Ankos | 558 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 It's a Whirlwind Manu cart. They usually come in Famicom format instead of NES. Judging by the catalog that fcgamer bought a while back it is Bomberman https://fcgamer.wordpress.com/category/whirlwind-manu/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ankos | 558 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Whirlwind Manu carts I've heard date back to the late 80s and seem to have sold decently well for the time (though nowhere near as well as the junk that got produced much later). They however released their games in many different parts of the world, some of which can be difficult to import from, so it can be hard to judge rarity off of that. Findablility is an easier metric to go off of I personally don't collect most of these since the usually have the unmodified original game, so I wouldn't know how rare each individual release by them is. The carts are a sort of popular as a collectible since Manu had some more interesting releases (complex hacks, FDS conversions, and original games) and each game has its own ID code which makes sorting them easy Off the dome I don't remember Bomberman being one of the most sought after Manu carts. NES format Manu carts are a lot harder to find than FC format ones though, so you've got a pretty good find on your hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
