    The former.

    BC, huh? I have a buddy up there...sent me some interesting 'local flora' in a recent swap...
    I really dig Canada. I grew up near the border, (Upstate NY) so we went all the time..Quebec, Hartford, Parc Safari, Montreal, Toronto, etc...
    (Really enjoyed Montreal as a young adult..heh heh...but we wont go there...there are 'kids' here...heh... )

    Enjoy, Gyps. The NES will always hold a place in my heart...along with SNES, PS2, GBA, and Master System.
    The very first NES game that I ever owned, outside of Mario/Duck Hunt, was Castlevania. I got it in my Easter basket when I was 12 or 13....one of the last EBs I ever got, and one of the finest.

    Error - I'll just assume that you have air conditioning.... ?

    Not good.

    Still not worse than staring at a 120$ Water Bill I was responsible for.

    We had rain one day last week, that lasted about 2 hours, other than that, no rain over the past 3 weeks.

    Yar, BC. Been here for a little over ten years now. And I'm really hoping "local flora" means exactly what I think it means.
    I like it. Not too hot, not too cold. I'm extreme West Coast, though -- island in the Pacific, just outside of Vancouver.

    Castlevania was one of the first games I got for my NES, too. Got it as a Christmas gift for the family when I was 3 (soo... 1991, give or take). Came with Mario, Zelda, Tetris, and a couple of other games that are escaping me right now. We picked up Castlevania shortly thereafter -- probably when garage sale season started up. that game.

    You all have NES memories, I had to discover the NES after the SNES.

    By the time I could really start enjoying the games for it, its life cycle was over. I do remember cutting out letters from Kellogg's or Post cereal boxes (can't remember which brand) to spell out Nintendo, then mailing them in to get a free game. That's how I got Kirby's Adventure.

    Love Castlevania, myself. Well, except when the games go 3-D...not my scene..ughhh. The GBA and DS versions are among my favorite games of all time. Period. I was right at the 'prime age' during the NES' rise in the US. Grand times. Scrimped for months to buy Faxanadu for $42.99...heh...

    And, yes, 'local flora' means EXACTLY that, heh. I will probably retire to either Canada, Upstate NY, or Maine...just havent decided yet...
    Sure miss the Canadian beers and grocery stores....man...grand stuff. And poutine...cant live without a good poutine..

    Sword - Its not your 'fault' that you were born after the fact, heh... I'd say that getting our NES was a pretty jarring experience for my young mind....right up there with seeing Star Wars in the theatres in the late 70s...un-fu$king-real...yep.

    Still.
    But I was at the end of SNES and at the beginning of the N64 era.
