I've been interested in playing the Ys series.

Do the Famicom versions hold any light to the PC-88 versions? I read that the maps were drastically changed. Does this affect the gameplay much (somewhat like Metal Gear?)

[HVC-Man]

I don't personally know, opinions are subjective, but HG101 has a good Ys article, complete with comparison shots.

When i did play the first one. It is indeed very different for the maps compared the famicom and pc88. as of difficulty, the famicom version is way harder than the pc88 and some items are in different places.

I wouldn't play the Famicom version, there are too many things changed. The PC Engine version is supposedly the definitive version of the game (not that I've played the other versions very much). But it's either playing in Japanese or listening to English dub in "Ys Book 1 & 2". The English voice acting isn't that bad though from what I've heard on youtube.

The Ys series is a good reason to get a PC Engine anyway.

I would rather avoid this NA-type 1-screw, 3-screw, limited edition 'claimed' NES cart stuff to be honest.  It's not disallowed don't get me wrong, it just leaves a sour taste.  

That's just a personal comment from a mod, not official mod press release statement stuff.  No problem selling repros of hacks and all but when it gets to NA-level we may revisit.

You seem like a nice chap and you obviously contribute to the forum, you're always welcome here of course, but I should be transparent in saying how I personally feel about it.

They're not numbered or limited, the "Mario World" carts are just super organized. I will re-arrange it to be easier to read, thanks.

I have that Super Mario Land 3 i made box for it  http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?98050-Nintendo-SNES-Mod-Super-Mario-Land-3-2008-2013-NTSC-U

The 16Mbit "NES board" I have uses a completely different mapper than the Zelda: Triforce of the Gods pirate. What you're asking requires a hardware engineer and lots of money.

I also don't have an EPForums account, so I can't see the SML3 box.
