You know those early Namcot releases for the Famicom? The ones that were numbered? I think Galaxian was 01, Pac-Man was 02, Galaga, Dig Dug, and Pac-Land were in there somewhere.
Does anybody have a list of what games were released in that line? It's a set I'd like to complete and review in the near future, but I have come up empty when searching for a definative list.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Wow, that's interesting. Reminds me of the really early Atari 2600 launch titles.
I'm also a big fan of numbered carts. I own all the irem carts which are numbered except for metal storm although I do have it for nes. I know namcot stopped numbering them after some time. Give me a little while to go through my collection maybe I can find out where they stopped. For now here is a link with the first 10.

Thanks!
Are there other numbered cart sets for the Famicom?

Thanks again! Knowing the titles I was after, I put a nice little dent in the set on my way home from work.
Looks like Battle City is going to be the title I can't find cheap.
There's 18 of them: http://famicomblog.blogspot.com/2014/03/collecting-goal-for-2014-finish-my-cib.html

Thank you!
I somehow didn't know that Burger Time was one of them. It's a game that has slipped through my fingers for goofy reasons more times than I care to remember. But now? It will be mine...oh yes...it will be mine.
Looks like I only need five more to have the full set. Battle City, Burger Time, Dig Dug II, Babel, and Sky Kid, Shouldn't be too tough.
The early Taito games (Sky Destroyer, Gyrodine, Elevator Action, Front Line, etc) are also numbered like that and are pretty cool to collect (especially CIB since their boxes are pretty nice too), but I think the Namco ones are the coolest.

Those Namco titles are like the exact reverse of the Pulse Line games. I don't think that those boxes are anything special, but the *carts* make for a nice collection.
I completely forgot about the Taito stuff. That'll make for a nice target once I finish up all the Namcot carts.
Speaking of numbers... After adding nine Namco(t) carts I picked up after work to my spreadsheet, I found that I'm at 198 unique titles. I need to think of something good for number 200. I don't think any of the remaining Namco titles are gonna cut it. Thinking maybe Super Contra or Ducktales 2.
Really? I love the Namco boxes (the cardboard ones at least, the plastic ones they used later I don`t care much for).
Super Contra or Duck Tales 2 would definitely make for a decent cart #200! Congrats on that milestone (once you reach it) :redcart:
198 unique titles.........Nagaremono-san, are you sure you don't own a specific...multicart? (just kidding)
Anyways, I think that I'd like to collect all the pulse line games, for instance, but for me it's probably unfeasible. I like the idea of having all the games in a numbered series.

Sorry. I was unclear. The Namcot boxes look great. Nintendo's Pulse Line cart boxes, though, I think look less cool as a set than the loose carts.
I'm in Hakata for a wedding this weekend. Maybe our favorite Book-Off will have something #200 worthy. :)

That would have saved me sooooo much time, effort, and money...

If they still have that 1550 yen Devil World or 950 yen 4 Nin Uchi Mahjong, one of those would make a great #200.

Even if just for the story. ;)
In the past, this kind of "quest" would have taken me months, if not years. "Thanks" to working in Akiba, I'm finished already. :(

With the Namcot Collection being released for current-gen, the demake of Pac-Man Championship Edition is listed as cart #84 :redcart: I went through all of Namcot's releases for the Famicom, and...I found that there were exactly 83.

#84: Pac-Man Championship Edition De-make

I went a step further. Gaplus new NES port is #85 (Official numbering). I guess Macross doesn't count because it was a joint venture between Namco and Bandai. (Which in itself is pretty interesting. Bandai released most of Namco's FC games in the US. Then in the 2000s, the companies merged. I wonder how closely the companies were actually related in the 80s). Then I added Macross and the US exclusives to the list, because, why not.
85. Gaplus
86. Macross
87. Ms. Pac-Man (2 US exclusive versions)
88. Pac-Mania (US exclusive)
I count 84 Namco games, including Macross. The list posted is also missing Quinty (instead, Famista 89 is listed twice).
