fcgamer | 5,020 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) I started going through my rather small collection of unauthorized Famicom games made by a company we'll refer to as NTG. Historically, some of my collector friends in Taiwan would refer to these cartridges as "NIG" cartridges, but I think they're reading the imprinted letters wrong and I personally think it's more likely to be NTG. Thoughts on what this could mean though? A manufacturer's name? NinTendo Game? Something else? Anyways, a lot of these games have ID numbers on the back, so I thought we might as well start a list to document these, for future reference. If anyone has anything to add, please do so, and I'll add it to the main list below. Game List (Numbered, Generic label): V-??? City Connection V-006 Baseball V-040 Star Force V-047 Wrecking Crew V-048 Flappy V-058 10-Yard Fight V-059 Battle City V-060 Super Mario Bros. V-063 Route 16 Turbo V-081 Binary Land Game List (No number, generic label): Onyanko Town Hogan's Alley Pac-Land Mach Rider Super Mario Bros. Battle City 20 in 1 Penguin-kun Wars Challenger Baltron Macross Kinnikuman: MUSCLE Tag Match TwinBee Game List (no number, non-generic label): Goonies Seicross Balloon Fight Tetris (BPS) Tennis Mappy Kage no Densetsu GeGeGe no Kitarou F-1 Race Wrecking Crew Lode Runner Mahjong Spartan X StarForce Tower of Druaga Edited September 10 by fcgamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 5,145 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Ooof...choices, but now that you've done that, I was debating this with him before some days back, I felt it was NTG but I didn't have as nice an image or a blow up. Seeing that arc clearly off the N to the right I'm inclined to call it NJG. If it were a T I would think the slope odd and the lower line to keep the bars consistent would stop at the bottom of the maybe T or parallel to the top line of the T yet not touching the N as it would otherwise be sloppy (not that pirates would care.) U isn't a comfy fit, the I would be strange too again with the curve. I still think it's the T but if not that now I'm thinking J is possible. I feel compelled to start popping around a few places again to see if I can dig up something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcgamer | 5,020 Posted August 20 Author Share Posted August 20 Just found a few more of these while cleaning out! 10-Yard Fight and Super Mario Bros. were added to the list with numbers. Also added a few without numbers. As you can see, there are a few titles that overlap. Let's keep 'em coming folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
