Any interest in my Pirate Original Famicarts?

I still have two Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children carts, one Zelda: The Minish Cap, and one Seiken Densetsu / Sword of Mana cart. All are complete and include a manual. Just wondering. I'm not in any hurry to sell them, but I'd like to get rid of them for a fair price, since eBay won't let me sell them there.

Anyone?

  • Post some screen shots or gameplay video and you might get some interest.



    I know that a lot of these pirate games are TERRIBLE, but some might be worth playing.

    Can't say without seeing the goods, though.
  • I would be interested, send me a PM with pics! thanks - phil

    Well I can't post any videos, I don't have my capturing rig setup at the moment. But I can point you towards Derrick Sobodash's review of FF7 (which was where the review originated).

    I do have pictures of the carts themselves, but I can't record video at the moment. I'll post the pictures later today.
  • well, if you can take photos, snap a few of something in-game please.
  • Sword of Mana / Seiken Densetsu

    What's it include: Game cart, case, manual.

    How's it play: I have no idea, I couldn't get out of the first screen.
    Game text entirely in Chinese. Based on Sword of Mana, the GBA Seiken
    Densetsu (Secret of Mana) remake.

    The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap

    What's it include: Game cart, case, manual.

    How's it play: It's a turn-based RPG! It plays sorta like Phantasy Star
    IV (Genesis) in that you're at the bottom and your enemies are on the
    top half of the screen. The game is actually quite playable and it
    looks like a pretty decent game. Again, entirely in Chinese.

    Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children.
    What's it include: Game cart, case, manual.

    How's it play: Like a really evil 1980's PC RPG. But the cart works.

    I actually have -two- copies. One of the copies is mint. The other copy has two bits of damage: The lower left corner of the
    case, in the back, is chipped off. And, the battery inside the cart
    came loose, so the game plays, but it won't save your game. The damage can be easily fixed by someone with a solder gun
    and some ingenuity.


    I did a bit of searching on Youtube and found these videos:

    Zelda: The Minish Cap -
    Advent Children - (please ignore the narration.)

    I couldn't find anything related to Seiken Densetsu.
  • I'm confused, is the Sword of Mana game based on Seiken Densetsu (the old Final Fantasy Adventure, which is in fact the prequel to Secret of Mana), or something newer based on Secret of Mana?
  • sword of mana is its own game. Part of the mana series but not a remake. It was an ok game, not nearly as good as secret of mana. not as good as legend of mana.



    If the FFVII was ever available translated id buy one.

    Um. Sword of Mana was a remake of the first Seiken Densetsu game - which was released in the US as Final Fantasy Adventure.

    So this is a "demake" Famiclone port of a GBA remake of a Game Boy game. ;p

    (Whee I just made up a word!)
  • ok, that's what I thought. You referenced a GBA game, and I wasn't familiar with the remake.





    Too bad these are all in Chinese.
  • Yeah, that's the bad thing.



    These are mostly collector's items, unless the person knows Traditional Chinese. ^^; I appreciate the interest, though!
