So, first post on the Legacy board in a while, eh? Anyway, figured I should show my fellow NSFCDers my personal collection of Famicom games.
First off, my loose games.
[spoiler](http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x28/TUPPYLUVER95/IMG_2224.jpg)[/spoiler]
Going in a clockwise direction, we have Popeye's English Game, a game designed to teach Japanese people English, F1 Race, an early Famicom title that surprisingly never left Japan, and the classic Gradius by Konami.
Next up, a pirated version of a semi-popular game based on the Pa-Man anime.
[spoiler](http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x28/TUPPYLUVER95/IMG_2228.jpg)[/spoiler]
Even has instructions, but the word for word copy of the Sega Genesis warning label makes it painfully obvious that this is a pirate.
Finally, Family Circuit '91, a racing game made by Namco, or as the cartridge and box say, "Namcot".
[spoiler](http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x28/TUPPYLUVER95/IMG_2225.jpg)[/spoiler]
My most complete Famicom game, it has the instructions, all the original registration cards, and a set of decals.
I don't actually have a Famicom, so I use this thing that converts 60 pins to 72 pins. Some great Engrish on the back.
[spoiler](http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x28/TUPPYLUVER95/IMG_2231.jpg)[/spoiler]
I plan on getting the original Goonies and maybe a Dragonball game. Do you have any foreign Nintendo games?
Unfortunately, no. I can't read Japanese (or any other language, for that matter), so I fear the story would be lost on me.

The only game that has a lot of Japanese in it is the pirated one, it has board game style boss fights like Gunstar Heroes.
I don't know Japanese yet, so I don't import games. Plus, I don't have the Famicom or Super Famicom. D=
I envy that Game Converter...

Neither do I.
Cost $15 at a store. A lot cheaper than spending $80 on a Famicom.
I'll update this thread whenever I get a new Famicom/Super Famicom game.
Oh, and I also have MOTHER 2, just forgot to post a pic.
I have Mother... and Mother 3 for you-know-what... but otherwise, no.

Hm, an actual Mother Famicom cart or that USA reproduction?
I have bit Generations: dotstream for the GBA and the KORG DS-10 Synthesizer.
Both of those games happen to be in English >.>
I sadly don't have any foreign legacy games :(

I don't blame you, the game is REALLY hard to play in Japanese if you don't know it.
Heck, the entire series is. I imported Mother 2 thinking it would be a cheap alternative to EarthBound that would be easy to tackle with a basic translation guide, but it's not. I can barely get to the meteor.
Sending payment today for a new Famicom game, and it cost me a little bit of cash. Look forward to it in a week or two.

Man, the games are hard enough in ENGLISH!
And wait, you beat earthbound and STILL had trouble with Mother 2? How does that work?

It was about a month between me beating EarthBound and getting Mother 2, and I had only remembered the location of things in the menu, plus I couldn't tell what items I was getting.
Man, even the stores around here have imports. I might snag a few this weekend, I have another one coming in special order from Japan.

Yes, yes I am. 8)
Also known as the American Midwest, practically everyone around here owns/has owned a classic system.
Except for the TurboGrafx-16 apparently. Only seen its games for sale here once, and never a system.

Apparently, that's not true here in Wisconsin. :(
New Super Famicom game today, my first complete one.

A skiing game. That's pretty much all there is to say about it. Fun though.
Do you have Magical Pop'n?

Do you have Magical Pop'n?
Nope, but the same developer that made it apparently made the game I got today.
I'll get it eventually, it might be a bit hard to find. The only copy on eBay right now is $240, but I'm thinking that's overpriced.

Those kinds of games are just so well known that they cost a lot.
Oh, and I had some guy on another forum translate the pirate. It apparently translates to "Chāorén Xiǎodīngdāng", meaning "Superman Little Dingdong." :D
"Chāorén Xiǎodīngdāng" is oddly enough the name of Doraemon in China. So there's some confusion on what they meant. I'm thinking that since the game has Pa-Man in it, they just decided to put Doraemon's name on it but not his pictures because Doraemon was more popular.
Nope. I don't know any Japanese, or any foreign language.
The closest thing I have to a foreign game is Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels...on my Super Mario All-Stars game. :P
New Famicom game today, one of my personal favorites. :)
[spoiler](http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x28/TUPPYLUVER95/IMG_2259.jpg)[/spoiler]
This is Choujin Sentai Jetman, an awesome platformer starring what we call the Power Rangers. I would describe it as a mix of Batman and Ninja Gaiden, except a lot easier. Boss fights are fought in mechs and are different than normal gameplay.
The only hard part of the game is the almost unfairly difficult final boss fight, the rest is a breeze. Still, definitely one of my favorite 8-bit games I own.
Crap, still can't beat the final boss. >_>
Oh, and I'll be getting a find so big within a few days that I'm questioning whether to put it here or in Power On.
Big thing today, none other than the legendary FAMICOM DISK SYSTEM.
[spoiler](http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x28/TUPPYLUVER95/IMG_2272.jpg)[/spoiler]
Yes, it is a blurry picture.
So glad I didn't spend a small fortune importing this thing from Japan, found it from a USA seller. :)
No pictures today, but I got two games.
Family Stadium '87- Also known as R.B.I Baseball in the USA. My personal favorite NES Baseball game.
Ultraman: Kaijuu Teikoku no Gyakkushuu/Mahjong- My first Famicom Disk System game, and a slight disappointment. There was a downside to being able to rewrite these disks. Mostly that you never know what you are going to get when you buy a game online. This turned out the be Mahjong on one side and a useless side on the other since Ultraman uses both sides of the disk. I'm going to try to get a refund or something.
At least I know my Disk System works....
[spoiler](http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x28/TUPPYLUVER95/IMG_2282.jpg)[/spoiler]
Finally got an actual Ultraman game, along with a free game, Formation Z.
