/vr/ - Retro Games

Is the Megajoy a legitimate retro system?

So what was the deal with the same smattering of Hudson and early Konami games these things tended to have? You'd think the big NES icons like Zelda and Megaman would be first on the table. Not that I'm complaining. They actually introduced me to some good games.

I'm guessing mappers. American Konami games used a cheap ass mapper.

>>6748063
NROM games you can literally just throw on flash memory and stick in a Famiclone, as >>6748086
said, there's no mappers to clone.

>>6748031
I will always have a love-hate relationship with Circus Charlie.

>>6748036
>no analog stick
>probably no games that would even take advantage of it

WHY EVEN HAVE THE MIDDLE PRONG YOU DIPSHITS. IT'S JUST USELESS PLASTIC.

>>6748396
Because they had a mold for an N64 controller, presumably.

As anon said, they'd just throw on all the early NROM Famicom titles which were small and required no cartridge infrastructure outside the ROM chip itself. I think there were only about 50 or so licensed NROM titles (plus some more if unlicensed games are counted including Taiwanese stuff) so those multicarts would just have the same handful of games over and over.

There are exceptions though.

or better known as TANK A, but some did prefer TANK H

>>6748396
to make it look like N64, because of some parents would buy that instead of the other, much more expensive stuff.

You’d think those Chinese factories would have switched to cheap ARM and have No-Intro sets preinstalled

>>6748031
my very first console was actually a very cheap famiclone that broke down in a few months. it looked like a green, transparent psx and was called something like funstation, it had a bunch of games built in, like smb, duckhunt and circus charlie, but i can't remember the rest, i tried looking up some bootleg multicarts with no luck

>>6748659
Because that requires effort.

>>6748036
I'm pretty sure that's a NOAC (NES on a chip), not an actual clone of the Famicom.
I think NOACs are still retro though (made before 1999), but don't quote me on that.
Real famiclones are mostly from the early to mid 90s, and nowadays are probably not that easy to find, the market has been flooded with NOACs.

what would a /vr/ famiclone multicart game list be like?

>>6749028
Islander has to be there for sure.

>>6748143
Why is it in so many multicarts/NOACs?

>>6749040
Because it's a classic early Famicom title that's very small in size.
I think games like Super Mario Bros, Adventure Island or Contra were the biggest games multicarts had, at least back then. Most of the games were simpler early arcade games, like Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Popeye, Dig Dug, Antartic Adventure (this one actually impressed me as a kid with its pseudo-3D perspective).

>>6749171

This is a blue board, anon.

>never got to play Mega Dancer 3, because it didn't boot on my Megajoy
To this day, it's a mystery to me,

>>6750265
Blows my mind that chinks were making Nuts & Milk bootlegs this recently.

>>6754271
It's not recent, I think I got it new in 2004-2006, so it must've been made around the height of the pokeboom
They chose Nuts & Milk because it was NROM, simple as that

>>6755035
I consider that very recent for a game released in 1983.

Real men play mahjong

>>6757295
I actually had this 4-player mahjong in my "compilation" cart. Had zero idea how to play it but it made me learn.

Hell yeah man. This game gets shit on all the time, but you won't find a more action packed multiplayer wrestling game on the system. You'll do anything to catch the orb for that power up. It's pretty fun as a single player game, but multiplayer is insane.
