  • Crap, how many consoles you got?

  • All of them. j/k, but I have a lot.

  • can u tell us more about what a pulse line cart is?

    I'm not to knowledged in Nintendo history.. mostly Sega myself

  • It was Nintendo's first 14 titles released for the Famicom. They're called "pulse line" because of the zigzag line on the label. Each cart was a different color, but otherwise there was no artwork or anything like that on them. The 14 pulse line titles are: Donkey Kong, D.K.Jr., Popeye, Gomokunarabe, MahJong, Mario Bros, Popeye English, Baseball, D.K.Jr. Math, Tennis, Pinball, Golf, Donkey Kong 3, and Devil World.

  • It's un-important, but a small detail: Mario Bros. wasn't a launch title for the Famicom. It came out September 9th, 1983 while the Famicom, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., and Popeye came out July 15th, 1983.

  • The Beeb was available in '81 and had graphics almost as good. Ditto the Spectrum from '82!

  • YOU SUCK GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

  • GBA???? anyone played that one

  • @RIGHTY187 they did.

  • @sygo7g Actually their was a viable import market for video media. The problem was that atari was the most trusted brand and it destroyed itself and made people lose faith in home consoles thus the proceeding computer game boom.

  • @ZyllAvatar yes that is the major difference between the two. The 7800 soundchip was garbage and none of the developers took the time to make and attach their own.

  • This and the arcade are still my two favorite versions. The first to have mario in his current color scheme.

  • ya i've been wanting a famicom or at least a few of the games and a converter pin set. do you know a good place to buy famicom games because ebay doesn't seem like a good place. i been trying to find battle toads for fami com because i hear its difficulty has been toned down
