Can anyone fill me in on the rarest ones? A list perhaps of the hardest famicom carts to find. Thanks

Hard to say, really. I've never come across a game that was all that rare. I can think of special versions of some carts, like gold Rockman 4 or that one final Gundam (I think) of which they only made 1,000. Otherwise, I'm drawing a blank.

When I Landed in Akihabara, the most expensive games I found in shops were Special Kung-Fu with english letters, Gold puch out, Snowbros,  Moero Twin bee, Castlevania 1 (Dracula's Castle I think), in this order.
Snow bros was very expensive, about 20000y or so, Gold 45000, and Kung-fu don't remember but I believe it goes something like 100000y maybe more. Crazy!

Oh, I forgot about those. There's also Special Pro-Wrestling, which sells big. Those prices you were seeing, mundocombo, seem a little bit inflated. Maybe that's because it was in a store and not in an auction. I just bought a CIB Gold Punch-Out, with the letter, for 20500yen. Probably too much, since I was only one of two bidders, but I've sold a shit CIB one on eBay for over $300.

yesyes, talking about stores, potatos and softmaps etc
Anyone knows about snow bros? Is it really so rare? it cost me a lot, but i cannot let it pass when i had it in my hands... Never saw one in yahoo too, only pirates.
BTW some new games are coming to me now :p I'll show yiu when those beauties arrive

I've never seen Snow Bros. for sale either. I imagine it's hard to come by. Probably as hard as Bio Miracle, the cart version. I've seen a CIB Bio Miracle sell for a couple to several hundreds of dollars.

I'm having a lot of trouble of finding some of Hacker International games.  Miss Peach World is very rare and expensive.  Still looking for it  :(

I was just in Toyko a few days ago and took a picture of this for you guys.  It's a Gold Dodgeball and it's in some sort of glass case.  I don't know anything about except it is damn expensive!  690000 Yen!!! = about $6000!!!!

Is that a Super Famicom cart? Kinda looks like it. Neat as heck, whatever it is. Wish we knew the story behind it.

That Super Dodge Ball cart is badass, but for $6,000, it would have to be solid gold, cook me dinner, and give me sex on call for the next year.
