.... or something.

Well, as MSX fanatics we're all big fan of Konami games, not?! Sure as hell I am!
I thought I had now seen all Konami games or at least heard of... but then I found this funny one:
http://video.google.nl/videoplay?docid=8985478088751271491&q=konami
it's a time attack on a konami game called Wai Wai World, by Konami 1988 on Nintendo platform.
check the vid and scan through those 35 minutes of fun...

is it Vampire Killer? Is it the Goonies? or wait, can it be Kingkong ? Twinbee perhaps?
it's all there! the player can choose between various characters (which he/she has to set free at first). Each character comes with it's own musical tune, and even some familiar gfx here and there... now wait a darn minute... isn't that.. jup, it's simon belt and more Konami friends.

Have fun, I know I did.

WOW what a game!!! is that on msx???

Sorry to disappoint you both, it Famicon

what's the difference between famicom and nintendo?

nintendo is the maker of the famicom (like sony is maker of the playstation, and microsoft is maker of the xbox)

Hello MeitsNearDark,

Famicom (Family Computer) is the name of the 8 bit Nintendo console for japanese market and NES (Nintendo Entertaiment System) is the name of this system for Europe and America. Is the same system with the typical design differences for each market. As Patsie said, Nintendo is the maker.

Bye!

oh yeah, I forget to mention Samurai (goemon), also featured in this game!
wicked!

Contra/Gryzor is there also (see the final boss) and I even sensed some Metal Gear flavour at the very end, when the main character has to get to his ship while there's some emergency counter counting down

BUT DO YOU HAVE A RED SHARP TWIN FAMICOM WITH DISKDRIVE TOO ?


Apart from the huge design difference, the famicom (for sure the prettiest of the 2)
also has a microphone built in one of the controllers, which enables you to shout some
stuff and hear it on tv...as rumoured, some games used speech recognition (zelda)
but I am not sure.

RUN MARIO YOU FAT BASTARD !!!!!

That microphone is just a 1 bit level detector, not a speech recognizer or being able to hear yourself on tv. Very few games used it, most notably indeed the Japanese Zelda, where you can kill the 'Pols Voice' enemies if you shout into it.

ahaaaaaaa !!!... the NES didn't have such a thing did it ?
though it would have been great if the thing was just a mike,
you could have encouraged mario to get off his lazy italian ass ^_^

I have an originail famicom and disksystem boxed buyed at ebay at time and both from japan.i cant collect all type of systems of same type of computer/console because not enhough space in my room

The controlers are buildt in. There is a port on front where you can connect a gun or keyboard witch famicom basic.You can also connect a tape reader on famicom .And you can program games on it 0_o;;

i believe it has the best en smallest desing of alle gameconsols until now .

some of the games i talked about are now on ebay

need a new copy of dracula - kun XD
