My First, the First... Goonies!
A while ago, I made the plunge and ordered my first Famicom cartridge. Here's my story.
Here in the states, growing up, I never realized Nintendo cartridges were in any other shape than the good ole gray and gold. When I got older, I began to find out that not only was there a different shape of cartridges, but there were games WE DIDN'T GET!?!?!
I had enjoyed Goonies II growing up, assuming it was called Goonies II because it came after the movie. Then I find out, Japan had gotten another, earlier Goonies game?! I had to try it!
My Famicom version of Goonies finally came, along with the 60 pin to 72 pin adapter to play Famicom games on my Retron 3. I plugged it in... and Nada. It didn't load! I was so disappointed!
It's been a couple weeks, and I finally figured out the problem. While most cartridges go into the Retron 3 with the Label facing the front, the Famicom needs to plug into the adapter... backwards!
But it works! 2 pics attached.
