Those look familiar

I finally got a copy of Battle Formula for my collection:

Been looking for that for the longest time.

Congratulations!  Such a powerhouse that game and a real treat to find, heck to even know that you found it!

King's Knight looks good too.

As for me, I picked up another one of these gems:

Another one, LET? How many Famicom light guns do you have?

[L___E___T]

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.

nice wild gunman set,,,i have to ask where did you get it?

[L___E___T]

I got it from FeatherPluck - he's a regular stand up guy!

Ah King's Knight... fond memories playing that with cousins back in the 80s. Didn't know who the heck was square back then.

@senseiman Congrats on Battle Formula! Especially for finding one in that condition at that incredible price! I agree the cover art is really cool. You don't see that style anymore....

@ 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?   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.

[L___E___T]

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.

Clu Clu Land: Welcome to New Cluclu Land

Hmm the super-rare game?
Always wondered about this because it must be so easy to make a replica.

[wholesalewatch648]

as much as i love my wild gunman set, i too would never take it out of the box. it is by far my favorite part of my collection.

[L___E___T]

I should find out more about New CluClu Land, I don't have anything to say just cause I'm not familiar with it.

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.
