10 games I want to buy when I go to Japan, but can't...

This is a great list, there's a lot of these games that look really good that I've never seen before

Wasn't Dino Peak made for the Famicom?

*checks google* Yeah here it is!

Just go to Eastern Europe or South America instead, and you will find all of those games sans

Lone Ranger
Tetris (Nintendo version)
Star Tropics

In a thread from the not-so-distant past, someone had asked why I collect pirates, and this is one such example why.  Seven of the ten games you listed can be found on single cart format, having been made for Pegasus, Dendy and also Taiwanese and South American Famicom variants back in the day.  So while not officially released on the Famicom, they were released on the Famicom in some regions back during the early 90s, albeit unofficially.  And that is why I like the Famicom so much.  Even from the NES exclusive games, a large portion of them were available on the Famicom unofficially, thus making the use for a NES quite useless.

Interestingly enough, I just bought Mission Impossible for Famicom yesterday, now just waiting for it to arrive by mail.

Interesting list.

Others that come to mind:


Developed by the legendary KID design team:

Kick Master
G.I. Joe
G.I. Joe - The Atlantis Factor


Jackal (apparently much better than JP FDS version)

Life Force (significantly different version of one of the best Famicom games makes this desirable)

Monster Party

Frakenstein

Adventures of LoLo (first game never released in Japan...2nd game was just titled differently)

This is just personal but I love skateboarding and have some nostalgia for these...

Skate or Die
T&C Surf Designs

I like how some of his auctions have:

"It is officially made on a factory, so it doesn't count as bootleg."

It doesn't work that way, buddy

Well I would take that to mean that it wasn't some shitty repro, but that's a whole other conversation...
