Santa Claus came early this year, very early and unexpected
« on: August 31, 2011, 07:26:46 PM »
I just got home from work and my wife told me that there was a package for me, a box.  ???

I don't recall that I expected something (big), so I was pretty curious what was in it. It came from Germany, from someone whose name didn't ring a bell.

I opened it quickly, and look what was in it  :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:



 :o :o I started shaking, and I quickly unraffled the package. And yes!!!! It is an original ....... POOYAN PCB



And now I'm a very happy guy. I was searching for this game for a long time now, once thought that I got it through a famous German scammer, could get bootlegs, but I only wanted the real thing.

And here she is, lying on my table (oh, perhaps I should say 'it' instead of 'she').  ;D

Anyway, I really don't know how, why and from whom this great gift came, but I do have a hunch. and if my hunch is true, then someone is going to get a great at the Eurocade party.

Congrats in getting it finally :-)

At first I thought the scammer came through, but this is a nice turn to get it from someone you know.

Of course it is a 'she', but it sounds a bit kinky saying that she is lying on my table.  :D

I just finished loading Gravitar in my car for the biggest event of the year, but I couldn't wait any longer to see if it is really true. So I did a quick check on my New Astro City:





Yep, it's Pooyan allright, running 100%.
