Unauthorized Famicom Games by NTG (Games List)

[fcgamer | 4,965]

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.

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.

VGS contest anyone? Name the company by choosing one of the letter combinations above?

Here's a few others possibilities:

National Taiwan Gaming

Nintendo Taiwan Gaming

T for technology?

Nintendo TV Games

National TV Games

Nintendo Television Gaming?

Nice to see this list has legs. Just added Baseball and Battle City!

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!
