Where can I buy nes and snes homebrew or reproduction cartridges?

[airswish99]

I have always preferred playing the classic games as they were meant to be played. Some websites have already been mentioned (below) as far as homebrew and reproductions are concerned, but I was wondering if anyone has any other ideas or other hidden gems they would like to share. And if so, does anyone have any particular games to recommend?

Bunnyboy's site is the place to check for the newest Homebrew and repro games. He'll be selling repros of the highly anticipated NES Campus Challenge strating March 1st I believe. He doesn't caryy any of the hacks you see on the other repro sites, but he carries a lot of stuff before before it gets released to those other sites.

VideoGameKingdom.Net - The official supplier of the Digital Press Store, best homebrews, no need to send in a donor cart, very good quality and pricing.

Highly recommended.

Many of these games spark interest, but are any of them actually worth my dime?

The great thing about repros is that most of them are available for free as ROMS you can play on your PC. If you like it enough to play on the original hardware, then you can take the plunge and buy a repro.

[airswish99]

how about snes? are there any sites dedicated to that?

I would maybe stay away from gamereproductions.com. I put in an order in early January and my order still just says "received". I've emailed twice to see what's going on and haven't gotten a reply.

I got a Star Fox 2 SNES reproduction cartridge from Pootle that I'm quite happy with.

I'd be willing to get a few like BS Zelda, F-Zero 2, Starfox 2, and I have some roms for the early beta, and further beta for Starfox 2...which is why I was looking for copiers...

Update. Got my order today and I'm pretty disappointed. First, the box is just an old box that the dude had lying around. Second, he just tossed the carts in with some peanuts and an old bubble mailer, so the carts were pretty exposed to damage. These things aren't a big deal, I just expected the packaging to be a bit more professional.

The big problem is the cart labels. One of the games I ordered was Earthbound with the black label. Instead I got some half-assed white label that is completely different. Also, these labels would never be mistaken for authentic ones. The printing is shoddy, my Ys label is squished horizontally, and the alignment on the spines of the two of the games is bad (way down at the bottom instead of in the middle).

All in all I would say they have failed to earn any further business from me.

Hello, I am sorry you are disapointed in my service. You did not specifically ask for an earthbound with a black label, it the notes section you have "I would like one of each of the Earthbound labels please." If you wish to have a black label instead, I will gladly send you one free of charge.

If the box is not a sturdy box, I will not use it, because if a game is damaged I will fix the game free as stated on my site, they have a lifetime guarentee! And I do not want to have a game sent back to me to have it fixed, that does nothing but cost me money and time. Packing Peanuts is what any major company out there uses to ship (Most of those peanuts are from Newegg since I order from there all the time), and the padded envelope was thrown on top for even more protection incase the box was somehow pierced at the USPS shipping departments. This is just a hobby I do out of my house, I dont run a company or anything like that, its merely a hobby to pass the time.

The only question that was asked was on 01/18/09 11:02 am, and was answered on 01/18/09 at 11:18am, about making a Star Ocean 2 cart. Q: (I hope this is the right email, I didn't see a contact anywhere on the site. Anyway, I was wondering if it were possible for you to make a Star Ocean and/or Secret of Mana 2 cart for the SNES, and if so how much would it cost?)

I will be more than glad to send you another label for your cart if you wish, just contact me through the site. The labels look exactally how they show on the site, they are printed on high quality label paper at a high resolution on a 6 individual color tank printer with a $700 printer that has been on the market since October.

The quality of my labels are high quality. The Y's II label you are refering about was a customer submitted label, and it was redone several days ago, if you wish to have a new sticker for this one as well, please let me know.

BTW, If anyone is a fan of the Ys Series, I should have Y's IV available very soon for SNES!

(This label image below has been shrunk and quality lowered (and still looks good) so you dont have to download a 8 meg image file, and no, the labels I print do not say GameReproductions.com all over them lol)

Heya, I have never been able to get BS Zelda to work, I wish I could, its a fun one =) I can do StarFox 2, but the work and time involved in it is to much which is why I dont have it listed =( F-Zero 2, I have never looked at that one, so it may or may not be reproducable by myself

Ah, I didn't realize you were a member here, I would have contacted you directly. The two messages you didn't receive were sent through your site instead of directly through email. The subject of both was something like "RE: my recent order".

The packing might have looked good when you taped up the box but by the time it got to me the games were pretty exposed. There was a layer of peanuts on the bottom, the carts, and then the mailer on top. I use peanuts and mailers for padding as well but there just wasn't enough of either in the box to offer much protection if the box were to have gotten beaten up. Like I said in my original post though, that's not a real problem. And the box was definitely sturdy, it was just an old box and I guess I expected a Priority Mail box since that's what I've always gotten from other custom game sites. Again though, no biggie.

That Ys II label looks alot better than the one I got. The spine text on mine is very tiny and down at the bottom, and the label image is squished. I guess I would appreciate a replacement label if you wouldn't mind. As for the Earthbound label, you're right I just asked for one each, but I assumed I would be getting what was pictured on the site. You might want to mention somewhere that labels might change. If you have any of the black ones left feel free to include one of those with the Ys

And thanks for the quick response, that's some speedy customer service!
