Well that filled the list pretty fast... :P

Jeez how could you even see those games? Lol

Wow. Awesome!

You're welcome!  Once I saw that SD was a very common theme, it wasn't that difficult.    8-)

I didn't mention this before because I thought I was just being the picky know-it-all asshole, but I also don't think that's baseball in the 2nd row.   :P

I'm pretty sure there's a guy pitching in that game. :)

No offence, but I thought so too at first glance.  Then I noticed that there's a sky and the title's shorter.  Now looking closer, it looks to me like there's a dragon shooting a fireball at a party of people in the lower right hand corner ("base" is fireball).  

Though, I'm sure if i look long enough, I'll see little Leprechauns frolicking in a garden (doesn't that look like a rainbow in the upper right corner??).   ;D

Hmm...maybe taking it out of the huge lot will make it look better?

I still say it's Baseball...

Hey JC, could we get a better picture of this one and the two which are still question marks?  :)  

Heck -- wish I could help, but I don't have the games just yet. Still in the mail. And even if I did have them, I don't have a camera handy. But, when I get them I'll give more info.

Ahhh....wasn't off by that much. :)

There are dragons in Tennis????


;)

I know the pic is poor, but what you're seeing is a small tennis dude in the top left corner hitting a yellow ball over the net, with another bigger tennis dude on the right leaning forward and getting ready to return.

So, no dragons.

And besides, the cart says TENNIS right on it.

Yeah, I know--that was my attempt at humor...  

Shit man. Sorry. I guess I just take things too seriously sometimes.

It would definitely make the game more interesting... ;D

no biggie at all.  Is kid dracula worth playing?  Let me know because it's on my probably get sometime list...   :)

I can't get Kid Dracula to work -- but I'm still trying. I sampled a review on FamicomJL's soon-to-be-published site. Sounds worth playing.

I'll also recommend SD Hero Soukessen. It's really an awesome game. Reminds me a lot of Rockman. You've got a main screen of 8 levels to complete with a boss at the end of each -- and it's also kind of crossed with Hoshi no Kirby, because you acquire powers/weapons when you kill certain enemies. It's tough, however, because the enemies are relentless!

If you want me to repair it, I'd be happy to if you pay shipping.

I recognized Tennis at once since it have the same artwork as the PAL smallbox release ;)

Hey M the G, I've tried cleaning the contact of my Famicom games with 70% alcohol and q-tips and still can't get the blackest of the grime off. Any other suggestions. I know you're against scour pads.

Try some white erasers...

Are you taking them apart?  I've found that i can almost never get them really clean with Q-tips without taking the carts apart.  A really small toothbrush may help you there (done in the sink since bristles can splatter easily).  A thin metal ruller with soft foam wrapped around the end may work too.  Still use the rubbing alcohol.  I don't suggest it for often cleaning, but just to get the worst looking carts clean I do suggest elbow grease and something that rubs a bit without scratching.  

It's important to leave as much copper there as possible since the copper protects the very corrosive metal beneith.  I'm not positive, but I think I remember some famicom carts not having the copper...  That leads to not only dirty but corrosive carts.

I get that problem all the time, JC, and indeed, Michael seems to know the way to go. I simply must try your idea out, thanks! :)

I just scrub the Q-tip in REALLY hard to get the real grime. It's amazing how disgusting games can get...

I did get one cart open so far -- I've never cleaned contacts before so I'm testing things out on a crappy game. The contacts already have some of the copper worn away from rubbing against the converter/famicom contacts. I guess there's no way to repair that?

There's nothing you can do but be careful.  The copper will eventually rub off just from continually sliding them in and out of the system.  The important thing is not to speed up the process.  If you use anything that scratches, scratches will cause more abraisian and rub things faster!


Oh, I've heard from many people that this stuff is good for cleaning and protecting contacts but I've just never gotten around to trying it:

I'll be sure to test this stuff out as well.
