I have 10 famicom games that i picked up at a goodwill store a while ago and I'm wondering how much they are worth.

Here are pictures:

Rockman 2/Salamander
Rolling Thunder/Dragon Ninja
SMB3/31 in 1

they are all in good condition, except SMB3 has tape all over it (I don't know why, it came like that, and I don't want to find out) and has a rip on the top of the label.

Daimashikyou Galious/Chou-Wakusei Senki Metafight
Mad City

Chou-Wakusei Senki Metafight cart is in good condition, but the box is in bad condition. Daimashikyou Galious box is in okay condition, and the cart is in good condition. Mad City Box is in good condition and the cart is in good condition. None have manuals.

Fudou Myouou Den Cart is in good condition, box is in great condition, and has manual. Big rip through manual.

Thanks.

Not much. You might get $5-10 for the boxed games and $1-15 for the carts. That multicart is common, but multicarts sell well. Dragon Ninja's a pirate; the rest look original. Dragon Ninja won't get you but a $1 or 2. SMB3, in that condition, might go for $3-4; Rockman will get about $5-8, and Salamander, while rare, might not do that well, at about $3-6. I can't say for sure, tho. Mostly a guess. Markets are strange.

rolling thunder is also a pirate. still maze of galius ,blaster master, madcity and demon sword are great games to have, all of them are differnt then the us releases in major ways (galius wasn't a us release) mad city is a playable verison of bayou billy before they fucked it up in localization.

Didn't I read in Retro Gamer that Konami used to cut out lots of stuff out of US released NES games? It was a cost saving measure since US games had to be manufactured by Nintendo, whereas the Asian games were done by Konami themselves. So they cut stuff out to make the ROM smaller to save money. There's supposedly more animation, cutscenes, and other things in the Japanese versions. You might want to keep those instead of trying to flip them on eBay. Hell, I'd keep that Salamander just for the cool case!

... I thought Mad City was an FDS-only game. O_o Guess I was wrong!

I'm pretty sure that Rolling Thunder is legit.

Dragon Ninja(I'm 80% sure your copy is a pirate) is the Famicom version of Bad Dudes. I didn't notice much difference when I played thru it but it was still fun. As for Salamander(the Famicom version of Life Force), it's suppose to have 4 different endings. Because I've only beaten my copy once I didn't get to see the extra endings.

I concur. Don't tell me I have to buy it from him to prove it's legit like last time (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=79973). ;)

At first I thought the Rolling Thunder was a pirate because at the top left corner it said Namcot, and I thought that it said that because they couldn't put namco for copyright reasons. But I researched it and it turned out that that was the correct name in japan for famicom games. So I think it is not a pirate, but I could be wrong.

It's not, it's a legit copy of Rolling Thunder. The only bootlegs you have in that lot are Dragon Ninja and the 31 in 1 multicart of course. If you are planning on selling any or all, please let me know.
