Adventure Island 4

Post by pjvdg »

Hi guys,

Just a short question. I always thought that Adventure Island 4 was only released in Japan for the Famicom. Now when you take a look here: http://www.pedrogames.com/Adventure_Isl ... nd4nes.htm You'll see that they are selling the game for the NES. Could this be a reproduction? Or was there ever a limited release on the NES?

Yep, AI4 was only released in Japan, so that's a repro.

Though I'd expect no less from a store called Pedrogames.com.

That's what I thought. Just got feedback from them and they confirmed to me that it is indeed a repro.

Case closed :)

Takahashi Meijin no Bōken Jima IV made my list for the top 25 Powerpak killer apps. Demiforce's translation is fantastic. The game was the final Famicom game officially produced. It's non linear compared to the somewhat boring first three games.

I would highly recommend that no racketboy member ever purchase from Pedrogames.com or his eBay account either. He's a very disrespectful seller, with no regard for his customer base. Additionally things like this where he's trying to sell a repro as an actual game, as the description makes no mention that is a reproduction.
