Your First Famicom Game

[Slushie]

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.

[Doc]

Ahhh, so you got ripped off at first.

[manuel]

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  overflowing with joy and then I lost all my senses. 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.

[Doc]

Hmm...either way, you got a good deal, I never see Dragon Quest III ANYWHERE!

[JC]

I've got Dragon Quest III cart only. Good thing I don't play RPGs!

[manuel]

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.

[Doc]

Lol, I want to go to Japan, buy every game ever, and leave.

[manuel]

If you can do that you must be rich... I mean very rich.
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.

[Doc]

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.

[manuel]

You were the one that always looked in there.

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.

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.
