What do we have here? Could this be a pirated version of the greatest Super Nintendo RPG ever made? Why yes, I think it is. That cart is shaped kind of funny… almost as if it’s a Famicom cartridge. That would be impossible, right? Wrong. Those lunatics over at Shenzhen …
Released in late 1993, the HVC-101, or A/V Famicom was a total redesign of Nintendo’s Family Computer console.

This is a recent pick-up I ordered online; SD Hero Soukessen for the Nintendo Famicom. I had always heard good things about this game and I was mostly not disappointed. The game play is comparable to Mega Man with a touch of Bucky O’Hare cast into a bullet hell. What …
This is a Nintendo Entertainment System Action Set. I just picked this up from Re-Play Games last week at the age of 28. A little over 22 years earlier, my parents went to visit my uncle in Vancouver and drove down to Seattle and got me a Nintendo Action set …
