Today’s Featured Ebay Auction reaches back to the good old days of classic gaming. Today we have the Famicom Game Transformers: Mystery Of Convoy by seller japan_canada.
In the 1980’s, very few Transformers video games were released. None were released for mainstream game systems in North America, though there was a Commadore64 game. In Japan, a game was released for the Famicom, the Japanese counterpart to the Nintendo Entertainment System. The game was called Transformers: Convoy no Nazo, more commonly called The Mystery of Convoy. In it, you play as Ultra Magnus on his quest to find Convoy (Optimus Prime). The game is known for being extremely difficult.

Wha… you ain't Omegus… what the hell, man…
… damn, I left off [/sarcasm] again… sorry, Joe. If I wanted THAT kind of frustration, I'd tie my hands behind my back and watch porn.
I wouldn't touch this game with YOUR 10 ft pole.
Now, Prelude to Energon… THAT was a pleasant surprize… and kinda hard.

If you like really challenging platforming with cheap deaths, then you might dig this. The levels get better as the game goes on, but it never rises above mediocrity. If nostalgia can carry you through stuff, then it might be worth it. But again, it's not a great game by any stretch.

This is my 3rd favourite AVGN episode. He declares it to be the hardest game he's ever beaten.
Would love to see Omegus post in this thread because he did a review of it too.

Looks like someone bought it. The seller has been relisting it for at least 6 months now. The TFW bump is certainly worth something!

This is just fun! Frankly got any TF games for GameBoy?

I need an expert opinion on whether or not to splurge on this game, and I need one I can trust… OMEGUS!!!! Whadaya think? Should I buy this?

That's actually kind of tempting, with the packaging and everything. I know it's just "it's transformers!" but it's 25 year old japanese "it's transformers!".

…… If I did buy it, I would seriously just smash it with a hammer…. This game gave me a hard time…. More then AVGN.

That's a pretty good deal for it, considering it has all the ancillary materials.
But yeah, this game is relentless.

YouTube – mystery of convoy
Plenty of vids there to get a feel for the game.

Would love to see some gameplay snap shots of this game.

I've bought from this seller before. Really fast shipping from Japan. Also helps that they only sell authentic Famicom games (watch out for the fakes on eBay!)
Joe Moore
I hope one day to find the Headmasters game to feature. That's much, much rarer as it was for the Famicom Disk System.

Whoever purchases this, please take out some Life Insurance on yourself, especially if you plan on playing it,

so I guess this is the Megaman of Transformers games…as in it's extremely hard…
