who has them all?

[lingolingo]

Does anybody have all the famicom games (without counting gold carts or special editions)?

[nintendodork]

I assume you also mean excluding pirates.  In which case, no one here on this board does.

[lingolingo]

No one? why not? whats the deal, the famicom games are not very expensive, and neither difficult to find. I thought that with so many collectors here, there must be somebody with almost all.

[lingolingo]

I will get all the carts

There are a couple of rarities that keep it from being an easy task.  Good luck finding a cheap Recca, for instance.  Also, shipping costs are a big issue with FC collectors outside of Japan.

WHAT IS RECCA?

[UglyJoe]

Summer Carnival '92: Recca was a game used in a competition (although it was available for sale).  It's a pretty crazy shmup, especially considering the FC's hardware limitations.

true, but Im making the collection without boxes so is not so expensive or difficult to find.  Great I heard about Recca. But anyway, when I will get them all I will let you know !  

And the guy from the photos is ADOL, a french guy that has super famicom, pc engine and a lot more collections 100% completed. WHAT A BEAST!

mod edit: don't double post, please!

Even without boxes, you'll still have a bit of difficulty finding at least few, and Recca loose is still like $100 I think.


Plus, it's not complete until you get all the special editions and gold games.  And since there are only 4 (?) gold Rockman 4s in the world, you're gonna have to drop some serious cash for it.

I am currently in the process of collecting all the Famicom carts (loose, and not including pirates).

At the moment I have 373 different carts, which is a little more than 1/3 of the total.  I don't have any of the particularly rare carts yet, nothing that retails for more than 3 - 4,000 yen or so per cart.

It has taken me a little over a year to get to this point.  I'm hoping to have them all (or at least almost all) within the next 3 years.

I'm keeping a blog of my collection, I'll try to put a picture of the whole 373 up sometime soon (along with updates on my progress, since I passed the 300 mark I've been slowing down quite a bit):

Well I think that if you have the average rockman 4 you dont need to own the gold cart because is the same game basically. I would only say that Recca would be the only one that would be a pain in the ass to get.

Recca is only a pain in the a** if you want it cheap. For the right price you don't have to search long, it's readily available on several internet shops.

I also played with the thought of getting all, but that would mean I'd get at least 600 games I don't like and most likely wouldn't play, so that would be a great waste.

[nensondubois]

I'm working on collecting games with sound expansion first and so far I have 68 percent of them (not including disks).

Just saying if you want a complete collection, you'll have to hunt it down.  I agree that if you're not going to spend money on special carts, there's no reason to pay for all those shitty baseball and mahjong games.

HAHAHA true my friend! but those are the ones I bought the first!!! The horrible majhong and baseball games!!!
