      XPost: comp.sys.cbm, rec.games.video.classic       From: rbernardo@iglou.com              On Mon, 26 Sep 2005, I wrote:              > I just opened its shipping box       > (a Stella Artois box!), and inside it was well-wrapped in bubblewrap.

When       I opened the pyramidal packaging, the card also listed the following:               Summer Games Pole Vault        Diving        Gymnastics        Skeet Shooting              By the way, Argos sticker read,               BOYS TOYS / ELECTRONIC BOYS               369/1715(D)               P/O 748529               The "Set-up Guide and Play Instructions" in the PAL DTV were       different than the "Installation Guide and Instructions" that came with       the NTSC DTV. The PAL instructions had a 3+ and a 5+ (age?) rating with       a website listed at www.pegi.info The PAL instructions had 4 small       photos showing how to install the batteries, whereas the NTSC instructions       have no such photos. Warning, requirements, and tips for set-up were       basically the same between the two, though the PAL instructions included a       warning paragraph for those who suffer from epilepsy and seizures.               More to report later,        Robert Bernardo        Fresno Commodore User Group        http://videocam.net.au/fcug              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
