Vintage Japanese Video Games - Collecting & Appreciation

I still have some of the ones from when I was a kid

 

^^ oh wow . . . i had some of those. That is so cool you still have them!

 

Very cool Jordan. I would rank Octopus and Parachute as two of the best g&w out there. They are shining examples of game design at it's best. Both of those games lived in my school bag back in the day The release of the widescreen and clam shell dual screen versions really opened up screen real estate. Little did Nintendo know they would return to the same design principles 25 years later with the Gameboy Micro and then with the DS. Nintendo really have the re-inventiion thing down to a fine art.

 

Oil pan, octopus, parachute, dk, greenhouse, ...game and watch .. Ah the memories

 

Holy what, I don't even, WANT!!!!

 

Wow. These models remind me of the video game eraser sets that Kaiju Taro used to sell. Same sort of cool box art. Thanks for posting.

 

O_O

 

Box is little beat up but I love this one. Picked it up @ Super Potato really cheap.

Akumajō Special: Boku Dracula-kun (Demon Castle Special: I'm Kid Dracula) Konami (1990)

 

Dragon Quest IV - Enix (1990)

 

There are four sets in all. Two Mario sets and one Zelda set. They are all amazing.

 

I did not know this game existed! Wow! Really cool!
I don't have a Famicom, but tempted to order the Gameboy sequel and check it out! Looks fun!

 

Strider Hiryu is the man. I played the crap out of those older games, but the PS1 reboot was also a lot of fun.
