15/07/2013 30th FAMICOM anniversary

[Magicantian]

Tomorrow is the big day! I'll have to remember to play a little Famicom for sure. (I actually haven't in a couple of weeks now... I've been obsessed with Wario's Woods on my NES.)

I hope I can find the time to play, I start my new job tomorrow.

17. Ducktales 2

I'm going to (hopefully) be tackling this game this summer!

Nice, I'd highly recommend it. Even though I still prefer the original Ducktales, the additional features of the second one are pretty neat.

I'm beginning to think my 30-game-completion Famicom anniversary celebration was just a little bit impracticable... I doubt I'll be successful, but I'm going to try my best anyway.

Happy 30th, Famicom

Man, I should have taken the day off to play video games all day.

The Famicom is quite possibly my favorite system, and it's only a year younger than I am. I had an NES when I was a kid, but that got sold and I went to game solely on PCs for a good ten years before expanding the hobby back to consoles once more with a PS2.

Then, some years ago, I happened to see a complete copy of Summer Carnival '92: Recca on eBay. Being the fan of shmups that I am, I decided I wanted to have it, even though it was quite expensive. So bought it I did, and since I don't believe in just collecting games, I acquired an AV Famicom to play it on. Since then I have bought around 80 CIB Famicom games, an RGB-modded AV Famicom, some custom carts and homebrews and things like that. I've bought a few of the games I had as a child, but mostly games that were unknown to me before and/or titles that had never left Japan. And I still seem to buy a "new" game or two for it every month.

What a great system. So much I could talk about.

Here's to you, Famicom. I hope I'll still be playing you after another 30 years. I put in Super Mario Bros. in your honor today.

(On that note, wasn't there a continue option in NES SMB or do my memories fail me? There doesn't seem to be any continues in the JP version...)

Hurray 30 years of Famicom. I still play ya all the time, and I continue my Minus Infinity development.

Yeah, Happy 30th Anniversary, Famicom! I celebrated by taking the day off, and playing through a select list of favorites! Gun Nac, Galaga, Rockman, the list goes on, really. Alcohol and other substances not pictured

Might that be Pappa John's pizza?

Good eye. Was it the peperoncini that gave it away?

The Pizza Pop pizza... is the pizza... for you and me!

Well I failed my challenge. Got down 21 games then fell asleep. Damn it all.

Happy Birthday in arrears Famicom!!

I was in Japan but I saw no celebration of it.

The latest issue of Famitsu has a special on the Famicom, but it's nothing groundbreaking.
Apart from that there's really not much going on. What a shame.
