More Famicom Anniversary Madness

[IntvGene]

Since the utter craziness of the Famicom anniversary recently, I've serisously given some thought to naming my first born, Famicom Boy and selling him on the net.

But, Video Fenky (http://www.video-fenky.com/) has some news that the Game Sound Mueseum (Famicom edition) is coming out. Released by an outfit called MegaHouse, this music collection is a series of 8-cm-wide CDs that are packed with a piece of candy and cost a whopping 300 yen each. Here are the games in the 20-piece set:

Balloon Fight
Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong Jr.
Gyromite/Stack-Up
Ice Climber
Kid Icarus
The Legend of Zelda
Light Gun games (Wild Gunman/Duck Hunt/Hogan's Alley)
Metroid
Nazo no Murasame-jou
Shin Onigashima part 1
Shin Onigashima part 2
Sports Series (Baseball/Tennis/Golf/Ice Hockey)
Super Mario Bros.
Wrecking Crew

The remaining five titles are officially a secret -- you'll have to discover them yourselves when you open up a pack. The series is set to hit stores in late March. Keep in mind that much like trading cards, there's one title per CD, one CD per piece, and you can't tell what CD you're getting on the outside, so the idea here is to trade with your friends to get a full set.

That sounded cool until the trading card part which means you have to really invest to get the full set.

If you don't care about the trading cards, just get 'em for the music CDs.

Nazo no Murasame Joh! :D

Pretty pointless these days, since as Fenky pointed out you can play the original game music through Winamp ( NSF format ). With the proper know-how one could make CD-Rs for their car player.

with teh romz?

[Bratwurst]

Sorta. NSFs are the audio information extracted from the roms, been around for a while now. My absolute favorite at the moment is the HES format, TG-16/PC Engine music.

[Bratwurst]

I don't know if you're being entirely sarcastic or not. :D
