		<description><![CDATA[I actually had Bank Heist, so I don't need to look for it. I just forgot to put it on the list. Jawbreaker arrived today. It was in kind of bad shape. The end label was missing, and the game didn't want to work at first. So I cleaned it a little bit. Got the title screen, but once I pressed the reset switch the game zonked out on me. I finally got it working another cleaning later. This is another case of a game being easier using buttons on a keyboard in an emulator than by using a joystick and playing in real life. Anyway, poor Mom. She went up to Portland with my sister's family. Here it is 5:30 and she's still up there. And then it takes an hour to drive back to Salem, and then Mom has to drive back home. She just called me to tell me she's still in Portland. Luckily, I was awake at the time. I had just gotten up from sleeping on the couch and my ear hurt. The pain was intense at first, but then it went away. How weird.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While I was finished with the program, I wasn't completely thrilled with it. The "press 1 to go first" and "press 2 to go second" messages stayed on throughout the whole game. So, I went back to programming the game. It took about an hour or two, but I finally got those messages off once play begins. So, now I'm happy...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I gave up on NES programming. It's too hard. So instead what I'm going to do is try to port NES games to the 2600. Since the only drawing program on the VCS is Stell-a-Sketch, I'm trying my hand at porting <a href='http://www.nintendoage.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=NES.View&egID=2550&lgID=1119' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow'>Videomation</a> to the 2600.

		<description><![CDATA[OK, so I thought I'd begin NES programming by making a simple blue screen as my first project. After downloading tons of different emulators and apps, and reading tons of sites about NES programming and what to type, etc. I can't even do that simple task. Now, I am a visual learner, and I learn by examples: tweaking them to fit my needs,...]]></description>
