fcgamer | 5,128 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) I saw this for sale locally, Ive wanted one of these forever. Several months back I found a different model, but has no idea how to get it up and running (still investigating it). Well earlier this week I saw this machine go up for sale, in my town. I messaged the guy, told him I didn't have a car and asked if he could deliver it to me, I'd add $15 onto the listing price. We chatted back and forth for a bit, and then at 22:00 tonight he messaged me saying he'd bring it over. By this point I was sure that I was doing a transaction with a hardened gangster or something, but then the guy showed up, a pussy (pardon my language) in a Ford, so I knew I was safe. I gotta learn how to adjust the settings (he showed me the buttons, I just need to see how they work) but she's ready to go. Best part of it, he only accepted $5 delivery charge, as he was located quite close to me.

And what is a Xiao Ma Li? Good question! It's a gambling game, sort of a mix between slots and roulette I'd guess? It's quite popular in Taiwan. The name means Xiao (little) Ma Li (Mario) I guess because of this famous set up design with Mario, though other designs exist too . This is the game that the notorious Famicom TV Mario game was based on: https://bootleggames.fandom.com/wiki/Dian_Shi_Ma_Li 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/3417-fcgamer-finds/#findComment-71330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPX | 1,443 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Ahh, was curious to know what Ma Li meant, now I know! Funny how “Super Mario” is translated into “small Mary” haha. Cool kit though! I’d love to own it and play it some day. 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/3417-fcgamer-finds/#findComment-71337 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcgamer | 5,128 Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) I just grabbed these two last week. The Rockman game looks awesome, now I actually want to track down a ngpc to play it!

Tanooki | 5,257 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Well if you don't I'd love to find a way to get that even if it is battered Rockman off you. Solid little game, had it back when the system was on the market, but not since, price bugs me (same with Cotton too which is worse.) 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/3417-fcgamer-finds/#findComment-100440 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 5,257 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Oh by the way, if you're really that curious as I forgot to mention a couple things. That Metal Slug 2 game there is the far better title of the two, so much to do there and fun to explore. And if you want to try it, we all know what archive.org houses these days, and while sadly no one ever really pursued it since, neopop is a really good emulator despite being like 20 years old and you can get a feel for the games. 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/3417-fcgamer-finds/#findComment-101318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgamer | 5,128 Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 Mail day today. Didn't have a bootleg of Popeye in my collection, got this one for about $5. O E cart closer towards a Famicom fullset of bootlegs, lol. Also grabbed a (Taiwanense) bootleg Mega Drive Action 52 with box. Now I have an extra (loose) one, which I'll put up for sale later. 7 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/3417-fcgamer-finds/#findComment-110085 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyer | 203 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I love this bootleg!

Yeah, for me, what's even more amazing is how titles like this, Super Mauro (FC), Tetris (Sega), Time Diver Avenger (FC) , etc even got bootlegged. I mean, we are talking about really rare / obscure items, especially pre-internet, yet pirates managed to not only become aware of their existence, but obtain them and bootleg them. Logistically, imo, it's amazing. Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/3417-fcgamer-finds/#findComment-112434 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedy_NES | 107 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Cool stuff! Awesome Action 52 MD clone. Also curious about the joystick -- looks like Sega MD given the 3 buttons? What's the branding? It's very similar to the NES Camerica TurboTronic / FC NTDEC Turbo-202.

Yeah I don't know, the guy ended up chucking it in for free! It's for a Megadrive I guess though, based on the connector. I also have this blue one which Dave gave me too, which is a Famicom one, I think they look pretty neat! 7 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/3417-fcgamer-finds/#findComment-112696 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeco published a number of different ones, some of them in 7-pin format, too (seem to be harder to find). I started to slowly expand into Famicom accessory territory some years ago and have been picking up things here and there. The transition went more like NES --> NES/Famicom clones --> Famicom 2 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/3417-fcgamer-finds/#findComment-113118 Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptOut | 9,271 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 So I don't know if anyone noticed this thing? Dave and I each picked one up last weekend, seems like there are a couple weird controller fans in this thread so might be of interest: Seems to be a one-handed SNES controller suitable for playing RPGs and other slow paced games.

fcgamer | 5,128 Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 Find from yesterday. Randomly met up with a buddy of mine, we used to work together and we also occasionally cycle together. Whilst trying to find a parking space before grabbing lunch, we ended up spotting a junk shop and they had this. 63 Famicom games, and a Sega game. Originally the owner wanted about $3.25 each, but he then said in English, whilst I was thumbing through them, "If you buy them all I give you a better price!" His price was fair, but it didn't sit well with the amount of money in my wallet, so he asked me to counter offer , I did, and then walked away getting these all for about $2 each. Most of these appear to be brand new, some are still sealed. Last night I went through them all and I'm keeping about half for my personal collection, some new variants I discovered, etc. The others I'll later sell, and a few I'll give to my brother. 4 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/3417-fcgamer-finds/#findComment-119125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
