Good Famicom Games That Don't Require Reading Japanese

[DinnerX]

Arkanoid II, Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa, Goonies, Holy Diver, Joy Mecha Fight, Layla, Mitsume ga Tooru, Moai Kun, Parodius, Pooyan, Twin Bee, Twin Bee 3, and Wai Wai World 1 and 2.

This probably isn't what I'm imagining.

LOL, not exactly if you are a Dio fan.

Sigh.

It does look like a fun game though.

Twinbee (did this get a american release?)

We got the second one as Stinger, but not 1 or 3.

Brutal Legend is the game you're looking for.

So could we get BurningDoom to update the OP with a running list. Maybe we could have a short description (one or two lines) for each entry.

Joy Mech Fight as already mentioned is one of my favorites. It's too bad we didn't get it over here, it would've been one of my favorite games back in the day if we had.

So where do the games go?

There's a cartridge slot on the back of the "N64" controller.

Also, BurningDoom, I would suggest getting a super cheap game to test it because I've read that the Power Player kinda sucks at playing Famicom games. Of course now I can't find exactly where I read that so I can't link you to it but better safe than sorry.

No way that a Disk System connector will fit in that cart slot, unless the area around it is completely flush. Then you'd have to play it with this large block on the back on the controller.

I have a real Famicom I'm selling if you want it. It's "OBO", so make an offer on the lot if you want.

Interesting, it seems that the Famicom version actually allowed 3p simultaneous play!

Stinger is a damn hard game.

Thanks for the offer, but I've never been really interested in Famicom games before, the only reason I am now is because I have something that will play them.
