Nintendo's games have gotten MUCH more complicated (e.g. better) since I last saw them (there's only a couple of places in town that carry them, and I don't shop at them too often). I bought two Xmas's ago, when they first came out, and a friend bought two others: The one I have is also a game and clock. The game involves a juggler, whose hands have three positions: \ / \___ ___/ _____ _____ You are juggling two balls (in game A), and the game gets progressively faster. You get one point per catch, and when you get 280 pts., all of a sudden you get 4 balls. The game goes until you drop one. Game B is similar, only you start with three balls, get 10 pts. per ball, and get 6 balls when you hit 2800 pts. The other games were "fireman fireman", where you catch people jumping out of a building into a net, and throw them in the ambulance; and some other game where you operate a little guy with a hammer who brains these little animals crawling out of holes in the ground. --Dave Curry ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
