Title: The one game you are really proud of, Rare and unrare
Post by: famiac on July 13, 2009, 04:08:03 am
My  most prized game is my gold punchout because i just really liked and it is a good game plus a rare game which is the best combination in my opinion.

I don't have any rare games, so I'd say my "most prized game" would be CIB Joy Mech Fight.  It's an extremely fun Famicom-exclusive; one of the few good fighting games on the Famicom.

EDIT* Or it would have to be my Sonic the Hedgehog pirate.  I love Sonic games, and I love the Famicom, and when the two combine, it's just awesome!

I'm most proud of my SD Hero Soukessen, because it's an awesome game and no one ever mentions it as being awesome even tho they think it is after playing it. I consider it my discovery, at least here at FW.

You are right, JC. I would not have bought that game if you hadn't reccommended it. The gameplay is great!

So far people have only been mentioning famicom games in this thread. I will mention more than one for a 3 of Nintendo's Japanese systems and why:

Famicom-  My CIB Star Wars. The gold covering on the cart isn't mint but it still looks great to me. Great artwork, and I managed to snatch it on ebay for 9 bucks total! Gameplay is wacko enough to be entertaining.

SFC- My loose Rendering Ranger. One of the pricest (but not the highest) I paid, the gameplay is a mash-up of Contra style (with super cool weaponry) to schmup style. Graphics seem to be the best I've ever seen for the system. You won't find many copies of this gem around!

N64- Ahhh, its my CIB beautiful near mint Bangi-oh (for the Japanese N64). It is the priciest I paid (only because several others were sniping it at the last minute, and I just HAD to have it). Its rare for the N64. I've heard the Dreamcast version is cheaper, but I prefer to play it on my N64. You get two great weapons and a zillion stages to have fun in with your small little mech suit.

For Famicom: Probably my disk games more than my carts because of how common they are. But owning Nintendo made floppy disks for a system that was not released outside of Japan, I consider them very special. Especially the manuals for both of the Zelda games... it gave me stickers!  :D

NES: As of today's post, probably my SMB3 CIB set. It was my first CIB game I got and I got it dirt cheap. I hope to have both Zeldas CIB though.

Atari 2600: Pitfall, it was the first platform type game I ever played... good times.

SNES: I don't have it yet, but for my birthday my brother is getting me Link to the Past CIB. That will be awesome.

N64: Both Zelda's. Ocarina of Time for the gold cart and manual. Majora's Mask for the 3d holo label gold cart and game guide. I also got the tape preview for it that was pretty entertaining. I hope to one day get both boxes and the Majora's Mask manual.
Title: Re: The one game you are really proud of, Rare and unrare
Post by: satoshi_matrix on July 13, 2009, 01:52:27 pm
Commodore 64: The Great Giana Sisters. One of the earliest SMB rip offs, this game's is home to some of the finest chiptunes you'll ever hear. It's odd, because a lot of C64 games are sparse on any audio at all, let alone good audio.


Famicom: Rockman 1-6 set. I'm a Rockman nut and I own 1-6 on Famicom, NES, Gamecube, PS2 and Xbox. crazy! They aren't CIB, but then I was not and still am not really insane enough to pay those sorts of prices of extra paper boxes and manuals written in Japanese. With custom covers (the cover project people!) any loose game can become just as good as CIB, in fact better as the cases are hard plastic, not soft cardboard.

NES: Without a doubt, Retrozone's PowerPak. Almost the entire NES/Famicom library playable, plus hacks, translations homebrew and pirates. How could anything top that? 

Genesis: Zero Wing or Rockman Mega World. Zero Wing is the game that gave us the infamous "all your base" lines and Rockman Mega World is a collection of 16-bit remakes of Rockman 1-3 plus a bonus mode that lets you choose any eight weapons form all the weapon choices from 1-3. This alone makes it awesome.

Sega CD: Night Trap. This is the reason why the ERSB exists today. Fuck you Night Trap.

SNES: Super Famicom Wars on the Nintendo Data cart from Nintendo. It's a great game and rare to boot.

Playstation: Rhapsody A Musical Adventure. Sure, this cutesy RPG is as girly as you can get, but it's so well written and translated it's one of the PS1's hidden gems.

Saturn: Super Adventure Rockman. The only FMV based Rockman game that spans four discs. It's cool.

N64: Pocket Monsters Stadium and Pocket Monsters Stadium 2. Back in the day when Pokémon was mega popular, these games were the shit. Nowadays, I look at them as nostalgic memories when I told my friends that I own the Japanese versions, haha.

Dreamcast: Ikaruga. Sure its on Gamecube and the best version is actually on the 360's LIVE arcade, but the original has some nice charm to it.

Gamecube: Zelda Collector's Disc. I suppose its nothing too special, but I picked it up at a yard sale for $5. I see it on ebay go for around $40. Not bad.

PS2: a toss up between Global Defense Force (PAL only) and Castle of Shikigami 2. Both are obscure budget titles. The former a third person shooter the latter a shump with the worst Japanese-to-English dub EVER. Seriously. Youtube some cutscenes. They make ZERO sense.

Xbox: Metal Wolf Chaos. This game is awesome. You're the President of the United States. IN A MECH.

Xbox 360: The Onechanbara Bikini Samurai Squad. This game isn't good. It's so bad It's AWESOME.

Wii: Tatsunoko vs Capcom Cross Generation of Heroes. I'm an early bird.

Gameboy: Megaman I-V. Finding V was extremely difficult and I didn't have it until just recently. I'd put that game alone here, but owning the complete set of all five games is much more of an achievement since all of them are rarely seen the wild.

GameGear: Megaman. I'm a Rockman fanatic, so even though this game isn't good, I still own it and its my lone Gamegear game I own. Boo-yah.

Gameboy Color: Shantae. Talk about a good game, this title was what I would consider to be the GBC's swan song and one of the best looking 8-bit games made for anything.

Gameboy Advance: F-Zero Climax if you want a specific game, but really I would say my M3 Perfect SD. It's an SD card based flash cart that can play almost any Gameboy Advance and Gameboy game. It's thanks to this cart that I'm able to play Mother 3 in English on the actual hardware.

NDS: Ouendan 1 and 2. EBA eat your heart out. These games are awesome.

PSP:  Rockman Rockman. The Japanese version of Powered Up is even cuter and more fun to play than the English version.

Post by: DDCecil on July 13, 2009, 05:19:02 pm
Famicom: I guess Batman, as it was the first official cart I ever owned. Plus it's just a good game!

NES: Complete Ninja Gaiden 2. My favorite game of all-time.

Super Famicom: My complete 5 game Final Fantasy set

SNES: Prehistorik Man. No one ever mentions this game, and it is my favorite 2D Platformer.

Sega CD: My Japanese copy of Time Gal.

Saturn: Signed copy of Galaxy Fraulein Yuna: Mika Akitika Illust. Works

Famicom - Devil World. it was the first cart I ever owned for the famicom and I still love it to this very day. Addictive game.

NES - Super Mario Bros 3. Was my first ever game and i'll never forget it.

SNES - TMNT Turtles in Time. One of the best beat'em ups I've ever played. Plus it's got the turtles, I LOVE the TMNT!

Genesis - Streets of Rage 2. Easily one of the best games on the console. Sure it bares a VERY large resemblance to Final Fight but whatever! I still love this game!

DS - Rhythm Heaven. A must own for any with a DS.

Post by: turbo D on July 13, 2009, 11:38:13 pm
I'm proud of my whole Famicom collection as of now, albeit a small one. The Famicom + Disk System brought me immense joy when I first got it up and running. It continues to please me to this day. It was refreshing to have the feeling of excitement again, the one I had when I was a young lad. That is the reason the Famicom Disk System will always have a special place in my heart. The first game I bought for my FDS was Doki Doki Panic. I was so excited to play it; I played it all day long and beat it with all characters! I naturally bought SMB2 JP next, haha. I spent a lot of time on that one and beat it multiple times.


I'm also proud of my US Magical Chase for the TurboGrafx-16. It is pretty rare and expensive. If you like cutie side-scrolling shooters, I can recommend it to you. However, my favorite TurboGrafx-16 game ever made is AirZonk! I'm proud to own this masterpiece of pure awesomeness. I can recommend AirZonk to anyone and everyone. 8)

For the Famicom, probably Hanjuku Hero.  One of my room mates and I attempted to make a translation hack for it in college.  Worked on it off-and-on for about 2 years.  We eventually learned that the game has so many puns that it's practically untranslatable :D

Still, it's a fun little game and, since I spent so much time hacking it, I'll probably never forget it.
Title: Re: The one game you are really proud of, Rare and unrare
Post by: L___E___T on July 14, 2009, 11:31:46 am
Hmm,

I would say either my new and unused Zelda game and watch or my new and unused block kuzushi (first badged Nintendo console).

In terms of actual famicom carts - I would be tempted to say my new and unused Hogan's alley.  It's my favourite [FF] game and one of the first Nintendo official games, I never thought I'd find it factory fresh either.

Add to that it's an arcade port and that ticks all the boxes for me :)

Ginga Denshou Galaxy Quest for the FDS b/c it's in mint condition with the cassette still factory sealed.

Majin Eiyuuden Wataru Gaiden for the Famicom because it's my favorite game so far and no one else talks about it but me. It's a great action-RPG for anyone that doesn't know any Japanese.

But out of all my games it would probably be the Square Millennium Collection titles for the Playstation, in particular SaGa Frontier II. I don't really care for the game itself but the packaging is just beautiful with the little tea set and the t-shirt. Just awesome.

Kekkyoku Nankyoku Daiboken (Antartic Adventure) is the game I am proudest of finding. 

It was my wife's favorite game when she was a kid and I spent months scouring all the used game shops in town for it without any luck.  Then after I had given up hope of ever finding it I happened to walk into this one store called "007" that I visit once or twice a month and there it was right on the rack.  Best 500 yen I've ever spent.

Strangely enough I understand that this isn't a particularly rare game but other than the copy I got I have never seen it for sale at any of the shops in Fukuoka (and believe me I check these places all the time).  Must not have been a big seller here in its day!

SD Gundam Gachapon Senshi 2: Capsule Senki

I played this on an emulator SO MUCH before I had my Famicom and absolutely loved it; it was awesome to be able to really play it on the system.

I can play it and play it and play it and never get bored and I remember how happy I was the day I got it. But aside from that... let's go with Tobidase Daisakusen (3D World Runner). For some reason I always smile when I remember that I have it in my collection, even though it isn't all that rare.

I guess Tiny Tunes 6 is my rarest game. I really have no idea.

My boxed Somari I guess, though without the box Somari itself isn't the rarest of rare. Tiny Toon 6, now that's one I'd love to have  ;D

Possibly the rarest I have of my collection though is a boxed copy of Adventurous Boy for Genesis. Finding the cart is impossible enough, but the box? Impossible squared!

Holy hell just look at all those ICs on that batman pirate! I've never seen anything like that! 133Mhz, UglyJoe, explain please?

Also what is Rod Land a pirate of? I can't figure that out.

From what I know of ICs, get some electrical tape and cover up those exposed points on your DBZ pirate. Exposure to light damages and can erase data stored on them.

Rod-Land is an actual Famicom game.

and that's what I said too on that Batman pirate!  Definitely not your average globtop. ;D  Doesn't that just mean it's an old pirate though?

Post by: 133MHz on August 28, 2010, 11:00:36 am
Yup, a very old one with lots of glue logic. The Bomberman PCB contains a whopping 128 KB of non battery backed Static RAM divided between 6264 chips for some reason (CHR RAM?)
Title: Re: The one game you are really proud of, Rare and unrare
Post by: VegaVegas on August 28, 2010, 11:11:35 am
That's right. Bomberman 2 has got VRAM (CHR RAM) and PRG RAM (battery is not needed in this game)

Why in that Batman is so many chips?? Because this is a pirate FME-7 mapper. This Batman is a japanese version ;) (I know this from music on first level).

i actually bought it exactly like that, from this local arcade called Wonderland. The guy had 5 of them, and I just picked the prettiest one.

I am most proud of
AV Dragon Mahjang
Because it surprised me in a good way.  It's actually not a mahjong game, but kindof a Tetris-like game using mahjong tiles, and it is really quit fun and even has 2 player.

The 8-bit porn, if there really is any, must be pretty well hidden, cuz I haven't found it yet.

It's the same as Stakk'M found on the Maxi 15 except it has mahjong tiles.  You need to beat quite a bit of levels before you see the first naked girl.

the disk is called disk system disk


this disk system disk is really cool. first you need tgd6+ to load copy program, but after that you have three choices.
1-copy game so it will only work using tgd6+ with fds.
2-copy game so it will work without addons( like originals)
3-copy game so it will work with something called magic

It works with almost any Makko or Bung game doctor, not just the TGD6, but not the Venus Game Converter AFAIK. At least mine doesn't load it.

I'm not sure about this specific hack but the original Copy Master can definitely run on a Game Converter.

I've thought about this again and again and I can't decide.  I guess my NIB Game and Watch Zelda SHOULD get it, but for some reason it doesn't feel like it is my special game.

I quite like my Rockman 6 in 1, though it's missing Rockboard...

I have a NIB Ninja Gaiden III I think I'll choose that.  Or is it Double Dragon III?  Damn it!

Still one of those hard to decide issues.
I suppose the games that I am most proud to have in my Famicom collection are:
Summer Carnival '92 Recca (pirate)
Splatterhouse Wanpaku Graffiti
All Night Nippon SMB
Snow Bros.
Bonk's Adventure

Is your copy of 'ANN-SMB' complete? I'm curious what is different in the manual and what the opening story states... There aren't photos of the manual contents anywhere. :)

I'm still keeping my eyes open for a boxed set of it someday, but no luck thus far. Shockingly, the Gold Disk prize cards are popping up now, and I thought there were less of those than the 'ANN' disk... Maybe more people saved them, unless I have my numbers backwards

I've been pondering what to say here,and I.m still self-debating on this topic, for it's really hard for me to decide what's more prized: I collect for so many consoles. If I have to select one game off the top of my head, it's my original, sealed 'Legend of Zelda' (circular seal, 1st release) that I've owned since it was new in stores and is still on display in my personal home-museum. Aside from how nice it looks and its desirability for being sealed, the game itself is common and it's the condition, along with my long ownership, that makes it special.

Specifically for the FC, my most beloved games are horribly common, 'Tetris II+Bomblisss', and 'Zelda no Densetsu' but the jewels in my collection are my Golf Gold Disk, and my sealed FDS collection along with a showcase of rarities & oddities. 'Tis so difficult to choose... I also highly prize my GD Tetris disks because of their weirdness and I play my (common) 64-in-1 cart routinely.

I'd have to say, above all else, my most cherished FC hardware piece is my daily-use AN-500R and most coveted is my 14C-C1F. I guess my pride is too spread out across my collection as a whole.I always had problems selecting favourites of anything, or maybe that's just my avarice talking. ...

I still to this day don't understand why Konami didn't release that in the USA. Considering the movie was an American release, it would only make sense, but it never officially materialized.  It no harder than any other Konami title, and I don't think they were over their release limit, and even if they were, they could have used a third-party to publish it.

I can understand why 'Parodius Da!' and 'Wai Wai' never saw a US release, but a North America+Europe release 'Goonies' seems so obvious that it's absurd, unless their license with the studio didn't permit it for some weird reason (or whomever did the C64 version gobbled up an exclusive license).

Or, maybe blowing up mice with bombs was just too risque. :)

I'm proud at my 700-in-1 pirate cartridge, it was my first famicom cart ever, and I love it, the menu music too, and it has Rockman 1 on it (not many pirate multicarts do). I did a page (http://jpx72.detailne.sk/modd_files/fc/700-in-1.htm) for it, there's also a small story about how I got it.
