I'm looking for an pirate FDS port of kid Icarus. I've never seen one only heard rumors of them. If you have one and even if your not willing to sell at least post a pic of the cart for me.

I'm also looking for one, so I would like to +1 to the request for a picture, please, asking very politely if we can see what one looks like, to better hunt it down.  Ryo / Poppy I'm looking at you! :D

 I saw one here years ago,think it was a straight up port with save features but it looked expensive,have no idea if had any expansion audio.

Think StealthLurker has one.

I also want one of these, if anyone has one for sale (I think maybe I saw one on Oreanor's (SP?) collection page.

Anyway, here is a pic of one (not mine though):

I had this one, but sold it lately to a guy who needed it much more then me, because, to be completely honest, I don't really like this game, lol, yeah, but it's just me and a weird taste of mine :crazy:



It tends to show up around here in PL once every like 5 years or so.

Are those carts just the nes version and not the fds port?

BonBon

Yeah I'm  specifically looking for an fds port not the nes version on a pirate cart.

MWK

Yup, mine was just a pirate. FDS port would be much more difficult to track and acquire, I believe.

The one I saw listed above was FDS port, not the NES version.

I think all of us would ;)

The one I saw was sold for maybe $100+  I wanted to buy it but didn't have the money.

What exactly does the FDS port have in it to separate it from the NES version?

- JP title / logo screen
- no in-game graphics censoring
- different ending(s)
- SRAM saving
- borked FDS audio

I know some of the FDS differences, but specifically interested in what differences are supposedly carried over into a cartridge port of that.

Yeah I am interested to know why the cart is worth so much.

Kid Icarus was only released officially on the Famicom Disk System.  FDS --> cart ports are always valuable, since they are not so common to find (and most people would agree that carts as a media is better than disks)

Yeah I own the fds version. The cart looks like rubbish to me.
