For the next 14 days, thanks to the folks at X-Arcade, we are giving away one of four different Jakks Pacific TV games and a Midway PC CD, every day up to and including February 26th.

All you need to do to enter is send an email a day to the RetroBlast contest account.

Rules and stuff are at RetroBlast on the homepage as well as in today's news.

While you're there, check out a new interview posted last Friday by Bob Seidel with MAME Developer - Aaron Giles

Interview: http://www.retroblast.com/newsitem.php?cid=690

Enjoy!

UPDATE:

1. Midnight will be based on Eastern Standard Time.  Essentially any email in the contest box tonight, with a timestamp prior to 12:00am EST will be removed and we start fresh.

2. Let's give everyone a shot, so one prize per person. Win once and you will be out of the running for the remainder of the contest.

3. In the US 48 - shipping is free:

However, due to popular outcry we will ship outside of the US 48, but in that case the winner will be responsible for shipping charges. The vendor will ship the items to me and I will then turn them around to winners outside of the US 48.

I think that does it, Good Luck!!

Remember the vendor is only willing to ship them to the US 48, if you have someone that can act as a proxy and send the item from here, go for it.

What time zone are your midnight and noon based on?  I didn't notice if somebody was able to win more than once... not that I usually win anything, but for others that may.  I'm presuming that since the shipping is limited to the continental US that the winner is not responsible for shipping charges?

Here is the skinny -

1. Midnight will be based on Eastern Standard Time.  Essentially any email in the contest box tonight, with a timestamp prior to 12:00am EST will be removed and we start fresh.

2. Let's give everyone a shot, so one prize per person. Win once, you will be out of the running for the remainder of the contest.

3. In the US 48 - shipping is free:

However, due to popular outcry we will ship outside of the US 48, but in that case the winner will be responsible for shipping charges. The vendor will ship the items to me and I will then turn them around to winners outside of the US 48.

I think taht does it, Good Luck!!

I have to admit I was a little ignorant as to what games were on each joystick, so the following link might be helpful when deciding which prize you want if you find yourself a winner.

Jakks TV Games
