Title: Which of these Famicom games are awesome? Post by: wildbil52 on March 21, 2012, 10:18:19 AM A local collector is selling these Famicom games. Which ones are awesome?

Post by: singlebanana on March 21, 2012, 10:35:44 AM There are several great games in there. I'd say get them all if you can get a good package deal. The ones that stand out to me most are:
King Kong 2 Goonies 1 Nuts & Milk Salamander (Life Force on the NES) Son Son Tower of Druga Warpman Dragon Buster Formation Z Castle Excellent F1 Race Tecmo Bowl and Punchout are pretty cool carts as well, but still have the same gameplay as their NES versions. There may also be some other good titles in there that I am not aware of, but you probably want to stay away from any RPGs. Again, I'd probably buy it all and try to sell what you don't like.

Takeshi Chosenjo is a horrible game, but you can watch it being played on the GameCenter CX blog I had running here. Title: Re: Which of these Famicom games are awesome? Post by: wildbil52 on March 21, 2012, 10:55:28 AM Cool, thanks. I know the girl so I might be able to get a deal. Also, she lives in the Boston area so I can just pick the stuff up in a few weeks during PAX and she doesn't have to ship them.
Title: Re: Which of these Famicom games are awesome? Post by: singlebanana on March 21, 2012, 11:00:01 AM My typical rule of thumb on Famicom games is getting those that are not only fun and/or interesting, but getting titles that were never released in the U.S. There are some stinkers out there (like with any system), but some people like to collect them all. If you happen to get a quote, here is a decent price guide to ensure that you aren't paying too much: http://vgstats.blogspot.com/2011/08/famicom-price-guide.html

Post by: Duke.Togo on March 21, 2012, 12:34:28 PM Dough Boy and Hakuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star, but the one we got in the US was the second one) are especially horrible, and some of those others are just like the US releases. The ones singlebanana picked out are the same I'd recommend, but I'd add Booby Kids, Tower of Druaga, Warpman, and Exed Exes.
Make sure to know if these are pirates or legit carts. For example I'm pretty sure James Bond Jr. did not get a Famicom release, so it is probably a pirate. I wouldn't pay nearly the same price for pirates, unless they contain some fantastic pirate originals. Title: Re: Which of these Famicom games are awesome?

Title: Re: Which of these Famicom games are awesome? Post by: senseiman on April 05, 2012, 05:53:08 AM I agree with most of the pre-awkard-turn-in-the-thread posts. That is a pretty good looking list, though a couple of titles (James Bond Jr included) are definitely pirates. Nuts and Milk and Son Son are two of my favorite Famicom titles. Dough Boy as Duke Togo noted above is reputed to be one of the worst games for the console, though I`ve also been told that once you figure out how to place the bombs it is actually a very enjoyable game. Having not figured out how to place the bombs yet, however, I still don`t like it much.

Or anything first party. With Nintendo that tends to always be a safe bet too |
