I bought this for one reason and that was the fact that it has a historic piece of hardware on the inside: the official nintendo famicom to NES game adaptor. In the early days of the NES, Nintendo had a bunch of famicom games that had been reworked with english text, but when they decided to pit in the 10NES lockout chip inside the original NES they ended up having to widen the rom board so that the chip in the cartridge could talk to the chip in the system. End result: wider game boards. As a money saving technique for the first run of nintendo games. They decided to use the pre existing famicom boards that had been reprogrammed and make an adaptor for them to work with the nes. These adaptors were put inside the cartridge itself and ultimately made the NES cartridges much larger than their japanese famicom counterparts. And thats why i bought this item. Because of an interesting bit of videogame history.Read full review

We all know that Excitebike is THE best motocross game ever released for the Nintendo Entertainment System. With it's superior 8-bit graphics, and catchy intro jingle, one can get lost on that dirt track for hours, oftentimes neglecting basic human functions such as eating or caring for children. But not only does this cartridge contain that noblest of two-wheeled amusements, but it can also be disassembled to play an endless library of Japan-only releases for the Nintendo Family Computer. No more towering game-carts, nearly eclipsing your choice Famiclone – now you can have a janky-looking circuit board adding a cyberpunk element to your gaming. The only downside is that the Famicom cartridges feel the need to face backwards, as if looking away in embarrassment of the ridiculous jury-rigged adapter. Regardless, the ability to curse and cry when your party is slaughtered by a pack of Warg Wolves in Final Fantasy I makes the lack of aesthetics negligible.Read full review

It felt very good and very nostalgic to play this game for the first time in several years!! I am guessing ExciteBike on the Nintendo NES was used as one of the precursors to some of the other sports video games made by Nintendo, Sega, MicroSoft, etc..!! 👏👍

I got the game for my husband. After working with it for 5 mins I really thought it wasn't working then bam it came on. Nintendo's are fickle and hard to work. My husband loves it and has competitions with his kids.
