Faria (NES) box contents

[hydlide]

Hello! I was wondering if anyone here has a complete copy of Faria for the NES, and if so, could you list the contents of the box?

I have a copy that includes:

Box
Cartridge
Manual
NEXOFT 8x11 advertisement poster
Nintendo Power advertisement card
Registration card

..but I swear that I had another 8x11 poster with the game name and other graphics at some point. Does anyone have that?

Also, should I have posted this in the collector's guides forum?

i have no idea.

Considering that is one of the rarer NES games, and unbelievably rare to find just the box, yet alone a complete game, good luck trying to find that out.

PS. As luck would have it, there is a "single" complete copy on ebay right now(pretty decent price too may I add, if I had the extra money, I would've probally bought that): http://cgi.ebay.com/FARIA-Complete-In-Box-NES-Nintendo-Game-SUPER-RARE_W0QQitemZ260479619480QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVideo _Games_Games?hash=item3ca5cb9198

It's hard to tell if it has a map or not, due to how he has everything layed out, so if I were you I would email him, and ask if the game has a map(it appears to have a special insert with a listed print on it(it could be a map key, for all I know), so there might be a map on the other side.

PS. I hate Hydlide so much, Faria was awesome though.

The map was mail order. Although very desired and very expensive, it was mail away and not part of a CIB copy.

The "map" in the Pedro auction is the manual missing its cover.

There is a poster that comes with it, yes.

Ah ok(the way he displayed it, made it look like something else).

Omg, I so want the map then, but seeing how a CIB is pretty unheard of, as is, the odds of finding a map(let alone one in very good condition) is probally basically impossible.

Yeah, the map as Dave said isn't part of a CIB copy. I had to pay $175 for my minty map from Justabum. Good luck finding one as they come up about once or twice in a GOOD YEAR.

Wow, he had a mint one, would he have any extras?

I know about the mail-order map. But what is on the poster? Is it just the NEXOFT advertisement or is there actually another poster with the artwork from the game box?

I agree with both statements. I like the word "Hydlide", though. Plus, it's hardly ever taken as a username.

You'll probably end up spending $250 on it. Imagine all the copies of Shiren you could buy!

I've never seen the poster but it is likely the Nexoft one you have.

Hydlide 3 is a different story. And I have a soft spot for Virtual Hydlide. ;)

I got my CIB copy of Faria for about $20 less than that, and it's in much better condition. Just have patience and keep looking if you're actually serious about wanting this game CIB.

[portnoyd]

Yeah, you also have to remember that all fixed price auctions are overpriced anywhere from 50% to 75% more than what they'd go for at open auction. This auction is no exception.

Should I conclude, then, that there was never any poster featuring game artwork included with this game?
