So Halloween 2009 has passed and once again it was a wild and crazy weekend. I live in NYC and attended 3 crazy parties that lasted untl the sun came up. For both parties I was dressed as Zorro, complete with mask, cape,sword and hat. On Friday night I was at Pacha and saw some really crazy costumes, left at 5am. On Saturday night I was at M2 and Suzy Wong's and saw even crazier costumes alog with a freak show. The freak show had guys hanging by their skin and you could staple money to their bodies.

Gotta love this holiday!

What was everyone else dressed up as?

I was thinking about some of my older games and was remembering some of theBoss fights and mini enemies that if allowed to get too close, can kill you in one hit no matter how strong you were. I can't remember all of them so I will need some assistance in creating this list. I am not talking about the SMB or Contra games that didnt not have an energy bar, but game characters that would have a special attack that basically had no defense.

Here are a few to get the list started:

1 - Toneberry (FF series) - He had the knife attack that if struck, would kill a character instantly

2 - Bahamut (FFII SNES) - If you didn't cast reflect on your own party, his Mega-Flare caused 9999 damage no matter how strong or what level your characters were.

3 - Mike Tyson (Mike Tyson's Punch-Out NES) - If he connected in the first 2 minutes of round one, you didn't get up.

4 - Emerald Weapon (FFVII) - This underwater weapon would have a timer and once it was up, if he wasn't dead, your team certainly was.

5 - Chainsaw Zombie (RE4) - Yeah, this one wasn't pretty at all.

That can be the first 5... help me add to this list!

I have been debating this topic with myself for a long time, especially since most NES games can be downloaded for use on the Wii or other game consoles. Do I really need to keep the original hard cartridges? All together, including copies, I have about 300 NES games. I even have some complete with original box and manuals.

As for accessories I have the NES Advantage, NES Four Score, Orange light gun and gray light guns, several normal controlers and 3 actual working NES consoles. I refurbished them with new 72 pin connections.

I wonder how much I would actually get for a collection like this? I have many rare games and complete sets of games. For example: Lolo I, II, III andBases Loaded I, II, III, IV and Dragon Warrior I, II, II, IV (Complete with boxes!) and Adventure Island I, II, III. Some rare games are: Captain Comic, Contra Force, Dusty Diamond All-Star Softball, North & South, Fire N Ice and also a couple of those black cartridge bible games. I am sure I have more but I can't think of any right now.

What is the gerneral opinion? I am open to suggestions...
