List of Disk Writer releases

[JC]

Yes, there were yellow NES carts inside DW's. The carts held the games that were written. But it's unlikely those games/carts would work on anything other than a DW. As for rarity...they're not just rare, they're nonexistent, as far as we know, since Nintendo kept a close eye on its DW's and collected all of them when they shut down their writing service.

"Wrecking Crew" was a DW exclusive.

I remember seeing one of those yellow carts on eBay a long while back, and it went for a Lot of money (just like the SNES PlayStation controller on eBay ).

I wish there was a device that converted cartridges to FDS disks for use with game doctors

It is funny that is says that these games are DW games. I do have them CIB. So how come then the book says differently? Maybe the list is not DW exclusive, but some came out CIB in stores?

These I have as CIB at home:
SD Gundam World Gachapon Senshi Scramble Wars Map Collection
Twinbee

So which FDS games are CIB and which one are with only disk, plastic cover and stickers and original print out manual from Nintendo when send in the game?

The second list in this thread (from ckenda1) is accurate. If you have one of those that makes it look like a normal retail release, it's a reproduction. There are an absolute ton of homemade FDS games out there; it's very difficult to discern bootleg from real due to the nature of how Nintendo released FDS titles.

Also since you got a stapled manual with some of them (I think I read Zelda got that at some point?), DW releases may sometimes be similar to retail releases.

This one confused me and I couldn't find it by searching. The two "L"s should actually be "I"s as a roman numeral for "2", the full title is "Kineko II: Kinetic Connection: The Monitor Puzzle".
