Clearly Dope

I really enjoyed The Wizard with Fred Savage. It was an inspiration. So here are a few fun facts about The Wizard found at IMDB. Just in case you're at dinner and need something to discuss.
- Marked the first public unveiling of EAD's then-anticipated (but still popular) Super Mario Bros. 3.
- Was entitled "Joy Stick Heroes" in numerous European countries.
- The sounds made by Lucas' Power Glove as he punches its keys are the famous five tones from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. (Lucas was the original dbag along with William Zabka.)

I don't have the PS3,the Atari Lynx or the NeoGeo but this guy doesn't have the 32x, Odyssey 2, VSmile,or Atari 7800 so it's a draw.

I think you win Jermbro. I didn't even know there was something called a VSmile.
