Its kind of weird to see cover art like that on a Famicom game. It may come as a shock, but this may not even have been licensed by Nintendo (gasp).It came out in 1990 and was released by a company called Super Pig.
Reading through the FAQ it seems that despite the title and provocative cover art, this game has nothing to do with sex. Its basically just a Space Invaders clone. I guess for marketing purposes they decided the best way to sell that was to spice up the name.
That doesn't seem to have worked though since I don't think many copies of this game exist, I've never seen it before. Ironically that makes it one of the harder to find Famicom games out there and thus the focus of a lot of attention among Famicom collectors. Out of more than 33,000 Famicom items up for auction right now, this one is near the top on Yahoo Auctions "most paid attention to" listing, and is the number one Disk System game. Its currently got a bid of 3433 Yen with 3 days left, I'm curious how much it will go for. I'm not a disk system guy, or a sexy guy, so I'll pass, but thought it was kind of interesting nonetheless.
Postscript: The auction for this ended at 30,501 Yen, about 300$ US!
Not a Disk System guy? I'm not passing judgement here, but I'm super curious about your opinions on the old FDS. It's one of my favorite things about the Famicom, but disks are too expensive for me to import to the US regularly.
ReplyDeleteMy main reason for not being an FDS guy is actually just because I've had so many break on me due to the belts being old. Its not a hard repair, but a hassle so I never really got into it too much. I haven't used an FDS in about 7-8 years, I have one in storage that will probably work (likely with a belt replacement) and might get back into it someday!
DeleteThat makes sense. I got lucky and my first (and only) attempt at a belt replacement worked perfectly the first time, but I usually just use an FDSStick
Deletenow when I want to play a Disk game.
Cool! I also have Twin Famicom (with a broken belt) which I intend to fix up and start using again someday :)
DeleteMe niether, not a Disk-system guy, even I like charming Disk-kun though^-^ I own only around 30 disk-games, compared to 930 FC loose carts in my collection. How many FC carts and FDS games you have right now??
ReplyDeleteI like Disk Kun too. I can't even remember how many FDS games I still have, I sold a lot of them a few years ago. I know I kept SMB 2 and Doki Doki Panic but can't remember if I saved anything else!
