Got a big box complete Famicom Arkanoid II. The box has wear, but everything inside is super nice. Cost me a whopping $10.50.
Ok ok, the shipping was $14 on top of that, but still pretty good for a complete one with the controller IMHO.

Does it work on a US system, or do you need an adapter for that?

One could presumably make an adapter since plug in Famicom controllers are different from the NES plug. The cart works fine in a NES with cart adapter, but the US Arkanoid controller doesn't work with the Arkanoid II card, so I'm not sure what's different. I gotta add my loose Ark II cart to my trade pile now, which does work with a pad like the first game.

Great deal. Steel Empire and Wings of Wor are both interesting shoot 'em ups.
