Hi All
I am looking to buy a Nintendo Famicom to cure my arcade cravings. Does anyone know of anywhere in South Africa that may be able to help? Preferably with two controllers and cartridges.
Thanks

Why not use emulators?

Hi Deshni, man that old famicom looks good!
Ponder is right though emulators on a computer will save you time and money.
Your in luck though, i have no idea where you stay but those R5 Chinese stores all sell 8bit famicom consoles with games.
They normally include 2 controllers with extras like the light gun with a 1-million in one game cartridge for around R80-120
Most of them also stock the Cartridges at between R5-15 rand each.
Alternatively you can go to a Checkers supermarket, they sell 8 and 16bit systems quite cheaply.
The consoles will either look like knock-off Wii's or Playstation1 2,3 consoles.

Our ones were called Golden China. I still have a 42 in 1 cart, wondering if it will work on one of the newer clones.

Oh man, brings back memories, esp the sounds in Front Line:
Tee-too, tee-too, tee-too, tee-too, tee-too, tee-too - tish - tish - tee-too, tee-too, tee-too, tee-too, tee-too, etc...
But damn, the rage when you got all the way through an area and that nasty little tin-can death-trap tank was waiting for you instead of the big one!
Good 'ol days of gaming ...

A lot of the old titles are availble on the Virtual Console on a Wii, which is pretty cheap lately
Check bidorbuy or scamtree. Saw one a couple of weeks ago going for around R500
