I have a regular Fami Disk System.

I love that it has lots of neat exclusives that never made it to the Fami or NES ...

I need to get my hands on the Lupin game (even though its pretty crappy).

I STRONGLY reccomend the Konami title Arumana's Miracle, it's like Castlevania crossed with Rock N' Rope and Indiana Jones. Great stuff. I think it's the studio that did Goonies II, it shares a lot of sound effects.

[Arasoi]

Agreed, Arumana no Kiseki is an awesome game. Its on my list along with Guevara and Hitler no Fukkatsu. I have to have games with Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, and Hitler in them, can any other console boast that?

The Lupin game IMO is actually pretty fun, the controls arent perfect but I enjoyed it quite a bit. Its a lot like Rolling Thunder gameplay wise, I actually like it a lot better than the SNES one I saw.

An underrated game that I got is Youkai Club. Its sort of a simple Castlevania clone, the controls are a little sticky but its good for its time. Holy Diver is another good Castlevania type, its sort of like a mix between Metroid and Castlevania 1.

Tupin, thats my favorite part of Ai Senshi too Its a pretty good game too besides that, it plays a lot like Blaster Master's top down scenes.

Yeah, it does like pretty cool, I'll look into it and the Lupin game.

Ryan,

I am glad you are enjoying the system. It indeed is one of the greatest import systems ever.

If anyone else is interested in the Famicom and Disk System, head on over to my store at http://www.famicomshop.com/

Currently I have a ton of games for FC/FDS, handbills, and a few systems (AV Famicom, Red Twin Famicom, etc).

I'll have two more Twin Famicoms next week as well.

Thanks,
Carl

Just curious, how much would a loose normal Disk System sell for on your site?

Congrats Arasoi i'm a fami owner myself i just have a famicom av+fds.Have fun with the,sharp twin famicom that is a good model there.I been thinking later in the year i'll get one for backup use.Thanks to the latest episode of famicom dojo that covers it has me interested http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFXlL-7uyQs

Btw (Carl Kendall) is good on deals for famicom games etc i agree with that arasoi.

I've bought a couple of games from him so far and it has turn out realy good thumbs up.

[InsaneDavid]

I have a Twin Famicom AN-505-BK (black and green with the turbo controllers) and I love the machine. It was one of my grail systems and the day I was in the right place at the right time on eBay to snag one for about $100.00 shipped was the peak of my finds last year. (and that was the same year I found a boxed complete HeartBeat Personal Trainer + Outback Joey for $20.00 )

Nazo no Murasamejou is probably my favorite FDS game I own. It's simple yet gets damn hectic in the later stages. Getsufuu Maden and Quarth are some cheap Famicom cartridges that are worth checking out. The former playing like an early Castlevania game and the later a puzzle game I far prefer over the Game Boy version.

[Tupin]

Haven't had the fortune to own a Twin Famicom, but that is very cool. I'm actually considering buying a regular Disk System, and you just gave me some good ideas for games.

"OH! MYGOD"

[PresidentLeever]

Well it sure ain't pretty, but as long as it works I guess!

Ai Senshi Nicol

Is this one any good?

[ckendal]

Extremely good. That is one of my favorite FDS games.

I have a CIB copy for sale in my store...

Is HardOff really that good for famicom stuff? The only in yachiyo city is all old porn (censored AND overpriced for double happiness) and "junk" pc systems.

Not even worth going to akiba though, everything is way expensive.

Thanks again.

Some Hard-Offs are awesome for Famicom stuff, some have just the most common stuff. It totally varies by location.

One of the Hard-Offs I frequent usually has quite a bit of PC Engine stuff, while I couple others I frequent almost never have anything on the PCE.

[Tupin]

Got Choujin Sentai Jetman in the mail today.
