but cool to see that stuff for sale.

Were people that stupid, or was it more like people expected to be fooled and wouldn't want it any other way, like we expect stuff to say they will last a life time and make us healthier, stronger and sexier. :P

I see, this host sucks! :( never use it again.
I supplied Kinaman with the stuff he needed for his flicks, though he lives thousand kms from me ;D
He's good at making flicks, and I have necessary carts, so why don't help him.
I think, using the real carts is a good idea, because there are tons of retro game reviews on youtube recorded from the PC emulators. This is a boring thing.
here is my little joy of a day:

Zelda - Adventure of Link on a Famicom cart.
PCB is piratish but it has Nintendo chips and it's a pirate cart case, it's really an oddity.

Where is your flag from, if I should ship it? ::)
You could use the eject slider from any famicom, not necessarily square button?
My colleague may have eject sliders; I don't think he would be too expensive, maybe you have other junk parts some other time? Send me a PM and I'll get you in contact with him.

It was... but only on disk. So what's significant about this is that it's one of those FDS to cart conversions, however it comes with a really snazzy box and manual.

Yeah it was made by a guy in Japan, not mass produced a-la most pirate carts you see in Asia.

That Castlevania cart is just a pirate that someone de-shelled, put in a Konami style shell, or did this guy figure out how to reproduce FDS titles to cart?
Really top notch work, I had a few FDS ports like that at one point in time..
Stupid expensive though......

Quote from: 80sFREAK on May 23, 2012, 12:40:10 amQuotegold PooyanPCB's photo requested
I request them too! I'll crack her open as soon as it arrives. One thing that grabs my attention is the offset printing of the colors on the front label, I'd think that a pirate would be using a scan and not individual printing plates per color. However, the back of the cart has no indentation for the back label, nor does the back label have the Family Computer text followed by a number on the bottom. We can't compare the crispness being that one is a scan and the other is not.
A standard Pooyan cart weighs 1.6Oz/0.5kg.
I'm sure I overpaid for this one, but I love Pooyan so much that I'm OK with the probable pirate status. Auction stated that it was 100% authentic. We'll see...
I can't find any info when searching in Japanese text for "gold pooyan famicom".
The cart is coming from a seller in Japan.
Edit:
The top is a high res scan of an original cart, the bottom is the gold auction photo. While it's not fair to compare a scan to an auction photo, I think many details still stand out.
Strongly leaning towards pirate, but being printed offset I can't really nit-pick about the blurred fine details. The gold cart has much thicker black lines all around. Kind of cool how the gold cart has a black border around the English Pooyan text with the hanging wolf, while the retail cart has none. The worm in the tree also has less shaped body lines and a less curved smile. Can't really compare labels up close until I can scan the gold cart, but by that time we can can compare PCBs too. A fun lil' purchase.
In the worst case scenario, there's no shame in a cool pirate. :)

Its just a pirate cart of Pooyan. There was never a "Gold Edition" and if there was it would be gold chrome like every other gold Famicom cart, not that dull-piratey gold. The label is also WAYYYY to crooked for a Famicom label. I mean dont get me wrong every so often a label can be SLIGHTLY (emphasis on slightly) crooked, that label is super off centered! As well as the back label being a total fake (It has square corners, all official carts are rounded corners, as well as the info already stated above)...I can also see what looks like the top seams of the two shell halves do not line up perfectly....typical pirate cart. Hope you did not overpay too much....
EDIT: and as far as the front label, they do not always use scans and can easily make high quality printed labels, so I wouldnt even consider this a contributing factor to if its real or not, judging by the differences, they tried to make an exact copy but its not 100% exact. They probably started off with everything having a black border (Why Pooyan in English has a border on this pirate) so that way they would know where to place the color correctly when it came to add the color to the labels..

Yeah, you're completely correct. It was one of those "Buy it Now" auctions, and at first glance the cart shell and label looked correct, but the back of the cart was fishy. However, I saw that the hand-writing on the back label was Japanese Hiragana and thus was originally owned by a Japanese person. I took the plunge(Belly-Flop) at about $45 shipped, considering that I can't really ask this board, "Hey, is this rare?" without someone buying it up fast if it indeed was. What if it was a gold plated Rockman 4 cart, and I had asked about it? One thing's for sure is that it wouldn't be in my possession after posting about it.
I still think it's a wonderful pirate to add to my collection, and I admit that I took a quick gamble and lost. Since At first the front label looked original to me, I would have lost sleep had I not taken the chance if it was something special. You win some and you lose some. :)

Ah, You bought it from the jackass that charges $90.00 for Disk System pirates......Id ask for a portion of the money returned (You paid about 10x what this cart is actually worth), link him to this thread, and threaten to report him for selling bootleg items as originals.
I also love how he has best offer options, but he only ever responds with 0.10 to 0.50 cents off, yeah, thanks asshole. Hes one of my most hated ePay sellers.

Yesterday I found a keyboard Famiclone at my usual flea market for $2, after ages of not finding anything Famicom related.
(https://133fsb.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/glk_box_front.jpg?w=600) (https://133fsb.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/glk_box_front.jpg)
It's a Gold Leopard King GLK-6303, but the Chinese hilariously translated everything to Spanish, even the name which now renders as "King Of Leopard". "New type of computer" "Entertain and study, Study and entertain". Who could resist? ;D
Of course it's not complete without pictures of games which aren't for this system on the sides of the box:
(https://133fsb.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/glk_box_sides.jpg?w=600) (https://133fsb.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/glk_box_sides.jpg)
I noticed a price tag on the side of the box, it's from a local department store chain, I didn't know these were sold in such places until now, at about 20 US dollars according to the tag (CLP$ 9990). It must've been from 2005-2006 or so.
(https://133fsb.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/glk_pricetag.jpg?h=400) (https://133fsb.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/glk_pricetag.jpg)
This is what it came with, not too shabby for $2. Yes that is a random LG cell phone car charger. ::)
(https://133fsb.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/glk_1.jpg?w=600) (https://133fsb.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/glk_1.jpg)
I like it because of its reduced footprint. Other keyboard clones come with an absolutely useless numeric keypad, this one is just right in my opinion. No Windows key though, well you can't have everything! :P
(https://133fsb.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/glk_2.jpg?w=600) (https://133fsb.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/glk_2.jpg)
(https://133fsb.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/glk_3.jpg?w=600) (https://133fsb.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/glk_3.jpg)
It claimed to have an RF out port on the back, but as you can see above (and below) the RF modulator circuit is completely unpopulated!
(https://133fsb.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/glk_psu_orig.jpg?w=600) (https://133fsb.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/glk_psu_orig.jpg)
(https://133fsb.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/glk_psu_bottom.jpg?w=600) (https://133fsb.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/glk_psu_bottom.jpg)
I've added a jumper wire to convert the useless RF jack into another audio output, so I don't have to use a splitter when connecting it to a stereo TV or receiver.
The lack of solder on the unpopulated pads tells me that these are assembled and soldered by hand by Chinese women and children in sweatshops, if it was done on a wave soldering machine even the empty solder pads would have solder in them.
That 'voltage regulator' is simply a joke. It's a textbook example of a zener-pass transistor regulator but using the crappiest components they could find, that puny PNP transistor can barely handle 100mA. If I were to plug in the FDS RAM adapter into this clone, that regulator would blow up in less than 20 seconds, and even in normal conditions it runs way too hot because of that power wasting resistor. I intend to use this clone for tinkering so I replaced that joke of a regulator with a real 7805 equipped with a small heatsink:

Works much better and gets barely warm now. :)
Overall it's a pretty good clone. Video quality is more than decent: color saturation is about right and minimum jailbars. Sound doesn't have the swapped duty cycle bug, but the triangle/noise channel is a bit too loud and distorts a little - I guess both sound channels are bridged together inside the NoAC without mixing resistors, I haven't really checked that. Will test problematic games later. ;)

It's a Gold Leopard King GLK-6303, but the Chinese hilariously translated everything to Spanish, even the name which now renders as "King Of Leopard". "New type of computer" "Entertain and study, Study and entertain". Who could resist? ;D
Of course it's not complete without pictures of games which aren't for this system on the sides of the box:

I noticed a price tag on the side of the box, it's from a local department store chain, I didn't know these were sold in such places until now, at about 20 US dollars according to the tag (CLP$ 9990). It must've been from 2005-2006 or so.

This is what it came with, not too shabby for $2. Yes that is a random LG cell phone car charger. ::)

I like it because of its reduced footprint. Other keyboard clones come with an absolutely useless numeric keypad, this one is just right in my opinion. No Windows key though, well you can't have everything! :P

It claimed to have an RF out port on the back, but as you can see above (and below) the RF modulator circuit is completely unpopulated!

I've added a jumper wire to convert the useless RF jack into another audio output, so I don't have to use a splitter when connecting it to a stereo TV or receiver.

Also CaH4e3 got one recently. Is it really that rare?
is all of your guys the actual FDS port or the US "Ultra" games version? Id still say its that rare. that only makes 15 documented carts I know of and only 5 FDS version(If in fact everyone posted here is the FDS version, the ultra games version is super common...both versions have the same label).

I would like to thank whatever anonymous member spoke up for me about the "MegaRare Pooyan Gold cart". The seller has not only refunded my money, but is sending me the game for free.
I have purchased from this seller in the past and have had no problems, however I find myself a bit passive when issues arise. Somebody here messaged the seller and saved me from a $44.99 mistake, and I thank them.

The Mail-Lady dropped this off today.
The cover is quite deceptive, there are no sexy female characters in this game showing off hawt upskirt badminton action. As a matter of fact, there are no female characters AT ALL.
You have the option to select male or female, but the sprites are the same either way. Maybe this option is for difficulty level (Normal for male, easy for your female sister?)
What this game lacks in sexism, it makes up for in pure manliness. What manliness you say? Badminton, AKA the sport of the Titans. Chuck Norris holds no candle to this 8-bit shuttle-cock action.
okay...Never the less, this is a very fun Fami-sports game that you don't see boxed & complete all that often. :)

I stand corrected. I have played this game in the past via emulation, and whether I choose girl or boy, I always get boy sprites. I just played on my new physical cart for the first time today, and there are both girl and boy sprites (albeit the girl sprites do look similar to the boy sprites, but with a dress and a ponytail).
Can anyone here confirm that there are no girl sprites on the Rom, or am I the only one encountering this problem? Possible that the dump is incomplete? For reference, I'm running fceux-2.1.5-win32 and have not encountered any issues with other games. Even on the "Super Naked Badminton" hack I only see boy sprites. I still can't figure out why anybody made this hack, lol.
Edit: I see that this YouTube reviewer has the same problem:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPnX3-JQzfE&t=28m6s
Here's the girl sprites from my cart:
Can anyone confirm if you can successfully select the girl sprite on the roms when loaded onto something like the PowerPak?

Thats because you received the later release of the game when they actually went back to fix the boy on boy sprites and put in some female details. Its not a ROM problem or Cart problem. First edition releases all use the boy sprite. The last edition release was corrected to include male/female. Your version is actually 1000x rarer then the first edition and is quite a unique/semi-valuable release. Really no telling what version you get unless you ask the seller to test it, you lucked out. :D

Wow, that's insane. I guess my new addition did qualify as a "find" then. :)
This still doesn't explain why somebody made a Naked hack of the all boy version. Hahaha.
Where did you hear about these different releases, I can't find any info on this girl version? Also, Is there a rom dump of the girl version?
I'm going to make a high res scan of my box and cart to see if I can compare/notice any difference from cart pics on the net.
Update: well, the back of my box shows one screenshot with female characters. Are all boxes like this?

I dont think there is a ROM dump.
The information was on a Spanish guys page who had a ton of variants, Ill see if I can dig it up. Not sure about the back of the boxes. I have the all boy version of the game, and the second copy I had was the all boy version. :-[ This was either a mid or late revision, All of the first print carts which was the most mass produced run of this game, are the boy version, Im not positive how rare it is, but it is certainly less common than the first print.
...and as far as the Naked hack goes....peoiple have done worse....super KKK Bros, Skinhead Fighter, MegaFag, Baby Maker, etc...

Got most of them from a local retro shop that had a $4.99 and under Famicom basket for a whopping $20 total. Except for Punch Out, which I got from Lee Yo.

$5 for Double Dragon is a pretty great deal, I'd say you got your money out of the rest at worst. Star Soldier is a classic.

My girlfriend got me my first real famicom for my birthday yesterday.
It's already been modded for AV, it has some jailbar issues which I'll eventually get round to fixing but at the moment I'mn just happy to play it!

Great! Mine has the same issues - please let me know where/when you get it tweaked as I need to do the same.
I was going to send it off to TEA4TWO and have them run all their services, but never got round to it due to the cost.

If you ever change your mind on the TEA4TWO, I highly recommend it. The quality of work is fantastic. I've got a couple original famis modded for A/V, official A/V famicoms and Sharp Twins.. the video is great on the tea.
They even supplied the famicom console for me. I had it fully decked out with almost every option they offered.

I honestly don't recall the total cost. In addition I had a middleman proxy service order, receive and ship it to me so it's a more on top of that.
If you didn't have to sacrifice a playchoice or titler for a PPU, I'd be all up for an RGB unit.... however I just can't bring myself to cannibalize one for such a mod.

Well, agree with the price or not (haters gonna hate, lol j/p)... but this is what you get:
1) Whitened console
2) New PPU filter
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/jviloria/AAA_A_FAMICOM/ITEM-TEA4PPU.jpg)
3) A/V Amp

4) A/V Kit

5) Simulated Stereo sound ("3D" sound)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/jviloria/AAA_A_FAMICOM/ITEM-EALA3D.jpg)
6) Longer controller cords

7) Compact power adapter

The only thing I skipped out on were the turbo buttons (I think they look ugly)

Of course you can mix and match options to whatever configuration you like to reduce cost. You can order the kits and install it yourself to save a some money too.

I'd go for the works like you did, but with the ugly Turbo switches.
I wouldn't want the PPU though anyway, plus I don't agree with sabotaging Titlers like that, they;'re rare enough as it is.
Besides, I have emulators to play if I want those visuals, I actually prefer the plain AV mod. It baffles me that some hardcore guys detest emulators but then make all sorts of mods only for them to look just the same. Games were designed with graphics to played on a CRT, not to appear how a PC renders them. You go too sharp and you're actually moving away from how these games were originally intended, just like an emulator. So, it's hypocrisy in that sense to me.
Well anyway I'll get saving for this. IsSo I can plan ahead - is that price inclusive of the Famicom?
I have an AV-mod Famicom already that I could send to them, or sell on and start anew if that made more sense?

It's more labour cost than just the parts, which are still relatively expensive in kit form probably down to small runs.
Add in all the shipping fees etc. and I can see how it would end up that high. Crazy really, as you could buy a brand new famicom for that, but it won't be as good.
I really want one.

Holy shit... got into a bidding war there. But still, think the price is good... whatcha think, fellas?
http://page8.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/h165276107
The Namco set is only missing Vol. 15 and 18 (Super Chinese/Skykid - otherwise complete!!) and look at that DKJ Math, Popeye, Mario Bros, Chack'n Pop, Ikki, Antarctic Adventure etc... I'm still full of adrenalin. Thought I wouldn't win this unique set cause I was bidding against another proxy :'(
Never thought I'd own a boxed silver box Popeye. What a night (I set the alarm for 4:15am and it got extended by 15min total... gawwd) :star:

Id say you over paid by quite a lot.....majority of those games are the most common titles you can possibly find and they are nowhere near mint condition (popeye and DK Jr. are the only real gems there....but the condition of the boxes is not good). 43, 600 yen equals $549.86 USD. Personally I wouldnt have paid more than $200-250 for that lot, and thats pushing it.

Definitely not re-packaged pirates. Also by what images he's processed (ex: arcade version gradius, all nippon smb, strider, etc), it's clear that these aren't from what you find in Taiwan.
LOL
Tell me the last time you saw a chinese/taiwanese pirate of arcade version gradius hack, all night nippon smb, strider, etc?

$200-250 for this set is not quite realistic, even if it was just for the Namco games alone. I don't know where you buy your stuff, but finding all the Namco volumes in condition as good as this is a pricy endeavor on Yahoo. Find me a Dig Dug 2 and BurgerTime under $40 each :P
The boxed Popeye is almost impossible to find in mint condition and if you do, it'll 30'000+ yen. I wouldn't call Ninja-kun, Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, Ikki Chack'n Pop and Antarctic Adventure "most common", they are not easy to find in this condition or at least they'll cost a pretty penny.

I know a seller who used to produce (or reproduce) boxes for pirates games and was sometimes putting new labels and was buying all carts loose from Taiwan. Also my guess is that ANN is based off the unfinished romhack. Also there's a ton of FDS port that have been bought recently from Taiwan by some japanese dude. Like Zanac, CastleVania and others ;) Maybe i am wrong. But it could be guessed with picture of boards.

speculation works both ways doesn't it?
Zanac, Castlevania... yes those are more common to see on pirates. All Night Nippon? Yeah uh huh...
That's like saying the repro Nicoru that forum member here PARODIUS DUH had was just another repackaged expensive pirate... I'd say he would have some words to say on that, LOL.
Don't have them on hand yet though, I have all my yahoo japan auction winnings stock piling in the proxy service japan and usa warehouse. Waiting til I get about 100 or so auctions finished up before I issue the shipment request (saves some shipping money).

I suppose for a collector it is not too much. Were you really looking for all those games?
I once sold Dig Dug II boxed for 15$, though in a quite bad condition.
But as I said, for a collector it's not too bad. Personally I wouldn't have paid more than 10,000 yen. And then I might end up selling some of the games back to Japan. ;D :-[

I stand by it. They do not look to be in nice condition, judging by the picture posted. They all look used, have worn out corners, spider web creases, probably worn out flaps, etc. etc..
$250, yeah, I can get all that stuff for about that price in that condition direct from Japan.

That's like saying the repro Nicoru that forum member here PARODIUS DUH had was just another repackaged expensive pirate... I'd say he would have some words to say on that, LOL.
Don't have them on hand yet though, I have all my yahoo japan auction winnings stock piling in the proxy service japan and usa warehouse. Waiting til I get about 100 or so auctions finished up before I issue the shipment request (saves some shipping money).
.
Yeah, these carts that stealthlurker is picking up are repro conversions made by a single guy who is producing 1-2 of each game. They are NOT repackaged pirates. Its possible to transfer fds games to cart yourself, hence why thenesdump.com is now selling Miracle of Almana carts- he paid a guy to figure out how to transfer the game from disk to cart.

My girlfriend got me my first real famicom for my birthday yesterday.
It's already been modded for AV, it has some jailbar issues which I'll eventually get round to fixing but at the moment I'mn just happy to play it!
That's a sweet girlfriend.

Just ordered 'Sanrio Carnival' for the Famicom for her!

I stand by it. They do not look to be in nice condition, judging by the picture posted. They all look used, have worn out corners, spider web creases, probably worn out flaps, etc. etc..
$250, yeah, I can get all that stuff for about that price in that condition direct from Japan.
Sounds like an amazing deal, why don't you buy it?
Maybe if you seek loose carts it's easy, but if you want this stuff boxed then it's an entirely different story. I am always watching boxed Famicom stuff on YAJ and while I know that 43k does not sound like a bargain, I think it's a good price.
I've been collecting CIB Famicom games off YAJ for around 4 years now which is enough for me to judge that your $250 is way too low for these boxed games, even if the games are not mint. But I have not received them yet, so maybe they're in better shape than assumed. They look pretty nice on the pictures though, especially considering their age of 25-28 years.

Misc. finds but have not seen these before in my japan flea market hunts over the last 2 years. Happy I got Goof Troop CIB. Never saw a loose cart so this was good to see. Then the famicom network controller...I dont have the rest but for 100yen or $1 I bought it. Definitely a cool controller and Have it next to my hori famicom controller and 3D system :)

Nice heads up, I see them pop up on Yahoo Japan from time to time. A boxed one floats around 10k Yen.
Would like to eventually pick one up someday, but there are others higher on my want list. ;)

L_E_T, I think you could have put that in Auction board ;)
Also I guess it uses a special mapper and it's always much much much better to have something in original form (and it is boxed with manual)

Please delete if it's a problem, I'll remember it for next time though.

Really? Cause I've used them for 2 years and this is the first problem. I've tracked down and visited close to all of them in tochigi, saitama and Tokyo.
Is the famicom network hard to come by? Guessing yj has it but I'm more of a go to stores and find new things like a treasure hunt :) like I got 2 weeks ago Mickey 3 for sfc mislabeled for 100 yen when it's really a 900-1700yen game :) without box. Bought it as a duplicate or to be sold later

Don't get me wrong, I go to Hardoff from time to time but it's more of a gamble with them than most places. They use those atrocious stickers that are impossible to get off if they've been on too long and a lot of times they'll even tape up the sides of CIB games at certain ones. You just don't always know what you're gonna get.
I have a Famicom Network System with the controller and a JRA horse racing card, think I got it for about 700 yen on YJA cause I was gonna write an article about it then never did.

I also find Hard Off to be hit and miss, at least with the junk section stuff. I`ve had a few things that I thought were CIB only to find missing manuals or badly damaged carts sitting inside the nice boxes.
And boy do I ever hate those price tags too!!! >:( A trip to Hard Off usually can be broken down like this:
30 minutes: Ride out to Hard Off
45 minutes: Looking around the store, checking all the bins for anything I want to buy. Making purchases.
30 minutes: Ride back home
6 Hours 48 minutes: Peeling tiny bits of stubborn Hard Off price tags off the fronts of carts. Cursing as I do so.

Some sticker can be removed with the use of alcohol and much patience, but when they put the sticker directly on a cardboard Famicom box and then plaster a layer or two of sturdy clear tape over it, then it's virtually impossible to remove that sticker without damaging the box.
Let's face it, in terms of price stickers, Hard-Off employees are morons.

Poor hard off. I've run into the box problem before but usually on carts the sticker is on the back. Haven't dealt with a front one yet :) some I've visited also put them in bags then put a sticker on that!

Won another sweet FDS to famicom cart conversion with all the bells n whistles. Never thought I'd find this one.

For the prices that that guy charges for one of these things you could buy a few disk systems and a couple copies of the original game.

True, but I already have the original stuff. In some cases, multiple times over.

Awesome dude! That looks great, Im glad you found a copy! Now all you need is Meikyuu Jiin Dababa. ;)
Also in case you were interested, thenesdump.com is offering repros of Miracle of Almana (Almana No Kiseki), its the Translated version but I dont see any reason why he couldnt put the Japanese original ROM on a Famicom cart. Hes done some Famicom stuff for me in the past, just gotta ask him.

It depends. The cheapest I have seen is about 5000 yen (60 dollars) for a loose copy in bad condition. The most expensive is 63,000 (750$) for a nice CIB copy.
That is just for the rare `Kung Fu` variation. Spartan X is much cheaper, usually in the 500-1000 yen range.

That's the special "present" edition, which is very rare.

ah okay, thanks. It could be empty I suppose, but let's hope it's not... The seller said it was only five games actually but hope he is wrong...
Please do let us know when your package arrives, very misleading seeing the actual disk in the "pencil case" or whatever you call it.

I did find a loose disk today just in case, to complete the set. :)

I got a cheap Dragon Quest IV from Ebay in today for an experiment. I wanted to see if I could put an English rom on it, kind of like a Repro but translating an actual cartridge instead of using a donor. It works!

Yeah, working the quick grips is a process that is not gentle, but you just have to know how much pressure it usually takes. It definitely takes practice on a few scrap carts at first.
It's not as easy as the youtube tutorials make it out to be (takes more pressure than one would think), so I still only open Famicom carts if I have a real reason to above the common "PCB Pics" Requests. :)
I've never been a fan of using a screwdriver for help, prying the edges carefully still slightly leaves minor but obvious scratch marks of tampering. You just need to get the pressure right so you can pop one side open by hand, after that it's smooth sailing.

I was browsing Yahoo Auctions today and there was a huge lot of gaming stuff. Not even included in the title but buried in the description was a mention that there were a few games thrown in. I was pretty shocked when I looked at the photo. Its a bit grainy but get a load of the CIB stuff being `thrown in`:
(http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i470/Seanofjapan/CIBfamicomstuff.jpg)
Definitely somebody who knows absolutely nothing about games selling it. Very reasonable buy it now price and shipping. I should have them early next week sometime!

Couldn't help but snap it up, even though I already have Mike Tyson's Punch-Out too.

Thanks lobdale,
Yeah, they are pretty hard to find. Mandarake in town here for all their great selection only has a few of these Namco games and they all have a fair bit of wear (and hefty price tags). I think I was pretty lucky with the lot as I only had a couple other people bidding against me and it wasn`t clear from the photos or description that they were in this good condition.

Not quite a holy grail but a pretty hard to find game nonetheless. Also now currently the most expensive Famicom game I have ever purchased, though I got it for a fair bit less than what it goes for on Ebay.

I absolutely love those CIB games for the Family Trainer. I have them all loose but now am thinking of getting some complete ones.
Those Korean games are awesome too. I was in Seoul last year and I really wanted to find some old school Korean Famicom stuff while I was there, but they changed their power grid in the 1990s, which instantly rendered all home electronics produced in the 1980s and before useless so retro game stuff from the Famicom era seems to be quite rare there (and thus I came home empty handed).

Woo-hoo, Just scored a Family Adaptor! Darn thing cost me more than an AV Famicom console, but I look forward to playing around with it when it arrives. I always wanted to play an FDS on an unmodded NES! :D

Why this is so expensive , Is it different than any other adaptor,i remember in the 90s peoples use that kind of adaptors on Super NES style 72 pin clones for playing common pirate Famicom games.

But it's better than buying this overpriced novelty game.
Will we see it on eBay some day? WOW - rare.

Yeah, it's fake, hence the "yaaaaarrrrr" comment. I didn't have a decent scan of the label and was too lazy to do much editing in Photoshop. I have no intention of selling it, if I were to sell one I'd make it really obvious that it wasn't real, like using a different color shell and a completely different label. Or, (preferably,) just make an NES cart out of it.
I mean, hell, when crappy bootlegs of the game still sell for 30-40 bucks, I might as well make my own.

You think $15 is too expensive? I bought it locally from Australia, from a guy. He has one left at that price.
Where did you get yours from and for how much, if you don't mind me asking?

I paid $30 from a seller in Canada. Box was a little nicer but still... There are also some new ones sold on eBay for $60.
Ignore them, they're the greay ones and everyone seems to want the gold.

I don't think $30 is a bad price all things considered. $60 is a bit steep though, I'd rather grab a Famicom console for that money.
I wasn't really after one myself, but it popped up and at $15 it was too hard to let slip by, especially being new/boxed.

Well its all about being happy overall not just about the cash, so you made the right choice. :)

"Don't use that crappy famiclone, use THIS crappy famiclone" is what I think is being said in that video.

(http://distilleryimage4.s3.amazonaws.com/45ec82b8f84311e1b8031231380e76c6_7.jpg)
I have one stashed away somewhere, but this one's new and boxed and is one of my favourite multicarts so I didn't want to pass it up.
I was also jealous to see MWK's cart, then I realised mine has it on too. I'd still love a standalone cart of it though!

We're all family here, of course I don't mind :)
I paid £30 shipped. I don't think it's necessarily worth that much, I already have one - but I've never seen a boxed one let alone a new one so I just decided to go for it. JC got me a black one some tears back for a bit less and also got me a Rockman 6-in-1, but I can't find it :(
The photo is all blurred, here are the games on it:
- Mario Bros.
- SMB 1
- SMB 2J
- SMB 3
- SMB USA
- SMB 4 (Rock & Ball Mario) - I think this is an Armadillo hack
- Baby Mario (Bio Miracle)
- Doctor Mario
- Mickey Mouse
- Bowling
Not sure why they stuck Mickey and Bowling on there. I'll check it out tonight and see how it works. Normally I don't open new stuff but it's a pirate so I don't think it matters giving it a test. I'm also interested to see what version of SMB2J it is. Probably the poorer version.

Hey! I have the same paper windowed case for one of my pirates too! Very nice to see one of these again. I got mine when I was ...10! Never seen another one since!
(here are the labels of my cart that was inside the case (one of my oldest carts dated back to the first half of the nineties):

About 250-ish... but that's due to middleman fees, triple shipping costs and of course the bad yen to dollar exchange rate.

My local retro game store decided to carry Famicom imports. Being a regular customer, I got the call as soon as they got them in today. I got a chance to go over them all and grab the ones I was most interested in, and talk to the them about the others including which were the ones that would probably appeal to most people and sell well. They gave me some great pricing for helping them out, and I hope it goes really well for them so they order more. Here are my finds, 40 in all:

No, it's just a local store. They are going to be ordering more, but I'd say there is probably 20 or so good titles left that I didn't grab since I already had them.
If you have a list of things you want I could try to see if they have anything for you the next time I am there.

That's really nice to see. Famicom in inexpensive and nice to sell. But it's important to try and stack on good games. No one will buy the crap, so they should put in in a $1 bin or so.
Arctic is a bit rare. I haven't had that game yet actually. And I don't know the greenest one.

That is a pretty nice looking pirate. I'd play through the game myself just to hear that awesome ending music. Is it stolen from another game?

It originally came from Colorful Dragon (title screen) by the same composer. But it was improved a lot for SMW.

When the SMW NES is so popular, why nobody cared to make a repro of it? CaH4e3 did a dump in 2005 http://cah4e3.shedevr.org.ru/dumping_2005.php and Nestopia says "maper 90" on this thing. I believe there are people that can crack this game to work on some more common mapper, after that a repro will be really easy to do...

I didn't realise they were so rare, it seems like it could have been popular, especially with the license but maybe it was stupidly priced when it came out or something.

According to Family Computer 1983-1994, the list price was 13800 yen :o
As a point of reference, the Famicom itself was listed at 14800 yen.
The other Anpanman game for it, Anpanman no Hiragana Daisuki, was 6800 yen (which wasn't unreasonable for a FC game).

So did the other AnpanMan game come wiht the tablet too - or just on its own?
Yeah it is crazy expensive for the time, moves it out of the realm of a kids toy, which is essentially what it is of course.

Thanks! Let me know how you get on! I have a loose copy I want to use for that, been playing Gargoyle's Quest on Gameboy and it's just so good.
I wish they'd make more like they did with Rockman 9 and 10. Maybe I could mod it and get somewhere with it that way.

Sorry about that guy's. I've never experienced that before, It was weird I could open up all other threads except for this one after I posted.

Some recent finds, all games like new, I've been looking for a pristine Mother for aaaaages.
Had Akumajou Densetsu CIB already but couldn't believe the condition on these so made a batch purchase.

i can't see any problem with ROM swapping on donor's board. Also SL-ROM is pretty cheap and widely common donor's board. Nothing special at all.

I don't see any problem with buying carts on ebay, yahoo or even flee market. so what?
I think this topic is about sharing the joy mostly.
Moreover, not much people know this game and I don't see many repros around me.

Finding this new though after so long looking has encouraged me to find the last few pieces of the hardware range new. I don't think I'll ever find a brand new square famicom, but I'm ok with that. The difficult part will now be finding the three variations of the Network Adaptor I think. As well as the Exciting Boxing pack.

Yup, got all the bits and unused which was hard to find. I got the smaller gun box brand new about four years ago but this was a lot harder to find. When I first started collecting famicom I saw one new and unused online but I thought it was overpriced and bought a new famicom instead. The next month it was gone, so I like to think this might even be the same one.

Joe, what a steal. Moon Crystal is going for sick money lately, and it is a great game!
L_E_T, finest looking Gun set I have seen. Holster and everything is completely badass! Makes the Zapper look soooooo weak. What is the trigger like? Does it "snap" like a Zapper, or is it more like a VS. arcade gun? How heavy is it? Any imprinted markings, like copyright date?

Got Golden Game 260-in-1 from a comrade, locally. Probably the heaviest multicart I own. I swear I was able to strengthen my biceps just by putting this cart in my Famicom.

After finally picking up an almost-new copy of Golf, my Tiny Box original Famicom set (all 16!) is finished. All are boxed and complete, no missing box flaps or any serious cosmetic damage. DK Jr. Math was undoubtedly the hardest/most expensive to find.

Now you just need Devil World :)
It is a pulseline cart that bridges the gap to the silver boxes line. There were two cart versions of Devil World, the second featuring the art on the box (on the cart label).

Nope, there was never a Tiny Box release of Devil World. (I know there is a pulse cart and art cart, but they were all in the same silver boxes. Anyway I have the silver box Devil World but it's not part of the Tiny Box set so NOT HERE nope.)

Fair point - if you're going for the boxes it doesn't make as much sense, I always think of the pulse lines for the cart labels. Will you try and get the Silver box games now? I have the pulse line set CIB now but there are some toughies to find for the silver box.
[UPDATE]
It arrived, figured I'd cover where I got to:
(http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/L___E___T/4789CF22-4F49-48FC-A2F4-E42469F18472-320-0000009237FFACF1_zps5afb93ca.jpg)
Nice box, but the board is much nicer:

I went for the version with the USB connector because it was only a little more and I figured I might miss it in future and if I ever need to pass this on for financial reasons it would be better to have it there. I grabbed a Micro SD 4GB from Krikkz as I don't have any spares. All in this wasn't cheap but I'm happy with it after waiting so long. Time to get started on the case.
(http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/L___E___T/1563313E-07E3-4D1D-A04A-4747EB94F697-320-000000924F73390E_zpscb600f70.jpg)
After comparing it to the Salamander cart I'd put by, I wasn't convinced it would fit and on top of that I didn't have a set of grips to open the cart safely and avoid busting the tabs. I have a box full of repro carts on their way, but I couldn't wait to check this out and for whatever reason didn't like the thought of sticking the bare PCB in my AV Famicom like that. So I dug around for an early cart I wouldn't mind using and found a really beat up DK cart. If Adventure Island works, I guessed anything around the time of that early shell design would also likely work. I tried an MMC5 cart as it was easy to unscrew but there's no chance that can work so I popped the DK cart open and took a look.
On first look it appeared an easy fit as everything lines up but after trial and error I'd spent about 30 minutes trimming down various innard tabs that keep the smaller DK board in place. I also cut out a generous slot to get to the Micro SD easier. Not fussed about the quick USB access for now, it would need a fatter hole up the top so I left it for the time being. After taking quite a few legs and tabs out of the inside of the DK cart, I eventually had a snug fit with easy card access.

I think I could've done a tidier job, I broke a blade in the process which didnt help but to be honest it just made me glad I didn't wreck the Salamander cart. Time to try it out!
(http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/L___E___T/9FA33FC6-6756-492C-B161-0C83BB4556D7-320-0000009259847C97_zps8e355d98.jpg)
Though it's not transparent, you can still see the access LEDs through the casing when it turns on and switches around the menus, which was a pleasant surprise. I think this will look really nice in a Salamander cart for that reason as well, I hope I can make that work.

Didn't play around with the Everdrive too much as I don't have a computer to load games on with and play around this evening. It was late, so this was mainly a test to check it works and the case isn't causing any issues for now. Looks fun, can't wait to see what other things people find it can do and the firmware updates that will come later down the line.
Anyone else getting one of these? I don't think my Powerpak's going to get much use from here out...

Oh I forgot to mention - that box of repro carts is on its way shortly is for the benefit of Famicom world members. I'm happy to dole out cart shells for Everdrives if people need them. I may even prep them in advance depending on how much time I have. They're not perfectly minty clean carts, but they may be helpful.

I have mine ordered as well, and also planned on putting it in a Salamander cart (have one here with the front label off ready to be trimmed down once the board comes in). It does look like there are a few little tabs and notches that will need to be trimmed down a good bit to make the Everdrive fit in. Did you just use an exacto knife or something? I feel like getting it all set up in a cart shell is gonna be a project in itself.

I used a craft knife, I am not sure what an exactly knife is but it's not too tricky, mostly just trial and error.
I would say it is a project in itself, to do it smartly and beautifully.

Its just a brand name for a hobby knife sort of like how people call an adhesive bandage a "Band Aid" at least in the states I heard they call them plaster's in the UK

That's pretty much what I used, thanks for the tip ;)
By the way here's a clearer picture of the board front if you want to consider making amends to a cart in advance.

I've ordered two more Salamander carts to use in the meantime in case I don't get it right first time. I like the game, so I'll swap it out into the shell of some not so good games and put their PCBs to one side.

You should be able to fit every NES/Famicom/FDS game on there - but I'd recommend against downloading and adding a compete platform library - it'll be 50% rubbish, just pluck the best games and build a library from there.
Start with Satoshi Matrix's top 100, or a personal memories list and then make folders for hacks, protos and betas etc. or something along those lines, you won't need 4GB that's for sure.

If you only played the best ones, absolutely. Micro SD cards are cheap though so you can always replace it with a bigger one later if you needed.
[UPDATE]
Got a nice find this weekend. I'd asked my lady to bring back something from Hong Kong. She guessed it was games and asked what type so I just said 'famicom games', which came as no surprise.
This is what she brought back:

I was pretty amazed, I was expecting a couple of pirate games! What a gift.
As well as that, NintendoDork sorted me out with this awesome little score as well:

It was a San Diego Comic Con exclusive, I've been playing a lot of Castlevania lately so decided to pick it up as it looked pretty unique.
There are 1000 of these.
Thanks Dork!!

Each "level" in Castlevania is broken down into various "stages". So, when you're fighting the bat at the end of level 1, you are actually in stage 3. (http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Castlevania/Stages_1_-_3 (http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Castlevania/Stages_1_-_3)).

Of Course it is.
Junkin - only 10 handed out, Ive only seen a picture of one online
Platinum Members- only 100 originally handed out. Ive only seen 2 online
Gold Members - only 500 originally handed out. I can only confirm 5
Silver Members Approx 2000 handed out but its more likely between 1500-1800. only 15 confirmed between YJA, Ebay, and private collectors.
Im sure theres more out there but they have just never left the original owners hands or people may not know what they have got. Exed Exes wasnt very popular so Im sure quite a few ended up in the garbage as well.

The only copy Ive ever seen for sale on ebay went for $1300 and change. Im sure in Japan its not as much.
The Lot Lot Members Stickers are certainly tougher to come by than the Exed Exes ones...
Do you know of any shops in Japan with any Members stickers carts for sale (either Exed Exes or Lot Lot)??

The game is identical. Actually, they didn't even give away the games, just the special sticker to put on your cart. What is more rare is finding the unused members stickers that the people didn't stick onto their carts.

Yamatoku is a professional retailer with their own buying department.
They probably also buy up stock from shops going out of business and the like.
They most probably pay only between 1 and 10 Yen for most of their cartridges, that's why they can sell cheap.

For $22, I bought a loose copy of Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti for Famicom.

6 frickin' years I've been looking for this after missing out on one, then it turns up for the same price all this time later..
I know a while has past, but I am very intrigued on this wild gunman bundle. How much did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking?

I don't really want to go into how much I paid for it, but the last time I missed one 7 years ago it was $250. If I were to sell this now, I'd be looking for in excess of $500 that's for sure, I've only ever seen two and I believe they were the same one at that.

Thanks, I was prepared to shell out nearly a grand for it that's how much I wanted it. Alas it meant I couldn't buy a brand New Gameboy Light, which ended up going for the same price as a well sued loose copy :(
Sometimes you see things for sale and just have to go for it and worry about how you'll pay later. That was the same for my first brand new Famicom and also for the brand new Game & Watch I just bought.
I'm definitely putting money by for Christmas auctions next year, I've noticed collectors seem to shed lots around November/December particularly, when 90% of people need money the most.

Nice come up on that revolver set, L__E__T. I have a friend who has a holster that she'll be giving me, but I'll still need to hunt down the actual gun.
I just received my Hudson Joycard in the mail today. It feels much more comfortable in my hands as opposed to the Player 1 controller. I'm quite happy with it, as it was only $12 shipped.

So super stoked about this. Buddy did me a huge favor and made this for me with a nice Konami style cart. Can't wait to receive it in the mail. Now I'll have 3 Arumana no Kisekis in famicom cart form. However this one is the nicest thus far.

Looks like a real nice repro though, who made it? Do you think he'd make more?

It's cool. He made a really nice label for the cart too.
A friend of mine. I kinda doubt it. I had to bug him to make me this one, lol.

CIB Soccer - trying to get all the Silver Series now (gonna take a fair few years though):

Some acceptable Dragon Quest guides:

Might pick up some of these in better condition later down the line.
And a special FDS unboxing gallery for those interested:
Game is as new, disk doesn't show any signs of use. I don't know much about this game tbh.

to be honest i do not know much about this game, but i hear it is rare. And being the mario collector I am i had to buy it!
Would be interested to know what it is worth.

Cool. Yeah it's sort of rare... I would say more on the uncommon side. I got one for about 3,000 yen.
Nevertheless, definitely something to have for a Mario collector. Congrats!
Eventually I would like to get a nice, boxed cart repro of the game... but that's going to be tough and an expensive endeavor.

After searching high and low for almost a year, I was finally able to, with the help of a fellow collector, get my hands on a copy of Gravity Armor Metal Storm!

i just checked my PO box and it was in there a day early ! So, here it is!
to be honest i do not know much about this game, but i hear it is rare. And being the mario collector I am i had to buy it!
Would be interested to know what it is worth.
Not to rain on your parade or anything, but that game without the box or instructions these days is almost definitely fake. Especially if you got it for less than like four or five hundred dollars. There are passable scans of the label and sleeve out there that I have seen people on Yahoo use to pass off "rewritten" copies. Most of them also say something in the description like "I'm not sure if the label is original" or something like that and price it at 3000 yen.
Check the upper left corner of your disk label there for example, looks kind of weirdly rounded off doesn't it? You could also look at the crease of the card insert up near the top. It's kinda hard to see in just the picture but it looks more "rounded" or floppy compared to the official harder cardstock.

I've actually done the 1st few levels on this, some with trial and error as there is some Japanese text.
I fluked the 2nd stage with the twirl thing to advance.
Some real catchy tunes, a bit on the short loop side tho. But from what I've played..I've enjoyed :)

Now maybe I am just stupid and am not realizing something here. After finishing some cranberry wine and working my way through some Oolong Wine, maybe my judgment is clouded a bit. But the thing I don't understand...
Aren't these games all just reproductions or customs? There is not way that a pirate outfit would create stuff that nice, and the Angry Birds game (I am assuming is like the one I am trying to track down) was not made in Japan, and I highly doubt it came boxed (could be wrong though). Now this leads to the following question. If these are just reproductions or customs, then what is the huge significance of this find? I am not trying to rain on anyone's parade here, but just trying to understand. I mean, what is to stop somone else from recreating this stuff and making a few customs? it has been done to hell and back with NES carts, boxes, and manuals, so what is stopping this from happening on the Famicom? Just trying to understand is all.

Just trying to understand is all.
Now I can only speak for myself and my experiences...
1. I think these things are cool. That's just my opinion. More so because I hate to use disks. Have had so many bad experiences with 5.25" floppies back in the day to hate floppies in general. On top of that, you can possibly acquire things that are translated hacks, never released in a region, etc etc.
Lastly, I've pretty much got all the officially released famicom games *that I want* complete boxed. Quirky stuff like this (disk only official, not released in japan, etc) is all that's left on my 8-bit famicom want list. It's kind of like my collecting on other platforms. Currently I'm working on my japanese NeoGeo AES game collection. I like to pick-up conversions of MVS only games.
2. You would think it would be relatively easy to make or have someone make you boxed, complete famicom customs, but it's not. I've approached and queried so many people who do full complete reproductions of NES, SNES, Genesis, etc customs over the years. All of them said they either don't do it or have the ability to do so. They'll make a repro cart only, that's about it. So until I can find someone (at least one!) that is willing to do these somewhat consistently, it's hard to get this kind of stuff.
However if you know someone that can do this type of work for japanese 8-bit famicom games.... please let me know! It's tough finding someone who can and is willing to do so.

Though I've had better experiences with 3.5" on my old PCs, Amiga, console backup units... still hate floppy disks in general.
Bad or dirty drive heads... failing or loud activity.... disks getting corrupted.... ehh. I just have disk games mainly for collection purposes. I wouldn't want to use them on a regular basis. But that's just me.

Cool, thanks for the information! It gives me something to think about.
I don't personally know anyone to make famicom reproductions, but I honestly haven't looked very hard either. Seeing that they are so rampant in the NES community, I was just sort of curious why people get excited over this sort of thing here, but I think I understand where you are coming from. Not trying to rain on anyone's parade, just trying to hear a reason and understand...and your response helped with that, thanks!

Wonderful choices, Nusilver. Ducktales 2 is an excellent game, I'd say it's as good as the original Ducktales.

I've got a few other awesome titles coming, as well, but it'll be a few weeks before they're here. I think Ducktales 2 is actually better than the first - it's a little easier, the music is better, and the gameplay is slightly more varied. Too bad so many people missed it originally.

I look forward to seeing them... I shall have some new games to show pretty soon.
Huh, I actually found Ducktales 2 to be a little bit trickier than the original, but I guess that's because I played the original for so many years. Scrooge definitely does have some cool new tricks to play around with in the sequel, and as one would expect from a Capcom Disney game, the boss battles and music are exceptional.
It is a shame that Ducktales 2 gets so little recognition, but the best games for the Famicom and NES are also among the most obscure, so that's no surprise.

Nice job bro, I hate you for it ;D :(
In reality, this has become one game that is starting to leave a very sour taste in my mouth, just like the stupid Gamate gaming handheld. I've had too many close encounters where I've almost got a copy of this game, once time where I did get the full version and it was broke, etc. Because of these situations, when I think of this particular title, and the instances which surround it for me, I get really angry.

Are there any gameplay differences between the FC and NES versions of the Rock/Mega Man games? I'm enough of a Mega Man nut that I think I'll end up buying boxed/CIB FC versions although I already have an almost CIB US set (I need a manual for MM4!). And I don't even avidly collect boxes for NES or FC games.
I'd be hard-pressed to pick a favorite between the 6 original games, but it probably wouldn't be the 6th one. I saw through the dopey beard-and-sunglasses disguise the first time I played the game, and I was 13.
I'm also expecting a Pizza Pop from manuel as we speak. That should be fun, as well as the Paaman 2 that should be in the same package.

My favorite Rockman is 3. Probably because that was what brought me into the series.
Back then I had to choose between Zelda and Mega Man 3, and I chose Mega Man. Good choice!
I started Zelda with the SNES. :)

I'd say 3 is my second favorite in the series, after 6. I like 6 because of the robot masters, the alternate routes in the stages, the incredible graphics, and I thought the Rush suit powerups were cool, as well as a few of the minor touches like the way the colors change when you revisit a stage. Plus the music which accompanies the final battle against Wily is my favorite song in a Mega Man game, so... yeah. Overall I'd say six can't be beat, but I definitely understand people who say that 3 is the best in the series, because the 3rd installment is wonderful as well.
I agree that the ending of Pizza Pop is rather heartwarming. And I've seen it around 1000 times now, I hope you'll both enjoy that game as much as I do. I got a couple packages today... but I wish to wait until Monday to post my finds, since my final package will have arrived by then.

Rockman 2 is my least favorite of the series, actually. At least as far as the original six are concerned. And that says a lot because Rockman 2 is still one of my favorite games ever, just my least favorite of the series. Didn't like any of the robot masters, liked very few of the songs, makes me miss the slide and the charged shot. The dragon in Wily's first stage is awesome, though. I'll admit that's one of my favorite bosses in a Rockman game.

Are there any gameplay differences between the FC and NES versions of the Rock/Mega Man games? I'm enough of a Mega Man nut that I think I'll end up buying boxed/CIB FC versions although I already have an almost CIB US set (I need a manual for MM4!). And I don't even avidly collect boxes for NES or FC games.
I'd be hard-pressed to pick a favorite between the 6 original games, but it probably wouldn't be the 6th one. I saw through the dopey beard-and-sunglasses disguise the first time I played the game, and I was 13.
I'm also expecting a Pizza Pop from manuel as we speak. That should be fun, as well as the Paaman 2 that should be in the same package.
There aren't any gameplay differences between Mega Man and Rockman series. There's some story text in the beginning and end of most of them that is different (language differences, duh), and the titles of 2-6 have subtitles in Japanese. Otherwise, identical.
3 is the best :)

The only difference I can think of is the addition of easy (or "normal") mode in Mega Man 2, which is just ridiculous. Practically every other enemy gives you a big health powerup in that version.
What also might be worth mentioning is the large picture of Rockman which was present in the title screen for Rockman 3, but removed for Mega Man 3. No clue why they took that out, it's pretty cool.

On that note the title screen for Megaman 1 is also different. Not a gameplay difference, but yeah.

I'm with Manuel and Nusilver, Rockman 3 is my favourite. Rockman 2 is good but Rockman 1 and 3 is better IMO. Rockman 6 is also one of the better Rockmans.

Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger
Tokkyu Shirei Solbrain (So great to finally play Shatterhand's Japanese Area C!)
NY Nyankies
Kaiketsu Yanchamaru
(http://i.imgur.com/niMnYCj.jpg)
Saiyuki World II, Gun Nac, Hoshi No Kirby, Bomberman II, Time Zone, Gekitotsu Yonku Battle, Palamedes II, Chuka Taisen, Pajama Hero Nemo.
(http://i.imgur.com/p2Asl1b.jpg)
Ninja Crusaders Ryuga, Rockman 3, Dragon Fighter, Donald Land, Kage, Tiny Toon Adventures, Ninja Cop Saizou, Altered Beast (I forget the Japanese name for it.), Insector X.
(http://i.imgur.com/bmnLpxB.jpg)
Parodius, Ducktales, Mighty Final Fight.
That's all for now. I've never really played Dragon Fighter until I got this copy of it, and I must say it's one of my favorite games now. I'd highly recommend it to any Natsume fan, or fans of side-scrolling action games in general.

Yeah Time Zone is a cool game, a lot of aspects of its gameplay actually remind me of Yo! Noid. Which isn't a bad thing, as I do like Yo! Noid. The music in Time Zone is pretty neat.

I think this one is mega cool. Not only is it Legendary Wings on Famicom, but then I find it cool how the guys that made this one not only put their company name in it, but also the name of the guy himself who hacked "edited" the game. Talk about brave!

UPDATE: r /\ f World good to go. :pow:
Okay. This is it for my California-based collecting. Found all of these on Yahoo Auctions Japan - *very* reasonable prices - just under 9000 yen, all together. So far, I can't get r /\ f World to work, but I suspect it just needs some cleaning - plus, I only have a Retro Duo Portable + Gamejoy FC Adapter to test them with, at the moment. Otherwise, everything works and is obviously in great shape.
Oh - no manual with Hebereke. I suppose nobody has an extra manual around here, lol.

I'll have to disagree with you there. I prefer Kokkun for a few reasons, the most prominent of which is the fact that he uses his hat as a weapon. His hat could destroy Cookie's inferior pan any day of the week!
Good finds to Cheetahmen II. I've never played Lickle, but perhaps I should get a copy of it one day to see what all the fuss is about. Kyatto Ninden Teyandee is one of the best games, well worth the zero dollars you paid for it. I want to re-buy that game, but CIB... sadly the cheapest one I could find is around $130, but it'll be worth it.

Akuma no Shoutaijou (Uninvited)
It arrived yesterday and I just got around to playing the game. I am a huge fan of the NES version and I read that the Japanese version has more stuff included, so I figured that it be a good purchase. It's unfortunately impossible to get very far even with playing the NES version through 20+ times.
I want to find out if someone can burn the translated Japanese version to EPROMs and install them on the original board.
Omg, That is the friggin coolest! Nothing in my mind can beat All Night Nippon!

Sweet! Ninja Jajamaru Ginga Daisakusen is a pretty cool game imho that doesn't get enough love... but I suppose that's good too because it helps keep the price lower compared to the other more known/hyped games.

Yeah definitely! It was only like 15 dollars, and I played up to level 2 and it seems pretty fun and unique. I'll have to play it through later today.
Hammerin' Harry 2 was kinda expensive, but it's one of my favorites so it was well worth it.

Yea the zapper was very light when I got it,opened her up and it has no weights like the original so I put some of these in there.

Now it feels a lot better with the added weight.

Very cool, Pikkon. I have a 3rd party NES zapper and I noticed it was incredibly light too. Sadly it doesn't work on my AV Fami, but then again I don't have any Famicom zapper games anyway. I got home from my trip today, here is what I purchased overall.
(http://gyazo.com/8e4767c28cd03a1cd082d04c8ab1db95.png)
Super Mario Bros 3. (CIB)
Gradius (CIB)
Power Blazer (CIB)
Spartan X2
Final Mission
Wario Land 4 (Game Boy Advance, CIB) This happens to be my second favorite non-Famicom game, so I'm glad to have it complete.
And when I got home a package was awaiting me containing the following.

Neat finds!
Can I ask how much you paid for Warioland 4? That was my favourite GBA game and one of the first I bought - so many fun times playing the LPs :)
The reason I ask is because I bought a brand new one for cheap - then the seller backed out and said he'd sent it off to someone else by accident. He sent me several new FDS games instead, but I was not amused.

Thank you! I paid $20 for Wario Land 4. I also bought it when it first came out, great memories playing that game... in fact, I still have my original U.S. copy. Just not the box and manual for it. The LPs are awesome, although some of them used to creep me out a bit when I was younger. They're definitely worth finding.
That's a shame about the new copy of Wario Land 4. I'm sure you'll be able to find another one though, I actually have a few Japanese GBA games which were sold as brand new, and they're pretty good ones. (Mr. Driller 2, Klonoa, etc.)
There actually is a brand new copy of it on eBay, but I'm sure the price is much more than what you paid for the previous one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wario-Land-4-Japan-Version-BRAND-NEW-Compatible-with-Aus-Gameboy-Advance-DSL-/380632141140?pt=AU_PC_Video_Games_Games&hash=item589f718d54

Very nice CIB Cocoron there. Is that Asmik Kun-Land any good? I watched a video of it, and it didn't look impressive. It was one of the few FC exclusive platformers that I didn't bother to add to my watch list.

Thanks so much. I'm actually playing Cocoron as we speak, I think I'm in love with it already. This is my first time ever playing it, it's one of the few games I didn't try before buying, so I'm absolutely blown away by it.
Asmik-Kun? Well, back in my days of playing random Famicom games on emulator, Asmik-Kun Land was among one of the many games I played, but I don't remember getting very far on it. I was pretty terrible on keyboard, so I'm hoping I'll be able to beat it now. From what I remember, it's fun but obviously there are much better platformers out there. You die in one hit and your default weapon is pretty weak, but from what I've seen you gain more as the game progresses. I like the graphics in Asmik-Kun Land, it looks absurd!

I got a text out of the blue this afternoon. It was from an acquaintance, who I had bought some Sega stuff from a couple of weeks ago. A couple of hours later, I'm meeting him to buy three Famicom pirate multicarts: 146-in-1, 102-in-1, and 9999999-in-1 (which just says "Super" and "New 2001" on the label). All three of these games only have about half a dozen unique games on them, sadly enough. the 146 includes Sqoon, which I don't normally see on multis. The 102 includes Magic Jewelry, which is pretty fun. The 9999999 is the first multi I've played to include Dr. Mario, even though the version was flawed. (The viruses in the game's well weren't animated.) The 9999999 also included a title screen that seemed to be ripped from The Lion King, with Young Simba clinging to the edge of a cliff while an 8-bit rendition of "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" plays over the menu.

I really like the game, but I never played the Famicom version, supposedly it has extras, but if not it's still a great game, I'd definitely recommend it as an action game.
I get the impression you like some of these SD style games like SPC and Mighty Final Fight, Gourmet World and Banana Prince etc. Funny enough, it fits right in with those, albeit it's a tad darker.

Yes SD-style action games are my favorite type of game! The bosses in Metal Storm look pretty sweet... and the gravity mechanic seems cool, reminds me of Area E in Shatterhand. Someday I need to get Metal Storm, for one I absolutely adore Irem. (For Kaiketsu Yanchmaru, Daiku No Gen-San, Spartan X-2, etc.)

Taito is part of Square Enix, imagine if they still had the rights, I'd love a 16-bit sequel.

Ah yes, are you referring to the bot that flies up and down, changes color and has a bunch of different forms of firepower? I saw a video of that boss and he looks tough, those lasers that fly straight, then fly downwards to track you remind me a lot of the final boss in Gun+Nac.

Thank you sir! NY Nyankies is one of my favorite games, for one the level layout/presentation of the game is really unique, how each stage is presented as a TV channel. Your hero is armed with a Punch Glove from the start, and there is quite a few ways to use it. You can use it for mobility, grappling onto objects and swinging around Bionic Commando style, jump and punch the ground to propel yourself in the air, or jump and punch the wall to fling yourself backwards. Utilizing these mobility techniques is essential to passing some of the later jumping puzzles, especially in the extra stage which is played AFTER the credits roll. You can knock enemies out with the glove, but you can also hold B to use it as a catching mitt, then you can catch various projectiles and objects, and throw them right back at 'em!
Besides the final stage and the extra stage, most the stages can be played in any order, Mega Man style. I find a lot of the platforming and bosses to be very interesting in these levels. There is also a couple extra options on the stage (or "channel") select screen. Mini-games where you can earn extra lives and money, as well as a shop where you can buy powerups including a mace (which is stronger than your punch glove, but it can't grapple onto ledges), bombs, and rocket boots to help you glide over jumps like the Princess in Super Mario USA! Very cool game overall, I'd recommend it.

AHHH! My beloved Gourmet World! Congratulations, you've been making exceptionally smart purchasing decisions lately.
What are the odds, I recently got Parasol Henbee as well, waiting for a couple packages to arrive before I make a finds post... haven't played it much at all yet, but it seems fun. Some of the boss battles seem like mini-games which I might have to resort to GameFAQs to figure out.

Yeah, it's definitely one of my favourites. ;) To be honest, I didn't realise it was a rare game until now. (Either that or I've forgotten)

Yeah I was so lucky to have gotten it CIB from Manuel a long time ago... otherwise I would have had to spend a fortune on it. I actually still need to get Gradius II, as well as TMNT.
That HIK 4-in-1 would have been perfect if it had Tokkyu Shirei Solbrain instead of Magmax... Solbrain isn't exactly Super Sentai, but it'd still fit in nicely with the tokusatsu theme.

Magmax is alright, and I don't think I've got it on any other carts. Solbrain's definitely a better game, though. ;)

Ah I don't think I've ever played that game. I was just thinking in terms of keeping with the Tokusatsu theme, Solbrain might have been a good choice... but then again, Solbrain and Jetman on the same multicart... that might have been just too much Natsume greatness for one single cartridge to take.

Hehe! I just bought one from Japan. I may be wrong, but going by the diagram on the 3d glasses I am buying from Manuel, it looks like you need to put a controller into them. I have an av famicom, so I bought it just incase. Of course..I could be wrong, but it looks like you need a pad to plug into them :)

The 3D glasses work fine with the console's controllers. I think the pic just shows you can still use another expansion port device if you want.

Contains:
Goal 5 - Hack of Tecmo World Cup Soccer. Decent, but it's no Nekketsu Soccer. :P
High Way Star 2 - Hack of F-1 Hero 2. One of the laziest sequels I've ever seen, all they did was take the first game and change the graphics. I wouldn't mind, but the original game sucked. (F-1 Hero, that is) :bomb:
Super Spike V'Ball - Same as the NES version, right down to the copyright info.
World Champ - Mediocre Ring King wannabe, also the same as the NES version.

I already have Joy Mecha Fight, but I've always loved it a lot, so I'm glad to have it CIB.
SD Hero Soukessen, Splatterhouse Wanpaku Graffiti, Gun Dec and Ningen Heiki Dead Fox were all games I tried out on emulator beforehand, and loved them... especially Gun Dec. That game rules.

It's threads like this that make you realise how awesome the Famicom library actually is. So, so many great games that stand the test of time, so many shitty games that yet still have that sentimentality of the time. I really love this system.

Completely agreed. I don't even have interest in any other system because no game library even comes close to that of the Famicom, from my perspective.

Yup, I feel the same. I started off collecting NES and Famicom, but then sold most of my NES collection and started collecting Famicom afresh...I will never go back to collecting NES, and honestly the only other system I actively collect for (and play) is Game Boy, which is basically the portable version of the NEs/Famicom imo. But I would instantly sell any of my GB stuff to acquire more Famicom stuff that I need or want for my collection. Once you go Famicom , you never go back ;)

I went from collecting everything, to selling all except NES and Fami, then adding Gameboy, Virtual Boy and Super Famicom to the mix.
These are the 'sprite systems' I know and love and am really happy to keep playing. Though N64 was great, something happened when 3D games came into the mix and I think a lot of what I love was lost during that transition.
Oddly, 3D Virtual Boy games (and Gameboy games) and Starfox still have that, so it can't be just 3D.

I very much agree with both of you guys. I mainly attribute my love for the Famicom to the simple fact that my favorite companies (Natsume, Irem, Konami, etc.) were at their absolute best back then. And I've managed to discover hundreds of Famicom games which I love and adore, but for most consoles I struggle to even find 5-10 games which I like, Famicom is the only exception to this.
Like FCGamer, I'd have to say the original Game Boy is my 2nd favorite system, it does have many games with similar quality to those on the Famicom... although I play mine on the GBA SP.

I don't know how to add pics to this on a Mac, so I'll give you links. The first is the box of the bootleg Famicom Zapper I got from Venuzela on eBay: http://bit.ly/15Hda64 The second is thew auction page, so you can see that the gun ISN'T the same as the one on the box: http://bit.ly/11qDpQU The cart I got WAS the 4 games that were promised, but it was the same banana yellow of the gun guard, not the blue as advertised. Still, for $30, considering the original Famicom Light Gun is ten times that much, I think I got a good deal!

Wit's is the blueish/purple one above the Konami Family Boxing cart in the first gallery of cart-only games. And the proper spelling seems to include the apostrophe. Why? I don't know. It is possibly a typo. Yeah, it's a semi-common idea for a game, but it's done well and the only example of it on the FC/NES catalog.

I can't find the PM, but I'm sure Manuel did it for 2500Yen which is about £17.
I'm sure being the gentleman he is, he knocked some off, as them 3 items were shipped together. SAL and arrived in
4 days only!
The Super Famicom I bought from Manuel, took around ten days, but even for SAL, I thought that was fast.
I think Gourmet I paid 3000 Yen and Pizza Pop! 2500 Yen.

I started Congos Caper 1 Credit run yesterday. Then tomorrow, i'm definitely playing pizza pop!
Although, I did playthrough the 1st 4 levels of Wanpaku Kokkun no Gourmet World, and was thinking wow.
Its so fluid, really good graphics, catchy tunes and fun. :)

Yes! Gourmet World is such a great game, I love the animations of all the enemies and bosses. Especially the second and third boss... please let me know how you do on the final stage, some people have claimed it to be difficult, but I think it's pretty easy once you master the timing of swatting the french fries out of the air (you'll get what I mean), and master this one jump that has the be on the absolute edge of the platform.
You will enjoy Pizza Pop as well, see if you can manage to match my no-damage run of that game!

CIB Mitsume Ga Tooru and Samurai Pizza Cats, both of which I've been wanting to own in such condition for years. Many thanks to Manuel for these!
You will enjoy Pizza Pop as well, see if you can manage to match my no-damage run of that game!

I got some new games today.
First off, a boxed copy of Sailor Moon R for the Game Boy, a game which I loved playing as a kid.

Wow, if I might ask, how much did the last two set you back? I have Guevara on the way too, managed to get t for (relatively) cheap.
I never used to like 3 Eyes Boy much but it really is great, I have SPC loose as you know but only a loose pirate of Mitsume Ga Tooru.

Mitsume Ga Tooru was 5000 Yen, I believe... I think SPC was 7000 Yen. I am so happy to finally own these games complete, I was looking through the manual for SPC and it has to be my favorite manual for a game. Had tons of great drawings of the enemies, bosses, and our heroes performing their signature attacks.
Besides the one I have now, I've never seen a CIB copy of Mitsume Ga Tooru for sale (and trust me, I've been looking for years) so I was so happy to finally get a copy of it. As for SPC, there has always been a few CIB copies of it on eBay, but they're extremely expensive. About a month ago I was bidding on one at $110, but I was outbid at the last second and I was so devastated. Feels good to have it at last.
As I said back in our initial discussion of the game, yeah 3 Eyes Boy does indeed start rather slowly, but man does it become one of the most intense, skillful and masterfully designed experiences I've ever had with a video game. Love it so much, especially the final two stages... and the ending credits... I always have trouble turning off my Famicom upon completing Mitsume Ga Tooru, the credits theme is just so damn good.

Thank you sir. I played some earlier, up to stage 3 (the tank boss destroyed me though), but as L___E___T said it's a great game, and an extremely difficult one. I'll play more of it tonight, perhaps I'll get good enough to beat it.

It's been almost exactly two months since I posted my Famicom collection (http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=523.msg134339#msg134339), and here's what I've added to it in June and July:
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/ghegs/FCswag2_zps4b53911d.jpg)
Wanpaku Kokkun no Gourmet World, Star Wars (the Lucasarts one), Punch-Out!!, Sword Master, Chojin Sentai Jetman, Dragon Fighter, Kyorochan Land, Hebereke, Don Doko Don 2, Power Blazer, Saiyuki World 2 and Pajama Hero Nemo. All CIB. I also got the extremely cool Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography's Family Computer 1983-1994 book, which I'm sure you lot are familiar with. I had a friend in Japan pick it up for me and I only paid around $44 for it. The two small boxes on the right are packages of candy with the same Kyoro-chan mascot on them.
There are a few more titles I think I might want to pick up, but after those I think I'm ready to call my collection complete. In the sense that I have CIB copies of all the games I want, that is. Around a hundred Famicom games, then.

I actually only got Gourmet World because I happened to win an auction for a low price. I think it's overrated and not worth the prices it usually goes for.
I'm a firm believer in Sturgeon's law. ;)

Really pleased with Wacky Races! Great looking, great sounding and great gameplay mechanics.
I love the buffered bark projectile and the cycling power up system. I played straight through and finished it, I couldn't help it, I had so much fun!

What wonderful selections you've made, L___E___T. Gun-Dec and Wacky Races are two of my favorites, I haven't really played too much of Guevara yet but it seems quite good. I might be getting JuJu Densetsu pretty soon as well.
I mainly stick to the bomb attack when I play Wacky Races, but perhaps I'll try playing it through with the sonic bark sometime.

From what I remember, the delay with the bark attack makes the bosses harder than with the bombs.

Yeah the bark is much slower than the bombs, so I'd guess it makes the game a lot more difficult. Perhaps someday I should try to beat it without utilizing any items whatsoever.

I stuck with the bark because I found it nicer to look at and listen to :)
Plus, I like that it has better range and a delay, it makes the game more interesting for me that way, it involves a tiny bit of planning I guess.
I did switch to bombs on a couple of bosses if I died, but overall the only boss I found hard to beat with the bark would be Penelope and perhaps the race car guy (the fast hot rod).
Overall, this was not a hard game by any means but I had so much fun with it, I'll definitely replay it through with just the regular bite attack (and the bombs for bosses).

Wacky Races is definitely a fun game. I'm glad I got an NES copy before the price skyrocketed a couple of years ago. I do wish there could be more of a challenge to it. Like Kirby's Adventure and Felix the Cat, this game could really benefit from multiple difficulties like Duck Tales. The base difficulty of all three of these games would definitely be "Easy" mode.

Yes, a lot of games could benefit from that and vice versa - Castlevania's easy mode is quite nice and makes the game a fun breeze through and the Game+ way more accessible. I haven't beat it on normal yet, because you need to get from stage 4 through to Dracula without losing a life.
The GBA version allows you to save and continue just before the Dracula fight, but with only a dozen hearts and level 1 holy water I haven't been able to beat it yet, even getting to phase 2 Dracula with full health. On easy mode, it's just so much simpler because I don't die on Stage 5 at all and carry through with a load of hearts and level 3 holy water.

Well, Kirby's Adventure does have an extra difficulty option which can be unlocked. The extra mode, where Kirby only has half as much health, and the game must be completed in one sitting.
Edit: Oh, and I beat Guevara today... definitely one of the finest shooters I've ever played. I'd recommend you give it a shot, L___E___T... but please, don't take advantage of the unlimited continues! Limit yourself to only using however many you'd buy in the arcade!

You could get it as a single pirate cart too. That's what I did, and I don't think I will upgrade and get an original copy, at least for now. It was a fun game...not great, but not bad either. I will probably play through it again sometime, but not for awhile.

Hmmm? Which game are you talking about, L___E___T? It can't be Gourmet World, as the only real differences in the NES version other than the English text is the altered character/weapon sprite, the item placement, and the lack of a credits sequence at the end.

I thought the collision detection and hit boxes were different? I should have researched more before writing that post :) when I played Panic Restaurant though, the hit detection did seem a lot better and I'm sure I remember some differences n the menu?

No, I've played through both of them many times, and the differences are only cosmetic. Though the standard weapon in Panic Restaurant is a pan, while in Gourmet World it's Kokkun's hat. But again, this is only a cosmetic difference, the hitboxes on these weapons are the same.

I prefer Gourmet World overall, simply because I like the sprite for Kokkun better than Chef Cookie, and I always found it funny that Kokkun just hits the enemies with his hat, love that move. However it's worth pointing out that the invincibility animation is different between the two games, and I actually prefer that of Panic Restaurant. In Gourmet World, Kokkun simply spins around, holding the invincibility pan in his hands, but in Panic Restaurant, the invincibility pan is actually on top of Cookie's head, which looks pretty funny. Also, the title screen designs are vastly different between the two, and in this case I prefer the title screen of Gourmet World.

This is likely what I'll do. I'll either take ericj up on his very kind offer or I'll find another disk only version at some point. I don't have an FDS yet, but I'd never seen the game for sale on eBay or any of my other haunts, so I had to buy this copy when I saw it. I had every intention of buying it to play, but when I saw it was sealed, well... that took a back seat. I'll either keep it as something really cool in my collection or I'll see if I can sell it to take (some of) the pain out of buying Gimmick! some day.

That's sucky. So, you load with a Game Doctor and it boots as if it were a cart? I thought the game doctors used floppies all this time.
I think he meant that Game Doctor FDS dumps require a Game Doctor present to load said FDS disks. A Game Doctor is always a welcome presence if you collect any sort of pirate Famicom FDS games. ;)

I don't post on this forum often, but here there are all cartridges I got last week and today:
(https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/61284_308204515991514_966534598_n.jpg)
On 1994 (or 1997 according to that sticker) SUPER HIK 3-in-1, there are Adventure Island 4, Tecmo NBA Basketball, Jurassic Park.
On the other cartridge there is Pizza Pop Mario, a hack of Pizza Pop from Jaleco, but with Mario as a main character.
And on that PCB, it claims to have 64 games on it, but it lies, like most multicarts. The games on it are Super Mario Bros., Tengen's Tetris, Track&Field and Tank 1990 (hack of Battle City).
Few days ago, I got Akumajou Densetsu. One of my favourite games I really wanted to get on real cartridge.

Also decided to test it on my Famiclones. On both Dendy Classic-1 and Classic-2, the soundchip works well. On Dendy Junior, it partly works, partly doesn't. Maybe I should later try to make a comparison video between my clones to show what clones can play soundchip, and what can't. I have a real Famicom as well, and the soundchip works like it should work. :)
As for my entire collection, who is interested, I am posting my entire collection here: http://s1332.photobucket.com/user/SomeRussianMarioDude1/library/My%20retrogaming%20collection?sort=3&page=0

Nice finds, Matias.
Is that The Little Mermaid version where "N" is replaced with "X", resulting to Walt DisXey, or Push Start ButtoX?
Also what's that Robocop 3 cartridge there? Is it Tokkyuu Shirei Solbrain? And does the boss at Area F repeat infinitely after you beat him?
Also as for your SMB3 cartridge, does it have something like an ability that pirates added to select any item you want from inventory right at the start of a game? And does your TMNT3 cartridge has copyrights in it? Or is it ZONAXI hack? Or just a hard-mode hack without copyrights, just "1992" at the beginning? :)

On an FDS game? No. I think it's been easy for me to hold off on this one as I don't even have an FDS to play it on yet. For most of my cart-based retro stuff I prefer cart only as it's much cheaper, takes up less space, and I don't have to worry about ruining a package haha. I've bought sealed copies of games to play in the past, though. I recently actively sought out a sealed copy of Metroid Prime for the GCN specifically to open and play. That's not quite as expensive as some stuff, but still. As long as the cost isn't too crazy I'd be fine buying something new and opening it to play.

Ninja Ryukenden
Ninja Ryukenden II
Ninja Crusaders Ryuga
And at long last, I finally got my two greatest wants. Thanks to Manuel for Wanpaku Kokkun No Gourmet World, thanks to StJackie for Tokkyu Shirei Solbrain. I was beginning to think I'd never get these two CIB.

Hey thanks XiTaU, yeah Solbrain is one of my favorite games. I also have its NES counterpart, Shatterhand, and the major difference between them is the fact that Area C is a completely different level in Shatterhand. I prefer the Area C in Solbrain, mainly due to its music and stage background.

I like the Japonisme of Solbrain, but I think I like Shatterhand more actually as the true version of what the developers wanted to do.
Nightstar that is one nice CIB, is it new? St.Jackie sorted me out with a new Ninja Gaiden 2 once.

I also believe that Shatterhand was intended to be the original game, despite Solbrain being released first. What mainly suggests this to me is the fact that the final boss' power suit is similar to the one worn by the protagonist in Shatterhand.
It wasn't sold specifically as new, but I think it very well could be, as the condition of it is great, and the cartridge was still sealed in its baggie.

There was a Shatterhand/Solbrain interview somewhere with the developers, that said they made Shatterhand and picthed it, but the publisher wanted to base it on Solbrain and ship it as a licensed game.
That one level didn't work so they changed it, or something along those lines. When it came to porting it in the US, they got to revert back to Shatterhand as Solbrain was unheard of, which was great.

Wow so cool, my friend. I think that kind of pirate multicart is extremely rare find. :o
Does it contain chip or globs? I'm just curious :)

I see. It must be a very complex and amazing piece of circuitry. :) Many years ago I did came across JY version of 45-in-1 now I hit myself on the head for not getting it that time (at the time I didn't even know that SMW full version exists!), anyway If you are lucky and able to find another one, please let me know. Thanks ;)

Got the card and a network adapter on eBay for $10 + $30 shipping. I already had a near-CIB network system -- it was only missing the card! So I'm happy to have a complete set now.
The same seller had another listing that went for $5.50 + $35 shipping, and that one had a different card (the horse race off-track betting card, I think). I wanted to get that one, too, but I couldn't justify another $40 for what would amount to a short song and an error screen :-[

Well done on getting it anyway. This stuff is exciting to see even though it's near useless.

Love that Famicom shipping box. I have shipping boxes for Virtual Boy, Super Famicom and Gameboy Advance too.
I managed to get a full case of Hogan's Alley, the shipping boxes have a lot of charm I think!
In case anyone was wondering, shipping boxes for current games don't look anywhere near as nice, they're usually pretty plain with simple text on.

A case of Hogan`s Alley muust look really awesome, I love the purple boxes on that one.
And I agree, the Famicom shipping boxes are pretty cool on their own - they aren`t just throw-away cardboard boxes but have nifty folding lids and the game names on them.

My AV modded Famicom is there just for atmosphere.
Games I got are: Takahashi Meijin no Bug-tte Honey, Antarctic Adventure, Balloon Fight, Donkey Kong Jr. Math, Ninja Hattori Kun & Adventure Island 3.
Also got two manuals for Dig Dug & Mappy.
Posted some short info about each game I got on my website as well: http://srmd1website.weebly.com/4/post/2013/09/pickups-30092013.html (http://srmd1website.weebly.com/4/post/2013/09/pickups-30092013.html)

Nice finds!
Bout time I posted in this thread. Here's one I've wanted for a while:
(http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/L___E___T/null_zpsc5ef412f.jpg)
I always saw it as a Ninja Gaiden clone, but actually, the pace of it is quite unique and I like the subtle gameplay differences. The animation is better than NG I think, and while the cutscenes are not as well executed, try have just as much charm somehow.
Overall, this feels like Haggleman 3 on Retro Game Challenge - inspired by Ninja Gaiden, but with other inspirations, cues and deliberate parodies thrown into the mix. It's more than the sum of its parts and I'll really enjoy playing through this slow burner. Only got up to Stage 3 on my first play through before dinner, but already looking forward to going back to it.

Ducktales 1 + 2, Jigoku Gokuraku Maru, and Ninja Ryukenden all on the same page? Glad to see you guys haven't slowed down on the legendary finds.
Good call with Jigoku, L___E___T. That's always been one of my favorites.

A hell of a deal then, but that's three years ago when prices were quite different :)
I paid $18 for a brand new Ninja Ryukenden III 6 years ago.
I paid $150 for a brand new Ninja Ryukenden II 2 years ago...

No it was yamatoku-classic if I wouldn't have bid you would have gotten that lot for 2.34 I was the first bidder at 1.99 honestly not much slips by me on ebay unless I'm feeling lazy
Whoops, got my 2 ebay sellers mixed up, you're right. it was yamatoku. I was the first to bid and it got up to 70 something dollars?

Finally found a copy of this cart, on Famicom format. Yay!

By owning Golden Games 260, I now have every Hwang Shinwei game in my possession. All of the games that were released as single carts I own on single carts, and the 260 includes several Shinwei games that weren't ever released anywhere else.
The stupid thing was, I almost passed this cart by because the seller was trying to overcharge me on it, since I was not a local. I left but then returned ten minutes later and bought the cart anyway, because I knew I would be regretting it if I didn't.

That's great, getting closer to your admirably insane goal :bub: You have to get these things when you find them.
I had a similar scenario with a Hong Kong Famicom, but in the end I bought it because it was still a steal.
Well, I have some more famicom finds, handbills this time. Lots of pictures here!

Yup, in my case the game was still a steal (and the price included a beat up, dirty..yet working Famicom clone), but the game was overpriced to the point where my Taiwanese girlfriend would have been angry had she known about it. Heh.
Those handbills look really nice. I recently found a (modern) set of Mario wall stickers and threw a few up on the wall by my gaming set up. I would love to have a few handbills hanging too, but due to the cost of those things, it just isn't worth hanging them and then taking the risk of getting them sunfaded.

Let me know if you change your mind. I have some more for cheap in my sale thread.
I know what you mean about hiding the prices of things. I've stopped that now and realised I was spending way too much on famicom stuff. I've since really regulated how much I spend, which is why I am selling stuff now to buy the MegaDrive.
I was only able to get that because Manuel gave me a great deal and even then it's been bought for me as a Christmas present by my awesome girlfriend.

Thanks, it has some very light crinkles, but that's fine by me. Ironically the Dracula 2 is my favourite, despite being the lowest condition out of these. The SMB USA is my least favourite, but is absolutely mint and pristine, it was also the cheapest. I have some duplicate handbills in my sale thread (check my sig) that I'll sell or trade for bargain prices. I am not buying so much anymore so I'm looking to get rid of this stuff.

Final Fight, unlicensed original game based off of Capcom's Final Fight series. I only had a few moments to play this game so far, but it seems excellent in terms of quality.
Another JY Company cart, just a boring cart with sports games.

Yeah. I just played through the game tonight on normal mode, and it was quite easy but superb. I started playing through it again on difficult mode, but then stopped part way through, because I was destracted by some other things going on in my life. :(
IMO, this game is excellent. At least on normal mode, it was not difficult at all, but it uses the superb stolen music, and the game controls are great...none of that glitch crap seen in so many unlicensed ports and stuff.

I found this lot a few days ago, and I bought it just for one game:

I'm really happy to finally found it.

Hi my friend,
Can you sell me that Cosmos Cop then? I have looking for that one for quite some time, can pay fair price too ;)

So I just picked up Akumajō Dracula I and II for the FDS and for II it ended up being Scramble Wars. I am trying to figure out how to play that now. but I am getting a replacement game sent so its not that bad.

My recent purchase of a totally unused* famicom+Disk System+Super Bee, I'm pretty sure all these games aren't legit! some look ok though!
The disk System still has the cardboard protector in the slot!
Only down side, missing the RF switch, and manuals, bummed about that, but picked all this us for $100 australian dollars!
*When i say unused, I'm not 100% on that, but there are NO marks in the cart slot, none of the plugs have the usual scratching from being pushed and pulled.
All in all, i think i totally scored!!!(https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/921652_10202528772365182_1697793670_o.jpg)

LOL, I had no idea either!
But the side of the box says:
FUNCTION:
Expansion of slot
Ejection of game tape
Protection of main computer
Bulb showing on/off
Linking up with drive controller
Yeah, I'm still confused lol!

Apparently its used to play Famicom games on the NES, but the pic on the side of the box shows it plugged into a Famicom! :o

I think the super slot protects your games pins more somehow (or your famicom's), though they seem pretty redundant. I've been looking for one for ages though.
If the converter is a NES to Famicom, you just insert the NES cart backwards when the converter is in your Famicom.

These are my first ever Famicom game purchases.
I am now no longer a Famicom Virgin :-* I am still waiting on a Famicom/Famiclone to play them on, but that's in the mail.
Slowly but surely the collection WILL get bigger :redcart:

Thats why i said i wasn't one hundred percent sure, i am going purely by the condition of the plugs etc, even the rubber feet on the bottom don't have any wear! I'm almost certain no one has used it, well, at the very least, i can hold onto the belief it hasn't been! ;D

Have you tried running it on Powerpak or Everdrive in the meantime?

Yeah, this is the first one that I'd seen on eBay in a long while. I fully expected to get sniped at the last moment since my bid wasn't all that high, but I guess no snipers were interested. I haven't really been looking for the games at all since I didn't have a way of playing them, so maybe they are fairly common?
I haven't tried using a flashcart since all I have is a Powerpak and no pin converter. Gotta get an Everdrive one of these days...

Awsome indeed! As I'm interested in both Famicom hardware and drawing this is pretty cool! But why don't you just get a pin converter. I'm not sure the Everdrive is that much better than the Powerpak yet.

Quote from: AlexRUS on November 28, 2013, 10:30:43 amIn some games like Nuts&Milk, Battletoads, Battletoads&DD the controller input doesn't work through this adapter, not sure why
That's because they weren't coded to read controller inputs through the expansion port, so you'll need to use the built-in controllers or replace the controllers with NES controller ports.

Thanks to this installment of gaming items, I need only 5 more A. Chudov Russian game carts, and one of them is more of a special, er competition cart or something, so I do not feel too bad if I never get that one. Any Russian folk out there willing to help me get these last few?

I just looked up a YouTube playthrough of it. It's kind of a knockoff/clone of Battle City. (My first guess looking at it was that it would just be a pirate version of Battle City, which has to be one of the most pirated games on the FC.) I did like the stage intro animation and music they added to it, though.

QuoteKing Tank is a rare unlicensed game made by Gamtec, the same folks that made Universe Soldiers and Thunderbolt 2. I have been looking for that game for awhile, if cieniu71 can get another or would like to sell me his, hehe
Exactly, King Tank is very difficult to find a game :) The game is similar to Battle City, but only as a game, charts and all other things are completely different. But I think that it is a pirate version battle city. Unfortunately not for sale :)

I'll try and make a youtube vid when it arrives.
Yeah, I usually hold out for the Pony Canyon laserdiscs (love the big beautiful cover art), but I make exceptions for VHS tapes now and again. Also some things were most likely never released on LD.
This baby will pair nicely with the vinyl record I got with the same cover art for the "Go Go Mario" song. Now I just need the cart repro of All NIght Nippon with the box & instructions. :)

I saw Ryo has one I think, it's the same guy making them at least it appears.
The irony being of course that the FDS version is the more desirable item to have! The repro is at it's heart still just a repro, albeit an exquisitely made one.

Haha yeah for most people the official FDS version would be more valuable, but to me I "value" the repro more. :crazy: Though I'd never trade/sell my FDS copy either.

I found a spare NES controller, so took one of my spare Famicom controllers and made this:
(http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/L___E___T/03A85F4F-4C7A-455F-9D61-98B5886C8207-1523-0000043C30E518CA_zpsa51d5bf1.jpg)
Now I can play on my AV Famicom with a legit Famicom controller that's more comfortable AND has a longer cord. Win-win, but it does mean I have a spare NES controller for a standard famicom now :)
Was pretty quick and easy, you don't even need a tri-wing screwdriver.

NES people are often uncomfortable with the chord on the side.

That looks great L___E___T,I have done this myself with the player one controller as well.
I also did this to my player 2 controller sometime ago,it was a pain getting the nes board in the case and plus had to add some tact switches for start and select but it turned out ok.

You have to do some cutting on the inside of the case to get it to fit.

I see the tact switches (missed them first time round) - was it easy enough to do? I might still go with the P1 version, but it would be nice if the mic could trigger start and select :)
I definitely think the Famicom controller is more ergonomic on the corners and sides of the controller because of the rib that goes around it. I personally think it looks nicer

Well I didn't actually find these, but but them all off the internet (and a few I traded for). Some unlicensed Korean games:

Metal Force just arrived today, though I had paid for it on December 31st, and thus it was technically my last purchase of 2013. Now I need to start cutting back on my Famicom buying, haha, guess that will not happen this year either. ;)
I also got these, which are Challenge of the Dragon, Menace Beach, and Crystal Mines for the Famicom...licensed by Color Dreams to Daou, unlicensed games though. :)

I'm glad you were able to make the deal with that Korean dude I put you in touch with. I'd bought several things from him when he listed on Nintendo Age, and I found him to be a totally stand-up dude. And while I did want that Metal Force and Koko Adventure, I knew I couldn't afford what he wanted for them. Nice to see them in another stellar collection, especially one where the guy is semi-public about it. (It's nice to see rarities like these.)

Just a bit of trivia / knowledge sharing! Choujin Sentai Jetman actually came out the year before (1991) the next show in the series, Kyouryuu Sentai Zyuranger (1992) came out, which is the series they used for the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (1993) in the US. As of today, there have actually been 38 Super Sentai series in Japan.

Just those two new CIBs and one loose. I think actually that one might have something supposed to go where the game is?
Looks like there's space in the polystyrene for batteries or something - even though it doesn't take batteries.

@ L_E_T So fess up... do you walk around the house with both guns strapped to each hip doing quick draws in the mirror? ;D Yet another in superb condition!

Heh, are you kidding? I couldn't unwrap it, it can never be touched!

Amuses me a little that I spent 7 years looking for a new one and then get two within 12 months of each other.
I mainly picked it up as a trade bargaining chip for later down the line when i can't find something or need to part exchange it. So give me a shout if it's something you're after.
As for the holster, a NES zapper in your sweatpants pocket is just as good to feel like Clint Eastwood..

That Wild Gunman with the holster is awesome, L E T. I have the set without the holster, which is cool but nowhere near as awesome.

Thanks Senseiman! You actually just reminded me I have a NIB one of those as well, love that red box Kosenjyuu!
I think it's because Hogan's Alley is my favourite Famicom game, or because I played Duck Hunt so much as a kid, or because these eluded me for so long - but I really do like to pick them up when I can.

This is all the games I've bought or received in a months time. I really went wild here, my wallet is suffering consequently.
top to bottom, left to right: Hebereke, Castlevania, Gargoyle's Quest 2 (Red Areemer 2), Super C, Ganbare Goemon 2, Gun-Dec (Vice Project Doom), Dengeki Big Bang (Clash at Demonhead), Asmik-kun Land, Cho-Wakusei MetaFight (Blaster Master), Magical Doropie (Krion Conquest), Choujin Sentai Jetman (Power Rangers?) and Cat Ninja Teyandee.
Phew. My Famicom collection is now at 46 cartridges and 10 disks.
Next purchase for me: Famicom 3D Glasses and Falsion!
I've had some of them. Telling you because you buy from me sometimes. They sometimes sell so fast you might not notice. :)
Actually sold Super Contra this Friday for 248 SEK (incl tax), garg quest II a week ago for 98 SEK, still have ganbare goemon 2 for sale for the same price. Jetman is more rare, I had it once , six months ago for 195 SEK, pizza cats sold 2 months ago for 175 SEK.
Never had Doropie or Castlevania and probably not dengeki. Had Hebereke once a long time ago. Had MetaFight once too, it is interesting because it is quite uncommon (didn't sell well in Japan), but not particularly pricey. Sold it for 95 SEK.
(prices include 25% VAT in the EU )

NIB? Cool! Mine has a nice box but not NIB. I`m glad actually, I would be reluctant to use it if it was!
I like Hogan`s Alley a lot too, I play it and Wild Gunman a lot (Duck Hunt only on occasion - I also had that one as a kid for my NES and I actually got so tired of it that 25 years later I still don`t play it too much!!)

It's so nice... Yeat again a staggering find from our man Ryo! What's the full story behind the white stationary set? I'm familiar with the yellow one bt had not seen this before.
Ryo I'm actually travelling around June time to your area to visit extended family - hoping I can come and see your museum in person one day.

The black cart is harder to find than the red one. I would guess about 30 or 40 red for every 1 black cart judging from this picture;
http://famicomblog.blogspot.jp/2012/01/whole-lot-of-baseball-games.html
I don't know why they come in two colors, most of the other Jaleco carts like that only came in one.

Tak, wiem, że samoróbka, ale wrzuciłam bo cenię sobie tę grę :)
Muszę przyznać, że ta ruska konsola jest fantastyczna jeśli chodzi o czytanie cartów. Super odczytuje to, z czego MT-777DX robił mozaiki lub wcale nie odczytywał.

Co do Battletoads, fakt mega gra, akurat trafiłem z niecały rok temu w pirackiej wersji ale z oryginalnym labelem na allegro. Cenie sobie tego carta, bo wiadomo znana gra. Szukam teraz Lickle (Looking for pirate games Lickle, I hope that I can buy...) :)

Do you guys in Poland and Russia the surrounding area prefer Dendy and pirates to the otiginal Japanese releases? I suppose when you think about the Dendy/pirates ARE the original releases for those territories. So, does that mean Lickle pirates still go for quite a lot?

Hello everyone,
I purchased a game cartridge a while ago from a second hand store thinking it would fit a game console I had. It didn't fit so I just chucked it aside. I've just rediscovered and wanting to sell it but I have no idea what game console it fits. I was hoping someone could help me. It's a Castlevania game but that's as far as my knowledge goes. I have some pictures attached. Also, I apologise if I am posting in the wrong area!

Japanese original games in Poland are little known and hardly anyone buys them (at auction). In the 90's in Poland were the only pirate game and everyone is used to them :)

I didn't think there were handbills for any of these titles, so I feel lucky to receive this as a surprise. It's a relatively small brochure, but I love all of these games and consider them masterpieces, so am going to try and find another now to frame. I didn't know this printed material existed, so the drawing if Gimmick! is completely new to me, fan-drawn or otherwise.
I also received a whole bunch of other format handbills and some movie chirashi.
I'll post the other handbills in the Other Gaming thread if anyone's interested to see those.

Oh I meant to share this - a new issue of Retro Gamer special - features pieces on every major retro gaming machine, including the Famicom and the NES (and I think maybe the FDS too). Here are some snaps for anyone interested:

It's been a (rare) good week for FC/SFC games. Everything here totals about $25 and was all shipped within the US. The Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest stuff was actually a trade for Super Xevious and Flipull.

Only super nazo puyo puyo is playable for non-Japanese speaker, and even that has an RPG mode.

Haha, well it's a good thing I can 日本語を読む. The Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy games are a bit of a stretch for me, but I have been enjoying Deep Dungon and Famicom Jump very much (I'm a sucker for crossover games). I'm actually pretty rubbish at Puyo Puyo, but it was a great deal on the CIB game and it's always fun to put in the SFC when you are bored and possibly drunk with friends~

Like I said, I am sucker for cross over games. I own Jump Super Stars (DS), Jump Ultimate Stars(DS), Sunday VS Magazine (PSP) and I will be buying J-Stars Victory Vs (PS Vita) when it comes out in March.
For now though, I just need to find a CIB copy of Famicom Jump II :P

The black cart is harder to find than the red one. I would guess about 30 or 40 red for every 1 black cart judging from this picture;
http://famicomblog.blogspot.jp/2012/01/whole-lot-of-baseball-games.html
I don't know why they come in two colors, most of the other Jaleco carts like that only came in one.
If I remember correctly they needed more copies of it, and used the shells from Yokai Club to house new PCB boards in.

@ Flemishdog
That's wild, if true. It seems... wrong to be using surplus parts from a decent platformer to ship more copies of a damned baseball game.
As for recent Fami-finds... I picked up quite a bit of stuff with my Christmas gift money over the past month and a half. Unfortunately, the goods didn't really start to show up until after the turn of the new year, and I've been so obsessed with the Beat Every NES Game challenge on Nintendo Age that I've still got a dozen Famicom carts in my room that I haven't tested yet.
Among the things I have gotten around to playing, I picked up a Vaus controller for Arkanoid, a copy of Don Doko Don 2, SDF, and Star Wars (Namcot... thanks, senseiman!). Among the things I'm still going to get around to testing someday soon: Daiku no Gen-San 2 (thanks, Nightstar!), Kero Kero Keroppi no Splash Bomb, Great Battle Cyber, Twinbee 3, Flying Hero, and the Felix the Cat pirate sequel (again, thanks to Nightstar).

And no problem, enjoy them. I absolutely adored the creative boss battles in Daiku No Gen-San 2, though the game is overall less polished than the original, it's still quite good.

Hi!
I bought a famicom disk system and "Solomon no Kage" from the user Senseiman.
FDS had a broken belt.
I already had a belt to FDS. Today I replaced the belt and calibrated the device. I bought Super Metriod FDS and twice I do not know why I got stuck playing the game, but now I played an hour and everything works well I'm happy. I had to buy a voltage transformer 110V/220V. In Europe, the voltage is 220v and 110v in Japan. Everything works, I'm happy :))

Here there are some of my pickups from this year.
January 7 (yeah, it's already close to the end of February, but I haven't posted it earlier for some reason :/)

Earthworm Jim 3
Ferrari GP Challenge
Flintstones - The Rescue of Dino & Hoppy
Final Mission
Grand Combat (aka. Chip & Dale)
Super Bros. 6 (aka. Tiny Toon Adventures)
Robocop 4 (aka. Robocop 3)
Monster in my Pocket
2-in-1 (Captain America, Flash Batman)
6-in-1 (Road Fighter, Excite Bike, F-1 Race, Zippy Race, Mach Rider, City Connection)
28-in-1 (Mortal Kombat II Hummer Team, Tecmo World Cup Soccer, Track&Field, Super Mario Bros, F-1 Race, Battle City, Road Fighter, Excitebike, Zippy Race, Exerion, Star Force, Sky Destroyer, Macross, Dig Dug, Bomberman, Pac-Man, Lode Runner, Circus Charlie, Duck Hunt, Magic Jewelry)
75-in-1 (Dr.Mario, The Legend of Kage, Lunar Ball, Road Fighter, Tennis, Galaxian)
And my very recent pickups.
(https://fbcdn-photos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/t1/1920323_771545016208677_186199330_n.jpg)
Yeah, I got these extensive multicarts that have a lot of games on them as opposed to these 9999999in1 type of carts.
150 in 1 Real Game and 400 in 1 Real Game.
Well, the first multicart is pretty self-explanatory. You can even check out the review of it by PirateGamingHeavy for closer look at the games included in it ;)
But 400 in 1... Let's say that it's kind of like "23+222 in 1 Real Game" multicart, except with more games on it and fewer repeats. The list of the games is quite long, and I was able to play only a few games on it yet, but this cart is awesome for the most part. (I might post a list about all the included games later here or on my blog (http://somerussianmariodude.blogspot.ru/?m=1)) The plastic case is not too bad, but it feel cheap and the cart is very light.
But the best thing that I found about it is that it works without graphical glitches on a real hardware! I am not kidding. I bought it and didn't even modify it at all and it works great, so if you hate glob-top, NOaC Famiclones and/or PAL slowdown (unlike me that's tolerable for me), you can buy it straight away and play on Famicom with no problem.

Hi!
I bought a famicom disk system and "Solomon no Kage" from the user Senseiman.
FDS had a broken belt.
I already had a belt to FDS. Today I replaced the belt and calibrated the device. I bought Super Metriod FDS and twice I do not know why I got stuck playing the game, but now I played an hour and everything works well I'm happy. I had to buy a voltage transformer 110V/220V. In Europe, the voltage is 220v and 110v in Japan. Everything works, I'm happy :))

I am happy to see you have it working!! Hope it gives you many years of FDS fun!

Sadly finds like that are super rare these days. I actually once pulled a copy of Gimmick for 100 yen myself so I know how awesome it feels ;D
The trick is to be in the right place (a shop with clerks who know nothing about retro games) at the right time (within about 10 seconds of them putting it on the shelf, before someone else snaps it up)!

This is a different copy then the one I showed you guys before. I investigated my other copy and it turned out to be a fake.
EDIT: I think the manuel has curvature when it's in the plastic box because it's only 20 pages long and extremely short compared to other Famicom disk manuels.

Sadly the Eggerland: Departure To Creation did not come with the instructions.

Nice. One thing I like about FDS games, if they comes with a manual it's often in good shape (unless it's a fold-out manual). I wonder if it looks different inside from the normal SMB manual.

When I get the original SMB complete for the disk system, I'll compare them. The one thing in the ANN manual I think is different is a section that appears to be dedicated to the djs who appear on the game's front cover. If anyone who could read Japanese pretty good give a brief summary about this section, that
d be great.

A bit hard to read but here's a rough translation:
One day in the All Night Nippon land of dreams Viva Kingdom where the mushroom people lived, the great ruling demon king Great Turtle Kuppa's clan that weared powerful magic came and invaded. The obedient mushroom clan was turned into stones, bricks and mikes by that magic power. They also turned into personalities of All Night Nippon like Nakajima Miyuki, Tonneruzu, Beat Takeshi and AB Brothers. The poor SunPlaza Nakano was tricked by Great Turtle Kuppa's letter that he had slipped into the "Maboroshi no Shoubaihanjou koonaa" (Phantom Prosperous Business Corner - name of a TV program that SunPlaza Nakano is in) and SunPlaza Nakano set out for Great Turtle Kuppa's place. He was then turned into the Kuppa Clan underling "Okapii".
The only one that could dispel the magic and restore the mushrooms and revive All Night Nippon was the princess of the Viva Kingdom, Princess Peach. But she was now in Great Demon King Kuppa's hands.
Mario took action in order to rescue the personalities in every world, while defeating the Kuppa clan and rescuing the princess to once again restore peace to the All Night Nippon land of dreams Viva Kingdom. Mario inside the TV is the All Night Nippon listener, you. The only one that can complete this adventure quest is you.
The personalities at the bottom reads:
Miyuki, Takaaki, Noritake, KYON, Takeshi, Macchan, Hidechan and Okapii. Their real (stage) names is written in the parentheses.

Same here. I love the video game related/themed board games. However I prefer the old ones from 80s and some early 90s. The ones that came out later seem to lack "soul" and personality imho.
Other japanese board games I've got so far are super dodgeball (reall neat launchers on it), dai makaimura and cho maikaimura. Also got a couple more in my recent haul, but have yet to "process" them.

I got it in a lot of odd accessories (such as a pc engine mouse, sega taps, barcode boy, gamecube modems...) so it wasn't expensive.
I think 45$ is a reasonable price, but that is what I think as a reseller.

Very nice! I've been wanting to get some of those myself, but I can't seem to find anything like that here. The one time I did see one, it was in terrible condition.

Nice. I have one of those exact models.
It was in great condition, and then I dropped it when bringing into my house and chipped one of the corners :-[
I also love the faux-woodgrain. I have a faux-woodgrain clock/radio on top my cassette holder, and have that next to a small TV with woodgrain paneling ;D

I've gone and done it now... I've won some pretty awesome famicom gear/memorabilia in the past few weeks (will post pics later), but today's win is the grand cherry on top.... just won a silver Sharp C1! :star: (pics below taken from both auctions)
Actually had to piece it together over 2 auctions. A few weeks ago I won an auction for a pair of silver Sharp C1 controllers. At the time I thought it was for the whole unit (not just controllers only), especially considering what the bidding and final went for.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/jviloria/January2014/SetA/FamicomTV/hammrex-img600x450-13931769973qtgx993228_zpsc83184ba.jpg~original)
I started regretting having won it. Lot of dough for some "nice looking" controllers I'd never be able to use due to their special plugs. But everything happens for the better and a reason... as a few days ago, an actual silver Sharp C1 TV unit popped up. Dropped in my bid and crossed my fingers. Have wanted one for a while, unfortunately much rarer than it's NES and SFC counterparts.
As of this morning victory was mine! ;D

It's missing the front glass, but maybe I can have a new one cut locally. Might be a blessing in disguise too that will save on shipping. I've shipped CRT TVs from Japan to the States before...

So controllers were sold separately? That's interesting. Would you mind showing a pic of the box?
As for the C1 itself... I've heard all of these are RGB internally, unlike the SFC units where only the larger 19" one has an RGB connection from the TV to the SFC unit?

Not sure if they were sold separately as such, could be they just came like this within an outer box - the box itself doesn't have retail markings.
It's this one - from the site:

I'm guessing TV NOTE is some kind of music program?

You say that, but I had a (free) shell ready and waiting here for you that you didn't want to pay postage on - so it went to someone else. I gave it a good 6 months before doing so, to be fair.

Sounds like a good trade, but if you didn't think you would get a flashcart, why was I hanging on to the shell for you? :bub:
It's ok, no hard feelings but I wanted to give you a free thing and it felt like you weren't fussed, so I guess you hurt my feelings a tiny bit. No worries though, I don't want you to feel bad about it!

Congratulations on that copy of Papuwa! I can't stress that game's greatness enough, as well as the anime it's based on.
thanks :) but you are the reason I sought it out I seen you post it in an earlier post still looking for a few other you liked like dino city see lurking has some advantages ;D
Glad to see I've inspired someone to try out some great games. While you're at it, do yourself a favor and seek out GS Mikami on the Super Famicom, as well as Zenki: Battle Raiden. I just got the latter the other day and I've been enjoying it a lot.

Another vote for SFC GS Mikami. One of my top favorite games on the console.

I've purchased some nice things this year, but haven't really had time to take pictures of them. But here are some things I picked up yesterday:
Game Fighter:
The box is in terrible condition, and the unit is in PAL format. Because of needing a converter plug to run the machine, I am a bit afraid to test it out. About ten years ago I (possibly) fried a Dendy in this fashion, when I was young and stupid.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tracker465/th_IMG_2659_zpsc6fd457a.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/tracker465/media/IMG_2659_zpsc6fd457a.jpg.html)
As you can see, this machine has slots to play both Famicom and Sega Mega Drive games. Quite a machine which was ahead for its time, I guess, also being all built into a joystick.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tracker465/th_IMG_2655_zps4e9babda.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/tracker465/media/IMG_2655_zps4e9babda.jpg.html)

And of course some controller ports and switches:

I also enjoy the fact that the machine is advertised as being 24 bit - I presume they get this number from adding the 8 bit Famicom and 16 bit Sega together, but in reality the conclusion of 24 bit is just funny.
I also found a generic Famicom clone, but I enjoy the box for it:

And finally, an official Taiwanese Sega Mega Drive (this one is up for sale if anyone is interested):

Got around to processing more stuff from my mega haul from Japan a while back. Decided to tackle famicom related stuff I could find in the shipping boxes. Here are some of them. Lots more famicom goodness to come! ;D
Got another boxed fami twin. This time the AN-500R. Also a Disk Writer fami diskette storage unit, mini Super Mario Bros boardgame, Famicom gun & holster, Tokyo Game Show Nintendo Sign and accompanying Gold Mario statue and fami Robot setup.

AMAZING.
I posted in the other thread - but what's the white box gun? Is it just from the red box? I have the red one but I don't think I've seen the white one before...
I do hope I can get the gold sign and gold chubby Mario at some point too. They go together like Famicom and Disk System :bub:

Yup it's a stand-alone holster. I guess there was an option to buy the holster separately. Eventually I'd like to get the pack that has the gun and holster together in one box too, but no rush.

White gun box for the complete (new) set with holster? I think I am missing that white box for my collection and I'm ot sure of my chances of getting it otherwise.
The gun & holster set is very rare, this I have is only the second one I've seen in new condition in around 8 years or so of collecting.

Maybe I have got the gun in the white box, I can't remember - I got all the gun stuff some years back, so there's a chance I may already have it, let me tryand find out...
New holster sets are fewand far between though so maybe it's something you're interested in.

Thanks for the offer, but I think I've got some leads on those Wild Gunman sets... however right now I'm somewhat looking for a really nice condition boxed metal Ascii stick and nice condition boxed yellow Hudson stick. Unfortunately a lot of the boxes are really messed up or appear sun faded. :( No rush though, there are plenty of other things I kinda look for ;D
You have to go to the source to find things... Japan! ;)

Unused labels for pirate Whirlwind Manu games. I love the unused bootleg labels, and I hope to get some more sometime.
Two pirate Famicom carts -- both of these are in Konami-eque style carts, though both also do not load up, at least from my attempts. I still love the way these two carts look, and just wonder so badly what treasures might have been on them.

That's a shame. The label/sleeve for "Eternity Golden Game" is especially interesting, buuut... I guess its name foretells how long it'll take before we find out what's on it.

You bought Stealthlurker's EDN8?
Famicom light guns boxed fetch a pretty penny indeed. I have some spare loose NES zapper style ones for Famicom (for cheap) if you want one in the meantime.

LoL nah I just snabbed same pic cuz I was lazy :D mine hasn't even arrived yet... infact I don't even expect mine until a week or two.
I bought a russian console with glock gun as zapper :D I will test that :P But yes I maybe really really interested famizapper u have. Is it the same one which is on ebay?
Ohhh if anyone is in Japan right now, there is some really cool items up for auction, you lucky guys! :P I'd rather not bid on them thru third party sites cuz of the super much extra costs.
Here's some games which arrived yesterday + the day before that:

Really awesome that's why I like buying big lots of famicom games that you don't know what all games they contain cause you can find treasures like this. This reminds me of this dumb ass guy that unknowingly cleaned off shigeru miyamoto signature on a game & watch. http://www.damntechnology.blogspot.ca/2010/09/how-to-disassemble-and-clean-game-watch.html?m=1 :-[ what in ass.

@nerdynebraskan Congrats on the complete AV famicom! Looks like it's in great condition too.
@senseiman Wow that signed cart is like a gift from above! :o
@L_E_T Great haul! Especially digging that case and Dragonquest record! That case is extra cool for 2 reasons... one it was a gift from your other and two it totally reminds me of the japanese super dodgeball! Down to the color and pattern with the lettering.... the window with the logo is a cool touch too. NICE!
By the way, what's that red "adapter" like item?? Also I just noticed it... what's up with that Christian Dior behind the carts ;D

SMB2j is broken. It only has world 1-4. When you beat 4-4 the game just hangs up with a black screen. On AV Famicom when you reset the multicart sometimes shows you a glitched screen. This multi isn't that good imo.

@Masterdisk - I forget which JY-XXX has the full version on it, thought from the excitement it might have been this one :)
@Stealthlurker - the red adaptor is just a cart cleaning device, it has slots to clean the Famicom and Super Famicom bays, then on the back a little other pen-like extension to clean carts with. I've had to use it on some, it works well.
The Dior bag was the only sturdy white bag I could find, from one of my lady's handbags. I try and keep the boxes she doesn't want and use them as luxury cart/game/console boxes. Stick a bit of foam in and they work well, they look nicer than keeping things in storage boxes and I don't have to hide them out of sight. I still prefer Famicom cases though.
@Nerdynebraskan - That is a great AV Famicom! Is it the first you've had? If so let us know how it fits after a couple of weeks - when I first upgraded to one I wasn't sure but now I recommend them to everybody, they're so good aren't they!

And, LET... why two copies of Ghostbusters 2?

I know what you mean, I have one loose that I play with here but a brand new one stacked away somewhere. If not for that I think I'd want a CIB.
Oh, two Ghostbusters because one is going to get flashed with an improvement mod. I can't stand seeing poor green Winston...

Found this last week at a fleamarket over here in Finland.
Wholesale set sealed, 18 different games + 1 new Robin Hood.
156 euros. Too much?

It's less than 10 Euro per sealed game - I think you could flip 'em easily enough, so if you have an interest in them, then it's surely worth it.

Also, want to give a big thanks to Louis on here for helping me get many of the games in the picture, as well as the bonuses he sent me. Sometimes transactions take a long time to materialize, but boy they sure can be worth the wait ;D

Barbie is a platformer, not a very good one though. It was never officially released on Famicom though, so you can only get it with Famiclone cart!

Nice carts, overall this is my favourite thread on the boards I think, maybe the Other Gaming finds as well with all Stealthlurker's treasures in!
Thanks to Stealthlurker I was able to pick up one of the Famicom Revolver Holsters:

Got some new Fami games thanks to Senseiman - have been looking for Dragon Fighter in particular for a while:

All of these are great fun so far, apart from Tom Sawyer if I'm honest. I just got it because it's a Square title.

There's a seller on YHJ that keeps relisting them, I may get another as this box is a tad crumpled even though the inside is beautifully new.
Cosmic Epsilon is very polished and good fun, but Dragon Fighter was the main game for me. I'm not very good at it so far, but it feels very balanced and iterative - the graphics and music are great.
I do find it odd though that the main character is decked out in Dragon Armour, running around hacking down what appear to be dragon brethren :D

Ok I read up on the controls and story, it does all make sense in that archetypical NES storyline way, which is ace.

I totally agree! I love seeing what the other collectors post, and am happy that they are willing to share their finds / collections with me. Also, very nice holster, L___E___T, I would love to see pics of your hardware collection some day. I have very little hardware in my collection, and I think I would be thrown off the balcony if I collected more of it ;)
On another note, I found two boxes of scratch off cards a few days ago, thanks to a connection I have here. These cards are bad ass, and there are a lot of cards to a box (maybe 500, I'm not sure). Not sure if I should just keep these boxed, scratch a few off, mail them off to FW members when they purchase games from me, etc. Not sure, any ideas? I guess I could redo the bedroom wall, since it needs repainted anyway, lol.

This is kind of an oddball find. A Bandai cart with the label upside down. Must have put it through the labelling machine at the factor the wrong way. I`ve never seen one like this before, anyone else?

That's actually really nice I think - a nice oddity and evidence of production history - I'm quite surprised that one slipped through the net as well.
Post Merge: June 08, 2014, 12:33:00 pm
Haha, believe me this has been discussed, it's something I'm becoming more and more aware of. We have a term at home to describe our living conditions - it's 'a box life' because there are boxes and bags of stuff just everywhere. Games, clothes, shoes, crisps/chips, noodles, old receipts, paper, all sorts of shit litters my room and it's a constant struggle to try and keep on top of it.
As a result a lot of my stuff has gone off to storage, where I worry about it. I think in honesty I will probably sell the lot, as a lot in a few years time and keep my loose carts potentially. Recently I started to collect a whole bunch of the best games as loose carts - but even that has turned into an expensive hobby and I've run out of space for it all. Could I manage with one AV Famicom and an Everdrive? I'm, I'm not sure...
Either way there will be a chance to take all of this stuff out and photograph / documemt it at some stage. I'm a few pieces away from a complete Famicom hardware collection, apart from the pieces I couldn't find brand new. I have a Titler left to get, a Twin Famicom and some small bits that I should be able to locate without too much trouble. Someone could open a shop with it all, or ideally a Famicom Museum.
There's a guy my mother used to work for that decided to collect old advertising memorabilia and built an impresive collection but more impressively he built a museum to house it all in. It was amazing to walk through on 'take your kid to work' days and feel like you'd gone back in time, to a time I myself had never even seen.
Based in London now, here's his website:
http://www.robertopiecollection.com/
Funnily enough, he has my old TV in there too plus some stuff from when I was young that is now considered modern antiques.
If you get a chance to visit London, please check this place out as it's very charming and a very unique site in a great part of London. Famicom fans will 'get it' (AWAAAA).
TL;DR - I want to open a Famicom museum :bub:

Skip to 1 minute 40 seconds to skip my initial babble. Also, Abadox isn't a platformer like I said in the video haha, it's a shmup :P Also I meant Mega Man 9 and 10 for PS3 and not 8 and 9 :P

Does it save?
No, there's no SRAM chip nor a spot for a battery
I'd argue with that, while there truly isn't a battery spot to be found anywhere on the board, the SRAM is indeed present, to support that, you can easily create a player profile in such games that utilize this feature as Zelda or in Bombliss, successfully reset the entire console (of course using the Reset button, not the ON/OFF switch) and your saves spots are still gonna be available UNTIL you overwrite it running some other game that uses SRAM.
As for the SMB2j I can't confirm that at the moment, will try to get past level 4-4, however I was using my Twin "The Beast" Famicom for the whole time (as well as some other legit famiclones) and haven't seen no glitches of any kind, I dunno about that MD.

You can try with a cheat code for SMB2j.
Press the direction then press start (and keep pressing the d-pad until the stage screen appear)
Right + Start = 1-1
Right-Up + Start 2-1
Up + Start = 3-1
Up-Left + Start = 4-1
Left + Start = 5-1
Left-Down + Start = 6-1
Down + Start = 7-1
Down-Right + Start = 8-1
From 5-1 to 8-1, they should all crash the game or load the [x-4]-1 stage.
You can access A B C D by pressing A and the same buttons. I think it crashes the game too (but i'm not sure...?)

This weekend I had some amazing finds, well to me anyway. Really pumped about Gun Dec, as I've always loved the game on the NES, and wanted to own this one on Famicom, especially CIB, but never thought I would get a chance without paying crazy prices. But I found one yesterday for a nice price.

Also, I found this Famicom clone. Really love it, never saw one like it before.

Nice find on the DQIII vinyl, it's the only OST out of the original quadrilogy I've left to get, let a brother know if you see another! :D

Nice! I am really glad to see some love for this on here, it's a particular favourite of mine. I have two of these in the end and also the game loose, because I really love the idea of what this is. Like you I also fondly remember Hang Out arcade machines and the like, which were particularly fun for me because I was too young to ride a real sports bike and my Pop is a massive motorcycle fan (he helps run a FW-like site for old Japanese bikes) too.
Unlike you however, I have never been brave enough to test it out, so I thoroughly enjoyed the blog post! Such grace! :D
I was able to find a brand new one from Panama years and years ago when I fist moved to London, but when it arrived customs had destroyed the box looking for something undesirable inside, I was furious. Luckily, I found another brand new one some years later, so I have one sitting around for when I have kids of my own one day, or at least as a display piece.
Pro Tip when inflating anything like this if you don't have an airpump or similar lying around - use a hairdryer through a cardboard tube (like a wrapping paper one) to quickly inflate with cool air. If you don't use the cardboard tube, it can get too hot.

LOL, if you ever get the chance do test it out! Just don`t do it when anyone else is around unless you want to get laughed at ;D
Good tip about the hair dryer, next time I will try it that way.
And that totally sucks about customs messing up the box, that is one of the best parts (I wish I had one CIB)!

From 5-1 to 8-1, they should all crash the game or load the [x-4]-1 stage.
You can access A B C D by pressing A and the same buttons. I think it crashes the game too (but i'm not sure...?)
Yes MD, you was right about the missing (or not loading) later stages, that's odd, however the cartridge runs nice and smooth on any of my consoles, original or not. Thanks anyway for pointing this out tho.

Hey, if you have a duplicate, please let me know and I would love to purchase it off of you.
I (well my brother and I) have a CIB copy of the game, US version, from when we were growing up. My brother had seen the game in one of his strategy guides as a kid, and of course I was 5 years younger and my reading was not nearly as advanced as his, so I just looked at the pics and he would read the articles / reviews. We then were at Sears one day with the folks and happened to see that game for sale. I'm not exactly sure what happened next, though my brother would certainly remember, but we ended up buying the game then and there and ever since have been playing it. I think Nemo is a fun game, but it also has a lot of nostalgic value for me.

Nah, it's okay my friend, but thanks for the offer. ;) I have this game on a bootleg single cart (so I can play it anytime I want), but also want to get it on a legitimate cart some day. But if you do have an extra official copy, please let me know, and I would gladly purchase it from you :)

The orange color cart he was selling. its ok though I will find another one some day :link: There was a pink cart zelda 2 on ebay as well but he was selling it for $135 plus $45 for shipping and there was no way I was going to pay that for a clone or reproduction when I could make one of those my self with real nintendo chips.

Most things I get via auction. So sometimes it's full market and sometimes it's a little less, sometimes it's a lot less.... But yeah commission and shipping on YAJ auctions.
L__E__T knows what's up ;D
Just to put things into perspective, the ANN video tape, Takahashii Meijin leather cap and Hudson leather bag are much harder to find than the ANN game. Also the Running Boy (aka Star Soldier no Himitsu) tape is pretty darn hard to find also. :)

All Night Nippon Mario is one of the games I want eventually. I haven't made it clear yet, but Mario is in fact my favorite series. After I collect all the games I want to play loose, I'm planning to collect every Mario game CIB. Those are the only CIB games I want.

I know L_E_T always has money.. He must be rich or something!!I am very jealous and would kill for even quarter of the stuff he's got. I do find good stuff on ebay and think its a great price for most items I find then after winning, I always get screwed for shipping charges. for instance I just bought a original Famicom console slightly yellowed and needs new power and reset stickers but otherwise in great condition for $25. then had to pay $40 for shipping :( and the little shipping chart on the auction said I would have to only pay $17 for shipping. same goes for most Famicom games I get. I might win a game for say 2 or 3 bucks and end up paying $10-20 for shipping.Whats the secret here cause I see people buying shit loads of games and stuff and I know they are getting deals and not via ebay so could some one clue me in cause I want some famicom stuff for cheap!! ;D

No secret or trick to Ebay shipping. It's usually written flat out and if not it'll be somewhere in the description. I've never had shipping randomly change on me like it did to you.

The good stuff costs money, don't be fooled about that.
A good game will cost more than 2-3$, usually...
Of course anyone gets lucky sometimes.
Shipping cost is usually stated clearly, unless you want to go for EMS in the end. But it can be difficult to understand the shipping chart. Sometimes their cheap shipping is only for unregistered sea mail, and sometimes their cheapest shipping don't apply to one's country.
One way to avoid high shipping cost is to only buy from sellers in the same country. Of course the price is usually a bit higher then. So in the end, games usually cost and I think most collectes have paid close to normal price for the majority of their purchases. A game for 10$ one might find for 5$ in an auction. A game for 100$ one might get for 50$ in an auction. But very rarely for 5$. Etc.
There is a reason, after all, there are other bidders who also want to make finds. But taking a risk buying something others might not know about or from some more unknown seller is more likely to make "finds". People prefer to bid high on nice looking professional sellers. Bidding on lesser known sellers could give cheaper auctions -- but also a greater risk involved.
Well, in the end, games cost. Experienced bidders can often make finds a bit cheaper and sometimes a LOT cheaper, but after all they usually have to pay for the goods.
There is also a Buy and Sell on this forum with good prices on a lot of games, even 2-3$ games.

Can't, it's not a VHS..... it's beta. Don't have a player right now. Shame because a few years ago I bought a NOS CIB D-VHS player for transfers. An actual high def (1080i) VHS player with component output. Even cleans up and up scales standard VHS tapes. Native DVHS tapes look amazing. Almost bluray quality.

LOL, have you seen some of the other collectors here? I don't have a lot of money, but I buy games instead of going out drinking and what not, maybe a couple hundred bucks a month on games and that is still too much for me really.
Trust me I am not rich yet, remember I have been collecting stuff like this bit by bit month by month for coming up ten years. A lot of the hardware I bought a long time ago when things were still relatively cheap.
I bought a brand new Famicom never opened with a brand new Zelda for £250 shipped back then which I saved up a long time for and the bug just bit. I don't spend that much these days.
My advice if you want stuff cheap is to first make a list of what you're after. Single, common games you can get from eBay, but I wait to get particular games from friends in Japan. Lately, I've found Senseiman has the best prices going so I bought some pricier games from him especially.
To save on shipping - you need to buy in bulk. That's why I try and buy around a dozen games at a time as a rule because then it's a buck or two shipping per game rather than ten bucks.
Making a list will help because collecting this stuff can easily get out of hand. I thought I had all the loose games I wanted but then made a last list and it was already massive again!

Yeah thanks for the info L_E_T,
I have been buying abunch of stuff here lately from users on these forums and I am currently in negotiations with senseiman for some games and possibly that last famicom console.I understand it takes money and time to buy nice games and am not looking to get stuff for nothing.I am just not rich or well off like a lot of people around here seem to be so I have to buy a few games here and there.You know a problem I have been running into lately is I keep buying games I think I really want but it turns out after I buy them, I already end up having them in my collection from previous purchases.Trying to find a way to stop from doing this by making a list of the games I have but I have close to 600 loose games and a lot of them i am not even sure what they are cause they have only japanese text and titles.Anyways enough rambling.. Just a quick question how do you all store you famicom games?? Pictures would be great.. right now half are in plastic drawer tote thing and the other half is packed up in cardboard boxes.:(

Hey Bluecow, here's what I've done with my famicom games. Ultimately I'd like to have some large nice drawers I can pull out of a chest of some kind... but here's what I've done for now.
There are over 600 carts here I think, in 6 rubber maid containers.. I just recently moved the game room, so I was able to put these guys and their shelves into the walk in closet. I've been excited to do this to protect them from sun rays.

What do you think? Hardly ideal, but without it works for now. And thanks to the shelves and closet, I can walk in, pop a lid, and find a game. They're not at all organized though.

Famicom games are nice, because you can easily identify most of them via the ID# on the carts. Just do a search in the FW database and voila, you got the name! I took the info from the FW database, formatted the list to my tastes a bit, and then printed it off and put it in a big binder (and also kept the list on the computer, for easy access). Then I check off the games, every time I get something new. I did this for the licensed games and licensed disks (made separate lists that take up separate spaces in the binder), and then for the unlicensed stuff, I use the info from my person lists, which are a bit more thorough (imo).
I've bought multiples before as well, but luckily only the $1 - $2 kind of mistake.

Yep thats what my plastic drawer thing kinda looks like. it looks like 3 of those plastic storage totes high with 4 or 5 columns of games wide and 2 stacks of game on top of each others so there are about 3-400 games in total in the drawers. I also keep my prized games which are in those totes in a dark room so they dont get sun damage. all my doubles or ones I could care less about are in my living room on display on a shelf.soon as I figure out how to post pictures I will share them. Out of my finds for this week I got a Original Famicom console "Finally", shipped from japan which is in my possession now for only a total of $35.00 and I also found a brand new famiclone from russia called a dendy which cost me about the same.its multi shades of grey in color instead of the traditional red and white that the famicom is. My famicom is a bit yellowed so I am retro brightening it today. I am still out to find a nice new white one.Hopefully next month I can get me a Famicom Disk System if the price is right.

I didn't spend much on mine, but 450yen puts it to shame, and it's in better condition.
Why was it priced so low? Unwise game store?

Sorry for the mislead! I have brought shame on myself, but I wanted to see if it got instantly noticed or not :)
I originally got it to consider using as a box for my loose cart (for MY loose cart, not to trick any buyers or anything), but with the back so different it looks pretty silly.
So, on the one hand it doesn't look so different from the top (it's the exact same size), but I assure you the bottom and sides completely give the game away and look very different.
Still a nice little cheap extra, I wonder if there are other for Makaimura and the like.

You can play Sky Kid in 2-player mode too... (coop) Not that I think it is very much fun, but possibly somehow a laughable game.

Found this interesting Famicom (clone?) at a swapmeet today.
(http://hostthenpost.org/uploads/5701fe2e62c71945ea8c060904e5bb34.jpg)
Oddly enough it has AV ports on the front side of the console and the "TV < > GAME" switch in the back seems to change the console from running on NTSC to PAL (or SECAM not sure).

Well I tested it further and found some weird things about it, on some games the screen "bends" at certain points and when the pallet switches on the game it somewhat fixes it self.
The beginning of the intro to Rockman 4.
(http://hostthenpost.org/uploads/05602cf6e1c7a00dfcbb4c288e8b95d8.jpg)
The pallet switches and it's not as bent as before.
(http://hostthenpost.org/uploads/d86cd53112e40c488c7b1178ad2291ed.jpg)
This thing is messed up, good thing I only paid $15 for it.

Thanks man, also big thanks for you know what ;)
Yeah I was scared at first... upon turning it on the colors were not right in spots. Like someone had run a magnet around it. Unfortunately there is no built-in degauss function. I started to panic, but ordered a degaussing coil a few days ago. The coil came in this afternoon, fired up the coil and moved it in circular motions while pulling away and making larger circles... voila! Fixed it. All the colors were spot on and picture was sharp. phew!!! :-[

Got another Disk Write disk storage caddy, this time boxed!

LOVE those caddies, I just wish (ahem) someone had a real life giant version.
Yes I will keep you in mind for that controller - it's a genuine OEM box and even has the protective film on the controller. I'll have to find it first of course..

Finally got my hands on the Party Tap. I'm a sucker for esoteric controllers, and I've been waiting a long while to grab this at a decent price. I have the box, insert, and manual, as well (not pictured). Too bad the game is kinda dull. Would probably be fun with multiple people, though.

Hmmmm, that's a tough one, but top 3 I would rank them like this;
1)Nekketsu Kakutō Densetsu (tournament style fighting game)
2)Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari (River City Ransom)
3)Kunio-kun no Nekketsu Soccer League (second soccer game)
I have to say that now that I own them all Nintendo/Technos/Etc. COMPLETELY screwed up their localization here in the USA big time!! These are some of the most fun Famicom games I've ever played and it's a shame we didn't get most of them or we got altered versions. What were they thinking!?

Got these from senseiman! I've always wanted the JPN version of NG3 and Quinty won't fit my converter (neither does Super Xevious... had to open the cart very carefully to play that)!
Edit: Quinty now fits fine?!

Thanks man, I guess I should be honest and say that I do get a lot of recommendations from what I've seen you playing. So on that note, I need to get Daiku no Gen-San 2, among some others.
Jekyll and Hyde 2 I picked up for shits n giggles - I can confirm it's just as ridiculous as I had wondered it might be :)

Ahhh - sorryyy ~~
Well Jekyll is super cheap (it's super poo) at least. MetaFight I've been pestering Senseiman about for ages, so please excuse me on that.
I'm pretty much done for Famicom carts now, I have a short list of other games I want to get - some heavy hitters and some smaller titles, but I have a good long list of games now so won't be jumping straight on Senseiman's thread so quickly.
Can I make a suggestion? Use the "notify" button to get instant e-mail alerts when there's a new post (often from Senseiman (sends to the address in your profile at least).

It's not posts I'm worried about, it's edits. Sometimes he'll make a minor edit to that thread which doesn't warrant a bump.
Not to mention, right now I'm unable to afford any new games, so I'm keeping an eye on that thread and hoping there'll still be games left by the time I have monies. :-\

My acquisitions over the last two months. Really happy about Solomon's Key 2, I talked about it in another thread already. I didn't mean to pick up Warwolf, but the seller who had Solomon's Key 2 also had a CIB Warwolf for only $9, I couldn't say no to that. Gen-san games are really fun, and the Lolo games are great, though so far I'm slightly partial to the sequel since it does away with the lives that are quite pointless in the first game anyway. Still need to get Eggerland and Babel.

Here are my finds of the weekend (sans two GB multi carts I keep forgetting to take out of my backpack:

Overall, I think it is a nice haul. My favorite piece is that boxed Famicom light gun. It is a shame, as two of the games I really wanted to play (Super Mario 16 and another one, a Chinese edition RPG) turned out to be dead when I got them home, but I guess that is life.

My FAMICOM finally shipped in! I turned it to channel 96, and played an NTDEC 82-in-1 pirate multicart. And I have to say, playing with the microphone was fun, but I just had so much fun playing it. The same fun I had playing the NES before it broke, but with games I've never even heard of like Nuts & Milk, Karateka, Yie-ar Kung fu, and more. And my mom played tetris and 1942 :-[

Nice, glad you are getting to experience the fun of the old classics, and also able to discover some new ones as well! Also, nothing better than playing the old games with your folks, imo - my dad used to sometimes play Rescue Rangers with us, though he couldn't make it past the cactus plants in the first world. When we first got our NES, for Christmas, Rescue: The Embassy Mission was received as well, but that was a game for my dad. He played it once in awhile, and that is still "his" game.
For recent finds, I haven't found too much. Early next week (I hope tomorrow) I am expecting a large package containing around 30 different games, but until that one arrives, here is what I recently picked up, over the course of the last month:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tracker465/IMG_4137_zpsd4f21c13.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/tracker465/media/IMG_4137_zpsd4f21c13.jpg.html)
In this picture, aside from receiving some fun Famicom games, like Parodius, Salamander, and Kid Dracula (I had this one as a bootleg, but wanted a legit copy), I also managed to get a few other titles that really make me happy. A Russian buddy of mine was able to hook me up with the Russian carts, and I am really happy to say that this version of Warehouse #18 does not have the glitch in it, that so many copies of the game have. The glitch affects my other two copies of that game, rendering it unplayable.
Also managed to get one NES game, Contra Spirits, partially thanks to Brian from this forum making mention that he had purchased a copy from the same seller (who is also a member here), and luckily he had another copy, which I bought. I don't usually collect NES, but for the past three years, I have been unable to find Contra Spirits in Famicom format, thus I opted to get a NES version (for now). I still hold out hope to get a Famicom version at some point though, whenever I can find it. :)
Then after an emotional start to last week, I picked up this one. The start up cost was not pretty, and I am still trying to adjust my routines, though it is getting there.

Due to that pick up, my finds for this week have been minimal. Today was sunny albeit a little cold, and was the perfect weather to hunt for games. But I didn't want to stray too far from the apartment, so I didn't get any games. Yesterday I found a few things locally, and here is the results of that find:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v315/tracker465/IMG_4139_zps0004a507.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/tracker465/media/IMG_4139_zps0004a507.jpg.html)
Most of these games I bought from a local buddy of mine, who knows that I collect old video games. Sometimes on the weekend he will have a bag of goodies for me, and then I exchange the dough for the goodies, and we both are happy :)
I also found a Famicom power glove, though it is missing everything except for the glove itself, apparently. Although this is never preferable, the price was definitely right, and I honestly doubt I would have used that thing very much anyway. To me, the Power Glove is quite iconic, though not very practical. So to have one in the collection, loose, but just to put on display is definitely my speed.

Power Blade 1 and 2, oh yeah.
They're so light, it's almost like there's nothing inside the casings... but they work so I guess there is.
Going to look into having the casings switched to officials though, because personally I don't really like pirate carts...

I'm jealous of all those FDS conversions Alex - very nice :)
Normally I don't get CIBs, they just got too expensive for me but Metalstorm is an exception - it's actually a Christmas present from my better half. Last year she got me Manuel's MegaDrive, I couldn't be happier :)

Also, I *wish* my gf were as supportive/rich to buy me such games. Once she bought me a Mario figure as a present, but that was it. She does not support my hobby, though she likes that I hang out at home and play games instead of going out and meeting other girls

Well, like I said it was a Christmas present - the general hobby doesn't get a massive amount of approval :blinky:
FCGamer that cart in the top right by the controller - have you got it to work with anything? I had one of those from a clone but the console broke almost instantly and I never got the cart to work. I ended up passing it on to someone, was it to you? Also had a few of those Arcade Action 101 in 1s, great carts, think they have Pandamar on :octorok:

No, you didn't pass the cart on to me, Luke ;)
I gor that cart and the action 101 in or whatever it is from another buddy of mine on here, as a bonus when we did a trade. Thus far, I have not gotten it to work...I iwll try in some other clones, but imo, I suspect they are both dead. :'(

Heh, maybe it was indirectly from me :P
It has 16-bit games on it, judging from the pictures.
The 101 doesn't work either? I always test stuff before it goes out. I may have another you can have.

The Hyper Shot was a steal, and I bought it on impulse. Thanks for the congrats :)
The two bonus carts, my buddy sent them just as a bonus, but told me ahead of time that he couldn't get them to work, and was sending them to me since I have a larger variety of clones I can try them on. So no harm, no foul, on that matter ;) I think they are both dead, but will try running them in a few other clones before I know for sure.

Some fami finds made their way in this month. Here's one I've been looking for CIB for a while -
[MOVED]
Anyone happen to know which are the rarest Nintendo Silver Series games? Can't remember if this one is or not. I know the shooters are rarer than Mew.

I finally got the red turbo twin famicom some week ago.
it works excellent. I haven't restored the drive yet though.
Here is a pic how it compares to the normal red console and a disk system.

Just got my wireless Famicom controller and a CIB copy of the first Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu. The wireless controller is absolutely wonderful playing with my Twin Famicom (I played half an hour of Nazo no Murasame Jou just fine) and I am a huge Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu fan so I was happy to add the CIB game to my collection!

Yours should be the full version then :) Some ports of SMB2JP stop after world 4 or so.

No, I have had some half version SMB2 Lost Levels on cart, but also (think) that I have the full version on cart (I Never really play this game much). I've heard rumors that the Kaiser version is the full version, the others are half version. But both exist on single carts.

I've owned many variants and never saw one ending on 4-4. The Kaiser port is one of the many full ports available. Kaiser's not even the original port I believe.
The only cuts I've heard is that there's is a bunch that do not include A-D worlds.
But it's interesting to know that there is a 'bad' one out there. Was it released by Whirlwind?

It might have been, I don't remember anymore. But I had one for sale at one point, and someone on here had asked me about it. Since I didn't know, I had decided to give the game a play through anyway (I had nothing better to do that night) and then it ended after 4-4, just stopped. And I know that was a single cart.

I know it's old news at this point, but I'm (very happy for you/am jealous of) the deal you got on that Hyper Shot. The light gun freak in me is going to need one of those at some point, but at least that one has gone to a good home.

Thanks Jackson. :) I grabbed mine from a guy locally, if it helps to ease the pain a bit. That is one thing I love about Famicom is the special controllers that pair with the games. I really like the whac-a-mole set too, just really neat (but fairly useless) items that make the Famicom a lot more enjoyable than the NES, imo. Whenever you get a Hypershot, I want to hear your thoughts on it btw ;)

^^^ Wow, nice finds as always!!!
The thing I have to wonder though, is how do you organize / store all of your games, merchandise, etc? When I am out and about, I constantly see interesting game-related items, joysticks, etc. but after awhile I just started passing up a large portion of what I see, simply because I am not sure I would have room to store it all.

Thank you sir :)
I have several cabinets and closets in the house for things I believe I will use within the next few weeks. Then I have storage bins in the garage for things I might use in the next few months. Then I have a storage room, garage, closets at my other house for things I will not use in the foreseeable future.
If you're seeing stuff like this in the wild, I'm guessing you live in Japan? For most people over there I assume space is a big issue. I live in the good ol' USA so we've got a bit more space :)

It did not come with a power supply so I couldn't quickly try it out. I'll need to find a suitable alternative before I can fire it up.

I'm confused, what does it do, duplicate carts? Looks like a sweet piece of hardware either way :o

It's a very limited copier, as it can only copy games which do not use any form of bankswitching. I assume it was for copying rented/borrowed games, since Japan is a very rental oriented society, or at least it use to be. It's extremely simple hardware, as it literally just makes a 1:1 copy. An acquaintance of mine use to have one before he sold it due to lack of space.

Maybe it use to be? If it was though it would be before the Famicom days, because I have several Famicom carts with rental labels still on them, and I know Japan still produces rental versions of DVDs which have the extras stripped off them as ''encouragement'' for people to buy the full release.

Brought some stuff back from the States. Some of it I had and rediscovered on my last trip back, others were things I had purchased over the course of 2014 and had shipped to the USA, due to sellers not shipping to Taiwan. Enjoy!

Some recent acquisitions.
The Famulator and light gun weren't things I was specifically after, but were included in a bulk bundle of fami carts I purchased. The Famulator is cool but clones aren't my thing so I will be selling it. The gun is awesome and I will be keeping it for sure.
The Wondermega I obtained cheaply as unconfirmed junk, fortunately it works perfectly.
The twin at the front is rgb/s-video modded, the one at the rear is stock standard and will also go up for sale.

Over here and on eBay they sell for triple that amount so I was willing to take a gamble. I was certain that the cd drive was going to be faulty but it fired up just fine, was a lucky find! Much cheaper than buying a separate mega drive and cd addon separately and much much cooler. Just wish it had rgb but s-video is pretty crisp on my pvm.

My trip to Fukuoka resulted in a pretty nice haul!
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/ProfessorSmooth/17C361A4-BBD7-46C8-9BAE-DD64FB7C83FB_zpsnrpelzyf.jpg) (http://s4.photobucket.com/user/ProfessorSmooth/media/17C361A4-BBD7-46C8-9BAE-DD64FB7C83FB_zpsnrpelzyf.jpg.html)
WAY too excited about the fire flower polo shirt and Famicom paperwork.
My wife and I stopped by the new-ish Book-Off Super Bazaar in Tenjin. We scooped up a bunch of cheap bagged gashapon figures before noticing the Famicom box in a pile on a low shelf. There was a sticker on the front saying "Box Only", which was weird, since I have NEVER seen just a box for sale at a retail store like Book-Off. And it's not like this was some high-priced item. The thing was only 100 yen. I've already got a box for my Famicom, but I wondered if *maybe* there was something in the box. And there was! *ALL* of the paperwork. The manual, all those little colored paper bits, and even the comic book. Score! The wife still doesn't get why I was so thrilled, but it's incredibly rare to find paperwork like that in the wild.
The games came from everywhere *except* Book-Off, where no carts (including mah-jong and pachinko titles) dipped below 950 yen. Mostly Namcot titles. :) :) :)

Pick ups for the last few weeks. Bunch of "meh", but a lot of stuff I've *really* been enjoying. Fantasy Zone is addicting as all get out!

Prices are not always so expensive in Akihabara unless you are shopping at the retro store on the main street where everything is like twice as much. There are definitely deals to be found.

I agree. I got some great deals on CIB Famicom and Super Famicom games when in Akihabara. You just have to stay away from the main street and places like Super Potato.

The 10 yen games came from the really expensive Retro Game Camp on Akiba's main street.
Ninja Ryukenden, the Fantasy Zone games, and DK/Math was from Friends (also in Akiba)
The stuff in the Hi no Tori pic were from a Book-Off in Kawasaki
The other commons were from Trader and Sofmap.

Just got these games yesterday / today in the mail:

I really like the 4 in 1 multicart, really cool rip off case design. Normally I sell the multis I get, but once in awhile I find one I really like, and just keep it, for the aesthetic reasons.
The Dragonball game completes the horror that is Dragon Ball games on Famicom. I think I have all of those, by now.
Jaws and Marble Madness, two games that never officially made it to the Famicom. I used to play Jaws as a kid on the NES, so I have some good memories with that one.
Sweet Home, had a chance to grab it cheap and I needed it.
Finally, Tailor Made and Safety Rally. I grabbed the copies that Dr. Morbis had listed for sale on ebay. He has been collecting for ages, and we dealt with each other 10 or 15 years ago, so he was the type of guy I would want to purchase such rare games from, to know they are authentic and what not. For purchasing the two games, he gave me a nice discount (he wanted the money to make another purchase of sorts himself), and luckily I then was put in touch with someone that purchased a lot of items from me, helping me to fund this purchase. When actually figuring in the cost of the items I sold, I got each of these games for around $225 a piece. Not bad, I guess, though as we all know, these are more collector's pieces than anything else.
Post Merge: February 12, 2015, 09:46:09 pm
On another note, this will be one of my last Famicom purchases from abroad (the Tailor Made / Safety Rally purchase) until I can get things 100% straightened out with the devil itself, i.e. paypal. It is sort of a strange feeling, I add two of the rarest Famicom games to my collection, have less than 300 games to go for a complete set, and then... poof! Suddenly I am limited as to making purchases online. So strange, to be so close to finishing the goal, and then so far at the same time, due to something as silly as payment methods. :'(
As a result, I think at the end of 2015, I might just make a trip to Japan and see what I can find!

Good week!
"Friend" in Shinjyo set me up with TMNT 2, Kid Dracula, and Cho Makaimura for a combined 2,400 yen. The other stuff is from Book-Off. Metal Slug 3D is pretty disappointing thus far.

"Trader" restocked their bargain bin. Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari and JuJu Densetsu for 278 each were *definitely* the highlight.

And finally, from Amazon, my 275th Famicom cart, DuckTales 2.
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/ProfessorSmooth/CAD36EDB-D950-4316-8072-19EEAFB0FB96_zps7ebvebpz.jpg) (http://s4.photobucket.com/user/ProfessorSmooth/media/CAD36EDB-D950-4316-8072-19EEAFB0FB96_zps7ebvebpz.jpg.html)
And thus, my Capcom DuckTales collection is complete. Though if I ever find a boxed copy of the first one at a decent price, I'll not turn it down.

Starting to tick off some of the pricier titles now, not many more to go on my purchase list - some of the rarer ones still to find like Flintstones 2 might be tricky, but getting there!

Congrats on the Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa cart. That undoubtedly cost you quite a bit.
Which version of Flintstones: Dinosaur Peak are you going for? There's no official Famicom version, right?

Ah I'm a tool - no wonder I couldn't see it pop up! Oh well that makes it easier to just make a repro I guess and pickup the first title as a duo lol.
Bio Miracle and Adventure Island IV both ended up costing 85 bucks - more than I wanted to spend but there was a chance it could have ended lower, at least those are ticked off the list now.
I think I'll leave Gimmick for last - I have a 5B chip repro of it loose to play so I'll need to save a fair chunk for a nice CIB copy, which maybe the last Famicom item I buy to be honest.

Wow, you got each of those for $85? Sounds nice, imo. Those two are on my hit list for this year, good games, pricey games, heh.

Haul from January and February. Two items there that I've been after for a looooong time.
Spartan X I've wanted for a while but was unable to find in either good condition or for good price.
And Battle Formula. Damn. I finally got it. I've been after it for two years, I've checked both eBay and YAJ three times daily, I've bid on many a CIB copy on YAJ and they always went for ridiculous prices.
And then this utterly perfect, near-mint CIB copy just falls out of the sky and at HALF the cost it usually goes for, the lowest I've ever seen. At eBay of all places. Instant grab.
I'm getting very close to having all the FC games I want...

Thanks. Feels good to finally get my hands on it. Fun game too, and it does graphical tricks I haven't seen in any other FC title.
Funny thing is, the day before the package arrived, I had a dream where I got it, but it turned out to be a pirate cart with just a plain white label on the cart. And the manual was just a simple folded paper, but it had a small LCD screen that displayed the names of the group who pirated the game, in the style of the old Amiga intros warezed games had. So that was kind of weird. When I woke up I went and doublechecked that the auction had indeed been for a legit copy with everything as it should. And breathed a sigh of relief when it really arrived and everything was in order.

Great haul, Ghegs, FC Genjin and Tiny Toons were among the few greats I noticed were absent from your collection. Amazing price on Battle Formula, sounds like you were extremely dedicated to getting that one.
I probably have a year or two to go before my Famicom collection is "complete", mind you my tastes are a bit more narrow than yours.

Yes, I had seen this posting earlier and had the same assessment, but wanted to reexamine the picture before making a final conclusion. I feel the same as you do L___E___T, and had also told Oreanor that in a PM. I think these games never had boxes or manuals.

I'm impressed at the controllers, I didn't know if it was a square button or not, it was untested at $24, another $17 shipped registered air mail.
I'm opening it up as I type, I always check the insides of untested junk items before pumping them with a bunch of juice. if any one wants inside pics lemme know.
all I have right now is my LG G3 to take pics with at the moment

Well after I bought a defective Famicom (though I didn't know that it was -_-), I found out it's a Square Button Famicom. :o
This is my first one too, so this is pretty great because I didn't know what Square Buttons were until then, here's some photos.

that's not bad I find it odd that the controller 2 has round buttons while controller one is square, I'd like to see the inside of this one.
did you just win it or did it arrive? also when did Yamatoku start doing those card things? I have never got one even after 30 or so transactions over the past years.
I got this one untested (http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=683.msg158316#msg158316) from japan for you on ebay and it just needed a decent cleaning so pop that one open when you get it and clear out some of that Japanese fuzz and you might be good. most of the round buttons I got from yamatoku needed a good cleaning to work. one needed jumpers over broken traces from corrosion but its working for now

But that one has a smooth bottom part so you can tell it's a square button one. Nice find indeed!Quote from: Famicom3DS on March 15, 2015, 10:51:35 pm

Thanks everyone, I'm definitely gonna pop it open once I get it, see what revision it is (hoping it hasn't been swapped out!), and I found out at least one of the TVs in my house go up beyond 95 & 96 (I live in the US), so once it comes in and such I'm gonna clean the controllers, cartridge slot and such. ;D
Also quick question for those in the US, how long has it taken for your package to get it from Japan using SAL? I've ordered 3 so far (all manga) and one took 15 days, one took 3 weeks and the other one took about a month and a half to get here, it's been a week since my Famicom has shipped so I'm hoping it comes in within the next week or two.
(oh I forgot to mention that even though the 2nd controller has round buttons the 1st controller has square buttons.

I've noticed that Yamatoku is starting to ensure that consoles are in working condition with those cards.
Speaking of Yamatoku, he overcharged my shipping by USD$120, or CAD$150. That bum >:( I demanded a partial refund. Who charges double what it actually costs? When I got the package, it said he paid 19,500yen. He friggin charged me USD$286 for that shipping. I've bought orders twice as large as this with the shipping only coming to USD$250 max!
Beware next time he invoices you. This is just bull. However, 2 years ago he screwed up my order somehow(I forgot what he did) but he offered me a discount on my next purchase after that. I think he might do the right thing and partially refund me. I have to be more careful next time.

I've noticed his high shipping also, but not to that extreme. I'll have to keep an eye on it. I'm just excited to get my item and forget about the shipping.

I think it was just an honest mistake. Whenever I get 50 games and 10 consoles in one order, he charges me max US$250 for EMS. That's reasonable, its about 10 bucks per kilogram.

I may have gone slightly overboard this month, but I decided I'll finish my FC collection this year. The haul for March:
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/ghegs/FCGameHaulMarch_zpssqjdh46j.jpg)
The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino & Hoppy, Guardic Gaiden, Ninja Cop Saizou, TMNT, Musashi No Ken, Kakefu Kun no Jump Tengoku: Speed Jigoku, Transformers: Mystery of Convoy, Cobra Command, Star Gate and Tatakai no Banka. I also finally caved and got an Everdrive. Not so I could stop purchasing legit games (obviously), but so I could easily play fan translations, hacks, and NES homebrews.
Also, did you guys know Guardic Gaiden comes with a cloth poster?
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/ghegs/GuardicGaiden_zpsvteo4dki.jpg)
Holy shit that is cool.

Hi everyone,
I would appreciate if someone could find me the origin SMB2 (only released in Japan) for Famicon/Twin Famicon?
And by "origin SMB2", I mean the actual jap cart/FDS game shown as "Lost Levels" on the Allstars cart for SNES/Super Famicon.
Hope I make some sence in my description.
Thanks for any help here.

I have the same goal in mind. Great picks this time around - mainly Flintstones, that one's tough to get on Famicom. Great choice on Ninja Cop Saizou as well.

Man, it's been too long since I got a chance to post in the "finds" thread - in fact, it's been about two years, I think, since I got to buy any Famicom carts. I basically got everything I've been wanting *except* Battletoads, and now I gotta lay low on retro game purchases for awhile.
For anyone wondering, I paid 9000 yen for Metal Warriors and got a reasonable deal on Moon Crystal from a member here. The others were all pretty cheap because I bought them on YAJ, but man, those deputy service fees killed me. Still, it was nice to have all of these (except Moon Crystal and Ikari, which came last week) arrive at my doorstep at the same time.
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CBrmxaaWIAA2gBT.jpg)
Yay! This puts me just over 50 Famicom carts, by the way, but that includes a couple pirate multicarts and an Everdrive N8. So, I guess I maybe have 47 legit Famicom games now, including 4 FDS games. Small collection, I know, but it goes up to about 75 if you count the NES games I own... which means this is the system I have the most games for at this point... it's so hard to buy U.S. SNES games these days and I only buy SFC if I have no other choice (i.e. Hagane).

So my Famicom is HVC-CPU-05, the one square button controller it has, has the A button ripped out -_-
I see no bulging or blown capacitors, so I think it just needs to be cleaned and deyellowed. (it looks horrendously yellow! :'()

Gah, what terrific finds, Nusilver. Not only did you get Kage (IMO the second best Famicom game, after Solbrain), but you got two that I really want: Moon Crystal, and especially METAL STORM. I'm trying to acquire them CIB, however. But still, really good batch of stuff there.

Darkwing Duck, Power Blade, Kickmaster, Talespin, etc. The list goes on. Although I personally don't collect pirates anymore (I have all the NES games I want on actual NES carts now), I can see why people get them. A surprising number of NES greats were deprived of Famicom releases altogether.

Super Contra is a good one to have CIB, congratulations. Go for Castlevania whenever the chance arises. Although it's a game I've had on NES since childhood, getting a Famicom copy of it has inspired me to play it a lot more and get better at it recently, I now have a consistent no-death run down.

Might have to add Wacky Races to my to-get pile now, looks fun.

I also recommend Wacky Races, and need to add that one to my collection as well (though I have numerous hacked versions). I remember being introduced to that game back when I was collecting NES primarily, about 15 years ago. One of my buddies had been studying / living in Russia and when he came back, he gave me an awesome deal on a Dendy machine, plus maybe 15 games or so. I was only a kid then, maybe 16 or 17, so $30 for the whole lot of stuff was an incredible deal. I played that game a lot (though it was hacked to be a Pokemon game), it was quite fun.

Wow, I'm glad and pleasantly surprised to see so much love for Wacky Races. Since I hear it talked about very rarely (even among discussions of underrated NES games) I figured I was the only one who loved it. But yeah I first played it as Pokemon Blue, the same hack FCGamer speaks of. I'd definitely consider it to be a must-have for the system, but keep in mind it is rather easy.
It might as well be! But no, the little baggy wasn't there around the cart, but I'd honestly consider it to be mint. SMBUSA is in nice shape as well.
A lot of overlap, that I assure you. What do you think your total will be with your remaining want-list in mind? Mine should be around 130-140 games when I'm finished, according to my list, however there could always be a few I'm forgetting.

Heh, our collections continue to follow similar paths. It'll be interesting to see how much overlap there is once we're both finished.
Might have to add Wacky Races to my to-get pile now, looks fun.
A lot of overlap, that I assure you. What do you think your total will be with your remaining want-list in mind? Mine should be around 130-140 games when I'm finished, according to my list, however there could always be a few I'm forgetting.

I'm at 161 now and should finish around 180. A handful of NES games included in both counts.

Book-Off comes through again. Not in the best shape, but it's been a hole in my collection that I've been meaning to fill. And, frankly, I don't think the game is good enough to merit paying the going (Akiba) rate.

^^^Nice find, as always!
I can't imagine finishing up work and then stopping off at a shop with a lot of Famicom games, easily being able to choose from a nice selection, before heading home for the night, week after week. Is that how it is in Japan?

If you live in a decent sized city then yeah, its like that. My first 4 years as a Famicom collector I commuted by bicycle and had 2 shops on the way home which had massive, cheap selections of Famicom carts to choose from so I would drop in at least 3 or times a week to see what was new. Total bliss.
Now I have so many carts (and don`t have quite as convenient access to shops) so I`m not able to do that anymore. But if you are starting from zero carts, living in Japan is awesome.

In Fukuoka, Tokyo, and Yokohama, it's been pretty much like that. There have been plenty of places that are either *on* my way to/from work, or close enough to it that I could drop by whenever I wanted.
Most of these places rarely get truly *great* stuff, but there's almost always *something* worth picking up. And, apparently, some guy did snag a Summer Carnival 92 at a Book Off a year or so back.
My collection is sitting at about 350 titles, but even now, it's not often that I stop by a Zest, Book-Off, Eco Mall, or even little Mom n' Pop store and find NOTHING that's missing from my collection.
And, if you're into more than just FC stuff, the choices improve. It seems like most of the PS1 and PS2 libraries can be had for 100-500 yen per game. N64 stuff is dirt cheap. Super Famicom titles are, by and large, still inexpensive, and you can pick up Super Mario World, Collection, and/or Kart for under 500 yen each, if you look around. Dreamcast, Saturn, PCE, and AES stuff isn't *as* common, but you'll often find a stash here and there.
Happy Hobbying!

Totally agree. My first 2 years in Japan I hit game shops every other day. Now that I'm going on 11 years here there isn't quite the trill since I already have most of what I'm looking for and the chain store have all jacked up the prices. Still whenever I have a friend visiting from the states their minds get blown by how much retro stuff is still here and how easy it is to get it.
The honest truth is I miss those days of wonder when I only had a handful of carts and every game was "New to me".

Oh man, I feel so envious, yet, at the same time I probably wouldn't have the same experience even if I were to move to Japan (since I have so many loose carts already).
There used to be a shop here that had a lot of Famicom games from back in the day, tons of new old stock and the shopkeeper and I became buddies since I always bought so much from him every time I visited. I was visiting there once a week after work, though the shop was about an hour from me, but I just had such a great thrill looking through his stuff. But then I cleaned it out, and my extra surplus of money also disappeared, and I haven't been back for months.
There are no places on my way home from work (well I walk and only live five minutes from my job), but all of the places that used to have games near me, I've long cleared out. So sadly, it has been getting more and more frustrating to find games here, and then to find ones that I need, almost impossible. That set up in Japan really sounds like the dream. :)

On another note, many of those games were ported by Kaiser and also by another pirate company. Do you know why the Kaiser versions are in higher demand?

Wow Ghegs some heavy hitters in there! Can I ask the appeal of Great Battle Cyber? That one doesn't strike me as the kind of title you'd normally hunt down, if I'm a good judge of your taste in Famicom games!
That AVIV in particular looks very, very clean! Congrats!

I was on the fence for a while whether I'll get it or not. In the end I saw an auction and won it for ~$30 including shipping, so that's nice. It's still an action-platformer, it's just a slightly different one. Every enemy encounter being basically a bossfight is cool and somewhat Treasure-like before there even was Treasure. I like how the characters can hang on ledges, that's a feature not many FC games have.

YES Armadillo. As much as I love that game, I kinda figured it was the sort of thing you wouldn't like given its slower pace and the fact it uses an SMB3 style layout for the maps. Great stuff, interesting that we both got Yume Fuusen around the same time. I guess I'll add Great Battle Cyber to my wanted list. Also I've been debating adding the Takahashi series to my list. I find them charming but kinda aggravating to play, and very repetitive. (Besides the one on Super Famicom) 4 sounds really cool though from how you described it previously.
This description sounds like Street Fighter 2010 to me.

Actually, I got it mainly because I saw you singing its praises. You've added quite a few games to my to-get pile. ;) But you're correct, it's not quite to my taste. The game feels like it's in constant slowdown, that's its biggest drawback. The Takahashi games are kind of repetitive, but III mixes it up a bit with hidden bonus stages and having much more options in weapons and other items. Not sure if I'll get the first game, that one's the simplest of the bunch with even the bosses being more or less the same thing every time. None of these complaints apply to IV, that one's superb. Having III and IV would probably be enough to get the most out of the series.
Now that you mention it, SF2010 is kinda sorta similar to Great Battle Cyber. The former is way better in every aspect, but still.

(I don't often buy doubles, but Contra is my favorite video game of all time. I still have fond memories of playing that game w/ my dad back when I was in elementary school. So when I found a boxed copy a flippin' Book-Off, of all places, I just had to snatch it.)

I used to be the same way with cheap boxes. But now I've got like three dozen boxed games that are absolute crap. I've got like half a dozen different FamiSta games in those huge Namcot clamshell cases. Those take up more space than like 20 loose carts.
There are some games worth having the boxes for, for one reason or another. Personal favorites. Games w/ unique/interesting artwork. But Famicom Business Software II? Why?!?! Why did I do this!?!?! ;)

I feel the same way. I have a small handful of boxed "junk" Famicom games, using the same mentality as you did. Some items I try to get boxed when I can, mainly personal favorites, games with interesting artwork, and unlicensed titles. But for the rest, now I just grab loose, since boxed titles take up too much space, and (as we all know), it is unrealistic to try to get every game boxed.

I'm primarily a loose collector, but I can never pass up a cheap box or manual.
I used to be the same way with cheap boxes. But now I've got like three dozen boxed games that are absolute crap. I've got like half a dozen different FamiSta games in those huge Namcot clamshell cases. Those take up more space than like 20 loose carts.
There are some games worth having the boxes for, for one reason or another. Personal favorites. Games w/ unique/interesting artwork. But Famicom Business Software II? Why?!?! Why did I do this!?!?! ;)

Well, I still like a cheap box here and there. Luckily, I'm not after a complete set like some of you guys. I wouldn't hold onto something like Family Business, complete or loose.

Defiantly not up to par with the FDS version but still sounds good and doesn't ruin the game play here is a comparison video that MWK did a while back http://youtu.be/54na587U5Sk

Not even close to the original when it's missing those sounds. Ai Senshi Nicol has very cool music on the first stage so it's really too bad.

This is a cool get. I had wanted to get a copy of Super Turrican for NES, but being a PAL exclusive I simply don't know how I'd be able to play it. This repro version appears to be even better, do you know if it's possible to have these made CIB? As cool as it'd be to play, a loose cart would just be so unfitting in my collection after I sold all mine off.

As cool as it'd be to play, a loose cart would just be so unfitting in my collection after I sold all mine off.
I originally considered getting the real PAL version CIB (I could just play it with a NES->FC adapter easily), but after trying the Plus hack out I decided it's the superior version and wanted that instead. Clarky of Clarky Creations (http://clarkycreations.com/) was kind enough to build it for me. Come to think of it, you wouldn't really be able to take the game's official manual and make a Famicom repro out of it, since the Plus hack changes enough things around that the official manual is inaccurate in regards to the Plus version, especially when it comes to controls. You'd have to re-write chunks of it if you want it to be useful.
Anyway, since it's an unofficial repro I'm not concerned with the box and manual, it's not like those things have ever existed for this. The unofficial-ness makes it fall outside my usual "Every FC game must be CIB"-rule. My few loose carts are all either homebrew games or repros like this, so they have a nice little group of their own.
I actually read somewhere that though the game was released in PAL only, it was coded in a way that makes it mostly impervious to the common speed problems when played on a NTSC system. And it does seem to be the case, only the music feels slightly faster, but not nearly enough to ruin it. Then again, it's just something I read on the Intertubes, so grains of salt, etc.

Here's my Famicom haul for May.
(http://i.imgur.com/18jZfYA.jpg)
JuJu Densetsu, Seirei Densetsu Lickle, Space Harrier, Ducktales 2, Maten Douji, Takahashi Meijin No Bouken Jima 3, Makaimura, Argos No Senshi, Great Battle Cyber, Yie Ar Kung Fu, Dragon Spirit, Dragon Ninja and Karnov.
At the recommendation of Ghegs, I decided to add the Takahashi series to my wanted list (though I am gonna go for the original as well, just since it's nostalgic to me), starting with 3.
My favorite game I got this time around would have to be Maten Douji, Japanese version of Conquest of the Crystal Palace - I used to have a NES cart of this game but never really got into it, but this JP version really drew me in, and I ended up learning it no-death. I'd recommend this beautiful game to anyone who likes action titles, even though its graphics are rather cutesy (and resemble Saiyuki World 2 more than anything) this game has the spirit of a difficult action game a la Ninja Gaiden or Castlevania.

Yessir, quite a few of them actually. Not all the changes are widely documented online, but here's a few obvious ones:
You have limited credits, just 3 continues allowed in the JP version. I got thrashed my first time attempting to beat it.
Some of the graphics were censored to appear less creepy, HG101 goes into this a bit more -> http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/crystalpalace/crystalpalace.htm
The JP version is harder, many enemies take more hits to kill here. This is especially noticeable for the final boss, who seems to go down in like 12-16 slashes in the U.S. version, but honestly... I'm not even sure if he can be killed with the sword in the JP version, one attempt I counted 30 or so hits on him and he was still standing. Every playthrough I could find of the JP version, both on YT and Japanese sites, just used Zap (w/ dog whistle) to kill him (which does him in with two hits). This is the method I use now.

Yume Penguin Monogatari, Totsuzen! Machoman, Clash at Demonhead, The Immortal, Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu, TMNT 2, and The Jetsons: Cogswell's Caper.
Dengeki Big Bang! has lots of important clues and hints in the text, so I opted for the NES release instead. The Immortal never got a Famicom release.

Damn good picks to you as well - Good to see you finally have Jackie Chan, that's a great one. The Jetsons is also on my wanted list due to its similarities to Capcom's Chip n Dale games. Speaking of which, Chip n Dale 1 is currently one of my most wanted games... having a real pain finding that one CIB in decent shape.
Why TMNT2, if I may ask? Don't get me wrong, I'm looking for it myself, but I recall you not being too big on beat 'em ups in general.
Edit: Also, I've never heard of/seen The Immortal, I'll have to look up footage when I get home. However, there is one more NES-only game I think I want: Zen Intergalactic Ninja.

Immortal (imo) is an awesome game, and a looooong time ago I had interviewed one or two of the guys that actually worked on the game.
Ghegs' statement should be changed to the following: The Immortal was never **officially** released on the Famicom. I have a Famicom copy sitting in my collection, and it was made by a Chinese / Taiwanese company circa mid to late 1990s, I would suspect. :)

True, I'm not. But I already had Gekikame, and I had bought TMNT partly for nostalgia's sake (it's one of the few NES games I had as a kid) so I figured I'd complete the trilogy. It's technically the better game anyway, with each turtle having more personalized attacks, special moves, etc.
Also, we seem to be both after Chip 1 at the moment. ;) Zen Intergalactic Ninja is something I've been considering.

Illegal pirate carts don't really count. That's like saying Recca was released in the US around the 2010's because people started making repros of it. Doesn't quite fly.

From a historian's perspective, I would beg to differ. I've made the argument countless times, again and again, it is the period that matters, much more so than the copyright holder. If we only look at it from a copyright perspective, games like Great Giana Sisters and Tengen's Tetris were both infringing on the IP of other companies, though likewise collectors would say that having these games in a collection is with merit.
Your example with Recca is really silly, tbh - collectors don't typically want reproduction games, and whereas something like a "repro" of Recca made in 2010 is simply a repro, getting factory-made Dendy / Pegasus / Japanese / whatever carts is something that happened at a time, but that time has come and gone, thus the collectability of the items (a finite supply that cannot be replenished plus a demand).
While it does admittedly seem like a cop-out to purchase a bootleg of Gimmick on Famicom and then call it a day, for games that never had an official release, collectors are limited to four options:
1) Do without the game.
2) Get a modern reproduction made.
3) Get a historical / period piece, despite the fact that it wasn't an official product.
4) Get it on alternative format.
Choice 1 isn't much of a solution, and choice 2 wouldn't fly with me (as a collector, though others may feel differently). I think choices 3 and 4 are both adequate, though I personally would prefer a historical / period-made bootleg anyway to having the game in another format, though that is just preference and we both hold different opinions on that.
Congrats either way on your finds :)

(This came out longer than I expected...mods, please feel free to move it elsewhere.)
I believe using bootlegged versions of anything (games, movies, music, etc) as replacement for the real thing is not acceptable. It disrespects the original and the people who created it, and you're most likely getting a shoddy product that will fall to bits sooner later than later, while possibly also giving money to unscrupulous companies who are only in it to make a quick, easy buck by copying and selling things that aren't theirs to sell. This is the only community I've ever seen that romanticizes bootlegs to this degree, though I do understand the historic reasons for being interested in Dendy and whatnot.
You seem to count acquiring Famicom pirate carts of NES-only games as option 4) on your list. I wouldn't, since the hardware is still basically the same and the games can be played easily with an adapter. Alternative format would be getting the game on another contemporary system (really want a Japanese copy The Immortal? Get the Genesis release, called "Wizard of Immortal") or a modern digital re-release. The Immortal isn't available on the Famicom, so I went and got the NES release. It's official, it's solid from a "historic perspective" and it doesn't have a build quality that makes me think the plastic will crack if I stare at it too intensely. The thought of getting a bootleg version never even crossed my mind.
I consider myself a gamer first and collector far second. Having a legit copy of the game matters to me from a moral perspective. Also, I want the gameplay to be what the originals creators intended, not what some Chinese programmer copying the game thought might make the game more fun (Super Contra 6 with its increased lives) or alter it in some way (how many SMB2J bootlegs are there that are missing the title screen, or Luigi's physics are wrong, or the wind doesn't work properly?). If it was a case where the game was literally, honestly, 100% impossible to acquire officially (and not just really difficult and/or expensive) like an unreleased title or a well-made hack, I would go for a modern repro in a heartbeat. At least then I know that the build quality is good, I get a faithful copy of the source material and I know who the money goes to.
If you don't have the money for the real thing - deal with it. Gaming can be an expensive hobby. Start saving your money if you really want that Gimmick and/or keep hunting for that reasonably priced one. You aren't entitled to have every single game you want.
As you can tell, my beef is largely with bootlegs of games that already have official NES or Famicom releases. Unlicensed games are a different thing in my opinion as at least the companies aren't copying someone else's work to pass as their own. I can't think of anything as insulting to a creative person as that. If you could interview The Immortal devs again and tell them some Chinese company stole their work, sold it as their own and the original creators never saw a penny of it, what do you think their response would be?
Again, I can understand collecting pirate carts as historic curiosities, But considering them as valid options to an official product, and presenting them as such, I can't understand.
I believe using bootlegged versions of anything (games, movies, music, etc) as replacement for the real thing is not acceptable. It disrespects the original and the people who created it, and you're most likely getting a shoddy product that will fall to bits sooner later than later, while possibly also giving money to unscrupulous companies who are only in it to make a quick, easy buck by copying and selling things that aren't theirs to sell.

3) would be fine with games like Recca, but since Gimmick! bootlegs can't reproduce the sound properly I would rather choose 2). Now when the Samsung 5b can be accurately reproduced in programmable logic there's no reason to go with Shuiguan V, IMHO.

More good stuff from senseiman!
On the subject of repros, I have my FF hack and SMW hacks on cart, but could I easily replace them with the original ROM if I wanted to? (Not that I would) Or would it not be an "original" cart anymore?

Interesting thoughts Ghegs! I hope in my first post I didn't sound overly critical or anything, I really just felt (feel) somewhat confused in general from a collector's standpoint, but if was looking at it from a gamer's standpoint, I think I can see where you are coming from (and thus being NES instead of Famicom wouldn't really be as much of an issue).
Just to make a few comments before heading out for the day:
1) I think the myth of poor quality needs to be stopped, at least concerning the bootlegged games from the late 80s and early 90s. A lot of those products are very solid, almost equal to the real deal in quality, and as such, I would suspect some were even manufactured by the same companies, "after hours". Also, some musicians encourage bootlegs (of their live concert performances, etc)
2) Those adapters are also being made by the same companies that produce the bootlegs. Now, there are some modern choices available, but 5 - 10 years ago the only adapters were from NTDEC, Honey Bee, etc, and they all made fake games. The same mysterious companies.
3) WIth the SMB2J bootlegs, we need to remember they were converted over from disk, thus the changes because of conversion of formats and also limitations back then. Not really a good example, imo.
4) I own an official Gimmick, it was just an example, but could be replaced with really any game. I also feel that for a game officially released, it is a cop out method.
5) These days, I think the morality of it is sort of a moot point, since it has been done and gone. Many of the companies that made the boots were also manufacturing licensed games. Buying second hand, those companies aren't receiving money for this stuff any more, no matter how shady at the time. And finally, the IP holders don't really care at this point either (and if it is just IP concerns, then original stuff like Tengen Tetris and Giana also fall into this category).
Interesting thoughts though, and I guess we will just agree to disagree. :)

I haven't seen a release of the game in .NES format at least, only Flash.

Yeah, so sometimes you have finds, and then other times you just have those amazing finds that leave you feeling speechless. I had one of the latter finds today.
I had received a call from one of my buddies, he owns a bookstore. He told me to pay him a visit, as he had gotten some Famicom games to sell me (he knows I collect these games, so he asks around and when he finds them, he sells them to me). Apparently his childhood friend had wanted to sell his Famicom / Sega games and my friend said I would be interested. So here is what my friend's childhood buddy used to have gaming, growing up. My friend said he didn't really have these games growing up (he is maybe in his early 40s), as his family was not rich. Anyone, behold what one Taiwanese kid had growing up in regards to games (picture 1):

Then my buddy also had obtained the following games for me, and I grabbed these from him as well (you can see the childhood friend's games here, plus the other games I got, all mixed together):

There was a large pile of loose pcbs, untested, so I just bought them all too. Sadly in the whole pile of games (loose pcbs + cartridges) around 15 - 20 I couldn't get to work properly, but seeing how there was around 100 pieces total, I guess it isn't too bad. I forgot to take pics of everything, but this is the majority of it.
I was then put in touch with another guy, who had a couple games up for grabs, seemingly Atari:

We exchanged contact information, and he said that he had some Famicom stuff back at his home, so tomorrow I will meet up with him and (hopefully) score some more goodies.
Now time to get back to sorting through this stuff, I guess. I was planning on going game hunting this afternoon and tomorrow, but alas I took the afternoon to clean these carts, and tomorrow afternoon I was recently invited to go to the fish market, so I'll do that instead of heading out in search of more games.

Very nice, I would love one of these some day. Also traditional Dendy.
They are both just Micro Genius brand, rebranded for sale in Poland (Pegasus) and Russia (Dendy)

Here is my haul for this month... I made a bit of a change to my goals. Previously I was content having only my imports CIB, but my domestic games cart-only, however I grew a bit bothered by the stack of NES carts sitting on my shelf since they looked so out-of-place among my collection, so I decided I'd sell them all off and hunt down my favorites CIB.
(http://i.imgur.com/In4mOHR.jpg)
Famicom: Chip N Dale, Chip N Dale 2, Kamen No Ninja Hanamaru, Spartan X2 (sadly the box on this one isn't as nice as I'd like so I'll probably re-buy it eventually), Max Warrior, Getsu Fuuma Den, Metafight, Kaiketsu Yanchamaru (with guide book), and Kaiketsu Yanchamaru 3.
NES: Shatterhand, Power Blade, Kick Master, GI Joe 1 and 2, Darkwing Duck, Zen Intergalactic Ninja
And then Run Saber on SNES... one of my favorites for the system, which was sadly never released in Japan.

Nice haul there Nightstar. Our collections keep being similar. I actually have a Power Blade coming my way as we speak. I've been trying to find those G.I. Joe games for a while, but they're proving elusive. Especially for a European guy like me, it's sometimes tough getting those US NES titles. I've had to rely on proxies many times because some sellers just refuse to ship internationally or demand ridiculous prices for it.
My haul for June is very light, I had some other expenses to take care of.
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/ghegs/FCHaulJune_zps1k1fufiw.jpg)
Faxanadu, Darkwing Duck and Wacky Races. Really happy about finally getting DW. Faxanadu was a total impulse guy, the same guy I bought DW from also had it for a very nice price, so I figured I might as well.

Oh, nice! Good to hear that Power Blade is off of your "maybe" list, it really is such a damn good game, and I think it fits in perfectly with any solid NES action set. I wouldn't mind serving as a proxy if you ever found a decent copy of GI Joe that wouldn't ship internationally.
Still some nice additions on your part, good job with DW - that one is a bitch to find complete. I had to basically piece mine together since there wasn't a single "complete" copy at the time I bought it. I think there's maybe 4 or 5 more NES games on my list to get.
Also I'd recommend adding the Kaiketsu Yanchamaru trilogy to your list if it isn't already there - The first one is very arcade-style, one-hit kills and etc. I think you'd like it.

Addictive and fiendishly difficult! Has a world map and passkey codes per world (after dying) and you can continue, but from beginning of the world.
Played it on and off in-between watching cricket and tennis. Its fun :-)

My first Power Joy with cart for $3. Pandamar! Oh boy! Unfortunately, the battery cover is missing, but the cart works great in my Twin Fami.
(http://i.imgur.com/or1dVcQ.png)
I do have some questions. What does the left side "Oni" option do?
Also, I used a negative polarity with 12 Volts and it worked on the system. Is that too many volts for the thing?

The system itself has 10 games, all Duck Hunt/Hogans Alley/Battle City clones on it. Actual FC games on it sound and look horrible, so I'm thinking of just keeping the cart, and re-donating the system.
The cart has the following:

Woohoo! I got a Family BASIC Data Recorder! I'm excited to finally get it since I was looking out for this item for a year or so. It came with tape deck, Nintendo tape, and manual. I didn't get the cables for it though. The buttons on the tape deck look a little yellowed so I'll probably whiten it in peroxide once I receive it. I'm going to buy myself 2 3.5mm mono cables so I can plug this in my keyboard. Anyone want to buy the manual? It's in great condition and I don't need it.

I'll make another post here when I find out weather or not it works... Or if it actually contains SMB2. :-[

Tonight when I get paid I'm going to buy more games:
Pizza Pop
Wacky Races
Mickey Mouse 3
Super NInja-kun
Makeruna Makendo
Kishin Douji Senki: Rettou Raiden
And possibly, pirate carts of Panic Restaurant and Little Samson
Selling my Sega Saturn will pay for most of this.

As the costs started to run away I decide to skip Pizza Pop and Makeruna Makendo, after trying them some more in emulator. Pizza pops hit detection is much harder to get down that expected, and the knock back in makeruna makendo (kendo rage) could prove a bit annoying. Gonna keep them on my "list" though.
Also I added Ninja Gaiden Shadow on Gameboy.

I was initially supposed to be getting Rockman 1 as well, but someone else bought the copy I had my eyes on. So I still need to get that one... luckily a copy of Doki Doki Yuuenchi showed up that I won, which made up for it. Also, Ghegs absolutely wasn't kidding about AI4's quality. That is a damn good game.

Yeah, I have no doubt that I'm gonna have to pay a lot for it when the time comes, but man I really want to complete the set.
DDY is great - the rollercoaster stages get very challenging at the end, the bosses are huge, and of course the power-up/health system is incredibly unique. My only gripe about the game is that there seems to be an issue with jumping sometimes. Like, roughly 5% of the time or so, it'll "stagger" my jump input and give me a small jump even when I hold the button, and this can lead to death in certain parts. I'm still not sure if this is just a problem with the game itself, or if I'm timing my jumps wrong (maybe it staggers because of the texture difference near the edge of a platform?) Not sure. I've managed to beat it without continues a few times so it isn't that big of a flaw, just a minor gripe. Pick it up if you have the chance!

My experience with Doki Doki Yuuenchi is a bit on the opposite side. The boss fights and the power-up/health things are cool, but the stages are pretty boring. And from watching a playthrough on Youtube, the same stage layouts with the same enemies (or their rough equivalents) at about the same locations seem to be repeated once or twice, the setting just changes. If it was a more affordable game I could be more forgiving, but to me DDY doesn't feel worth the price I've seen it going for.
Nice catches nonetheless.

I see what you mean, like the 2 ghost house levels, the 2 jungle-themed levels, etc. These stage types are very similar to each other. It'd be cool if the stages each represented unique attractions, like Kaiketsu Yanchamaru 2. But I found them pretty fun nonetheless.
Just how much does it usually go for, by the way? My copy ended at like 15,000 yen, and I haven't seen one on eBay or elsewhere in a really long time (besides the crazy $500 one...) so it's tough for me to say.

Haul for July:
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/ghegs/Famicomhaul_July_zpsnoqbji3i.jpg)
Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers 1+2, Power Blade, Flipull, CrossFire, Adventure Island and Flappy.
You might notice the Flappy box is a bit larger than the standard size. That's because it comes with a big extra booklet that explains basic strategies as well as clear instructions on how to beat the first five stages. Pretty cool.
There's no similar excuse as to why Flipull's box is so big. That's just Taito giving the middle finger to conformity, I guess. The cart isn't even properly secured in there, it's pretty loose. I don't know what they were thinking.

Beautiful! You ended up finding Chip N Dale 1-2 after all? That is great, I figured it'd be ages before another nice CIB copy of 1 was listed. I see you decided to go for Takahashi 1 to complete the set... it's kinda awkward to have all but one entries of a series, so I can see why.
I completely forgot Cross Fire even existed, thanks for the reminder... adding that one to the list. Maybe Flappy too... I'm usually not into early games, but I do recall playing that one on emulator briefly many years ago, same with "Banana". And then of course Power Blade, best addition of the set.

I see only good games (except I haven't played Flappy)! Me and my brother played the crap out of Chip 'n Dale back in the day. The sequel seems great too, though I only tested it in emulators.

Is Flipull's box larger than that of games like Insector X? I could have sworn they were the same size, but after trying to pull out the box and compare (and being unable to locate it), maybe I don't even have Flipull CIB.

I don't have Insector X myself, but looking at images of it, it's box does look to be the same size as Flipull's.

I really like Chip N Dale 2, though I agree with the general consensus on it: The stages are inferior to those of CnD1, but the bosses are greatly superior.
Ghegs, how many titles do you have left to go on your list? Or are you just adding more as you go?

That is exactly my feeling on Chip n Dale 2. It is nice to see bosses that represent the cartoon show, but the stages are not nearly as good.

The list has about 20 games, but it's a bit of a fluid number. There are some there I'm not sure if I really want to get, and I have been known to buy games outside the list when I happen to spot them at a good price. And I still do occasionally find a game I've never seen mentioned anywhere (alternatively: have seen mentioned but have forgotten and/or dismissed it) that makes for a new entry to the list. So yeah, it's tough to say. But the end is approaching (I purchased seven games just last weekend) and I will have roughly 200 CIB FC titles when it's all said and done.

Sounds like somebody needs to do a romhack with Chip 1's stages but Chip 2's bosses.

Crazy how close you are to finishing, that's pretty cool. Especially since, I'm guessing you already have all the good expensive titles out of the way (unless there's one or more I'm forgetting somehow), whereas I unfortunately still have quite a few of them to go.

Yeah I noticed Chip 2 is more polished and has more dialogue and stuff. But about all the bosses in 1 was also taken from the show. They have very simple patterns though.

Here are my latest additions. I should have a few more things to add by the end of the week, but unfortunately they missed the cut and won't be in the picture.

The thing that drives me crazy though are pending trades. I have a few trades that I can hopefully have completed by mid August (we're almost there), but the trades just aren't finalized yet. You know the sort, we keep piling more and more items on our respective piles, until we both run out of things to add, and then we send our stuff out. I will have two or three really great packages that (when all is said and done) will get to me probably in September or (shudders) October. Really can't wait. ;)

Bio Hazard (Waixing)
Zelda (Waixing)
Flowers in the Mirror (Waixing)

Just got back from visiting family in Fukuoka. Hit up some of my favorite spots and came away with this lot for about ¥1,500.

And the entire haul from the week. The same Book-Off that wants 1,000 yen for a loose, pulse-line Mah-Jong sold me Rocket Knight Adventures for ¥280 and Last Gladiators 9.7 for 108. Weird, no?

I agree with what Ghegs wrote "And I still do occasionally find a game I've never seen mentioned anywhere" as it also happened to me many times (not only on famicom but also on other systems).
I don't know for the other members, but using " a bible" (a french example: http://cocole.com/arrivage-la-bible-nes-famicom/) in order to look for the games we haven't known before, see some videos on www.youtube.com or play with emulator is a good baseline for identifying games you haven't noted on your wanted list.
For example, I recently added (and got) Sword Master that I didn't know. For famicom, I remembered there were 8 games left to finishi my collection 2 years ago and now there are ...14 left (knowing that I found the 8 previous wanted). It always deals with games I forgot to add or I didn't know, but it is not games I didn't plan to include before and I would have changed my mind....
Any other views on it?

Salamander - no label, but that's fine as I can easily tell it apart from my other FC games. Maybe I'll add one later.
Magnum Kiki Ippatsu: Empire City 1931 - I've been interested in this game ever since Nintendo Power mentioned it and it was supposed to get an NES release, but never did by our pals at Acclaim.

You're correct, though it was initially slated for a JP release as "Arc Hound". I guess Gremlin was referring to the official NES cart of the game, which is indeed insanely pricey.

I had a keyboard and cart. I *really* wanted the box and book. And, at a 1,000 yen, I knew it'd be a LONG time before I could come by either for a lower price.
The keyboard is in a condition that can only be described a "fascinating". It has yellowed in ways I've never before seen AND the previous owner has applied roughly a dozen stickers to it, mostly katakana shortcuts/translations/reminders/shortcuts.
The cart is is phenomenal shape. In fact, it may be the single nicest Family Basic cartridge I have *ever* seen. The contrast between the condition of the cart and that of the of the keyboard is staggering.

Yeah that one!
Maybe it only comes with certain prints. Do you know if it was it V2.1, V2 or older version that it came with (version number is printed on screen in BASIC mode and also on page 49 in the manual)?. Mine only came with a hard paper sprite/palette sheet which is identical to the one on the last page in the manual. I scanned it and it can be downloaded from the translation thread.

You're correct, though it was initially slated for a JP release as "Arc Hound". I guess Gremlin was referring to the official NES cart of the game, which is indeed insanely pricey.
Yup on the NES, it slipped my mind to write that portion of the text.

Wow, you ended up finding GI Joe 1 and 2 after all? Congrats finding those ones. Also happy to see Kaiketsu Yanchamaru games + Cocoron... Moero Twinbee is currently on my list, as is Boulder Dash. Are you not interested in getting Kaiketsu Yanchamaru 1? Or are you saving that one for later? I think it'd be your favorite of the bunch.
Thank you Stealthlurker! Your collection was a massive inspiration to shaping my goals. Hopefully I'll still be able to finish by the end of the year... though my want list has expanded a bit lately because I've grown to appreciate early Famicom games a bit more.

After what seemed like an eternity, I finally received a nice package in the mail today from Russia. Within were these beauties:
(http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y419/fcgamer26/DSC_0271_zpsltqkcmgs.jpg) (http://s1273.photobucket.com/user/fcgamer26/media/DSC_0271_zpsltqkcmgs.jpg.html)
Some of these are unlicensed Russian educational games, and the others are Russian translations of Japanese / English Famicom games. This trade was months in the making, and I am glad to see the fruits of my labor. :)
I actually have a second package from Russia on its way, which includes some more Russian translation carts, several of which are the same as above. I just think these unofficial translations are so cool though, and love having them in my collection.

Yeah, they have Russian text. I need to take some pics sometime, some of them have Russian title screens and stuff too. TMNT for example, all the text is Russian, really cool.
The game with Abel is Super Fighter, it is a hack of Super C iirc.

Had to resort to eBay and their global shipping program to get the G.I. Joe games, but at least I got 'em now. I'll probably get the first Yanchamaru at some point.

Last ever time I use the GSP to buy or sell, it's not fit for purpose.

The Global Shipping Program sucks. I had to wait like 7 weeks just to get a box of cables I bought (which were the wrong size). I had to take a train to this print shop to pick it up instead of going to my regular post office. The bozo at the print shop was too lazy to get my package and told me he didn't have it. I wasted 2 hours of time and some transit fare just to not even get my package.
Global Shipping Program always finds a way to scam the buyer and seller. You don't save money or save time using this service. Always ask the seller to use regular postage when shipping an item.

Hm, I had to use GSP for both games, each from a different seller, and other than the service taking some extra $$$ from me, I'm happy with it. Received both items on the same day, just a hair over two weeks after ordering them and I had tracking codes for both so I knew where they were the whole time. They were well-packaged, too.
Some US sellers simply will not ship internationally without GSP, but I've managed to go without it before now.

I finally got a Famicom AV modded + disk system last month. I did a video (sorry it's in french and the video have poor quality)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGzQCbMvkHI
The disk system belt was replaced by the seller when i bought it.
I received with the systems a loose copy of the Goonies II on famicom and i didn't even know. He left a note saying: Here is the catridge we used to test the console. :)
a day before receiving the systems i got my famicom disk games. Got them all under 10$ each.
Famicom tantai club CIB (disk defect, always getting Error 27) :(
Crackout CIB
Exciting Baseball CIB
Galaxy Odyssey CIB
Dead Zone CIB
F1 Race loose (Wrong game on disk, happen to be Silviana instead. Still happy)

I have no idea what version the Liko cart is, it doesn't have a version listed (on cart, box, or title screen). The other yellow cart is a Russian version Subor educational cart. I have no idea if CaH4e3 dumped it or not ;)

Correct. If you want to get a Japanese Master System, you can plug in your Famicom 3D System directly into the 3D glasses port on the Sega without an adapter.

Yeah I think it's FDS exclusive. It's a western computer game about a mole that was ported to FDS, Monty Mole was changed to a human character in the FDS version.

Won a Turbo Twin Famicom (AN-505-BK model) on eBay for around $100 shipped. I've wanted one for ages, and that seems like a good price :)

Finally finished my Famicom Rockman collection. :)
If you're ever in Yokohama, don't miss ZEST in Tostuka.

This is probably the best "find" I've had since I started actively collecting. There's a pretty cool story, but end is that this whole lot only set me back 6,800 yen. Over the freakin moon about this.

There's this family-owned toy/game store near my place. It is fantastic. Like a place that is frozen in time. A throwback to the late 80's and early 90's. I've been going there for years, ever since my wife's job necessitated our moving to the area.
It's one of those old-style places, where the owners own the building itself. Where the family lives on the second floor while allowing the first floor to be used as a retail space. It's amazing, top to bottom. The current owner is incredibly knowledgeable about video games from pre-Famicom up through present day. And, by that, I mean "he knows everything from the colors of individual Famicom carts to the publishers of games, rare and common, and beyond. And, his mom is sweet and nice and makes my wife and me tea when we come by.
For one reason or another, it's been a few months since my wife and I dropped by this place. I was looking for Super Contra, New Ghostbusters 2, and the second and third Ninja Ryukenden games. The owner was like, "Give me a sec to check in the back. Pretty sure I've got Ninja Ryukenden 2 somewhere. Oh, and feel free to pick through the stuff in front. I've pulled out a bunch of stuff front storage since you've last been here."
"Oh! Here's Super Contra!" I said.
"Awesome! I've got a copy of Ninja 2, but the sticker on the back is missing. That cool?" he replied. "Oh, yeah. That's fine. I just want to play the thing."
"Great! By the by, did you check out the boxed games?"
I flipped through the stacks of boxed Super Famicom games and noticed copies of Akumajou Dracula and Contra Spirits for 1,480 yen and 980 yen, respectively. Games that I absolutely needed for my collection. While going through the loose carts, I couldn't believe when I happened upon Crisis Force. My number one "wanted" Famicom cart. I mean, yeah, Summer Carnival, Rikkle, and Panic Restaurant are all more expensive and rare, but Crisis Force is this amazing, fun, and fairly tough to find cart, and (arguably) the best SHMUP on the console. And it wast stickered at 1,200 yen.
Now, this is a place that I've bought a measurable percentage of my collection from. For hardware, especially, they've been very good to me. They set me up with my Famicom Robot stuff (boxed Robot, Gyro, and Block sets for a combined 5,000 yen), most of my joysticks (Family king, Pachinko controller, etc). I bought my copies of Wacky Races, Akumajou Densetsu, FC Genjin, Boku Dracula-kun, and dozens more from them.
The owner was like, "I'm always happy to sell to somebody like you who loves the hobby and who actually plays the games". Nothing against the guys who just resell on net auctions, but I prefer folks who play and enjoy these games.
I showed him a picture of the current state of my collection, and he (the owner of the largest privately-owned video game store I've ever been to in the country) looked impressed.
He rang up my purchase and tried to give me a discount. Like I was doing HIM a favor by buying 20-30 thousand yen worth of games for six thousand. I (politely) asked him not to discount the price, on the grounds that I'd been hunting for a copy of Super Contra and Ninja Ryukenden 2 and would happily pay whatever he'd marked them as.
But, truth be told, I still feel like a real heel for walking out of his store with what I consider by best "haul" of all time, having only paid 6,800 yen. :(

Having checked out the video (thanks, btw), it couldn't be any more different. This store, called "Friend" in Musashi-Shinjou, has got to be one of the most interesting places I've stumbled across in all my years in Japan.
You'd never even know it *sold* games, let alone housed THOUSANDS of them, ranging from loose carts to sealed/CiB games dating back to 1983. It just looks like an old, ignored toy store. If not for some really weird happenstance, my wife and I would have never even *found* the place, let alone gone in. And if it hadn't been for the owner's mom being in a chatty mood, we'd never have learned of the backstory, history, or "tip of the iceburg" nature of the place.
Famicom Dojo sounds absolutely incredible, though.

My haul for September and October. I only bought a few games in September, so I didn't bother making a post back then. This is also my last "big" haul, only got a few games left to get.
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y56/ghegs/FCHaul_October_zpsim6zuii9.jpg)
Mad Wizard from RetroUSB, Doki! Doki! Yuuenchi, De-Block, Shi Kin Jyo, Dragon's Lair, Kaiketsu Yanchamaru, King Kong 2, Great Tank, Wai Wai World, Twinbee and Ochin ni Toshi Puzzle Tonjan!?
Shi Kin Jyo was a total surprise which I run into completely by accident. Don't remember seeing it anywhere before. It's a box-pushing-puzzle -type of game, which I happen to adore. Ochin is one of those as well, but I far prefer Shi Kin Jyo. Curiously, both have a Mahjongg theme to them, though Shi Kin Jyo also has a choice between two other completely different audiovisual themes, which is pretty cool.
Mad Wizard is great, one of the best western-developed NES indies I've played. Dragon's Lair is, well, horrible, but I think for me it's one of those "so bad it's good" deals. Doki Doki Yuuenchi is just normal kind of bad. I only bought it because I managed to win an auction for a good price. When I got the game I actually had Kick Master in the console, a far superior title from the same developers.

So pumped to see Kaiketsu Yanchamaru in there... that and Doki Doki Yuuenchi are truly rare games. As always, really good picks, man. A few there that are on my wanted list, in fact.
I haven't made a haul post in a few months myself, so here is what I've gotten in the mean time.

This trend should continue to the end of the year, nearly every game left on my wanted list (about 20) I know you already have. Are you planning on taking a shot of the whole collection when you're finished? That'll be cool to compare.

Hah, no. It'd be a waste of money and space. I'm a player first and collector second, and my collection as it is already has a little bit of fluff, stuff I know I'm not going to play. But I'll have all the games I do want to play, the rest of the Famicom library would be either games I can't play due to language barrier (RPGs, visual novels...) or don't want.

Ah, I misunderstood. Yes, I'll take pictures of all the FC stuff when I'm done. Though I think instead of trying to fit it all into one picture, I'll take several to display them better. I've got the games organized roughly by genre in these storage boxes I got from Ikea, so I'll probably do it a box at a time.

One of my friends hooked me up with this Game Boy Micro, Famicom Happy Mario 20th edition.

I have no idea if it works or not, since I don't have a way to charge the battery, but once I get the proper cable, I suspect at the end of the day this guy will work. With that said, I was quite shocked when I saw the price loose versions of this machine were going for on ebay. No idea if I will eventually sell this or not, but for the time being, it stays in my collection.
Also, I wanted to take the below picture.

Nice Kung Fu selection! How did you end up with 4? Yamatoku recently sold a nice CIB one and as you'd expect, it went for a lot.
Dave you can pick really chap USB cable chargers for the micro, I'd go for one of those. Otherwise it's the same cable end as a PS3 contrroller I think, aka Blackberry charger.

Yup. Hiro and his Brother and Mother are friends of mine and Hiro even let us use the logo that he made for the store on our website and T-Shirts.
As for the store you are talking about, called "Friend". I love that place! Sean and I even filmed a few videos there.

One of my favorite stores in Tokyo. In my opinion much better than Super Potato (just because not as many people know about it, so it's not as touristy).

2 new fds games added to my collection.
Exciting Soccer
Professional Mahjong Gokuu
Fds collection growing slowly but still continue. Unfortunatly, there is no konami card for exciting soccer so i have to track one down. The only other konami games i have with a card is exciting baseball for the moment so im not desperate.

I believe this is the place in Akihabara. Also an awesome place. The "Friend" I mentioned in in Kanagawa and sells mostly old stock toys.
Love the Famicom Dojo YouTube stuff, btw.

I'm pretty sure he got Hiro's blessing first.
Yup. Hiro and his Brother and Mother are friends of mine and Hiro even let us use the logo that he made for the store on our website and T-Shirts.
As for the store you are talking about, called "Friend". I love that place! Sean and I even filmed a few videos there.

One of my favorite stores in Tokyo. In my opinion much better than Super Potato (just because not as many people know about it, so it's not as touristy).

Tiny Toons adventures and Wrecking Crew.
I recently finished the 2nd tiny toon adventures..so..time to give the 1st a go.
Wrecking crew...I played it a while back on Nes Remix on the Wii U and loved it..didn't realise until recently what a great game it really is :)

A very nice boxed copy of Star Ocean. Don't usually buy boxed games but this was the same price as a loose cart so I nabbed it.

It's an unlicenced game that plays somewhat similarly to Bubble Bobble - the big difference is that you essentially get rid of all of the enemies by running into them when you're the same colour, which you change by going into the paint buckets. :) Oddly, the copy I have is a pirated one that removes the Tip Top logo and changes the copyright year to 1993, I wonder if there's an official stand-alone version of the game because the only one I've seen is on a NES multicart of all things. ???

Well, I'd say it's definitely kusoge, but it has a weird charm to it that lured me in. I like its bizarre tie-in to a child star, I like the music, and I like that it reminds me of Psycho Fox/Decap Attack.

My second Rockman game, still need 1 and 5 and maybe 2 (already have Mega Man 2 and Rockman 3).
The first world of War Wai World 2 seemed a bit bland with all the slow autoscrolling, but World 2 seems quite promising.

Wow, Ghegs, congrats on completing the set at long last... coincidentally I got Abarenbou Tengu recently as well, and have been playing the crap out of it lately. Might be my favorite non-Konami shmup on the system.
Why the Fire Emblem games, if I may ask? They don't seem like the type of game I'd have expected you to get.
Lastly, when can we expect a full collection shot? :) I myself am wrapping up, just waiting on my last few packages...

I'm a firm believer in giving games outside your comfort zone a go every now and then.
I don't think I'll take a big collection shot with all 200+ games in a single picture, but I'll take something. Maybe this weekend if the mood strikes me.

I hope this is the case, can't wait to see. What are you thoughts on Abarenbou Tengu, out of curiosity? You're much more of a shmup connoisseur than I but I've just fallen in love with this one lately.

I ended up buying one more game, so the collection shots will wait have to wait until that arrives at least.
I'm actually not that impressed with Abarenbou Tengu. You have lots of inertia so accurate control is nearly impossible, something that's generally unacceptable in shmups. Sometimes you don't notice you've been hit thanks to the busy screen. The first time I played I kept getting killed almost right away and I couldn't figure out why, until I realized the "lightning" firing from the top of some buildings actually hurts you, despite the building itself being obviously in the background (and a long way into the background too, it looks like there's a whole suburb between the building and yourself). And the lightning hurts a lot too, I've seen them instantly take 7 out of the 8 hitpoints. Yet you can take two or three shots from enemies before you lose even a single hitpoint. So it feels quite unbalanced in that regard.
Overall the stage design isn't terribly inspired. In the first two stages the environmental hazards can just be destroyed so there's little of interest there. Stage 3 is the highlight of the game I'd say, especially the latter part in the factory. And the boss is pretty cool as well, it's like its own lil' ministage, not entirely unlike R-Type's Stage 3.

The first time I played I kept getting killed almost right away and I couldn't figure out why, until I realized the "lightning" firing from the top of some buildings actually hurts you, despite the building itself being obviously in the background (and a long way into the background too, it looks like there's a whole suburb between the building and yourself). And the lightning hurts a lot too, I've seen them instantly take 7 out of the 8 hitpoints. Yet you can take two or three shots from enemies before you lose even a single hitpoint. So it feels quite unbalanced in that regard.
Overall the stage design isn't terribly inspired. In the first two stages the environmental hazards can just be destroyed so there's little of interest there. Stage 3 is the highlight of the game I'd say, especially the latter part in the factory. And the boss is pretty cool as well, it's like its own lil' ministage, not entirely unlike R-Type's Stage 3.

Some recent finds of mine, two of my favorites as of late:

The Famiclone definitely seems like it could use some restoration, though it is in working condition.

I could definitely see MWK being able to find these, as I suspect Polish distribution was higher than in other places, judging from how the rest of the Codemasters Famicom stuff was distributed.
I had managed to track one down in Argentina, and had a South American buddy help me obtain it.

I think it's a pretty cool book, as someone who has/had some of the old famicom guide books and doujin stuff it's nice to see a lot of the stuff that was out there listed by publisher with a picture of the cover. The unique art a lot of these guides had always interested me:

I was able to order them with a amazon.jp account and have them shipped to me from prime sellers to the US, I think it only incurred a 7 dollar shipping and handling fee each.
The Famicom 83-94 book is the more interesting of the two I think, the photos are from a 2003 museum exhibit and it contains an english translation for all the text (somewhat spotty in some areas, but good enough). It's out of print so more expensive, but worth it I think.

I got this in yesterday, I got it based on some advice from another famicom enthusiast, and the underrated/underappreciated games thread here in the other sub forum. It's a really cool game, and one of the best looking on the system in many spots. A true "hidden gem".

I might be wrong but don't Korean bootleg carts (and official ones) avoid having Japanese text in general? I own these two carts and most of the games on them are the NES versions. What makes me suspicious is that the Japanese Rockman 2 is included on the first one, but the intro and subtitle is cut. Makes me wonder why they didn't just take the NES version instead. ???

Nightstar699: It wasn't no, it was Yet Another Puzzler I found. I'll try 'n get the collection shots done this weekend. I hope you don't mean you're done with Famicom now - my hobby is just entering Phase 2 now that I have all the games I want. Now it's about getting (and recording) a 1CC video of every game where applicable.

Awesome, now there is something I can't wait for. I'd love to match your collection pics with some of my own but I'm thinking I just don't have the space to lay them all out.
Oh don't get me wrong, when I said I'm finished I entirely meant with the buying phase, I've still been enjoying Famicom as much as ever - just recently I learned to 1LC Ninja Gaiden II, and the Alucard path of Akumajou Densetsu. I would love to see your skills applied to more games in your collection. Are you just working through them as you please, or is there any chance you'd take requests on games to record? Because personally I'd really love to compare your CV1, and Ninja Gaiden 1-3 strats to my own.

I'm kind of bad with requests, it often starts feeling too much like work to play what someone else wants me to play, rather than what I feel like playing myself. But CV1 might be a possibility in the somewhat near future, I was working on it before and came up with reliable strats up to Death fight before I was distracted by something shiny.

Just watermark your pics and re-upload them.

I thought it would be a bit of a downer, but I also thought you'd feel strongly about it, especially if we started seeing repros and the value went down for example.
Please don't take it the wrong way. I can watermark them for you if you want and re-upload? I left it a day or so before I temporarily removed them.
Heck of a find and I'm really pleased for you - another gem to add to your collection! You can be sure we're all in awe - it's only cos the images were raw photos and better than anything online.
Sadly we've had new members request scans of them before here so I do think there are people looking for them, also Google images can hang on to them to make them easily searchable etc.

Recent arrivals. Box/"manual"/etc for 8 bit music power were photoed in the other thread, I prefer to just keep the carts out for easy access.

A few games from fcgamer! DA is really Doki! Doki! Yūenchi: Crazy Land Daisakusen, a game I've wanted ever since seeing a spread in one of the Consumer's Guide NES hint books.

Well, I did end up getting it. Bit of a story there too. After Nightstar699 mentioned it in our post-stash picture discussion, I looked for it and found one on eBay that had a price that was too low for a CIB, but too high for a loose cart. It only had a stock photo and the title was just "Spartan X 2 Japan" (no Famicom anywhere in there) so I very nearly ignored it right away, thinking it must be a hugely overpriced loose cart. The description was bit of a mess too, only in the middle of a long paragraph was it mentioned that the original box, manual and game are indeed included.
I contacted the seller and asked for more photos. They replied, saying that they've now updated the listing with more photos and because they've received many inquiries about it, also increased the price by $100. BUT! They said they'd honor the original price I found it at, if I still wanted the game.
And I sure did. That's probably the last great Famicom deal I'll be getting.

That's quite a story on the road to acquiring this one. Really nice of the seller to honor the price.
Also interesting as to how much "ambitious" this game tried to be over the original... At least that's how I felt when I first played it ;D

*cool things*
A fitting and worthy end to the bulk of your FC collecting... something about you having Spartan X, but not its technically-superior-yet-arguably-less-charming brother just felt... wrong. But I thought that might have just been my personal love for the game talking.
Upon looking at completed listings, I must say, I'm surprised you had such a good experience with this seller, because I was in a similar situation with vastly different results. A while back I tried purchasing a game they had listed (Banana Ouji no Daibouken), and again, it was a stock photo, had a price that was too high for cart, too low for CIB, yet the description said it was CIB. So upon asking them for pictures, they ended up ignoring my messages altogether and canceling the whole thing. Huh. Well in the end I didn't want that game (just because of the stupid quiz sections halfway through, if it wasn't for that it'd be in my collection), so it's no big loss but still, glad it worked out for you. SX2 is a cool game.

I acquired it through a trade deal recently, I am trying to pare down on physical media for other consoles and refocus on NES/FC/FDS so I had equivalent items to trade for it. I think it is the last expensive game on the console I wanted, so from here on out it's just researching interesting carts to buy :redcart:

The last month has been rough for me, so little extra money for buying games and stuff. But things are finally starting to look up, and I had a chance to get some more gaming items:

Six Famicom cartridges. My favorite is Fire Hawk though.
But saving the best for now, my find of today:

Two Famiclone guns, boxed. I really like that Kid Ken gun, Polish guys, Kid Ken was popular over there, did you ever see this before? Also glad for Q*Bert and Final Fight to play.

In my opinion, things with Kid Ken brand here in Poland are also rare - I didn't saw any Kid Ken item at Polish auction sites from time when I started collecting Famicom games (around two years). Maybe few collectors here have Kid Ken console, at least I know about MWK have one, but Kid Ken gun is something unknown.

I've toyed with the idea of a complete CIB collection myself and technically I could do it. I already have most/all the expensive and hard to find ones. But those are also the good ones. I don't want to have ~900 games that I have no interest in playing, or can't play due to the language barrier. So many baseball and mahjongg games...that's just collecting for collecting's sake, I'm not interested in that.
But yeah, it's certainly doable. Really expensive and you'll have a heck of a time storing it all, but doable.

not sure how many i CIB i have somewhere around 500. i do try to play the games i get every time. there are still expensive ones i still need to get and its not getting easier. i like collect CIB just because the box art is so beautiful on famicom games so i dont collect just to collect. some days i just go through all the boxes just to look a the beautiful art. i had a plan to learn japanese for a long time so i can play all the games but there is always something else that comes up and it runs out in the sand....

Hell, even as it is I look at some of the CIBs in my collection and go "why the hell did I buy this?" Like, I can't really imagine an urge to play Bubble Bobble 2 or Snow Bros. popping up any time soon... for example.

what can i say some people collect the rare and expensive games "only" and don't care the other games in the library, i´ve seen these things even 15years ago. so what is this forum about? i´m new here and it seems focused on rare expensive games/collection which is fine and the last posts have been mostly about having all the expensive games and no need for the rest? i say the "rest" need to have the same love. collecting just for collecting? haha i never heard that tho i wanna say collecting isnt to buy the most expensive games the fastest, that is buying what you want if you can afford it. i love to collect the more unknown titles and always has, even love all the baseball boxes they are adorable.
i could take some pictures of my collection but i need some time to organise a picture that would be fair

I thought about going for a complete CIB Famicom collection once, though that dream has all but gone. Even after going for a complete Famicom set (licensed + unlicensed, folks), only having less than 40 licensed carts and about the same for unlicensed, it has started to wear me out a bit, and will be a marathon that I will be happy to see completed. To go for that stuff all CIB, I think it would be a journey that would just get tiring after awhile, no matter how interested in the hobby one is. Just my two cents though.

After toying back and forth about how and what to collect for retro video game in general, I decided for the famicom to go for small box set of cartridge launch titles mainly for display plus some fun two player games to actually play. A minor disappointment was the silver box games being a little bigger in size... but I think I'm being too picky now? >:(

I think having a complete pulseline collection is a nice goal to have - they're easy to get an relatively inexpensive for the most part, and look great as a set (the launch lineup) next to the red & white Famicom.

I agree that the pulseline or all of Nintendo's early games are fun to collect everyone that came out. I own about 35 games or so and most of them are Nintendo published games. I only want to have a few games in my collection and I think that this set of games is the most significant to collect for! They have beautiful design, inside and out ;)

I would like to one day own a new copy of Druaga and Quest of Ki, they're both rather primitive and punishing but also fairly charming. When I have off days of gaming I won't even bother since you need swift and precise control. >:(

I bought a NTSC keyboard Famiclone after wanting one for years. It's pretty nice but I don't know what type of power supply to use with it as it doesn't have specs on it to tell me.

My White Whale. Not the hardest to find or most expensive, but the game I wanted to add to my collection more than any other.

That is a lovely copy of NGB2 you got there, glad you were able to snag that one for a good price. Here's what I've got post-"finishing":
(http://i.imgur.com/lEMq3pX.jpg)
I honestly now prefer the U.S. versions of NG3 and CV3, also, Saiyuuki World is a blast. Loving this one way more than I thought I would.
Still a few more I think I'll get, then I'm seriously done for good. For real this time.

Gotta be honest guys: I like Utsurun Desu. I said it. It's kuso-ge, sure, but it plays decently enough and the humor made it a blast to play, so I'd put it in the same category as Seikima II: I'll admit it's kusoge, but I love it anyway.

I'm sure the rare hardware is what you're pointing at as the "real treasure", FCGamer, but I must say your software choices were on point as well. Samurai Pizza Cats, Zyuranger, Banana Prince... some fine rarities there. Speaking of which...
Here's my final (for real this time) haul post.
(http://i.imgur.com/AFJUc2F.jpg)
Banana Prince, Great Tank, Western Kids, Tetrastar, Insector X and Taiyo no Yuusha Firebird on Famicom, then S.C.A.T., Monster Party and Super Spy Hunter on NES. (because I don't like it nearly enough to spend the ~$1000 for Battle Formula)
S.C.A.T. is my favorite of the bunch... I've always loved the music and style of Final Mission, but as someone who kinda sucks at shmups, it's way too hard for me to even come close to beating. This U.S. release of the game remedies that for sure. (Though to be fair, I prefer the harder U.S. releases of Ninja Gaiden 3 and Castlevania 3...)

@Nightstar: The Taiwanese Famicom is the most important of the items in that find, as moving to Taiwan was what had got me into collecting Famicom to begin with. So to get the official hardware from that is really special to me, even though it is terribly beat up.
The games, yes I agree some of those Famicom games are jewels. Also the unlicensed original Game Boy titles, another soft spot for me. Sadly the Bitman clone machine (boxed) turned out to be a NOAC, probably made in the mid 90s.
@Ryo: Impressive finds as always. Maybe someday I will try to add more boxed licensed Famicom games to my collection.
Anyway, here are my recent finds:

The N64 is a Taiwanese version, btw. I just need to get some controllers so that my gf and I can play Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64 together. Thank you DS, for sparking her interest in these games ;)

Got some nice finds yesterday - very pleased with this one to arrive at last:
(http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/L___E___T/Family-Computer-AGB-101-RCG-custom__front_zpsu17g3h9p.png) (http://s261.photobucket.com/user/L___E___T/media/Family-Computer-AGB-101-RCG-custom__front_zpsu17g3h9p.png.html)(http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/L___E___T/Family-Computer-AGB-101-RCG-custom__back_zpsr6lukwir.png) (http://s261.photobucket.com/user/L___E___T/media/Family-Computer-AGB-101-RCG-custom__back_zpsr6lukwir.png.html)
Here's what it looks like, from a WIP production shot:
(http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/L___E___T/12584130_10153784832221399_339196266_n_zpslip91mhh.jpg) (http://s261.photobucket.com/user/L___E___T/media/12584130_10153784832221399_339196266_n_zpslip91mhh.jpg.html)
I guess this counts as a Famicom find? It's an AGB-101 backlit GBA original model, with bespoke paint job and fascia in the 1P controller style, in special packaging design.
Still sealed and I can't decide whether to open or not as it is the only one in the world especially made as a unique item.

Also congrats on the Video Racer. I want one of those car clones sometime, especially boxed. I am jealous :)

And some recent local finds:
(http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y419/fcgamer26/IMG_9090_zpsktm7np5j.jpg) (http://s1273.photobucket.com/user/fcgamer26/media/IMG_9090_zpsktm7np5j.jpg.html)
The top games are all PC games. One is from SoftStar, a prominent PC software company back in the day. While not a PC gamer at all, the fact that this one had its original box made it worth picking up, imo. This is how hoarding starts, folks ;) Also are a game from AV Artisian (they had done original unlicensed games back in the day) and a porno mahjong game.
Next up is a Russian Simba's Junior. Sadly the clone inside is generic. No idea how this ended up in Taiwan, I guess maybe just extra stock that the Chinese factory had, which was never sent to Russia. Some unused pirate cart labels and a few bootleg Famicom carts.
Finally, an Asder educational children's PC thingie. Oh how the mighty have fallen, to have produced Huang Di and then something like this, ugh. I need to get some batteries to test this out, but I'll likely be taking this in to school for my children to play with.

And a City Boy II joystick from Honest. This seems to have been quite popular back in the day, as it was advertised a lot. Is compatible with Famicom, Super Famicom, Sega Mega Drive, maybe even PC. First time I ever found one though, and it is in nice condition overall, despite being slightly overpriced imo.

Very, very nice. I've always wanted one of those models.
I opted for the "salmon" colored AN505RD with turbo controllers and have used it for a long time, but I think the colors on this model are a lot better than pink/red/salmon/whatever.

The Ken Kid Super Famicom clone is brand new, despite the box being a little dirty The Mario 2 cart is used, the Super 98 Lion King for Famicom is also brand new.
Although these two are mine for the collection, I know where I can get another (brand new) Ken Kid Super Famicom machine, as well as a few more of the Super 98 Lion King Famicom cartridges, if anyone here wants them. Just pm me and make an offer.

Yeah it can use standard Super Famicom controllers. Regarding build quality, it is nice, from what I can see. Ken Kid was one of the competitors to the Micro Genius brand back in the early 1990s: i.e. high quality products, just slightly less than the licensed / original products. This isn't some modern shitty clone, if that's what you mean ;)

That answers my question perfectly, thank you! How's the video quality?
I'd be tempted to get one but have RGB setups for all my consoles now.
I still like AV composite, but wondered all the same.

About half of the stuff I'm keeping for my own collection, the rest goes up for sale / trade. Not a bad find locally, from a contact of mine that decided to get out of the game.

Thanks! I actually really like the colors on the AN505RD as well, but I decided I am tired of dealing with yellowing systems so now I am trying to get all my consoles in black to avoid the problem. :) Do you have any pics of your AN505RD?

Here's a really nice find of mine, just picked this up recently:

Official Taiwan version Game Boy Color. A year or two ago, I had the box for one of these (it might have had the manual too, I forget), but it was the green version, and there was no GBC with it, just the box. But I had sold it due to needing money at the time. I forget what it was for, either to fund another purchase or to take a trip, whatever. I never really regretted that sale, as it was just a box, but at the same time I had always wanted to add one of these back into my collection.
I went to great pains to get this one, hahaha. There is a huge story to tell, but that is only shared with my closest friends. Anyway, the GBC works, it is complete, numbers match between the machine and the manual :) All is original, came from the original owner.
Interestingly enough, I know of somewhere else that has one of these (different model though) and I think I have a 50:50 of being able to snag it. Will investigate further, maybe even tomorrow, as I would love it to my collection as well. Actually I'd love to collect all the Taiwan version GBCs, but that is a pipe dream of sorts, I think, given the rarity.

I'll gladly share the story, but I can't share it publicly, sadly. I'll PM it to you later though, and anyone else curious about knowing, just PM me and I'll also share. It is not too exciting, lol, but alas I can't post it on here.

I got a few more nice pieces, though I can't post pictures for now as my main computer isn't working (again...this time I am waiting for a new power supply).
But I got another Taiwanese Famicom (again, sadly not boxed), and someone had AV modified it. Sort of a shame to see it not factory standard, but I'll probably use it as one of my main machines. it even had the Taiwan-version power supply.
Then I also got a few unlicensed Sega games of non interest, and a FDS cartridge port of Castlevania. For the longest time I didn't think this actually existed, but I finally found it. It is definitely one of the rarer ones. Now I only need maybe two or three more carts until I have all of those.

A year ago bought Famicom with Disk system and adapters AND 15 disk games/10 cartridge games (Including gun smoke and Super mario bros) for $10. TEN. DOLLARS. They were an older couple of 50 or so and I'm a teenager so they said hey, special price for you. You will enjoy more than other people might. And they were right. Had to replace the belt on the disk system for $5 (and new RF cord for $10), but $25 for the complete system and quality games? Score! Anyone else had an experience like that?

Even a disk system with a broken belt goes for much more than $10, let alone a working Famicom. Where there any complete games with manual and/or box?
I've made deals sometimes. Some years ago I found a loose Super Famicom Super Scope (sight and sensor included) in a $1 bargain box. It was sold as untested with no guarantee but since it was so cheap and in pretty good shape I bought it. It worked flawlessly!

I'm really curious about this one:

Apparently this was sold in stores here, under the counter. I assume it is emulators and roms.v

I also really like this Famiclone, as the controllers remind me a lot of the NES.

I'm really curious about this one:

Apparently this was sold in stores here, under the counter. I assume it is emulators and roms.v

Got this the other day as part of a lot. People like to throw the word "rare" around frequently, but this does seem genuinely rare. Feels good to cross it off the list.

Just like the karaoke upgrade carts for other Famicom karaoke machines, yes this one is harder to find. Nice find! With that said, I am honestly on the fence about counting this one as part of a Famicom "full set". I tried the two Karaoke upgrade carts on emulators, and it reminds me exactly the same as the situation with the Nantatte!! Baseball: Kogame Cassette carts. Just a minor upgrade, not really sure if that can constitute a required title or not. But it's still a nice piece anyway. :)

It's kind of like physical DLC, isn't it? The base Karaoke Studio game should count no matter what, though, since you just plug it into the Famicom like any other cart (even though it's shaped differently).
But if you don't count those Top Hit carts and the baseball carts, then I think you have to seriously consider whether or not the Datach carts should count as well. Since they they require an accessory and don't plug directly into the system either. I guess it's better just to own everything to be safe, huh.

While I respect your opinion, I feel that the Datach carts are more comparable to the Aladdin Deck Enhancer carts, since they are actually different games. When trying out roms for the Karaoke Studio add-ons, and also personal experience with the Baseball carts, it is just a few more songs tacked on at the end of the original game's menu, or a few stat changes. It just doesn't seem much like a game at all, and if we include things like this for 20 extra songs tacked onto the end of an existing game's menu, then where do we draw the line? What about the Famicom network devices. Should they count? After all, one one of the versions, there is a software screen that pops up, which is probably a larger deal than the karaoke / baseball stuff.
Which brings us down to your last sentence, "I guess it's better just to own everything to be safe, huh". I personally feel this way. I am just asking you for some of your own opinions on this stuff, since I know that you are also trying to get a complete Famicom set (how is that goal coming btw, sadly your NA thread is never updated anymore) and some of your exclusions previously (Kung Fu, Tailor Made, Safety Rally) seem like (to me) to be a much larger omission than what could be considered as "Downloadable Content before downloads were a thing."
Then there is always Kiddy Sun, that bastard licensed Famicom game that wasn't really confirmed as to being licensed until recently.

Under $20 shipped for this. I don't have a keyboard so I can't actually play it, but still, pretty good. I did notice that when you turn the game on, there's a message about connecting the keyboard. I don't think anything like that pops up when you turn on the first game; it just doesn't work at all, right?

Yes only V3 actually prompts you to plug in the keyboard. Family BASIC just silently fails to boot and gives you a black screen to look at. One time I plugged in my keyboard via an extension cord, and my Family BASIC just displayed a black screen so I thought it was something wrong with it. Turned out it was just the extension cord that made the keyboard not work.
Anyway nice find! I'm jealous!

-Alien 3
-Pokémon 4-in-1 reprint with a silly logo of "Picac Lick" instead of "Picaclick"
-Some multicart with Mario hacks
-Another multicart with that Harry Potter game
Also one game is labeled "Supper Mario" in the menu, lol.

I don't think I'll be retiring my NESRGB-modded AV Famicom, though. Might keep them both on shelf, since they'll be hooked to different screens. At the very least I'll keep the AV FC as a backup...even if I still have my old PC10-RGB -modded system as a backup of that...

^^^ Nice Disk System finds! I really enjoy collecting the disk system disks, but I hate actually running them on real hardware, due to that machine being finicky.
Here are my finds of the weekend:

Edit: The Go Pikachu Go Color hack is an extra. I thought I needed that game, but when I got home, I discovered I already had it in the collection. I also am running the Ending Man Famiclone as part of my gaming set up at the moment, but I think I might have an extra if someone is interested in buying one of those. :)

Thanks I haven't had the joy of playing the disks yet as my system still is't here haha. I'm a nut though so even if it's a pain I'll probably love it.
That an awesome haul. What is the Go Pikachu Go? and What is that system? A Famiclone?

There has been a long absence of Famicom purchases so this small bundle of stuff gave me some good therapy. These were a local scoop and I am open to trade or part with them in the future. :blinky:
I was given a pleasant warning that the Mega Man II cart would "only work in China" because of the blue box on the label. hahaha :crazy:

The system is a Famiclone, yes.

Really nice on the CHN Mega Man 2. If you ever want to trade it for something I have in my sales thread, please let me know, as I'd be game.
One of my collecting regrets is selling the CIB (and also loose) CHN games I had. Actually I refuse to have collecting regrets, as most of the stuff I sold was sold to relieve funds so that I could add something else to my main Famicom collection. But there were some neat things that I had gotten rid of because of that, which I hope to add back someday.

And for good measure, some finds for the weekend. Originally I had wanted to go to another shop to grab a few other goodies (possibly some upgrades for my collection), but I felt sleepy and decided to take a nap instead, also didn't want to blow so much cash right after payday.
Just to run down through the games that I found for my collection this weekend:
(http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y419/fcgamer26/IMAG0811-2_zps28xxl1db.jpg) (http://s1273.photobucket.com/user/fcgamer26/media/IMAG0811-2_zps28xxl1db.jpg.html)
-Dinosaur Land - This is Ocean's Jurassic Park, has full copyrights intact, no glitching of the logo or anything either.
-42 in 1 - Old multicart, large-style cart
-Wagan - bootleg of the Famicom game
-Golgo 13 (part 1) - bootleg of the Famicom game
-Ninja Cop Saizo - bootleg of the Famicom game
-102 in 1 - NTDEC copyrights, Powerful 102 in 1
-Wizardry - bootleg of the Famicom game, Whirlwind Manu version
-7 in 1 - boxed Sega Mega Drive multicart
(okay, Wagan, Golgo 13, and Ninja Cop Saizo are not present in the above picture, as I forgot to include them originally. Took a new picture and sent it to my email, it has been too slow in arriving).
The larger and larger the collection becomes, the harder it is to find something you actually are interested in keeping for the collection.
With these items, it is great to add another Whirlwind Manu cart to the collection, as well as a few more Famicom bootlegs (sometimes the bootleg versions are harder to find than the real deal, and I say that after having probably 300 - 400 bootleg Famicom carts.
The boxed Sega cart, normally I don't seriously collect Sega, but (anything) boxed and bootleg is getting harder and harder to find, so I pulled this one out and decided to keep it as an example specimin. I hope to determine within the next year or so whether I actually can make my idea of a game museum viable or not, and if so, then things like the Sega 7 in 1 will stay. If not, then non Famicom / Game Boy stuff will probably get dumped from my collection. :)

Not sure if I will sell it or keep it, maybe I can get 20 of these to go along with the Kung Fu carts have

Not Famicom but I found a SF Memory Cart with Sutte Hakkun on it, for only about $70!
It also had the caravan shooting collection containing Star Force, Star Soldier and Hector '87, but I don't like shooters so that's a "eh" for me.

That's a good find, and the Caravan Shooting Collection is also quite a desired game...
That's one of the great things about buying used SFC NP carts IMO - I picked up one that had Rockman X and Demon's Crest on to my surprise, both with the little stickers too!
Another one had the download version of Mother 2 and Wrecking Crew which aren't as desirable but welcome surprises :)

I'm now over 800 games for the Famicom, slowly working towards that loose cart set.

Anpanman, not Paaman. ;D Like Joe said, it's the second Oeka Kids game that uses the tablet. Seems to be harder to find than the first one.
Have you actually used the tablet? From what I saw of the other game, it was kind of like Mario Paint.

I didn't ever use my tablet - I found a new old stock one and wanted to keep it pristine. I saw one other for sale after that, but I passed. From videos it looks like the kind of thing I'd muck about with once then never again haha.

That's what I did with mine. It works pretty well, but you have to press down very hard on the tablet for it to register.

I found this one recently, quite by accident actually:
(http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y419/fcgamer26/IMAG1201_zpsnvhtipyx.jpg) (http://s1273.photobucket.com/user/fcgamer26/media/IMAG1201_zpsnvhtipyx.jpg.html)
I find this cartridge very cool, for many reasons. This is a bootleg version (not repro, mind you), which had been manufactured most likely in the mid 1990s. You can see the fake game rating on the cart, and also the pirates tried to make the game look like a Super Nintendo release (not Super Famicom), even has a "Made in Mexico" written on the bottom left.
Ironically enough, I had just watched a video on this game, courtesy of Protoman, I recommend checking it out if you haven't already:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MXpAMo5Wng
I didn't even make the connection that the game I picked up was the same as the one I had just heard about on Protoman's channel, until I got it home and did some research.

Just received this one today.
(http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y419/fcgamer26/IMAG1393_zpsejpcofxc.jpg) (http://s1273.photobucket.com/user/fcgamer26/media/IMAG1393_zpsejpcofxc.jpg.html)
I already had the Idea Tek original release, but I had never seen the Micro Genius re-release for sale anywhere, the the last five or six years, putting it as one of the 40 or so unlicensed games that I am still trying to find.
I stumbled upon F15 City War Micro Genius version online, but it was only available to local people. I tried to use my savvy Chinese skills to obtain the cartridge, but I ultimately failed, due to bureaucratic bullshit. So I had to invoke the help of my girlfriend. I am not sure her relationship to games; it is obvious that she has some familiarity with them (she kicked my ass at many fighters we had played, also did quite well with Mario, knowing many of the secrets, knows and likes Rockman, etc), but when I first met her, she told me she thought games were a waste of time. I think she doesn't care about them on the same level as I or anyone else on here does, but at the same time enjoys them more than she wants to admit. Either way, I asked her for help and she ordered the game for me, then asked me if I wanted to buy any others, almost forcing me to purchase a few more to save on shipping costs. So I picked out one other Famicom cartridge, and she ordered the pair.
Fast forward to mid-last week; she messaged me at lunch and told me that one of the games was out of stock. She tried to explain to me in English, but I felt confused, but luckily it seemed as though the Micro Genius cart was the one in stock. But I was wondering, but at the same time did not want to say too much or make a big deal of it either.
Finally on Friday the cart arrived to my gf, and then I received it today, happy that the F15 City War is the one that was in stock. :)

I didn't play any further than the title screen, but from that point, they are the same. I should give both of them a run later, along with the AVE prototype version I have.

Picked up these 3 on ebay for about $8 to treat myself for my birthday. The two black carts have all the same games but with different game select menus, one is an 80 in 1 and the other is an 8000 in 1 (with the games just repeating). One of the games on there was "The Jungle book" does anyone know if that was released on the Famicom/NES or is it back port? The yellow cart doesnt work :'(

The three Wonder Swans are official Taiwan versions.
With the Sega games, it was funny. I visited an old friend, and she had to literally remove a whole display of crap, stacked about six feet tall, revealing a glass cubbard behind it, with a box of Sega games inside. I knew about her secret stash of games, as I had bought from her on several occassions in the past. This time though, I could tell that it was a much larger hassle than in the past, as the display in front kept getting larger and larger, so quite difficult to move. So I bought anything of interest, as I hate to bother her anymore about the games, lol. The Sonic 2 is a pirate.

Nice change of pace to get cheaper eBay deals, and only a few days shipping. I saved this little lot of FC/SFC stuff, it's about half legit, half bootleg carts and getting Super Contra made the whole lot worthwhile to me.

Nah, it says "LITTLE MASTER", but I believe the soft is very much the same as ASDER PC-95.
Yes, it is Polish localization, but I can't remember if the soft has also been translated and I don't want to break it open to find out, you know 8)

Very nice find!
I remember a looong time ago, well maybe about two or three years ago, I had seen some of these selling on ebay, a BIN. I kept contemplating whether I wanted to purchase one or not, but the price would have been around $20 and then tack on another $15 - $20 for shipping to Taiwan, so I never did. I always regretted it since, as someone snapped them up, haven't seen them since then, until I saw yours. If you happen to find any more of these, please consider me, as I'll gladly buy one from you ;)
About the software contents: I literally spent the last two weeks going home after work, every day, examining the educational software carts I own, trying out the games / programs, and then documenting what could be found where, all for the good of the book I am writing. Aside from the dictionary programs, very few programs were actually localized, and they were all things like English Test and Instant Memory, games which had the express purpose of teaching the user English, via rote translation. Some of those games have Korean, Thai, and Arabic versions existing, some have Russian and Chinese versions, so the cart you have might have some Polish localizations, or possibly the dictionary.
Very nice find!

I find the dictionary type software really interesting. I have Thai - English and a Turkish - English dictionary carts if they sound unfamiliar and of interest for the book. Hope that's not considered too much of a derail.

Kind of looks like there is a label behind it. I could just be crazy.
The original game is the original game. The sticker or label was a prize that been won from Tokuma Soft. Once the game released they had competition and different type of stickers (Silver, gold, royal I think). Needed send in certain password occuring during stages. Not sure how many of silver existed but I think 2000 or something was awarded.
So is a reward sticker to put on top of the original label.

The day has finally come! I checked the blog a short time ago so glad to see a new post! ;D How long has it been since you last purchased something for the collection?
Was that the Exed Exes from a February eBay sale? I saw one in completed auctions and couldn't believe I missed my chance.

Yeah. I bought another $1 game with it that I didn't need, just to make it look less suspicious. 8) $6.77 shipped for those two carts.

Just found my old childhood prize of Punch Out :'( Is working but I not want to put any pressure to it, so I actually will have a repro done just so I can play the actual game without risk of wear and tear to my original. ;D

Thanks. For me a repro (as in totally new components, shell and no way to even tell is a PO-cartrdige) is better way than Everdrive/Flash device. I also have flash device but for me = taking away the physical factor of playing one game at time. With flash cartridge is like having 1000 channel on TV, can just zap to next one so repro or whatever want to call it is much better in regard as personal preference.
You bought that in Ebay ? I just come home Joshin and I pre-ordered 3 systems around 8.000円 :-[ (These I will save), but if someone interested in order other than Ebay, just send me a PM to arrange.

I'm actually looking for either gold disk version actually. I just finished purchasing items for my game collection (more information once they arrive) so I couldn't make an offer for it now.
I actually found some information about the different disks but it would take me hours to translate; it's small text but I didn't actually do more than just glance at the page and saw a white disks. It doesn't appear to be a whole lot of information but still interesting.

I have plans to get one more Famicom Box game (others if I happen to just find them passively) to complete my collection. Anyway, here is one more item! Famicom Disk System Clu Clu Land D (VS, welcome to the new, whatever the official name is given) Disk Writter version. Someone mailed it in to write over Ultraman (I don't blame them) with the game, which is just as obscenely rare. If someone wants to make an offer for it, I'm open. I've already gotten one for signed AVGN stuff and other items.

I totally love the Hong Kong versions' gold label better than the one given to the original Japanese Famicom.
I bought Esper Dream 2, Madara (compete with map and all papers, etc), Shin 4 Uchi Mahjong and Just Breed. I plan on finishing off the rest of the Namco games complete maybe next month.

It's the Bridgestone Modem - certainly not the only one in existence though as Anna has described there - we had one sell on here recently and you can find out more in this old thread:
https://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=13304.0
(by the way this should have gone in the 'what's this' or 'price check' threads but it's fine to leave here)
Also found this - it sold for 150 Euro last year. I imagine it's the same one going from the pictures and description. That seller also called it the only one in the world which we know is not true.

That's excellent. I don't even want to know how long it took you dig one of those up. Safe to assume it's no different than a regular Famicom, in the same way Charumera Zelda is identical aside from the label?

That's interesting, so the box doesn't say anything about Charumera but the system itself does. One would think they'd add a little sticker to the box at the very least.

Tsunami Super Mario just ended at my doorstep... at least I think from the looks of it - sand, mud, salt crystals...I was disgusted but also saddened. :'(
Gave it a bit of rough cleaning, and it's alive! It can still deliver many hours of fun! :mario:

I paid a little bit more than I wanted for this item. A "72-to-60-Pin Adapter Converter Play NES Games on Famicom Console" and it will work with my NES Retrovision Cartridge without issues. I've read that this is a high quality adapter and expansion audio can be soldered.
More importantly, I bought a Famicom Everdrive N8 Pro blue translucent cartridge for around 140 in excellent condition.

Managed to grab some items that I had been looking for a good while.
(https://ghegs.com/Files/XE-1ProFC.jpg)
Pizza Pop! was oddly difficult to find in decent condition and at an acceptable price.
I'm not a joystick player but the XE-1 Pro FC is just a fun and weird controller in general. You can adjust whether the stick is 8-way or 4-way and even the angle at which the A and B buttons are placed. And there's a cool Knight Rider-style red light thingy. The only disappointing thing about it is that the autofire's max. rate of fire is pretty low, making it not a good choice for shmups. 16-shot it most definitely is not.
The fact that the joystick came CIB with manual and even the registration paper wasn't planned or looked for, but I guess it makes it fit in nicely with the rest of the Famicom collection.

Very cool finds! ;D
The Everdrive N8 Pro is very interesting but at the moment the old Everdrive does almost everything I need it to so that will have to wait.
I've been looking for the DE-9 version of the XE-1 Pro for my MSX (and my PC-Engine if I buy or build the XHE-3 adapter) for a very long time, but it's just a bit too popular and expensive. I've decided to build my own universal arcade stick instead.
Getting this CIB is really cool though. :D Supposedly it has custom Seimitsu stick which is also used in the AES joystick.

It's been acostly good few months for NES/FC homebrews.
So glad I got my hands on F-Theta. And I'm surprised how addictive Honō no Rangerman is, it's just a really charming game, and I hadn't realized it has great potential for scoreplay. Really liking l'Abbaye des Morts as well, but that's originally a Locomalito title so it has a great pedigree.

I tried the Honoo no Rangerman demo and it was great. Good use of the APU too, it sounds like a Rockman game.

Is there a good place to get homebrew NES/FC ROMs as they come out? I know homebrew authors can be tightwads about releasing the ROM if they are trying to cash in with physical copies, so it falls on others to dump the carts they put out.

Enthusiasts generally avoid spreading the full version ROM for games that are still in business, but yeah they usually get dumped at some point. I think it's best to give it a chance to sell and wait with preserving it until many years later, or until the author decides to release the ROM to the public. Otherwise the homebrew business wouldn't work very well, considering building a cartridge is quite expensive even for a very simple game.
Some have limited releases though and are hard to buy. Others are put on badly engineered cartridge boards which can potentially damage both the Famicom and the cartridge itself.

That's my problem with the whole thing - business. Whatever happened to just making a game for the love of the hobby? Thanks to Kickstarter and the goobers of NA/VGS, everyone wants their paycheck now. They are more concerned with a profit than people playing their game. I really don't care about their business and if they are going into this on the pretext of making cash, they are doing it for the wrong reason.

I sound like someone who remembers when this was a hobby. You know, something people did for fun? And enjoyment? As opposed to needing a check every time they did anything?
How much did you pay for those 5 homebrews? You sound like someone who is getting defensive because you spent a lot on them.
And to answer your question, I wrote the SNES rarity list for Digital Press with D_N_G (check the printed guide, my name is on the foreword of the section). That list became the generally accepted SNES watermark and has influenced perceptions and values to this day. I did it completely free of charge. Because I, you know, love the hobby.

Good for you. If you want to do something for free, then that's your prerogative. If somebody else, who has put hundreds of hours into creating something, wants to charge something for it, then that's their prerogative. But here you are, asking for the roms, thinking these should be free despite the devs' own wishes on the subject:
You are not entitled to play games for free, if the games haven't been released for free. That is not your prerogative.
I believe in paying people for their creative work. If the devs of these homebrews decide to put the games up on a digital storefront, or even give them out for free, I'm perfectly fine with it and even encourage it. I don't buy games as an investment. I buy them because I like the games, I like my games physical, and I like to show my support for the devs if possible. Maybe it'll help them to make more cool stuff.
The other day I managed to grab a physical copy of From Below (http://www.frombelowgame.com/), fully knowing that I could've just downloaded the game, for free and completely legally, since the dev has made it available. And I'll be doing the same thing for his next game.
I do hope F-Theta's and GGGG's devs decide to release the games digitally as well, because otherwise not many people will get to experience them (they aren't exactly making it easy for people outside Japan to get their games, either). But if they don't...well, then they don't. That's life. We don't always get what we want. Eventually someone will dump the roms and the games will be preserved. But it should certainly not be done while the devs are still planning to make more physical copies. That's just utterly rude and disrespectful to them, the games they've worked hard to create, and to the hobby in general.

Pot kettle black right there.
Maybe you should read this. This is literally what happened to the classic and game collecting community.
https://meaningness.com/geeks-mops-sociopaths
Specifically relevant to the discussion at hand, from the article:
QuoteThe sociopaths also work out how to monetize mops--which the fanatics were never good at.
Pushing homebrews on carts is literally monetizing the hobby and monetizing fans who would otherwise spend their money elsewhere on the hobby. The sociopaths on NintendoAge figured this out and figured it out well (that Khan dingus and bunnyboy are patient(s) zero). Add a splash of Kickstarter and now every last person coding a homebrew wants their cut. Do you think Memblers wanted royalties for Hot Seat Harry? Fuck no. He did it for the love of the hobby. The ironic part is, his Garage Cart, which is pretty much the first homebrew put on cart, and all the ROMs were freely available, is now worth thousands... because of the same NA sociopaths who created this monetization.
You also didn't answer how much you paid for those 5 homebrews.

Excellent pivot, when I came out and said I had contributed to the community for free, which you weren't expecting, this is your backpedaling. If it's any consolation, I ate losses on having Airball, Star Trek 5 and AGCI Wally Bear dumped. Didn't care. Games are out there. They can be played by anyone who wants to with no barriers to the experience. That's what matters.

You seem to bring in things that are largely unrelated to my point (you helped dumped old games? Thank you for your service, not relevant here).
Here's what my point boils down to: If a creator creates a thing, whether it's a game, a story, music, poem, a painting, absolutely whatever - it is up to them alone to decide whether they want to charge money for it, and how much if so. It's then up to the people to decide whether the creation is worthy of the asking price (assuming it has a price), and buy it if they agree with the price, or not buy if they don't. "Everything should be available for free for the sake of the hobby" is a blanket statement I simply don't agree with.
I am under no obligation to tell you how much money I spent on those games. It's irrelevant anyway, since like I said, I'm perfectly fine with it if the devs release their games for free (which you ignored completely), they can do whatever they want with the products they create. Again, that's been my point this whole time. THEY decide how much money to charge for the things they create, if at all.
You also didn't comment on you asking for the roms of recently-released homebrew games, when the dev hasn't released them for free distribution, at least as of this moment. Do you honestly think that's fair to the creator? If you simply think they should've released the game for free to begin with, you're certainly allowed to have that opinion. But they didn't, and you don't get to make the decision for them.

There are many people making homebrew for free and for the love of the hobby, but games that are made to be sold for a profit are naturally developed into completion much more often, and tends to be larger and more polished than the freeware.
It kind of sounds like you are making light of other people's time when you criticize creators selling their work.
I personally think it's mostly good that the hobby has become large enough that selling your homebrew has become possible.

Out of those five, it's the weakest of the bunch, I think. It's not bad, but I'd be hard-pressed to call it good, either.
It certainly looks good and the main character has some awesome animation, but the gameplay isn't anything special. I've never actually played any of the original versions so I can't compare it to them. It's a very basic action platformer (which turns into a shmup in some stages) and it's difficult, but not entirely in a fun way. Memorization is also heavily rewarded. I think on my first try it took me ~40 minutes to reach the first shmup area, which should take less than 10 if you never have to continue. You can certainly tell it's originally a European-made game from the 90's.
Even small enemies take a lot of hits, and the best way to deal with them is with the charged shot and hitting them as soon as they come on the screen. The thing is, you can't walk while charging the shot, like in Mega Man. But you can jump and move while charging. So most of the time the best tactic is to bunnyhop your way forward while having a charged shot ready to go. And that's kind of silly.
On a different note, I got my From Below:

DANGIT.
(https://ghegs.com/Files/FamicomTurboFile2.jpg)
My plans for Wizardry (https://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=15336.0) have been hit with a setback. I bought the Turbo File II with the thought that I could have one save bank dedicated to each of the Wizardry games and even have one extra for Castle Excellent or whatever, but to my disappointment the device does not work the with Analogue NT Mini. I tested it with an AV Famicom and it works fine there, so the Turbo File II itself is not to blame. Not the first time I've happened upon a peripheral that isn't compatible with the Analogue NT Mini, I'm sad to say.
Why this is a setback is that my current gaming setup is so that it's much more convenient for me to play my HDMI systems as opposed to those using my CRTs. It would also have provided me with a spot for a notebook where to draw the games' maps. When using the AV Famicom I don't have that, so I'd have to get a separate small table or one of those lap desks to have a solid surface to get my cartography on.
I may have to ruminate on this a bit.

That's a bummer. I'd prefer to play it on original hardware and a CRT though.
Nice find anyway. I've always wanted a Turbo File II. I only have the TFTwin for SFC but I never got it to work, possibly due to corroded battery contacts from leaking batteries of a previous owner.
