Glitches Abound, and More

Now that I can retrieve media from my 3DS much more efficiently, I have some pics\vids for you.
Yes, this happened! A long time ago though.

I've never been able to do this, except once or twice...same goes for the Mappy bonus round.
I haven't played Galaga in a while, come to think of it. The Famicom's been distracting me from every other retro system.
Also, I'd like to exhibit some of the many glitches you find with old systems:
Yeah, what the heck right? LoZ has given me much weirder before.
This was also weird.


My Famicom games usually come in need of cleaning - Dr. Mario and Xevious(read on!) didn't even start before a rigorous cleaning session. Mario Bros. worked, but had some weird pro pros at first.
I mentioned Dr. Mario earlier...here is one of the happenings.
This one was a while back...it's never happened again. Yeah, my SMB is pretty glitchy. One time when it has, thankfully, worked well was when I beat it recently. I have a video of that, in fact, but on VHS. Yeah.
--Non-glitch topic--
So, the Super Famicom. Right?
I got it a while back and always forget about it...anyway here's pix
The thing itself. Luckily, I got it with everything I needed- controller, AV, power(the power thing looks just like the FDS power thing for some reason...). Also, I think my 3DS might be taking smaller pictures...this is the new original size.
The first 2 games I got for it. I got them as a set, actually.
Unfortunately, SMK seems to be broken...the track won't render. F-Zero is also weird - it's possible to play, but the track looks REALLY weird. I should take a video.
Also - when moving a TV a while back, I crushed the SFC's AV jacks(TV end)...AUGH. At least there are a few solutions.
(-Borrow NES\FC RF switch
-Use another Nintendo AV thing[SNES through GC are all the same{why did they change it for the Wii?}]
-Just get a new one)

Next time - I probably talk about Famicom games.

Minor note

I have found that SD card thing I lost...prepare for more pictures.

M'Famicom...*tips fedora*

Guess what, the FDS has been here and I got some Famicom news,,,

Games are now super-duper cheap due to the kindness of famicomblog.blogspot.com who sells them at wonderful prices! (Notably though they take a while to get here since he lives in Japan)

Acquisitions:
-FDS with disk that has SMB2\Volleyball(I was right about SMB2 being the one that is LL in America)
-Pac-Land
-Dragon Buster
-Photon\Foton The Ultimate Game on Planet Earth

Turns out, SMB2 does not have a 2P mode, just one where you play as Luigi(who runs faster and jumps higher but has super-slippery controls).
Volleyball kind of sucks and is super hard don't buy it

Pac-Land is weird. For one thing I thought my copy was broken because the controls are weird africk

Yo tell me if this alt text works (2)
By jumping at different places before the BREAK TIME sign, you can get bonuc points. Here: 10
500
1,000
I actually have gotten 7,650 once but alas I couldn't get a picture in time...
Did I mention it's a bit prone to glitches? 
HELLO DIRK. I'D LIKE TO PLAY A HuMAN GAME. CALLED. "PAC-LAND."
And also, once it showed up entirely in black and white.
Yeah. (Sorry my phone catches the TV refreshing >.<)
I'd also like to note it's VERY HARD. This is the farthest I've gotten:
The level with the water and stuff.
And THIS is a killer:
FRICKING TRAMPOLINE THING
I don't have any pictures of Dragon Buster or Photon, but believe me, DB is amazing. I've played it a lot.
Foton kind of sucks. I love the cartridge, and it looks interesting, but it's hard and confusing and kind of boring.

Also, I suck at Mario Bros. and my highscore is 70490
Also, now that my Famicom works, I've put some time into the Gundam games.
My high score on Hot Scramble.
The #3 one, part of a minigame. Here I somehow gave this guy 9999 HP. A bug maybe?
I hate glitch lines.
Notes: Lode Runner I got for Christmas, if I didn't already say so in my last post. Also, side B of the FDS disk has Volleyball, if you forgot. Also: accessories left out.
I hope to post more later!
