It does exist in the VC version. I bought the VC version just to be able to go re visit the minus world

I know that I recently saw an article that says that the minus world does indeed have an ending, you can get to -2 and -3. I saw an actual map / guide. Can't seem to find it any longer though.

The Minus World has an ending on the Famicom Disk System?! Heh, at least there's more variety then the NES Minus World.

Some day -- though probably at least a decade from now -- someone will dump the raw contents of these "diskettes" (or even entire Game Paks) and through complex herculean feats of holodeck-like computation, be able to create a tool that will process the media-shifted contents of these games and allow an ordinary user -- an average Joe like you or me -- to experience an interactive "simulation" of what it would be like to play these so called Minus Worlds in the comfort of our own computer rooms.

Now, I know, I know.... this is all pie in the sky nonsense, but I swear I have a friend who's father works at a computer lab in Nevada under contract with the government and they have stuff like this. (Then again he also says he thinks we got the technology from aliens, so, I dunno...)

He says some day he's gonna get his dad to give me a tour and I'll be able to see Mike Tyson's Punch Out! on a really huge 20" screen and playable with the knobs on the front of the machine while an NES sits POWERED OFF in the corner and not even hooked up. I call balderdash on that, but he swears up and down he saw it himself.

Fortyseven, they call in "Emulation". It's nothing new. In fact, that's what the VC is. =P

Fortyseven, was that a joke? Well, download NESticle to play NES games on your computer or SNES9X for SNES games (though downloading games for these apps is illegal). And 20" isn't huge at all ;)
