The Famicom Thread

[Tupin]

Heh, I just looked that game up and it looks great. I asked Carl to find me a cart of it too XD

Yeah, it's pretty awesome. XD

I got it for $15 shipped, which is pretty good. I like using Famicom Shop because when you get a game, shipping doesn't cost more than the item.

[Arasoi]

Got some more. I think my Famicom budget is done for the month XD

Tetsuwan Atom (Astro Boy)
Druid: Kyoufu no Tobira
King Kong 2: Ikari no Megaton Punch

Nazo is really a great game, one of my new favorites.

Indeed, as I've said myself in this thread, Nazo no Murasamejou is probably my favorite FDS game. Road Fighter is also a pretty decent port of the arcade game, I have it in a bunch of my bootleg GBA-NES cartridges.

[RadiantSvgun]

Carl is the best guy to get FDS stuff without paying a premium. I went with a FDS+AV famicom setup though :P

[Volcanon]

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.

@ooXxXoo, spot on job man! You never cease to amaze me!

I'd love to have a Famicom Twin someday.

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.

I notice but the disk is defective it wouldn't load up.

I didn't test the disk as I just grabbed it from a pile of untested stuff. Ah well, I'll toss you another freebie next time and double check that it works.

Hope you are enjoying Gyruss anyway.

Thanks,
Carl

Instead of listing purchases today Id like to make a Famicom/NES game recommendation.

Abarenbou Tengu for Famicom, otherwise known as Zombie Nation in the US for NES. There were some changes between the two, but its essentially the same game and worth playing either way. Ill be focusing on the Famicom version.

It's a rather whacky side scrolling shmup type game with destructible backgrounds, definitely a lot of fun. The story seems to be about a giant tengu(demon) mask saving America from monsters and aliens, and blowing everything up in the process.

The bosses include the statue of liberty, a weird giant old man in a thong(god? zeus?) and a giant 50s space alien. Awesome.

Play this one if you get a chance. Im going to hunt this down on Famicom cart if I can for sure.
