Well it seems as though stan beat be to it..but...

 

1. Night Driver - D

2. Stellar Track - R

3. Gunslinger - U

4. International Soccer - I

5. Enduro - D

 

1. Hangman - H

2. Tutankham - A

3. Blackjack - L

4. Warlords - L

5. Ghostbusters - O

6. Towering Inferno - W

7. Venture - E

8. Adventure - E

9. Kangaroo - N

 

So the question becomes: Druid Halloween?

 

Well you could want the fact that it is often referred to as Summer's End ("Samhain"). Or, you could want to know the fact that it is generally "celebrated" on October 31st. Or that many Christians believe you shouldn't celebrate Halloween because you are essentially workshipping the devil. :D

 

Cap

 

Note: Technically Stan is incorrect because he lists one of the games as Black Jack instead of Blackjack. ;)

PakratVG RULES!

 

I redeemed my prize and the games just arrived today.

 

For my $30, I picked up:

 

Keytsone Kapers (great label)

Oink! (very good label)

Smurf: Gargamel's Castle (great label)

Gangster Alley (PERFECT label)

 

Not a bad haul for sitting on my tookus and unscrambling some Video Game titles!

 

THANKS A MILLION Packrat VG!

 

And I HIGHLY recommend EVERYONE go check out Packrat's store and site!

PackRat --

 

I like your site. The idea of scanning the games is awesome. I like really great labels and the problem with so many Internet stores, trades, and any bulk Ebay buy is that you never really know what you are getting label-wise. I'm sure it is a pain, but it is worth it for the consumer and a real incentive to buy (do you think you will do it for the Colecovision games?).

 

Take care,

RG

RangerG,

We plan to scan all of our games, it's only a matter of finding the time. You're right, it does take quite a bit of effort, but it's worth it. For now, if anyone would like to see the scan of a game, please drop our customer service a line and we'll scan it for you.

 

Thanks StanJr for the praise. We truly strive to serve the classic gaming community to the best of our ability.

 

Sincerely,

Jarett Waite
