There are too many amazing Famicase designs ⊟ 

I wanted to feature my favorites from this year’s My Famicase Exhibition – the annual showcase of Famicom cartridge designs for made up games, hosted by Tokyo game shop Meteor – but there are too many splendid pieces to pick from. By the time I got through half of the designs posted on Twitter with the Famicase hashtag, the number of open tabs I had threatened to crash my web browser, so here are ten standout cartridges I’ve found so far, including a number from friends of the site we’ve talked about here before.

The artists we’ve featured above, starting from the top left: Duncan Corrigan,  @pyong_pyong, Adam Tierney, Austin DuBois, William Greenawalt,  Philip Summers, Jordan Rosenberg, Sebastien, @data_doge, and Cory Schmitz.

Meteor will have around 250 Famicase designs up for display at its gallery until May 13. It’s my dream to one day make it to one of these, so if you’re in the area, please do not miss this opportunity to pay Meteor a visit!

Senritsu Kaiki File Kowasugi: The Game (RPG Maker) This is a mockup I've had in my sketchbook for a while and thought it'd be fun to finally draw. I had it in mind when I first started watching the Files and by the time I got to #6 I was way too into the idea of a Shiraishi RPG :,))

The Labyrinth at Nishimori (西森の迷路) 1990, Nintendo Famicom

A graphic adventure horror game for Famicom. A group of friends become separated during a week-long hiking trip through a great forest called Nishimori. As one of the unlucky teens, you find that you’re more than lost–the forest itself has turned against you! When your friends begin to come back from the darkness of the labyrinth, you’ll wish they had stayed lost.

Gameplay takes place over five in-game days–wander aimlessly and you’ll run out of time. Can you solve Nishimori’s riddles and escape, or will you join your friends in the forest forever?

So, I was trying to think of more stuff to draw to finish off the day, and I figured I might as well draw some Black Skies, given it’s relatively quick to do thanks to the style!

The Zelda-y influence is pretty clear from this pic, tho to be fair, the mood such a hypothetical game would go for combined with the sources of inspiration would mean those’d work well together.

@gamesthatdontexist, I think you’d dig this…
