This has kept me busy the last couple of weeks. Scanning, cropping, and uploading all my boxed Super Famicom games! But now it’s done, check out the Super Famicom Library for information and big pretty images of all my SFC games ^_^ There pictures of both back and front on all of them :) I have quite a lot of unboxed games as well.. but those turn out shitty when I try to scan them so I’ll just leave that for now…
Here are some thumbnails of some of the games I really enjoy ^_^
Don’t forget to check out all my SFC games on my new Super Famicom Library page! :)
Retro Video Gaming 
NICE. Heh – we have the same tastes (again) it would seem. And aha! There are some RPGs in there, too! Well, OK… Alcahest is an action game with RPG elements, but I’m pleased to see you own that one. Say, do you own Zoku: The Legend of Bishin yet? That’s a stupidly weird game that mixes Mode-7 racing and side-scrolling beat ’em up. It’s kind of like a crazy mix of arcade racing and Final Fight…
Cool, never heard of that one, but I’ll look it up ^_^
And yeah, Alcahest was enough fast-paced action for me not to care about the RPG elements, then again I only tried it out briefly so far ;D
Nice collection, I love the Puyo Puyo covers. Actually, I tend to like all games that comes with fold-out posters or maps. :)
Thanks! :D Puyo Puyo is one of my favorite puzzle games ^_^
Boxed games really do look awesome. You have some seriously great titles there too; like Dracula, Castlevania, Contra, Puyo Puyo and Rock Man!
The condition of these boxes look really really good. Where do you find most of them?
I buy mostly from eBay or the swedish equivalent Tradera. Recently I tried Solaris as I wrote on your site, but I still haven’t received that package >_<
I love the japanese SFC games since the boxes are ALWAYS in nicer condition the American or European SNES.. we just don't take care of our stuff the same way…
Heidi, you have one of the most amazing classic game collections I’ve ever seen. I have a pretty good NES library, but less than 100 games total. Got some SNES, N64, Turbo Graphx, GC and Wii as well, along with a few PS1/PS2 titles. But nothing compared to what you’ve got going on. In all seriousness, your collection is reaching AVGN levels of epicness.
Kudos, and keep on rockin’ in the free world!
Thank you!! <3 wow, I'm really flattered that you are comparing me to AVGN, he's my idol ;D
You keep up the good work too! You write so much great stuff on your blog :) Keep that collection growing! :D
Ahh Assault Suit Valken. How do you rate this one? Personally it’s one of my favourite SFC games of all time! Great collection btw. Very impressed!
I love assault suits valken! :D It’s awesome ^_^ It was actually the first game I bought for the Super Famicom, and I had for almost two years before I even bought a Super Famicom console! So I wasn’t able to play it for the first 2 years owning it, now that I know how good it is I wish I would have gotten the SFC way earlier! It’s got an impressive library of great games that were only released in japan! ^^
Ha! Now that’s dedication to a game ;) If, like me, you don’t speak Japanese there’s a brilliant fan translation available for Valken, much better than the censored western release.
I’ve studied some Japanese, but I’m far from fluent. I don’t really play translations though, since I prefer playing games on the old cassettes in the original consoles ;D But thanks for the advice though! ^_^
I didn’t know there was a western release of this game.. does it go under the same name?
Cybernator was the US name for this. It’s a sequel of sorts to Valken on the Mega Drive (which was called Target Earth here). There;s a PlayStation One game called Assault Suits Valken 2, also by Masaya… but it’s a turn-based strategy game!
Yes as GW mentioned the Western release was called Cybernator, however the Mega Drive game was called Assault Suits Leynos in Japan. There is a true sequel to Leynos on the Saturn called Assault Suits Leynos 2 – Japanese release only.
I have to agree that I prefer games in their original format on the original machines! However there are some amazing games including many RPG’s which never made it out of Japan and some of the fan translations are very good. I’m thinking about getting an Everdrive cartridge so I can still play them on the proper hardware…
Derp! You’re right, sir!. Ah, tired me making mistakes. And that’s funny, considering I did a post ages ago ong ame names and noted that Leynos/Valken connection (oops!): http://www.digitpress.com/archives/didyouknow_namegame.htm
It happens to the best of us ;D
What’s an everdrive?
Well RPG’s are about the only genre I don’t really care for, it’s not enough action and I don’t have the patience to go through too long games ;)
Thanks! And hey- my goal (well ONE of them) is to get you to play ONE of those RPGs at some point. Fortunately, other people seem to have the same idea:
We’ll get you. Soon enough… I need to get in on this myself, as I’ve started a few dozen games over the years and haven’t completed them all…
Hehe, that is one tough goal I tell ya ;D
Oops. My SFAM stuff (about 98% of it – the loose carts are in another room): http://fanboydestroy.com/2011/11/29/gallery-super-famicom-library/
I need to do what you did, but I’d need a helper monkey to scan them one by one. I have SO little time these days (boo!)
A helper monkey would be amazing, I wish I had one! Then I’d have time to blog every day ;D
Great collection you’ve got there ^_^
