WTB famicom disk system port of kid Icarus on a pirate cart

[L___E___T]

This isn't just about a cart - it's about having the extra parts of the FDS version on a cart.

In other words, the original purest vision of the game, on the original purest for of media (at least in Famicom terms).

I'd love to see more of the FDS cart version if/when possible.

I had this one, but sold it lately to a guy who needed it much more then me, because, to be completely honest, I don't really like this game, lol, yeah, but it's just me and a weird taste of mine



It tends to show up around here in PL once every like 5 years or so.

Hehe MWK- I remember like today You sold me the game

Does that one have a Japanese title screen?  Label suggests it would be the NES version, but it'd be great to know!

Of course - there is an official GBA cart conversion of the FDS game out there i forgot about - I used to play it a lot some years back but couldn't read the Japanese on the saving screen and deleted my save

I think earlier in the post it had been said that this one is just the NES version.

Dang, I saw the new post by you and was hoping you found one

Bump willing to pay top dollar or trade any rare cart you're looking for.

Based on the ROMs in GoodNES, most FDS conversions were of games that were single-sided or didn't really use the saving features of the disk system.  What games that did and were pirated to cartridge form lost those save features.  Doki Doki Panic, Bubble Bobble and Super Mario Bros 2 are examples.  Any game that used the FDS sound channel like  Doki Doki Panic, Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa and Meikyuu Jiin Dababa lost that sound with no attempt to replace it with the regular Famicom channels.  I would imagine Palutena no Kagami, if it really was ported to a pirate cart, would have suffered the same treatment.  Without saving features, which increase the cost of cartridges considerably, it wouldn't have made much sense to convert it.

Bump. This is not my cart just reference pics from a friend. Still looking.

Then why not get Kid Icarus on FDS? Can't get more pure and original than that.

"Original/purist" and "famicom bootleg" seems like an oxymoron to me.

Carts > Disks, especially when we are talking about Famicom.

The disk has cooler sound.

The disk has cooler sound.

I would agree with you on this; I would still take poorer sound with higher reliability any day though.  Some disks have trouble running from system to system.
