Hi Guys, (1st Post)
I'm Darren, 38 and from the UK. I've been a Fan of the NES since it was originally released and was lucky to get one for my Christmas present the Year it was released.
I've recently bought a Famicom, I've been in my element playing playable Japanese exclusive games, I love all the 8-bit sounds and graphics (In general) I guess its because it what I grew up on.
I've just ordered a Famicom Basic Family computer as I wanted to play around on it.
I've used Basic many years ago on the Tandy TRS-80. Tbh, that obsorbed most of my time as a growing up youngster.
I did write many little programs and have a very basic understanding of it (baring in mind, I really was just a child/kid)
So, Please may I ask, where do I start with the Famicom computer to have a bit of fun with it? I speak around 7 words of Japanese, so, original books will help for the Basic commands, but I wouldnt be able to read and learn the Japanese parts.
I understand that BASIC is quite universal, but I'm not 100% sure this is the case for the Famicom, as it has a cart and is a slight Variant?
Any advice is greatly appreciated and in the mean-time, I'll browse around this site as it looks fab.
Thank You.
