Castlevania 3 Contest

[Castlevania 3 Contest]

I do remember that contest, but I would think that they probably canceled the contest on this citing the unrest in Romania or substituted a different prize. Most contests, in their official rules, cite that they are allowed to do so at their discretion.

[Poisoning our youth]

Comedian Denis Leary had a great point about people suing Judas Priest in the 80's:

 

"That's great. We've set a legal precedent, does that mean I can sue Dan Fogleberg for making me into a pussy in the mid 70's?"

 

"Let me see if I get this straight. Heavy metal fans are buying heavy metal records, taking the records home, listening to the records, and then blowing their heads off with shotguns? Where's the problem? That's an unemployment solution for you right there, it's natural selection, it's the bottom of the fucking food chain. I think there should be more messages on the records... "Kill the band, kill your parents, then kill yourself. Just make sure you get your whole head in front of the shotgun." Thank you for calling!"

[NES Zapper games? (please advise!)]

Barker Bill's Trick Shooting is another one.

[Anyone here ever play Tokyo Wars?]

LUV Tanks!

Fun for me at the time....been years tho!

I think they have it at Dave & Busters in Westlake Ohio still.

Will give it a spin next time I go.

 

Unfortunately, they don't have it there anymore. Sorry.

[N64 Question!]

You could get an input splitter from Radio Shack or Best Buy. It'll give you an additional input or two (or five, depending on the model).

 

If you hook it up thru the dvd player, you might have a slight degradation in sound/picture quality. But it's something to think about.

[Question on pawn shops]

A lot of it depends on the Pawn Shop really.

 

For the most part (at least here in Ohio), chain ones will not take anything less than PS2. Most of the independent shops will follow that precedent as well (very rarely will you find anything older).

 

Granted, I've seen a few NES carts lying around here and there, but that's really about the oldest I've seen. It is buyer beware though, some of the places where the stuff comes from can be pretty skeevy.

 

It doesn't hurt to ask if the shop owner has a few lying around in the back, as you might get lucky. But you might be better off at thrift stores/Goodwill/and the like, or stores that specialize in the classics.
