This plot originally came from the 1987 classic for NES, Castlevania. No suffixes. This is the one that started it all.The play control is good, but not... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~457586740868 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 21:29:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_457586740868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_457365229188?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jzorns - Unlike the original reviewer, I never did play the original Chrono Trigger on SNES. I'm old enough, I did have SNES, but was not into role-playing games (RPGs) at that time.

We didn't have good graphics or sound, so we had good play control and fun game play.What is this game similar to?

Let's face it: chess with a control pad is awkward and slow. In this game, the control pad and buttons are strictly optional.

For years, I fought a losing battle with the !#$%^ inkjet printers. I print mostly documents, but with the occasional photo thrown in. So I'd use the black ink cartridges, open a photo color cartridge, make a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~450975207044 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 22:50:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_450975207044?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_450974879364?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jzorns - I bought my Delica after several years of carrying an Endura. The Endura was always just a touch too big. I don't fight often (read: ever) so I didn't need such a big knife.What I wanted was something that would be handy day-to-day, yet be... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~450974879364 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 22:42:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_450974879364?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_450973961860?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jzorns - I bought my Pentax K100D when I was ready to move up from my Olympus superzoom "prosumer" point & shoot camera.I bought it to get into digital SLRs.

I thought my trusty TI-85 would not be powerful enough, because it didn't do calculus. The TI-89 had not been introduced yet. So I splurged and bought the 48GX.

I asked my buddies over at woodnet.net what they thought of the chances of me finding a jobsite saw with a quality fence were, and the recommendations were for this, the Bosch 4000 and the DeWalt... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~410848693892 Sat, 15 Dec 2007 13:00:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_410848693892?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_410637340292?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jzorns - I bought this router online from amazon for about $100. I was disappointed to find that the safety certification agency that listed it is CSA (Canadian Standards Association) and not UL.

It might be as much as 10 years now, as I don't see the option of Ni-MH batteries any more for it. This was the main selling point for this drill as opposed to DeWalt at the time.

You can play a game if you want, but it is somewhat frustrating for someone who plays often, because such care is needed to keep the pieces within the squares. The felt is also not glued to the bottoms of the pieces very... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~400378531460 Fri, 10 Aug 2007 12:50:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_400378531460?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_400352906884?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jzorns - I had one of these last year, and managed to lose it somehow. For the price, you can't beat this little chess game. It's perfect to occupy your mind while on a trip, in line, on lunch, etc. Trying to keep cost down, Excalibur made the LCD segments... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~400352906884 Fri, 10 Aug 2007 00:55:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_400352906884?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_351733321348?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jzorns - Economy cars have come a long way in the last 30 years.

Toyota designed this car. Pontiac bought the rights to sell it under their own name, since they cannot design reliable cars on their own.

The foam seals around the film door are a little toasted, but that will be the case on any older camera (1979) that has actually been used.
