Just got back from Funcoland. My poor wallet...

Nope. How sick is this: The games are actually encoded right on the card. It's not even magnets. There are strips of dots printed along the top and bottom edges of the cards. Really tiny dots. You have to strain to see them individually. Those dots apparently mean something to the reader. It's actuall game data. Or furniture data or texture data or whatever.

Badass. This sounds like a purchase.

That e-card reader is pretty cool, I know some people here who are going to get that just for Balloon Fight

Ten swipes... man that must be annoying... so can someone answer my question? Can you pick what NES game you want when you buy an NES 5 card pack?

**Grenouille** · 18 Sep 2002, 06:08 PM

Yes, you get to pick which game... it is clearly stated on the package as to what game you are buying. I recommend tennis. I almost didn't buy it, but then i thought, "hey, it's only $5", and so far it's gotten the most play time. Challenging and fun.

Hey thanks man... Since grenouille means frog, I thought it was fitting

So far, I have DK Jr. and Balloon Fight... tonight, I will get more, and probably Castlevania, while I continue to rent AC... I will own you next week, I promise!

*mouth hanging open*

That sounds SO FUCKING COOL! I hadn't cared at all about the E-reader, and didn't even really know what it did, but now I have to own it! That is slick!
