I’ve always been a huge fan of the SNES and would probably rank that as my favorite system of all time.īut I do have a few Famicom roms, mostly just various Super Mario games, including one of my favorite All Night Nippon – Super Mario Bros.

Truthfully I haven’t gone Gem looking for awhile, and the last I had it was for the Super Nintendo/Super Famicom instead of the NES/Famicom. This had me excited, because I love nothing more than hunting through games trying to find that long lost gem. 2, it dawned on me that there was a good chance that Japan, or even Europe and the UK were getting games that I would probably never hear of, or learn about. Years later when I learned that we had received a different version of Super Mario Bros. I’d even seen a few photos of the device in a magazine once, and was shocked at how different their device was from what mine looked like.

When I was a kid I had heard about the Famicom in Japan running on disks, and also looking quite different from my grey box NES. I have several Famicom games on my RetroPie.
