Bootleg Famicom Full set

[fcgamer | 4,722]

About three years ago I had stopped by two different shops north of where I live, and in each shop, I had managed to snag about forty or fifty different bootleg Famicom cartridges.  There were some titles there that I rarely saw on bootleg cartridge format, and since the condition was so nice, I decided to casually start collecting bootleg versions of official Japanese Famicom games. Since that time I've managed to obtain a little over 40% of the full set, the games I am missing in bootleg form can be seen below. Before you take a look at that, I just want to establish some rules I had set for myself.

1. "Whirlwind Manu" bootlegs don't count towards this. The reason is because those carts all have their own unique identification numbers and are part of their own series, hence they count towards my Whirlwind Manu collection of games and not this.

2. No modern day counterfeits / reproductions.  The carts must be from the late 80s or early 90s, I also don't include the cheesy Polish carts from the mid or late nineties. Likewise no fan-made items.

3. The software version must be the same. So I have a bootleg of Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA version), for example, but it is in PAL format. This doesn't count as Super Mario USA despite the fact that the bootleg cart's label reads "Super Mario USA", since the software is not the same.

Here is the list of what I'm missing:

There's probably less than a dozen titles on that list that I can confirm to actually exist, which I don't personally own. Likewise I reckon that a lot of the titles remaining on this list were never even released as bootleg cartridges. That's part of the fun though, as it's neat discovering titles that you never imagine would have been bootlegged, such as the original Family Basic.

Likewise it's fun to see how the rarities definitely do not correspond 1:1. Recca on Famicom is rare, the bootleg is not so rare. On the other hand, Family Pinball is very rare as a bootleg cartridge   

I'll post some pictures of some of the (imo) rarer carts later, but I think this will be a fun topic to watch, for those interested in bootleg games.

Just received a bootleg of Ike Ike! Nekketsu Hockey-bu today! Another one scratched off the list.
