For this contest we will actually have multiple winners due to the generosity of O'Reilly Publishing. The prizes for this contest are centered around Retro Gaming Hacks by Chris Kohler. I will be doing a full review of the book shortly, but it looks to be filled with great ideas on making the most of old games and consoles.
There will be three winners for this contest, each of which will receive a copy of the Retro Gaming Hacks book, but the 1st prize winner will also win a copy of the very first issue of Sega Visions magazine.

So how do you enter for a chance to win these prizes? All you need to do is write 2 to 3 paragraphs about some of the most popular NES, Genesis/Megadrive, SNES, or N64 games and post it here in this forum thread. Each game you write skillfully about will qualify as one entry into the random drawing. If your writing is especially good, it may qualify for multiple entries.
You can submit as many entries as you would like. After the April 30th deadline, I will draw the user name of an entry at random to choose the winner.
If you had more than one entry in the last contest but didn't win, every two entries will be converted into a bonus entry for this contest. This will also continue on with the next contest.
Entries must be at least 250 words long. (MS Word has a word counter, if you need it).
The selected game must be one that somebody else has written about (first come, first serve). You can reserve your game selection (one reservation at a time per person) by posting the title in this thread and then you can edit that post to include your entry.
Each entry is subject to approval (as long as it reads well and makes sense, it will be approved)
Those that I deem very well though-out and well-written will receive a bonus entry into the drawing.
Obviously, the more entries you have, the better your chances of winning. At the same time, it only takes one entry to win.
As another added bonus, any user that does not win this contest will have extra chances to win towards the next drawing. For every two non-winning entries from this contest, you will have one extra entry thrown in towards the next contest.
