Some of my favourite games from the West:
-Phantasy Star
-Golden Axe Warrior
-Astérix
-Astérix and the Secret Mission
-Wonder Boy series (I-II-III-IV)
-Alex Kidd in Miracle World
-Master of Darkness
-Spellcaster
-R-Type
-Bubble Bobble
-Castle of Illusion
-Land of Illusion
-Deep Duck Trouble
-Golvellius
-Kenseiden
-Ninja Gaiden
-Power Strike II
-Psycho Fox
-Road Rash
-Shinobi
-Star Wars
-Zillion
-Penguin Land
-Renegade
Most of the light-gun games are fun as well, Laser Ghost - Assault City - Missile Defence 3D (you need the 3D glasses for this one) to name a few.
For Japan-only games, it feels a bit more subjective, but my favourites:
-Megumi Rescue
-Rygar
-Solomon's Key
-Enduro Racer (has twice as many levels as the Western version)
-Tensai Bakabon
-Phantasy Star
-Golden Axe Warrior
-Astérix

General Gaming / Re: Never Played NES
October 14, 2013, 10:09:20 PM
I am living in Japan but I am from South Africa and have most of my games collection with me here.
I use multi-region CRT televisions for playing my games so I am not stuck with NTSC-J at all.
Most French consoles (technically SECAM) came with a Peritel cable and some output RGB directly (Atari 7800 and Sega Master System for example). The difference in quality is huge when compared with the RF output of the consoles which were sold elsewhere. In this case, it is not simply a question of switching the cable as the consoles sold elsewhere do not output RGB despite being from the same region (ex. UK Atari 7800 and UK Sega Master System). This is why I tend to only use French consoles for playing those systems. Of course the more modern the console, the easier it is to get around this.
But if the NES only outputs AV, then as you say, it makes no difference. My question was more in relation to the games themselves and in which region they would be cheaper to acquire.

I play a lot of my consoles in PAL format and being from South Africa I have a large PAL collection. Having said that, I don't even have a PAL Turbografx. It really depends on the console, for some like the Megadrive I have a lot of both.
One of the huge advantages of many PAL consoles, for me anyhow, is the Peritel/Scart connection which means getting the best possible picture without having to do any modifications.
As far as the NES is concerned, I don't really know which is why I was asking.

I have also never had a NES. In fact I don't think the NES was ever released in South Africa where I grew up. I can remember a rich friend had one as his father had managed to import one somehow and I did play it a few times when I visited his house.
Is it generally cheaper to collect PAL titles or NTSC titles? And which version of the hardware should one get?

With regards to Sapphire, Punkic Cyborg is correct, you will most likely need to spend hundreds if you want a real one.

For what it's worth, I think the two sections should remain separate.
Aside from discussions about differences between games released on both formats, it seems to me that most posts are specific to only one
system.
It's probably also less confusing this way for someone who isn't familiar with both systems.

I was wondering if someone on this board living in the United States could help me by buying some games from Turbo Zone Direct on my behalf and forwarding them to me in Japan.
I have also received the e-mail from TZD, and it sounds as if this may be my last chance to purchase some of the US games I am missing. However, TZD can no longer process foreign credit cards, and I am living in Japan.
If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated. I could pay the person helping me using Paypal.

somewhat unique.

It's true that the bulk of the really good games are probably on Super CD format, however I still think the Supergrafx is worth getting.
Aldynes is a personal favourite, and Daimakaimura and 1941 are nice games as well. The Supergrafx attaches nicely to the Super Cd rom attachment
and, although a bit bulky, I think it's nice to have a setup that allows you to play absolutely anything in the Pc-engine library.

- the Bonk/ PC Genjin games ( Bonk's transformation is different to PC Genjin's when he eats meat....not sure if this was changed in all three games)
- Cratermaze ( the characters are from Booby Kids, and completely different to those in the PC Engine Doraemon game)
- JJ& Jeff (the characters have been changed from Kato& Ken, and some aspects were changed: farting/ spray can etc...)
- Magical Chase seems to have different backgrounds ( probably nicer) in the US version, although I haven't been able to track down a copy.
- Psychosis, the levels are in a different order to those in Paranoia, the alien no longer tells you to fuck off.
- R-Type was made into one game for the US, rather than part 1 and 2.
- Sinistron, again some of the levels were switched around, slightly different to Violent soldier.
That's all I can think of as far as very noticeable differences are concerned, but I am sure some changes were probably made to other games as well.

Yes, you can indeed pick some things up quite cheap on Yahoo auctions in Japan. I am in Japan at the moment and just purchased a boxed 3DO system for 610 Yen last night ( about 5 US dollars).
I find myself buying a few things I would never have bought otherwise.
Anyhow, as someone mentionned, it is indeed rather difficult if you are outside Japan, as you can't use a foreign credit card, and most sellers won't ship outside the country anyway; however, some do, so it's still worth having a look at what's available now and again. You will notice a small message in English beneath the item which you are viewing that says "Seller will ship internationally" or "Seller will not ship internationally", whatever the case may be.
Another solution is to do all your purchasing when in Japan, if you happen to visit from time to time.

I suppose it depends on how complete the games are. Generally speaking though, I think you are likely to get more by selling the games separately. If you have complete boxed games ie. with absolutely everything they originally came with ( instructions, case + cardboard box-with the exception of Loom of course which didn't have one), they should fetch a very good price on their own on Ebay, especially Devil's Crush, so I would definitely sell them separately unless they are loose Hu-cards.
Your system, seeing as you still have the original box, will fetch a good price regardless. That's my opinion anyhow.
