There's a ton of stuff that didn't make it into the final article that should have been worth noting...but in the interest of not writing another three page article, I thought I'd bring some stuff into the forums for the Gamepack thread. So without further adieu, here are more of those priceless tips from your friendly homeless Russian with the shifty eyes:










Aaaaaaaanyways, feel free to add your own two cents on these things...especially if you remember these growing up!

I hear you there. Nintendo had us in the palms of thier hands back then...we could have had the blood banks overflowing if we were of age and not any wiser! The flea market I originally got them at was selling them for about a dime a pack and even then my parents were screaming jip over it. I remember those actually had the GPK gum in them, which I assume is the version after this batch I got off of Ebay. While the GPK gum had some semblence of flavor that lasted all of 30 seconds, the gum in the Nintendo cards tasted like plastic and death. Maybe it was the humidity, maybe it was the creepy old couple selling them, or maybe it was just the essence of these things...

BTW, welcome to the boards Mr. Freely!

Wow...

I almost feel bad to be a Nintendo fan...
