I actually had Bank Heist, so I don't need to look for it. I just forgot to put it on the list. Jawbreaker arrived today. It was in kind of bad shape. The end label was missing, and the game didn't want to work at first. So I cleaned it a little bit. Got the title screen, but once I pressed the reset switch the game zonked out on me. I finally got it working another cleaning later. This is another case of a game being easier using buttons on a keyboard in an emulator than by using a joystick and playing in real life. Anyway, poor Mom. She went up to Portland with my sister's family. Here it is 5:30 and she's still up there. And then it takes an hour to drive back to Salem, and then Mom has to drive back home. She just called me to tell me she's still in Portland. Luckily, I was awake at the time. I had just gotten up from sleeping on the couch and my ear hurt. The pain was intense at first, but then it went away. How weird.
