Awesome shooter!  I love the music in stage 2!

<--- stage 2 music w00t!  Especially right about 0:56 in that vid!  ZOMG!


Yes!  I've been holding out to find it under $35 shipped, which has been getting increasingly harder lately.
 :-k

A nice condition Somer Assault shipped under $40 is my next mission.

oh, is that a very rarey in japan? will have keep an eye open on that then :)

loose carts are usually in the 10,000yen range.  cibbler is le 30,000 from the usual suspects.

This is a top 5 non-US release game for sure.  When the repro is put in a famicom via an adapter, does it output with the extra sound capabilities?

Don't quote me but I do not believe so. It's complicated. Maybe someone here can explain better than I.

I wouldn't know the one i bought is the standard edition.Timewalkgames offer also the full version also,but if you play it on a nes it must be modded for the music to work.

I can... sorta.

I assume you're talking about one of those in-cart bridge adapters that you can re-purpose into an all-purpose Famicom adaptor? I know that when you play games like Lagrange Point and Castlevania III through that adaptor, you won't hear any sounds from those chips. (you'll still get whatever the NES's internal chip is putting out, which isn't much)

Long story short, it won't work because the console's insides are different. While the Famicom's pinout has 2 pins for external audio, the NES's pinout does not. External sound cards were planned for the NES expansion port, and there are pins for that, but since they never made those... well there ya go.

I hear those repros are rumored to have workarounds for that issue, and I did see some further mods to adaptors that essentially create an auxiliary port for that sound. Pretty neat stuff, but tough to make from what I hear.

EDIT: Oh crap, I noticed you were talking about going the other way around, NES into Famicom... well it should be about the same story.

I guess it just depends whether the booters used the same chipset as the original FC version did, or not. Did they also use the FC rom, or a rom from the unreleased oversea version? This might also be an important factor.

I believe they are using the PAL ROM.

I got the privileged to see one of if not my favorite musician this past Wednesday in LA. Bjork and the show was just amazing. I have never really seen anything quite like it. Truly she is an artist. I wish i could travel the world watching her preform.



On to the games. Have to say thanks to Bardoly and thanks to Bernie for the lot of these awesome games. Can't wait to start playing them (once i can step away from dark souls). I also picked up the Wii games and PSP game while i was in LA.

I don't have a lot of Turbo Grafx stuff, but if you ever need anyone to set you up with some Genesis goodies, just say the word. I'll get you up and running, no charge.
If anyone gets any leads on a "fair priced" copy of Coryoon, please lemme know!

Where is fancy bred?

Bernie, let us know when you are back on your feet.  I for one would be glad to help replenish your collection.  I only have a few dups, but I'd be willing to send you some one ups to get your collection back to where it should be.  I'll stop now before I start f*cking crying.
I'm busy playing pinball, but I still drop by to visit.

Today I bought and downloaded Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

Yeah, I'm normally all for physical packaging, but I decided to download since Animal Crossing is one of those games where it's good to check in on it once a day, so now I don't have to keep my 3DS card slot occupied all the time.
