What is your first Famicom and FDS game?
My first Famicom game was SMB3 and a multicart. I went to a used store and saw them there for 5 dollars each. I thought they were so cool, so I bought them, the guy threw in a Converter.
My First and Only FDS game is Eggerland. Now all I need is a FDS.
Pirate Famicom cart of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project. It was just called "Super Turtles III". I gave it to someone else.
My first Famicom was a 16 in 1 multicart. And I have yet to own the FDS. :(
Believe it or not, Super Mario Bros. 3. My friend knew I lived it so much, that he bought the Famicom version for me December 2004, Christmastime. It's also what got me to get started on my love of the Famicom. :)
Akumajou Densetsu. It's the whole music chip thing that first sparked my interest in famicom games.
My first Famicom game was Dragon Quest 3 when I remember right.
I bought it in a little used game shop when I was in Japan for the first time. It cost 1500Yen cart only. One year later when I was studying abroad in Japan I found it again, this time complete in box for 400 Yen.
Ahhh, so you got ripped off at first. :P
Not exactly ripped off. It was my fault for not knowing about the prices yet.
It was my first visit in Japan. I went into that store and got big eyes :o overflowing with joy and then I lost all my senses. ;D I so much wanted a Famicom game just for the sake of owning it (and to use with my Twin Famicom) that I didn't pay much attention to the price.
Later I traded that Dragon Quest 3 for a Game Genie, so it was ok I guess.
Hmm...either way, you got a good deal, I never see Dragon Quest III ANYWHERE!
I've got Dragon Quest III cart only. Good thing I don't play RPGs! :P
In Japan DQ3 is quite common.
I see it nearly everywhere I go.
Maybe we can work out some deals when I go to Japan again.
...
Man, I want to go to Japan again. And fast :'( Germany sucks.
Lol, I want to go to Japan, buy every game ever, and leave.
If you can do that you must be rich... I mean very rich. :o
Some of the games are VERY rare and Japanese collectors pay much for them.
Japan has more to offer than games. Very nice country.
If you want I could post some photos of Japan in the off-topic.
Yeah, I know, I'd vist every place, ever, and THEN buy the games. The scenery is just beautiful. I followed your old Japanese blog for awhile, and loved the pictures. PLEASE DO POST THEM! :)
The T.V. there sounds great. I'm trying to learn to speak Japanese so I can atleast chatter and watch the fine television. :)
You were the one that always looked in there. ;D
I got too busy with work (i.e. helping out in the temple), so I lost track and didn't post more photos on that blog.
When I've time again i'll search some good pics and make a Japan-photo-thread in the off-topic. :)
I love to show photos to people. :D
Next time I go to Japan I plan to make photos of every game shop I visit and make a page about that. Should be interesting.
(sorry for straying off-topic in here :-[ )
Ahhh, and send it to Famicom World? Our readers would love to know about what Japanese gaming shops are like!
And yes please on that awesome photo blog!
Of course I'd share the photos with Famicom world. :D I love people looking at my photos.
Alright, thanks. :)
Bump for newer members. :)
Oh wait it wasn't Rockman it was a 4 in 1 cart with mario bros 2 in it and other marios plus galaga....it was so long ago...
super mario bros
Akumajou Dracula Special: Boku Dracula-kun. I had it before I even had a Famicom. I played it on my NES with an adaptor.
Chip and Dale and weird Ninja game when I first got it along with the Famicom,
Akumajou Densetsu :)
Akumajou Supeshiaru: Boku Dorakyura Kun - my first one
To Manuel:
Don't say germany sucks, I'm trying to find a way to leave here(almost 14 years in Japan, I guess) and go to Europe with my wife (and my tons of games :-[), because, all my friends are japanese, I just can not like their life style. Their way of think, their way of do the things. Japan is a very beatiful country but, the people...just dont matches with westerners. You never knows if what their are saying is true or not. The japanese who leaves japan to study, yeah, the change to a good way, but if they come back, they turn to be the same as before. The only japanese that I can trust is my wife.
Parodius complete. Ive buyed it together with mine pocketfami.
I want it to play it on the famicom but i must modify the famicom. :-[
If you mean the first import cartridge I even owned, then

Nintendo of America was being greedy and forced third party developers to make their games on Nintendo's standard chip. Gradius II used a Konami brand VRC4 chip.
I gotten my first Famicom system with 20 carts for $20 at a chinese yard sale on NYC China town back in 1986 and when I got back home THE very first Famicom game I played was Super Mario Bros 1^_^ Later today Ill list what games I got on that day.
my first famiom game was a power joy 008 pirate cart with a famiclone joystick system

My first cart was Baseball, and I got it for like $5 shipped. :) I didn't even have a famicom at that point. I just wanted it because it was cheap and I liked import games. :P
I have fond memories playing Super Mario Bros on my Famicom back in the summer of 1990. My 2nd game was Rockman. I was lucky to be able to get hold of imported games because I worked in a video game store that specialised in imported Consoles. The best job I had as a teenager - great memories man!
I was 2 in 1990, haha. I feel so young at only a mere 20. (I'll be 20 in a month)
I still feel like I'm 12 ;)
Demon Sword, and its quite fun. Its got some differences from the US version. And the differences are noticiable.
My first Famicom game was F-1 Race, which I got at CGE 2K5 for about $5.
My first game was SD Battle Ozumou: Heisei Hero Basho. Bought it for $7 in a game store 'cuz I needed a test cart to see if my famiclone worked. It didn't, but after a little soldering, it now works great ;)
rockman 2
Mario Bros was included in the Famicom auction that I won.
As for the FDS Super Mario Bros 2
my first FDS disk was this twinbee game...
