scaryice | 578 Posted July 6, 2022 Author Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) #1012 - RoboCop One of the cheapest and most common games I had left is now mine, and more importantly it's also the last Data East game. This is publisher set 19/33 (see the first post for links to previous photos): Data East games 1986-06-03 B-Wings 1986-10-08 Buggy Popper 1987-06-12 Herakles no Eikou: Toujin Makyouden 1987-12-09 Golf Club Birdie Rush 1988-01-29 Donald Land 1988-02-26 Tantei Jinguuji Saburou: Yokohamakou Renzoku Satsujin Jiken 1988-03-30 Be-Bop High School: Koukousei Gokuraku Densetsu 1988-08-12 Soccer League: Winner's Cup 1988-10-21 Cobra Command 1989-01-31 World Grand-Prix: Pole to Finish 1989-03-31 Home Run Nighter: Pennant League 1989-08-25 RoboCop 1989-12-23 Herakles no Eikou II: Titan no Metsubou 1990-03-02 Heavy Barrel 1990-03-23 Boulder Dash 1990-07-24 Home Run Nighter '90: The Pennant League 1990-09-14 Little Magic 1990-09-28 Tantei Jinguuji Saburou: Toki no Sugiyuku Mama ni 1990-12-21 Dai Kaijuu: Deburas 1991-02-08 Dark Lord 1991-04-02 RoboCop 2 1991-05-24 Metal Max Only 7/22 of these made it to North America. I've always thought of Data East, a.k.a. the cooler-sounding DECO, as a company that made of a lot of weirder but still decent games. Metal Max is a good example of that - it's much different than your normal turn-based rpgs of that era, and I enjoyed it more than better known Famicom-only titles like Lagrange Point and Sweet Home. Bump 'n Jump (Buggy Popper), Donald Land, and Heavy Barrel are all fun to me as well. Still, they seemed to lack the ability to make something great. Heracles, Metal Max, and Jinguuji Saburou (Jake Hunter) all went on to be long-running series, although barely any of those games have gotten a western release. It looks like they were going for a red color theme with their carts for a while (5 in a row), then they just dropped it - I wonder why. Most of the cart art seems to be a little boring and uninspired. As far as rarity/value, I'd say that Dark Lord is tops, although nothing here is too bad. Robocop 2 and the second Jinguuji Saburou game are harder to find as well. Edited July 6, 2022 by scaryice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
