Like you said, the boxes are cool (esp. Baseball).<br /><br />I would have bought complete copies of DK Jr Math and Popeye English, but they're EXPENSIVE! Actually, I haven't seen a boxed copy of DK Jr. Math yet, but the one boxed copy I've seen of Popeye English was over $100.

Unfortunately they are cart only. <br /><br />I'd suggest getting boxed versions of them as I think you can get those two for reasonable prices boxed (and the boxes look cool, especially Baseball). If you want to trade or something though, well, the offer is there:)Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-56988276688767263632010-11-01T17:46:13.871-07:002010-11-01T17:46:13.871-07:00That's too bad re: the bigger boxes.

I really like the tiny ones that house the pulse line carts :)<br /><br />Speaking of which, three more pulse line games are on their way to me: Devil World (complete), DK Jr. Math (loose) and Popeye English (loose). I'm going to hunt down Baseball and Golf after my b-day.Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-73066413066063572010-11-01T17:33:22.213-07:002010-11-01T17:33:22.213-07:00Yeah, I like the fact that they are small.

At least not when it comes to Famicom box size.<br /><br />Good luck with getting the whole set!Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-44107081786859834022010-10-31T18:35:41.797-07:002010-10-31T18:35:41.797-07:00Hey there Sean!

Honestly, the boxes were the main reason I finally decided to pick up the pulse line games.<br /><br />I have to say, I was completely surprised at how *small* the boxes and the carts were/are. The boxes especially surprised me, as they're basically the same size as the cartridges. (There's no packaging or stuffing around the cart -- each box contains just the cart, a manual and maybe a flier.)Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-31598670554744521382010-10-31T18:23:27.734-07:002010-10-31T18:23:27.734-07:00Love that photo.

Especially the cardboard ones (the plastic ones that Namco made aren't worth the bother). <br /><br />Those pulse line cart boxes are probably the best. Hence my previously noted jealousy!Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-34446938857866133122010-10-31T15:40:49.830-07:002010-10-31T15:40:49.830-07:00That's very interesting, Starfighter!

Is it because they're cheaper, or you don't really care if they have the packaging, etc?<br /><br />Although I definitely want complete PC Engine games at this point, I definitely won't be buying many more complete Famicom carts. They're just too expensive, plus I don't really feel the need to own the boxes, etc., for most of the games I want.Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-51911327976986962122010-10-31T15:06:29.440-07:002010-10-31T15:06:29.440-07:00It's different for different consoles for me, ...It's different for different consoles for me, I don't really know why. I prefer loose games to NES, PC Engine and Gameboy (I'm turning down complete ones all together in those cases) and at the same time I can pay $10 extra for a Saturn-shooter if it has the spinecard.Starfighternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-8877051550669466572010-10-28T15:36:45.716-07:002010-10-28T15:36:45.716-07:00See, that's what I'm trying to do with thi...See, that's what I'm trying to do with this blog -- bring us all together :) (LOL!)Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-20419143829357543452010-10-28T15:16:23.008-07:002010-10-28T15:16:23.008-07:00lol, that making me feel good, cuz i know i'm ...lol, that making me feel good, cuz i know i'm not the only one like this :DNuts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00281336758017564804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-37138696207450318512010-10-28T12:13:19.642-07:002010-10-28T12:13:19.642-07:00Yeah, I hear you.
