Loved this game when we first got it years ago but lost our copy of the game. Evidently this game wasn't played widely in the US and although the graphics are "old school" it is great fun. It essentially combines town building with adventuring and extra little mini games mixed in. This game came out before the Pokemon craze so it has some similar elements with using monsters to fight but the monsters you get to use are based on the eggs you find in your adventure. The biggest challenge is starting the adventure from level 1 each time and building up to the higher levels before heading back to your house. Hours of interesting game play :-)

Awesome Affordable Duplex Printer
Hewlett Packard stands for quality printers in my opinion and the Officejet Pro 8500 does not disappoint. Normal printing comes out crisp and professional much faster than less expensive all in one printers. The Officejet Pro 8500 works as a printer, fax, and scanner covering all the necessary functionality needed for a home office or small business. The ability to duplex print, print on both sides of the paper, makes this printer a Green option which also cuts costs for the home or business user. I recommend this printer for personal or professional use and encourage purchase through eBay to save on the retail cost as I did.

Screen Size Does Make A Difference
I bought the 3DS XL because my daughter has a 3DS and wanted another town to go to in Animal Crossing, which I like to play as well. The first thing I noticed is this unit is thinner and wider than my daughter's regular 3DS but not uncomfortably large for a hand held unit. Setup is easy and I love the fact they have Parental Controls, which I use on my daughter's since she is too young to be online unsupervised. The design of the 3DS XL seems a bit nicer than the regular 3DS as the stylus fits nicely in a slot on the bottom within easy reach, rather than in the back like the regular 3DS. The touch screens in both units are very responsive and even a fingernail will work as the stylus in a pinch. My favorite feature of the 3DS XL is the larger screens. I didn't think it would make much difference at first but using the two units side by side, there is a significant difference when going from the 3DS to the 3DS XL. The graphics are still crisp but much easier to read without having the unit too close to your face. Although I love the unit overall, I think the $40-60 increase in price for a bit larger screen is a bit much. The hinge on the 3DS XL seems sturdier as well but these two items don't seem to add up to the increased price in my opinion. If you can find a good one used, especially with included extras, it can be a great buy for kids and adults. Game On!
