Hi fam, did some digging the other week and found a hidden stash of CIBs back from when I first started collecting...





AKUMAJOU DENSETSU (Castlevania 3), NINJA RYUKENDEN (Ninja Gaiden) 2 and 3, and DRAGON SPIRIT still available!  I would LOVE for these to go to someone from here  :star:




So these are mainly duplicates, some I'm looking to pass on as I tend to only collect loose games nowadays for space and saving reasons.

So in short, see anything you like?  Send me a PM or write below.  I've added prices for everything but am open to a bit of movement if you think these are out.  
Having said that, all prices are based on current eBay end prices minus about 15%.

Shipping in the UK is free, with everywhere else at cost.  I can send tracked for cheap and insurance is automatically included in most cases.

Here are the full prices on everything (I've tried to take as many pics of everything, but can always take more!)


- Metal Gear CIB inc. everything = $90 (SOLD)
Spoiler








This copy is mint - it's just shy of 'as new' condition, including all art cards and papers and with a beautiful condition cart of course.
Basically, as close to new as you can get, without being so new that you may feel you're devaluing by playing it :)

This is going for well over what I'm asking on eBay, you could flip it for more tomorrow, easily a solid investment.
Solid Snake art card included! The best one out of the bunch I'd say.
Here's VGD's 4-star review of the Famicom version:  http://www.videogameden.com/fc.htm?meg

- Akumajou Densestu CIB inc. everything = $110




As you'd expect - cart and manual are in as new condition:







This is near mint condition - it's got some very light wear on the top flap from being played and enjoyed when I owned my first famicom close to ten years ago.
What can I say about this game?  There are so many reviews out there and of course the Famicom version is the version to get, way better than the stripped out censored NES release.

You've GOT to own this game, the Everdrive can't emulate the chip sound close to the real thing and once you own this game, you're going to want to own it CIB trust me ;)

I don't think this game came with an art card, I've never seen one and everything else is here.  This is one game that is going up, and up and up in value - worth the investment
Listed on eBay for nearly double what I'm asking, in same or worse condition:  (they sell for this price too)

- Knightmare 2 - Maze Of Galious AKA Majō Densetsu II: Daima Shikyou Galious CIB = $40 (SOLD)
Spoiler





This is actually very different form the MSX version, they completely redesigned many aspects for the FC version, even though it was released shortly after the MSX version.
I bought this advertised as a new game, it's actually not quite new and has been played maybe a few times, but it's in excellent condition nonetheless.  An underrated title.
Great music in this game!  Have a listen - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmwMyzxnqAM

- Gradius CIB = $10 (SOLD)
Spoiler





Definitely a nice and cheap CIB to own and one you shouldn't really be without.
[close]




- Parodius CIB = $40 (SOLD)
Spoiler






Unreleased in the US for the NES, this is a great little bonkers shooter!  The Super Famicom received three amazing Parodius titles, see where it all started and what makes it so special.
There is a dried drop of Tip-Ex on the back of the label.  Nothing major but you can see it on the picture if this is something that bothers you.
I don't think this game came with an art card, I could be wrong but there isn't an art card here I should note.
Read VGD's 3-star review for more info:  http://www.videogameden.com/fc.htm?par

- Commando aka Senjou No Okami CIB = $15 (SOLD)
Spoiler





MERCS on Megadrive / Arcade (Senjou no Okami 2) is one of my favourite games for a whole bunch of reasons...  
This is the original that stormed the arcades and a great port on famicom, a reasonably cheap classic to own and a very replayabale title.  
Really like the mini diorama artwork on the box as well.  Manual and inners are in great condition, cart also in nice condition.
[close]




- Tetris CIB = $5 (SOLD)
Spoiler





What can I say?  A real classic right here, in great condition and cheap too!  Some say it's not as good as the NES-only Tengen version, but at this price it's a must-own.
[close]




- Ninja Ryukenden 2 CIB = $45




Some say this is the best of the trio, I'd be inclined to say it has the best story and music, though I prefer the visuals on the finale myself.
However, you gotta love that box art - such classic 80s artwork - the muscles, blue garb, skyline, paint style and of course that incredible dragon!
Music is also sublime, just have a listen:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciVEo2yTuKU



- Ninja Ryukenden 3 CIB = $65





This is a really nice game to have CIB - The artwork is evolved again from the first sequel, switched all anime as we creep into the 90s era.  
An OVA movie coincided with this one, you should check it out if you can, the laserdisc version features even more amazing artwork still.
It is a bit more expensive than the second game, due to rarity/demand and being a personal semi-favourite of mine.  
Great to speedrun, as I think Loltima's recent video shows:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSmBGlvwcW8



- Dragon Spirit AS NEW CIB = $40







The arcade version of Dragon Spirit is one of the most popular older shooters and it's easy to see why - incredible sound and music and a novel twist on the whole space shooter setup.  The Famicom port isn't quite as good as the PC Engine port, for sure, but it has that pure Famicom feel as a result.
This copy is brand new other than the couple of times I've tested it.  A really beautiful copy and I'm confident you won't find it in better condition, including all papers & stickers as new.
Before you pass this one up read VGD's 5-star review, LK has summed it up brilliantly as a game you don't expect to like nearly as much as will:  http://www.videogameden.com/fc.htm?drs


- Salamander CIB = $15 (SOLD) (with art card)
Spoiler



- It's the blue one, second from the left - sorry, I'll upload more images for people tonight of this one!

One of the favourite shooters for many, and it continues to be very popular, not least because of the unique cart shell.
This copy is actually very well used - so grab it and play the hell out of it without any worry of devaluing the game.  
The box has some scuffs as you can see - hence cheap price, but the important things are here.
Here's VGD's 5-star review:  http://www.videogameden.com/fc.htm?sal

- Mach Rider CIB = $10 (SOLD)
Spoiler





This is a funny one.  I originally bought this CIB after we had so much fun with it in university.
All the pieces are here, the box has some shelf wear so this is another low-price, classic CIB that is easy to pick up, own and enjoy it for the lunatic story and music it has.
[close]




- Cosmic Genesis CIB = $8 (SOLD)
Spoiler





Everything is present, the cart and manual are in great condition - only the box has fading, marks and shelf wear so is quite beat up as you can see.  
Doesn't detract from the game IMO.  All said, I love the pixel graphics in this game and it looks incredible in RGB also - the game has some flaws, you'll do well with a guide to get through, but it's one I like.
[close]




- Pulse Line collection starter set CIB - make an offer :) (SOLD)
Spoiler




[close]


I guess this is a nice starting quad of pulse line CIBs for those that like the designs and fancy having a few.  
These are acceptable condition but very well used, as you can see.  They all come with box, cart and manual, but they're not all pretty :D
Just make me an offer on these, they're obviously cheap.  If you buy one of the more expensive titles, I'll chuck in any of these for free if you like.

- - -


Of course if you have any questions at all, just post them or fire me a PM if you prefer, I get a notification either way.  

Be quick - early bird gets the worm!  I do need payment straight after please understand.  I can ship out most mornings, apart from this weekend as I'm away.

I'll hold games for 24 hours max but I'm afraid I need to get these moved pretty quickly so after that they get opened back up.  

Paypal is good or bank transfer for those that hate Paypal I guess.  Any questions just shoot!

An excellent selection of CIBs, and in beautiful condition no less. I'd highly recommend these, Luke's stuff is top-notch.
So ends another chapter in the glorious legend of the Ninja... Until next time...

- Thanks Nightstar, important to note that they're not ALL in super condition, but the heavy hitters are.

[ UPDATE ] - I marked a few games as sold, which were quick to move, thanks guys, this is all going to a good cause, namely my baby boy's college fund.  I will be listing things slowly bit by bit.

So much awesome, must resist...

I really don't want to start down the path of CIB games  :-[

Updated some SOLD games, thanks guys for helping me clear these.


Going to be adding some PSOne Rockman books tonight, maybe some other goodies.


Happy to negotiate on prices if anyone's on the fence about some of these. 


I looked at what eBay prices sell at (actually sold, not listed) and then docked off a chunk, so I think these are good deals - but like I said holler if you think I'm off.  Will also do deals if you combine of course.

Grab it koop!  I thought about discounting it a bit to clear - but looking at what it repeatedly sells for on eBay (sells for, not just advertised at) it's still a great deal.

Cart is new, manual is new and the box is also like new - better than the photos look actually so I may take some better snaps.

Got some loose games to list and some NES gems up for grabs too - though I may dare to brave the hostile NA landscape for those...

Haha I'd really love to grab it but it's in such nice condition I don't think I'd ever want to play it.

I need to get those listed.  Bunch of cheap fodder carts, and a Famicom Network System.

Thinking of listing my loose Famicom gun (revolver type) as well.

Got some NES games to sell as well, thinking of selling my NES Recca reprint.
