Re: A82: Dr. Mario Update + dead calc


no you couldn't, becuase the guy only has three 19.0's :-).  PSSSSSSSST!  I
found it in the ticalc.org buy/sell section!  Just don't buy anything from him
until I'm sure I won't buy anything.
I can't find a 17.0 calc for sale!  I would really like to keep my ROM version
(and my monopoly!), so if ANYONE knows where I could get a used 17.0 calc,
please don't hesitate to contact me!
Thanx
