Oh yeah, question for Albert: Can we use the box instead of the cart? They're larger and can be read from a longer distance.

@ Dolt, RE: Ghostbusters 1 and 2

You bastard.  Let's Get Skase was filmed near me and that's it.  :x  :D  :P

That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me! :dunce:

I actually had to go waaay out of my way to go down to Soho on my commute in from the suburbs to work. It was fun though, 'cause I'd never been there before.

As for my Waterworld shot, I was going to actually put the cart in a sealed plastic bag with a fishing weight behind the cart, and sink it to the bottom of my aquarium, but I chickened out. :D I have an alternate shot of it in the baggie behind the tank so that it almost looks like it's in the tank, but I chose the one I submitted because it has better composition.

It's a term of affection in Australia :P

It probably should have been lucky bastard. :D

All the entries so far are great. Given me ideas they have. :evil:

Sorry if this was mentioned a while ago, but is there a limit as to how many entries each person can submit?

Ric, I've been puzzling all day on how you managed to pull off that great Star Master/Star Raiders photo without resorting to Photoshop. It sure doesn't look like you faked it, because there'd be telltale marks in the video grain in your image. So enquiring minds want to know--how'd you do it? :)

It's two images stiched together. You can see the join if you zoom in enough.

Hey, I love all of the entries so far, but when are we going to see the Creepy Puppet Holiday Cart? Xmas 2004, perhaps? :P

Was the guy in the turban a planned addition or just a fluke? He kinda makes the whole picture!

Fifth and final...

Was there a movie or character out at one time that might have inspired both the game and the business?
