Nintendo - Famicom Disk System Japan undumped
ozidual, talking about what Family Basic tapes were released:
Hudson worked with Shonen Jump I believe to release 3 sets. The first one had a book with a single cassette that had 10 games 2nd had a book and 2 cassettes. The first cassette had 10 games I believe and the 2nd cassette had 99 levels for Lode Runner Famicom 3rd had a book but was more a strategy guide for other games. The cassette was mostly audio with strats. There was only 1 game on the other side of the cassette, a simple dice one. Then there is Game Pochette which I believe was released by the Program Pochette Magazine people (part of Technopolis?) That had 20+ games on a single cassette I believe. That was a long one. There there was a cassette I saw go for I think $150 that I believe was tied to BEEP magazine (later MegaDrive magazine). I think it had 10+ games on it. There's also How to Program Family Basic Games or something like that, which was a book teaching Family Basic. You could send in cash and get a cassette with all the programming on it. A few games at the end. Finally, there are two more books in that same series: Game Game 20 and Lets Sing With Family Basic, both which came either as a single book or with a cassette. The Game Game 20 one seems very rare. I've seen images but never on sale. The Lets Sing With Family Basic has been up for sale for $90 on Yahoo Auctions forever. The books that come with them have all of the games/music on the tapes already.

Found an old site with a bunch of not-for-resale Famicom games listed, no idea if they've been secured already: http://beraboman.fc2web.com/hibaihin.htm

I think the unique games have, only some of the variations of commonly available games are dumped. Gradius Archimendes, All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros. I've read the Exed Exes is literally just a sticker sent to high score winners so they could place it over the original label, so that's really just a normal retail copy as far as we should be concerned. It is known that one Rockman 4 Gold Cartridge is owned by a game shop (seen in Game Center CX) keeping it as a display piece and they won't sell it even if someone offered to pay their crazy listed price (like $6,000). STUDY BOX is the other crazy rare educational software package that I don't think is dumped, and may even only have one low-quality video showing it off, if it is what I'm thinking of.
