The Atlantis cartridge needs a serrious clean up

[Arasoi]

Nice haul LC, especially the Cosmic Wars. Since the thread is bumped up, I'll share my recent redecoration:







Poor Rockman doesn't have anywhere to hang right now. Ill find a spot somewhere...

[Ed Oscuro]

Are those original ad flyers? Me want, me very, very want. I squirrel mine away in an oversize art portfolio to keep them safe though. (Please give some tips on how to find some! Definitely would like some for the Ninja Ryu~ games.)

[boogiecat]

Formation Z??That game was great!!

[pseudonym]

Awesome handbills arasoi! Love that Mega Man and Ninja Gaiden. What flyer is that next to Salamander/Life Force?

Got a Twin Famicom and Kid Icarus handbill from Carl recently. I haven't had time to take a picture.

I wish I had a decent means of buying these games. Unfortunately, with eBay forcing Paypal I can't use that, and buying games from oevrseas without Paypal is rather hard. The sites that do often allow credit card payments charge a fortune for games.

And finding even a cheap Famiclone that takes Famicom carts seems to be a lot harder now, since the companies have mostly switches to making them NES compatible.

Its for Castlevania Chronicles on PSX, I got it some years ago.

I still need to hang my old Capcom vs SNK poster too, its a nice one.

If you want pretty good deals on Famicom games I would point you towards ckendall (of digitalpress)'s store

For a system, if you were looking at cheap famiclones you would get about the same compatibility rate as a Famicom cart adapted into the NES. An adapter can cost between 20-50 dollars and would be a good choice.

The user InsaneDavid on here has a nice page showing how to make one on the cheap from a Gyromite cart as well.

I see some good games in there namzep, though it looks like you don't really care for Konami a whole lot.

I've been wanting Shin Jinrui The Riki New Type for some time, and looking through that list I found out about a few games that are totally new to me.

Question time:
Is Tokyuu Shirei Solbrain (the FC version of Shatterhand) worth getting? I already have Shatterhand.

[Arasoi]

Nice haul namzep, some real quality in that list. Joy Mecha Fight is one of my fave FC games.

[Tron 2.0]

I have it cib only if you want it for collectors sake.The only diffierence beside it's sentai theme is the change in a few levels that's all.

Lord video showing what's,what.

[Ed Oscuro]

Lol, already watched it. There's actually more changes than that but nyah~ SECRET.

PM dude!

[boogiecat]

My friend owned one of those games(both Solbrain on the Famicom and Shatterhand on the NES)..He won't sell it to me..

BTW i've bought Penguin-kun Wars today..

If we're talking handbills, I have a few (though Carl has sooo freakin' many):

Wow a Famicom thread well here are my newest additions!






ARRRRRR!!

There's some good stuff in there. I would like the Legend of Kage one myself.

Discounting arcade flyers, I think my favorite handbill from my collection would be the one for Jackal. I believe I have one for Getsu Fuuma Den with a fold in it; also a pretty nifty flyer (although I would like to trade it up).

ARRRRRR!!

Wow great hauls there!!! Do you own a Famicom Disk games or a Famicom Twin console??

[vintagegamecrazy]

Is there actually a decent guide to famicom collecting? The DP one in the Database is pretty weak. I'd love to start collecting it more but would probably want to get several solid titles first but it's just blind buying for me since I don't have a guide as to what's released. I'd also like to get a guide as to cart and company styles, I can usually identify pirates now but still would like a reference. For instance Why is Jaleco's Lord of King in a larger cart than say Arguss or the rest or their games?

[FamicomFreak]

I have a disk system but I wanted a twin system for a while now.
