I haven't played them all yet, but other games of theirs I'd recommend (besides RCR which everyone should have tried by now ) would be
Nekketsu Koukou Dodgeball Bu: PC Bangai (PC Engine) and Ike Ike! Nekketsu Hockey Bu for Famicom. Soccer Hen (Nintendo World Cup) is also excellent but I haven't tried all the ports
Is this listing complete/accurate? I can't find the Genesis port of Nekketsu Soccer on any rh0msites or ebay. It is however listed on gamefaqs so it could be rare and/or undumped. Also it seems the GBA port of Dodgeball would not have been developed by them since they went under before GBA was concieved, I believe.
Last question, is there any place one can buy Famicom cartridges on the internet for non-ridiculous prices? Since it seems many of their games did not make it to the USA and all the NES emulators I've tried have weird scrolling and/or flickering problems
The list looks quite complete from I can tell although I'm by no means a big Nekketsu fan, or even a Nekketsu fan at all.
There is indeed a Nekketsu Soccer game on the MD. It's by Palsoft and the idiots who specialize in ROM nomenclature called it High School Soccer - Kunio Kun.
The GBA Nekketsu Dodgeball game is known as Super Dodgeball Advance in the US. Technos had nothing to do with it as you suspected; Atlus already acquired the license by then and as with River City Ransom also on the GBA, Atlus made it themselves.

Actually, that's not entirely true. The GBA Nekketsu Dodgeball, Double Dragon Advance, and River City Ransom GBA were designed by Million, a company with former Technos employees. I think Atlus does own them, though. That list doesn't take into account that the GB b/w Nekkestu soccer was released in the US as Nintendo World Cup like the NES one and one of the GB Nekkestu games was changed into Double Dragon II for the US.
It lists all the Nekketsu games, just not all the Technos games.
I'm a big Technos fan, I even own the arcade Super Dodge Ball down in my basement (before I even knew what the Nekketsu games were). I've been thinking of selling it though because I'm moving in a couple of months
The GB port of Nintendo World Cup is really awesome, I was surprised how sharp the game played in relation to the NES original.
Have you bought RCR EX yet? It's a great remake (different dialogue and items...I like buying the emo CD ) and a must-have for the GBA. Only bad thing about it is the confusing Save system.

Fucking badass, Sage. We need to have a VA shmupmeet
I'll definitely get EX once I get a gba...
What technos games do you know of that weren't kunio/nekketsu? I know they did the Double Dragon games...
Ganelon - Thanks for the tip on the rh0mz nomenclature. Found it ^_^
Brian - Yeah, they did leave out the GB Nintendo world cup it seems. I've had that game since I was around six I think, made for badass multiplayer back in the day.
Technos made the three NES Double Dragons, Super/Return of Double Dragon, and the first two Double Dragon arcade games. They didn't make the arcade Double Dragon III. Technos also made a Popeye volleyball game for Game Gear, Superspike V-ball, Combattribes and some others.

I need to get that adapter. I have the NES two in one cartridge with both Nintendo World Cup and Super Spike V-Ball. I like how the original names are intact in both versions of Nintendo World Cup. It's very nifty seeing Riki and Kunio on the Japan team.
