[JC]

Plus 200+ Famicom cassettes

Haha. I want a list, damnit!

[Toneman]

Could be picking up a Yobo sometime next month. May not be the real thing, but as long as I get to hear the music on Akumajou Densetsu and Lagrange Point, it's not too big of a deal.

[JC]

  Oh, that's too good. Thanks for the list! Someday soon I'll post a complete list of things I own, which has got to be nearing 200 carts, if not more.

[Profeta Yoshitake]

You've got everything I've & more!
Wait, do you have Space Invaders? And Galaxian.  Galaxian, too.

No!! I'm just a young padawan!
May the force help me finding at least Galaga and Galaxian!!

[vealchop]

I actually counted the number of Famicom carts that Profeta Yoshitake has on that list and it's 189! And he writes that it's an almost-complete list, so he probably has more. That's a lot of Famicom carts.

Here are the Famicom things that I will own very soon. I don't think I'll own any Famicom carts since I have to start a new collection from there. But I am proud of my Famicom Disk collection. So I'll stop there. I ordered all the games and systems from Ebay. Some of the items haven't arrived to my doorstep yet as I write this, but hopefully they will arrive soon since it's been taking forever. Out of all the things I have here, I paid the most for the Family Computer since it's kinda hard to find a new one these days. I got my brand new Family Computer for $300 US without shipping, but it's in perfect condition, even the box and the styrofoam are pristine, and includes everything.

Here's the list:

Hardware: Original Family Computer, Famicom Disk System

Disk software:

The Hyrule Fantasy: Zelda no Densetsu (aka The Legend of Zelda)
Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan)
Nazo no Murasamejou
Super Mario Bros.
Metroid
Hikari Shinwa: Palutena no Kagame (aka Kid Icarus)
The Legend of Zelda 2: Link no Bouken
Shin Onigashima (Zenpen + Kouhen)
Famicom Tantei Kurabu: Kieta Koukeisha (Zenpen + Kouhen)
Famicom Tanei Kurabu II: Ushiro ni Tatsu Shoujo (Zenpen + Kouhen)
Akumajou Dracula (aka Castlevania)
SD Gundam World: Scramble Wars

Book: Family Computer 1983-1994 (what a great reference book!)

Please note that I have all the games and systems brand new and I don't plan to open them. I purchased for collection display and to review all the great games that were released on the Disk System.

[JC]

Welcome! And cool stuff!!! Damn you must be loaded paying $300 for a CIB Famicom! Neat to have stuff in such great condition, though. If I had more money, I might consider paying good money for a pristine one. Mine's not bad...but it's got its dinks and scratches.

Oh, and Yoshitake may just have the most Famicom games of any of us. I still have yet to count all the carts my collection -- and I've got some dupes. It's sometimes hard to make the jump into a new area of collecting. I'm hesitating to get into FDS.

[Doc]

Welcome.

[k_chan42]

Thanks for all the welcome! I will continue posting here if I have stuff to say or find something interesting. The Famicom is awesome. Yeah, I saved up a lot of money from my allowance so I could afford to buy a brand new boxed Famicom for $300. I always wanted a Famicom for a while coz I think it looks so cool. I love the maroon and white combination. In my opinion, it looks a lot better than the NES. They easily sell a CIB Famicom in such a condition on Ebay for over $400 or even $500. I saw one sold for $525 Buy It Now on Ebay. I offered the seller $300 and he declined and I later offered the same amount for another seller from Hong Kong (toysonlinehk) and he accepted it. So that's how I got the brand new Famicom for $300. I am glad the guy before didn't accept my offer coz the condition of his brand new boxed Famicom looked worse. The styrofoam was coming off a tiny bit and the box isn't as perfect (still excellent though). But the one i bought is pretty much perfect, which is always nice.

And the perfect condition CIB Famicom that I got was originally $449.99 if I used Buy It Now!! So I actually saved $149.99. At first I thought he wouldn't accept my offer, but he did.

Hahaha. Yes! Another vote for the Famicom's design over the NES's design!

It's sometimes hard to make the jump into a new area of collecting. I'm hesitating to get into FDS.

Yes, I agree. But I am curious as to why you are hesitating to get into FDS. I've known about the FDS for quite a while now and I think it's a great system with all the great, classic games that I listed earlier today.

For me, I think my FDS collection already represents some of the greatest for both the Famicom and the FDS. I don't want to start collecting Famicom carts since I know I'll be spending too much time and money searching and buying new ones. There are just way too many Famicom carts that are considered classics. So I can potentially be spending hundreds of dollars which I already did with the FDS games. And I don't like to get video games that are cart only even though it's a lot cheaper. So I am very happy with my FDS collection and my other video game collections.

[JC]

Well, the reason is simply: the lack of reliability of FDS disks. They tend to de-magnetize, or whatever you call it. I would hate to buy them only to have them stop working in a few years or not working to begin with. But then, I buy to play the games, not just to put them on a shelf. Don't get me wrong; I've considered collecting CIB for the sake of owning gaming history, but I haven't yet made that jump either. I own only one CIB Famicom game and I didn't buy it for the box.

You're right about there being so many carts out there. (I'll have an count of all known carts and disks very soon.) FDS is easy because there's only about 200, give maybe 50, if you include unlicensed. What I respect is that you are searching out the best -- the classics -- and not just any old game. I don't see the point in buying games that you don't like to play. But that's just me. With Famicom it's hard, however, because there are a bunch of games out there that no one in the U.S. really knows about...so you've got no choice but to buy lots just to test them all out. That's what I've been doing.

Money is always an issue. Most of us don't have hundreds of dollars stashed away or are pulling enough from our jobs to go out and buy all this stuff CIB. It's tough, especially when you're buying goods that have to be imported from across the widest ocean in the world. You do what you can, I guess.
