hi there. I have an italian friend just moved to tokyo and he read/speak well japanese.
I will ask his help to buy for me some rare carts.
Can you suggest me some rare cart of this kind :
  • driving games
    war arcade games
    arcade games à la Mappy
    war strategy game
    space shoot em up games
that are worth a purchase ?
May be I can also sell you some games ( he deliver to Milan and then I re-dispatch ) just an idea. My friend live in Akihabara so it should be easy for him ... I hope so.
Any other system ?

The best place for buy it's outside Tokyo in the big second hand stores. Akihabara have better prices that ebay but it's "expensive" (when i went 2 years ago a full boxed famicom 12000 yen, when at these stores you can get it from 4000yen-5000yen)
Forget about megadrive games (really expensive in all stores)

One game I really want is the Famicom version of mr. Gimmick.

Actually I would want 2 copies:
- CIB copy for scanning and owning.
- Loose cart to be converted into Englisified famicom cart with the additional sound channels. (Still Famicom cart but just in English with the additional sound channels).

Same goes for Castlevania 3.

That surprises me about the mega drive games, here the genesis games are dirt cheap .  If you want a game and it's on snes and gens, the gens cib is almost always cheaper than lose snes
