Hi, Jabra. You can see some of them in my selling. In picture That all not released for the famicom officially. But Pyramid I'm not sure. Pao Ching Tien and Magic Dragon(Lable similar Gradius),I'm sure.


Donkey kong,Tekken,Earth worm jim, Super mario world (Have you ever to play it?)

JC

I don't think we've yet compiled a comprehensive list. Open up the Famicom carts list on FW and do a webpage search for "unlicensed" and "pirated" -- you will find some there. Also HERE.

133MHz

Maybe a 'Pirate original' or 'Hong Kong Original' category could help in classifying those games ;).

JC

Well, I think we have three designations: unlicensed, pirated and hacks. So, you can search the list for those. Unlicensed and pirated a pretty much the same thing because we do not include pirates of licensed games on the list. The difference between unlicensed and pirated, then, would be that unlicensed come from a known company, like Hacker, while pirated come from an unknown company or a shady company like Yoko.

So games ported to famicom from other systems like Super Mario Bros 2j( The disk game) and Lion King , Jungle Book , Alladin ( The Nes games), These are considered pirated or unlicenced ?

JC

"Pirated" if they are reproductions of licensed games. "Unlicensed" if they are original, unlicensed games. "Hacks" if they are licensed games or original, unlicensed games that have been tampered with by a third party. Remember that there are a lot of pirated games that seem like they are originals. Most of the fighters, like Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Tekken, Kart Fighter, Power Rangers, etc., are typically just hacks of an original Street Fighter "port."

JC

Ok. We've got out Mario pirate list. Now I want to more general pirate hacks and originals list. I want to eventually list all of the fighters (SF series, MK series, etc.). Let me know what you know.

Jabra

Do you mean by Originals/Ports: games that were officialy released for other system but were ported to famicom unofficialy without changing the game ?

I think Jungle book is one of these games

JC

Originals are anything not lincensed but not made by a major unlicensed company (so, Hackers, Super Pigs, Mimis, Phoenixs, and Sachens won't count) -- or like you said, they can be ported from 16-bit, etc. And there is a Jungle Book, but it's just a hack of DK Country, so it'll go under hacks.

133MHz

There's a Harry Potter game for the FC, I've seen it in recent multicarts, but I don't really know if it's a hack of another game or a pirate original (though it looks like a pirate original to me).

JC

Forgot about that...yeah, there are two version of Harry Potter. One's a hack of Magic Carpet. The other is an original platformer.

I have a famicom Jungle book pirate game which is exactly the NES game....the game in which you must collect jems..... and not Donkey Kong Country hack

JC

There should probably be a special list for games that were ported from NES but never officially released for the Famicom. :-\

I'm pretty excited about the update to this list; it's looking more and more complete all the time, one of my goals since I primarily collect unlicensed originals and interesting hacks. I still need to add the Sachens and Hwang Shinwei's titles. Got any info, please contribute.
