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)
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
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.
