/vr/ - Retro Games

I traded in my first console ever, Dendy Junior (Russian famiclone) with a couple of other random games, most notably a copy of the Japanese NG3 (Ninja Ryukenden 3). Naturally, all the games were bootlegs, but I guess my Ninja Ryukenden copy was made back when the pirates actually gave a shit about what they released, because the cart label looked pretty much exactly like picrelated, except that the cart itself was yellow instead of black. It should be noted that NR3 was one of the first games I ever remember playing and that when I got my own copy, beating the game was pretty much a daily ritual for me. I could basically beat it my sleep, so when I heard that Americans consider NG3 to be the hardest in the series by far, I just kinda scoffed in disbelief.

My only excuse is that I traded it in towards a copy of Sparkster for the Genesis. Also a bootleg, naturally, but back then and there even finding a bootleg of this game was impossible. I still have it. I would've replaced it with a legit copy, if it weren't for the fact that it's one of the more expensive and hard-to-find games for the Genesis.


>tfw you learn that Dendy Junior was the original Russian famiclone before the market got flooded with a shitzillion of cheaply made knock-offs and that finding one now is actually kind of a bitch

I wish I could sayI have no regrets,but that would be a lie. ;_;

One of my three greatest fails as a gamer. I don't think I'll ever live it down.
