Lucky, been after that for a while
Hopefully the person delivers, because I've been let down three times now!
Sim Ant
Pirates (Original)
and some other game I forgot
Had to get my money back through paypal on each one
Congrats on the Famicom!! I bought one from Japan and it also took 6 days to arrive! Couldn't believe it. I RGB modded mine and its unbelievable how good games look in RGB. Best mod i ever done to any of my consoles.
What's the console on the left, is it a Dev kit Famicom?
The game inserted reminds me of Resident Evil 5?

Chaos Engine.
Is it just the Amiga version that's sought after.
Pretty sure I have the PC version in a cupboard back at my parents place.

It's a Twin Famicom (or Famicom Twin can't remember exactly) and is made by Sharp iirc. It is a Famicom and Famicom Disk in one machine.
As Deo_volente pointed out, Its a Sharp Twin Famicom. Its an official licensed system and combines a Famicom & the Famicom disc system into one unit.
In Japan numerous games were released on Famicom Disk. This is Legend of Zelda running off disk. The disks are double sided, some games would take up side a/b or you could have a different game either side if it would fit.
Unfortunatly i'm thinking of selling it as i don't play it much any more due to RGB modding my AV famicom.
The cart that you mentioned is a Chinese Famiclone cart with 400 games on. They must have thought it would be cool to put the resident evil 5 cover on the cart lol.

After several weeks waiting (and being caught by customs) my shockboxes have finally arrived.
Now I just need to move around my shelves to make room for them.
Nice job, I really like the red/white ones they have. How do you find the quality of the art work, are the images good quality?
Sadly, I find the quality can be a bit hit and miss sometimes, still, doesn't stop me buying them.
Got them out and my shelves readjusted.
Got a bit of a colour mismatch on some of them sadly, seems i picked the wrong artwork. Also got to do something about the holes in the wall now.

Those shelves are really neat looking. Where did you get them from?
Thought I'd ask this.
Does anyone know a shop that sells alternative SNES cart boxes?
The games I've got coming my way don't have any boxes, but back in the day I did hate the original cardboard containers, things got damaged so easily.
Was wondering if anyone sold something a little more robust, like Shockboxes
