Finds (Famicom/FDS)

[L___E___T]

Is that the one in the top left?  I was going to ask for an ID on that yellow game.

Yellow cart is Woody Poko.  Wits seems like it'd be fun multiplayer.  It's basically just multiplayer variations of Snake / Tron Bikes, with a bit of an odd art style.

Wit's is the blueish/purple one above the Konami Family Boxing cart in the first gallery of cart-only games. And the proper spelling seems to include the apostrophe. Why? I don't know. It is possibly a typo. Yeah, it's a semi-common idea for a game, but it's done well and the only example of it on the FC/NES catalog.

[L___E___T]

Oh I totally missed it.  Maybe the character is called Wit

Can Konami boxing be played without the inflatable peripheral?

Thank you to Manuel for my little famicom parcel today

What's the going rate on Pizza Pop?

[DahrenDreamcast]

I can't find the PM, but I'm sure Manuel did it for 2500Yen which is about £17.
I'm sure being the gentleman he is, he knocked some off, as them 3 items were shipped together. SAL and arrived in
4 days only!

The Super Famicom I bought from Manuel, took around ten days, but even for SAL, I thought that was fast.

I think Gourmet I paid 3000 Yen and Pizza Pop! 2500 Yen.

Just recently a CIB copy was on eBay, I believe it was 50 dollars. It sold the day after it was listed. That's the first one I've seen on eBay in a really long time.

Congratulations to Dahren, for receiving two of the best games ever made. I hope you enjoy them.

[DahrenDreamcast]

Thank you Nightstar. I have played around on them, its clear to see that they are very very fine games

I started Congos Caper 1 Credit run yesterday. Then tomorrow, i'm definitely playing pizza pop!

Although, I did playthrough the 1st 4 levels of Wanpaku Kokkun no Gourmet World, and was thinking wow.

Its so fluid, really good graphics, catchy tunes and fun.

[Nightstar699]

Yes! Gourmet World is such a great game, I love the animations of all the enemies and bosses. Especially the second and third boss... please let me know how you do on the final stage, some people have claimed it to be difficult, but I think it's pretty easy once you master the timing of swatting the french fries out of the air (you'll get what I mean), and master this one jump that has the be on the absolute edge of the platform.

You will enjoy Pizza Pop as well, see if you can manage to match my no-damage run of that game!

I got some new games today.

First off, a boxed copy of Sailor Moon R for the Game Boy, a game which I loved playing as a kid.



Loose Famicom games... many thanks to StJackie for Guevara and Cross Fire... thanks to Manuel for Robocco Wars and New Ghostbusters 2.



And finally, what are now two of my prized possessions.



CIB Mitsume Ga Tooru and Samurai Pizza Cats, both of which I've been wanting to own in such condition for years. Many thanks to Manuel for these!

[L___E___T]

Wow, if I might ask, how much did the last two set you back?   I have Guevara on the way too, managed to get t for (relatively) cheap.

I never used to like 3 Eyes Boy much but it really is great, I have SPC loose as you know but only a loose pirate of Mitsume Ga Tooru.

[nerdynebraskan]

Sweet CrossFire cart! You'll have to let me know if it's any good.

[L___E___T]

I've played Crossfire before, I thought it was great.

Wow, if I might ask, how much did the last two set you back?   I have Guevara on the way too, managed to get t for (relatively) cheap.

I never used to like 3 Eyes Boy much but it really is great, I have SPC loose as you know but only a loose pirate of Mitsume Ga Tooru.

Mitsume Ga Tooru was 5000 Yen, I believe... I think SPC was 7000 Yen. I am  so happy to finally own these games complete, I was looking through the manual for SPC and it has to be my favorite manual for a game. Had tons of great drawings of the enemies, bosses, and our heroes performing their signature attacks.

Besides the one I have now, I've never seen a CIB copy of Mitsume Ga Tooru for sale (and trust me, I've been looking for years) so I was so happy to finally get a copy of it. As for SPC, there has always been a few CIB copies of it on eBay, but they're extremely expensive. About a month ago I was bidding on one at $110, but I was outbid at the last second and I was so devastated. Feels good to have it at last.

As I said back in our initial discussion of the game, yeah 3 Eyes Boy does indeed start rather slowly, but man does it become one of the most intense, skillful and masterfully designed experiences I've ever had with a video game. Love it so much, especially the final two stages... and the ending credits... I always have trouble turning off my Famicom upon completing Mitsume Ga Tooru, the credits theme is just so damn good.

Sweet CrossFire cart! You'll have to let me know if it's any good.

Thank you sir. I played some earlier, up to stage 3 (the tank boss destroyed me though), but as L___E___T said it's a great game, and an extremely difficult one. I'll play more of it tonight, perhaps I'll get good enough to beat it.

I got Time Zone in the post this morning.
