    Who would have thought that all that practice blowing on NES games would pay off? Now all I have to do is learn how to play the harmonica really well, and I can finally quit this blogging business and begin the exciting and lucrative life of the hobo!

    There are three harmonicas and three harmonicas only, people. Choose from Super Mario Bros 3, a gold Legend of Zelda, or Dick Tracy. Amazingly, SMB3 has the highest bid right now. I would think all those glamorous harmonica players would want to rock the gold.

    The actual game PCB is included with the sale, though I’m not sure it’s a good idea to try to make it work without the cartridge. I’m just superstitious like that.
