I just joined the group, waiting for approval. Any chance someone could link the image here? I'm quite curious.

@ThePhleo If you (or anyone else) want to host my list directly on VGS, you are more than welcome.

Heres a list I wrote, a comprehensive guide to Famicom. It was written in 2015 though and a lot has been discovered since then, but... https://fcgamer.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/complete-famicom-game-list.pdf

My PCB is for a different game, not for Campeonato Brasileiro 96.

4 Person Taiwan Rules Mahjong

@captmorgandrinker Oh thanks for the information! I'll definitely be checking these out

I personally don't like it. While it might not be 100% fair to link the recent situation with NA and the large volume of comic collectors entering the hobby to Wata, they did have a large influence on it. It's always important to get new blood into the hobby to keep it from stagnation, though I'm not sure I like the direction one section of the hobby took after Wata came around.

It wouldn't surprise me if it were one of the programmers wives or something.

Yup, really funny, as @OptOut pointed out, it looks like the naked chick wasn't even aware what was going on. The nudy game with the drawn chick on the front I believe is a direct sequel to this one. The less interesting Chinese Chess game was made by the same company.

You mean Daffy Duck, right?

I got that one from a guy in India. The guy sold a set of stuff on NA one time, there were a few items I wanted in the set and Campeonato Brasileiro 96 game with as an extra. Sadly the PCB is not correct, but I had later researched the 96 game and decided to keep the shell anyways. Do you know what the original version of Campeonato Brasileiro 96 looks like? Any chance you can help me get one with the correct PCB?

There's two different Rushing Beat games that I have. I'm actually not sure Im not familiar with the series. Are the Rushing Beat games worth playing?

Sonic Wings might also be a bootleg, I'm not sure. I need to get the proper screw bit to open everything up. I have some duplicates I want to sell too, but I want to confirm what is real and what is fake first. Unlike Famicom or Sega, bootleg SFC games can sometimes look quite good.

@Tyree_Coopergood eye, yes it is

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.

Gonna throw the OneBus and Vt03/09 technology stuff in this thread. For those that aren't aware of it, these are modified Famiclone technology allowing for better graphics and what not. https://cah4e3.shedevr.org.ru/dumping_2010.php Check out Shark, for example.

@OptOut: I can understand those who keep information to themselves, I'd think that this would generally be more common until people find and obtain the item in question, who wants to create more competition for him or her self? @Everyone: Taiwanese collectors and Thai collectors are this way. I have seen some pictures of friends' collections, where they have thirty or so of the same item. In their mindset, if they have a lot, it is proof they like the thing. I personally generally don't collect more than one, though there are a few exceptions, which sometimes relate to me feeling a product is undervalued.

Shipping from the USA to abroad really is just stupid expensive, it's gotten so much worse in the past eight years that I've been living here. If you want the 40 Winks (actually I intend on getting that too at some point), ship it to my parents' house, I can bring it back for you next time I go to the USA.

And a few more pictures.

I've been cleaning out the storage room and came across these. SFC / SNES definitely isn't high in my book, but I should probably give it a fair shake some weekend. Enjoy the pics!

Hahaha Corey I love you, thanks for all the time and effort you've put into VGS thus far. I'm excited to post some content or blog articles here, though of course I'll tone things down quite a bit from how NA Dave did

I've got one on the Mario land, you've seen it. Crazy offer?

I really don't like that day , it just brings up bad memories for me.

From Pennsylvania, lived in Taiwan for over eight years. I'm about half an hour from Optout, though I'm much more Taiwanese than he is

I'll check PMs , finish my current auction (please bid!), Then leave for good. Money was never the factor for me in this, and the current na leaves me sad.
