Title: Twin Famicom
Post by shrimp on 17. Aug 2006 at 07:10

Yay! I just bought myself a Twin Famicom (black/gray with red cartridge port) from a guy who apparently lives quite near me. It was rather expensive, but with my recent luck with the customs I figured I'd be better off paying a couple of extra bucks just to get it right away. These things doesn't pop up in Sweden very often. ~160 USD.

If I'm not mistaken the Twin Famicoms goes for around 100 bucks on the ebay, add shipping to Sweden to that and well.. Maybe it wasn't so expensive after all.

Sweet! :) It was from the guy at Tradera right? I saw it myself hehe. I also have a Twin Famicom (red), its a pretty sweet console. I bought mine from Japan over a year ago. I payed $113 and 7 games was included (one was SMB2j FDS complete), but shipping was $76 (EMS) so it was a total of $189. So ~$160 is a decent price. Its worth the money anyway.

Yeah, he relisted it yesterday with a BIN of 1200 SEK, I saw it this morning and I'll meet up with him tomorrow. He's also throwing in FDS - Otocky and FC - Joy Mecha Fight for a good price.

Maybe our Twin Famicoms can meet and mate and have a cute little GameBoy together?

I can see why you gave Joy Mecha Fight such a good review=). It's a great game, unfortunately I haven't had time to sit down and really play it yet, played it for half an hour when I got it, and that's all.

Just bought myself an original FDS boxed (dunno if the instructions were included) with a FDS copier of some kind. Looked kinda interesting:

Both a Twin FC and a FDS in only ten days. :)

That's damn awesome, shrimp. :) I keep trying hard to find one for cheap and it hasn't happened yet. People post their system finds over at the Famicom World forum and it makes me so jealous. :-[ Soon enough, I tell myself.
