/\  I prefer the label on yours    I can't make out "??  Edition" (hard to tell if it says "special")

[manuel]

I know.
I could tell from the label. But I thought maybe you put it somewhere, forgot it, and then found it again.

I love it, it's so 80s cheesy.

Got one of these (hopefully without any label issues like the one in this image, but the auction pic is somewhat blurry).



Not sure what they're worth, but the price I got seemed fair to me:  http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=320354478407

[manuel]

That's an ok price.

It makes me wonder though...all of his other auctions seem to have clearer pictures.  It's probably nothing to be concerned about though.  Just wanted to point it out.

/\  He said in the auction it is 10 out of 10 perfect, so it should be good.  He probably didn't realize the photo was crap until he uploaded it and didn't bother taking another one.

Got this on ebay for $3. 

[FamicomFreak]

Play n Trade called me up earlier with a game from my want list that someone traded in ($4.49 + tax = good deal me thinks).  Hopefully it works though... I haven't tested it yet, but worked it out of a poop shell a moment ago (and got a metal strip out from the pin cavity).  I kept the sticker on the back that warns if I remove it that I will have to pay for the "movie."--I actually like old rental stickers on games.  Writing however drives me nuts--thankfully this has none.

I really liked this game on the SNES as a kid, but I've never played the NES version of it. 



EDIT:  And I just noticed this (yes, I know, how juvenile of me )...







EDIT 2:  I also got a Zoomer controller in the mail yesterday (from Atari2600.com), but the A and B buttons wouldn't function.  I ended up taking it all apart and finding out it was a simple repair as expected.  Gave me the chance to clean it up better too.  Seems to work perfectly now.  I've only tried it with Rad Racer thus far, but will try one of the flying games later (top gun, captain skyhawk, etc.).
