Introduce yourself...

[Bonneville97]

Hey guys...i'm James for the USA. I stumbled across your site the other day. I've had a famicom since early 06 and i got the disk system a little later...been picking up games here and there and i'm really loving the loads of games we didn't get here. Hope to stick around and learn alot about the Famicom from you guys.

Welcome aboard!

I'm pretty much on the same boat as you James! Just started collecting not too long ago and am hooked. Welcome to the boards!

[JC]

Cool, James! Welcome. Is there a Famicom game you find particularly fun?

[Bonneville97]

out of what i have so far....twin bee and super chinese are 2 of my favs.....aside from my mario 3, Zelda 1 and 2 and metroid..lol...there are like 5 games i got that i don't know what they are...3 came with my disk system and 2 with my famicom lot...(got both systems from Variety Recycle Nippon  ) One of them is a written over disk of Kid Icarus..which i am looking for. But yeah...so out of what i know how to play it's Twin Bee for the win

[JC]

Cool, man. I've never gotten into Twin Bee, but I'll give it another whirl. As for collecting...the best advice -- if you've got a little bit of money to mess with -- is to buy game lots and see what you find. There are a bunch of games out there that are awesome but you'd never think to buy them.

Speaking of game lots, I rarely see them on ebay. How much would a lot of say, 50 games go for on YAJ including shipping?

Good question that's something I would like to know as well.

Well, that depends heavily on what games are in the lot.

You may want to watch 2 auctions, one with 100 games, the other with 82.

that translucent one on the bottom right is intriguing me

[manuel]

Yeah, that one looks nice. Does anybody know what it is? I can't read the title on the little photo.

It's gotta be Salamander (Life Force) with the label ripped off.

And you can usually get loose cart lots for less than a $1 for each game, unless there's something rare thrown in. Loose disk lots sell for $2 to $3 per disk.

I really should sign up on yahoo japan

All I want is that copy of Ghostbusters. I will eventually own every Ghostbusters game ever.

I think I saw a ghostbusters cart go for under $10 on an andyarcade auction. I was tempted.
