Woow!
Hello folks!
Yes yes, the same for me --- Castlevania III was a hit in my life!
Thanks God I had in my hometown here in Brazil a rental shop
who have bought around 100 NES games, all original in cases
with manual. So, I was able to play all great NES games
back in 1992, 1993. Because you know... Living in a small
town, and outside USA, is quite difficult sometimes to
get all game releases and so on.
Other thing that makes me have tears in the eyes, was when
I was renting Final Fantasy I! My mom and dad ever wanted
me to play only in the weekends, and I remember when was
out to deliver the game to the shop in a monday... and got
a tricky idea!
I came back home with the game hidden in my clothes, and
used to play during all that week in the middle of the night,
when everybody was asleep, until finish the game.
Oh, all my savings were gone to be renting a game for
so many days.
PS. Thanks to NES and Famicom I learnt all english
and japanese laguage I know today!
