I was one of few who saw it 5 months earlier, but no one believed me. I saw it at a bowling alley. SMB3 quietly released on Player's choice10 arcade July 15 1989. We had no way of knowing but it was months before official game reveal in The Wizard movie released Dec 15 1989; reason for the silence.

I only have a handful of books on cd or cassette and none on digital. I read 99.5% of my books. I read every day.

I have seen 1 other artwork for it must be newest release. I don't believe original cassette ever came with a slip cover or paper insert case. It's shown in ad on a cardback probably shrink wrapped. I can't be sure but no way I would've thrown it out I'm a notorious packrat (saved long CD cardboard)

I found the Hitchcock book cover with Bela Lugosi drinking from the IV pole Transfusion Blood Bag that the JC Penney 1980 ad reminded me of, sadly he is using a tea cup rather than the wine glass...close enough. Let it all Bleed Out 1973

I wrestled through several boards with every game aid and cheat I could find and it simply is not worth it. I tried hard to like it but it is a bad game. Half the time the pick up item and jump mechanics fail. Now that I know it is just a reskin I am content with just watching a walkthrough video

That time I corrected X-Men editor Tom Brevoort about the basic Wolverine fact of when we learned he was a mutant for his article on "When Was Wolverine Wolverine?" His view on AI is as lazy as his research. Real art and creativity takes effort and time. AI art is lazy and steals from real artists.
