fcgamer | 4,723 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Hi guys, I'll post some of my finds in here. Yesterday I grabbed this bootleg of Koei's Ishin no Arashi. Although the game itself (especially in Japanese) isn't particularly exciting to me, bootleg versions of the Koei games are very hard to find, and are also quite valuable. I didn't know this one existed into my good friend pulled a copy out of his bag for me. Yeah I know it needs cleaned, but no time for that as I need to step out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcgamer | 4,723 Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 I found a few more goodies yesterday. Since I had to take my brother to the airport, I was able to beg for a day off work, and got it! After he went through security, I left the airport and spent the rest of the day exploring the area. I managed to sniff out a few carts, and also found two that I was almost able to purchase, but sadly had to let sit (the guy had literally lost the key to the display case, so we couldn't get them out...). It's a shame, although I already had those two carts, a member from NA had been looking for one of them since April. Overall, I found a few unlicensed original games, a few bootlegs, and a few Sega Genesis prototypes yesterday. Overall it was a decent find. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.A. | 1,139 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Nice, what are the prototypes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgamer | 4,723 Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 @B.A. The prototypes include After Burner II, Forgotten World, Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse (this is the Japanese version it seems), and Sonic the Hedgehog. There are three others that didn't run yesterday, but I will clean them and try different machines, etc. As @OptOut can personally attest, things are very wonky with the machines and tv I own, aside from my Famicom stuff, for unknown reasons of which we are trying to determine. There was also a Ghouls n Ghosts and an Altered Beast in the set (not pictured). While on retail boards, the Ghouls n Ghosts chips code seem not to match any known Sega game, and the Altered Beast game seems to have early chip dates, so these might also be pre release games, though I'm not sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romiked2689 | 120 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 @fcgamer super cool find on the sega prototypes! I’d have interest in a couple of you ever move on from them. also I seen your post on the dead forum the question should you grade them. I wouldn’t personally but some will want that for them to spend money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkKobold | 190 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I look forward to seeing Super A'can games in this thread! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgamer | 4,723 Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 Picked up a few more items over the past few weeks. The first picture is of a locally made Famiclone. The second picture has two Sega games. The first is a Taiwanese original, the box had some water damage at the top but everything else looks fine. The other game is a bootleg of Shadow Dancer. Picture three has some really nice multicarts from Aaronix. It's funny, as this company was producing official Sega stuff in Taiwan, while at the same time cranking out bootleg Famicom stuff. Then there are some bootleg Famicom games with nice, generic labels. This was quite often done during the early days of bootleg Famicom carts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lickle is a highlight, so is Family Pinball oddly enough. That game is hard to find as a bootleg. The Sachen Hidden Chinese Chess game is also a nice one. The carts on the last picture are all broken, but I knew that before getting them. The value lies in the bootleg box for Dragon Quest III. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcgamer | 4,723 Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) Just received these on Friday! Conan was never officially released on the Famicom, and the bootleg version is quite rare. Same story with American Gladiators, though it is just uncommon to find. North and South and Super Spy Hunter contain the USA rom , with N&S also being quite hard to find. Edit: Sorry the carpet's a bit dirty, my cat's had a really rough week and the stray litter Ive been battling shows.
